Brooklyn Boulders (BKB) designs, builds and operates hybrid rock climbing facilities anchored by the premise that physicality stimulates innovation and creativity. BKBCHI our new 23,000 square foot facility, is slated to open Fall 2014 in Chicago’s West Loop. It will offer progressive climbing and fitness experiences while providing an unconventional platform to bring the arts, music, and entrepreneurial communities together.

23,000 square feet of world-class rock climbing and hybrid fitness space is about to hit Chicago’s West Loop. From bouldering walls to 50’ towers, BKBCHI is bringing a city centric accessible climbing facility to the Chicago metro area. While climbing is our core competency, we experiment with layering and integrating various forms of fitness into climbing to create new unconventional fitness experiences. From yoga to capoeira, adventure obstacle race training, and the Active Collaborative Workspace - a build in shared office space concept – BKBCHI is not your typical climbing gym. Expect to experience the combination of physicality and creativity in a refreshing way.

Brooklyn Boulders is heavily focused on hiring from the military veteran community. Brooklyn Boulders collaborates with Tactivate, an initiative focused on connecting Special Operations veterans with forward leaning entrepreneurs and business owners, integrating military leadership and communication models into the private sector. BKBCHI is experimenting with incorporating military management structures into the business and hiring from the veteran community to staff leadership positions.
