July brought some real changes to the gym. New flooring is in and it already feels different underfoot. Summer camp has been packed this month — great to see so many kids on the wall. Personal Training is going strong, our adaptive climbing sessions kept going strong too, and a handful of new lead lines went up for anyone looking for something new to work through.
A lot happened in one month. What stood out to you?

Huge thank you to our flooring crew for 8 straight days of hard work — you knocked it out and we couldn’t be more grateful.
