Open to members 24/7
We are a bouldering-only gym which is one of the reasons we are able to be open 24/7. We have a ton of terrain, walls at all angles, and problems set for all body types and skill levels.
We also have outdoor climbing on the roof. The rooftop climbing is open year round, but we do scale things back a bit in the winter.
Fitness &
Training
Tension Board
This training board uses wooden holds (which are gentle on your hands), and pairs with an app to structure your training. The holds are set up symmetrically left/right, and integrated lights show you where to move next. It’s an effective and fun way to get strong!
Kilter Board
Our Kilter Board has an adjustable angle, pairs with an app, and is a great way to train. Similar to a ‘Moon Board’ or a ‘Tension Board’, the Kilter Board is generally a little easier to start training with because the holds are a little larger and smoother. It’s cool! Give it a Google if you want to know more.
Campus & Hang Boards
Brace yourself for some climbing jargon! We have a full campus board with three standard sizes of Tension Rungs, as well as Jug Rungs. Our hangboards include the Tension Grindstone, Simple Board, the Beastmaker 1K and 2K, Trango Rock Prodigy, Beastmaker Micros, Baboon Pinch Blocks, and other odds and ends (such as weights, pulleys and harnesses). Want something else? Be sure to let us know!
Treadwall
Think treadmill, but vertical. The TreadWall is a vertical conveyor belt with climbing holds on it. It allows you to climb for as long as you can before fatiguing. This is a great way to train for longer climbs outdoors.
Weight Training
Our weight area has a full range of Rogue equipment, including 4 squat/bench stations, dumbbells, kettlebells, medicine balls, pull up stations, a sled, and more.
Cardio Machines
We have plenty of cardio machines to help get your heart rate up. Choose from rowing machines, ellipticals, treadmills, stationary bikes, a Jacobs ladder, and a stair climber.
Slacklines
Similar to a tightrope, a slackline is a flat length of webbing tensioned between two anchors. Improve your balance and coordination by walking, jumping, and doing tricks! We currently have one permanent 2" line.
THE ANNEX
The annex is an extension of the Brooklyn Gym located just across the street. This Space is where all Fitness classes are conducted and contains additional fitness and cardio equipment that is in the main gym. It is included with membership and is operational during peak hours only. It does not have 24 hour access.
Extras
Sauna
We have a great view from the roof, so we put a sauna up there. It’s especially nice after climbing on the roof on a cold day! Please read through our sauna FAQs before visiting.
Showers
Yes, we have showers, but did you know we also have outdoor showers on the roof? Because...why not?
Lockers
Check! You don’t need to bring a lock, and you can’t leave your stuff overnight.
Social Space
Bring your work or homework to the gym and hang out. A change of scene can help you get some work done.
Youth Area
Children are welcome at VITAL Brooklyn—we have a specific kids’ section featuring kid-friendly climbs and a slide to get down! Learn more about all our youth offerings here.
