About this gym

The Pad Climbing started as the country's first non-profit bouldering gym in a tiny storage unit and has grown into a multi-location climbing gym brand spanning San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara, California, and Binghamton, New York. Each location features rope climbing and bouldering walls, a dedicated training area with weights and cardio equipment, kids' areas, yoga space, and retail. The Pad emphasizes community, fitness, and accessibility for climbers of all ages and abilities, with youth teams, climbing instruction, and community outreach programs like Climb4Community.
