ABOUT & FAQ
ABOUT US
Opened in 2021, The Knot Climbing Gym is a full-service indoor rock climbing gym that offers climbing, yoga, and other forms of fitness. We aim to provide an experience that is accessible and enriches the lives of members, guests, and the surrounding community. Climbing is at the heart of everything we do. We strive to create a memorable experience for all who visit our facility. At the heart of our brand is a team of skilled, passionate routesetters, instructors, and staff who are here to help you reach your climbing goals.
CORE VALUES
We exist, and strive, to facilitate meaningful friendships, connections, and community for our members, guests & staff. In every interaction, we seek to enrich lives and provide a sense of belonging through the climbing experience, our programs, and community partnerships.
Check your knots, check your blindspots, and check yourself.
We check, and double-check, the critical equipment on which we and others rely. We keep our eyes open and seek 360-degree visibility of our surroundings. We remind ourselves that the opportunity to pursue our goals and dreams comes from a place of extreme privilege; because of this, we actively work towards greater equity and inclusivity so others may share in this privilege.
Be bold, take the chance.
We calculate the risks and decide to act in spite of fear. This courage can manifest in many ways: climbing scary routes, building a business, or even dyeing our hair. We celebrate taking steps outside our comfort zone.
Care about the results.
As part of a community, we understand our actions reverberate beyond us and so we strive for positive change. Our impact isn't just a consideration - it's a driving force. (An impact driver also happens to be a tool that helps us create the routes.)
Be yourself, wholly.
We can only be who we are in this world. We're proud of ourselves and our Florida roots. Though we may outgrow our swampy pastures, our growth will always remain authentic to the variety of influences and experiences that make us unique.
Amplify the spark that moves people.
Encouraging and inspiring individuals to improve beyond what they thought possible - that's what gets us up in the morning.
MEET THE TEAM
A business is only as good as their team of people. Lucky for us, our team is incredible. We hope you get a chance to meet every friendly, knowledgeable face on staff during your time at the gym.

Yes! Our day passes are $25 and we offer them from 10am - 3pm on Mondays - Fridays. Passes include access to all climbing areas and the training area. Rental gear is available for an additional fee. Day passes are a great way to try out the gym before committing to a membership.
If it's your first time at the gym, you can fill out our liability waiver here. Don't forget to bring a valid ID so we can verify your information. If you're under the age of 18, a parent or guardian will need to complete the waiver for you and we'll need to see a copy of their ID.
Memberships are available for purchase online or at the front desk. As a new member, you only pay for the remaining days of the month, so we recommend waiting until you're ready to start climbing. After that, you'll be automatically billed $80 on the first of every month.
Whether you sign up online or at the gym, our front desk staff will give you the rundown of all your member benefits. We'll take a picture for your account and give you a key-tag for easy check-in and discounts around town!
Your membership includes unlimited access to all climbing areas (bouldering and top-rope), yoga classes, the training area, and rental gear. You also get free or discounted access to additional classes and events.
Every adult member gets one free guest pass a month and can bring additional guests for only $15 each. Bring up to three guests at one time! Rental gear is always included.
Once you're a member, you can use your key tag for members-only discounts at our local partners. Check out the membership page for more details!
We prorate your first month of membership, which means you're only paying for the remaining days of the month. Then, it's just $80/month, billed on the first of every month.
There's no contracts, start-up or cancellation fees - so cancel anytime, no strings attached. Cancellation requests will go into effect prior to the next billing cycle. You can enjoy your membership for the remainder of the month, with no worries about it charging you for the next month. All change requests must be submitted at least 5 days prior to billing (usually the 25th of the month), to ensure that we're able to process them in time.
If you're planning on taking a break, consider our Freeze option instead. Freezing is only $8/month and allows you to easily restart your membership anytime - just pay for the rest of the month & you're good to go!
We only prorate once, so cancelled members will have to pay the full membership price when they reactivate their account.
To keep the gym safe and fun for everyone, we have a few important policies in place:
Children under 5 are not permitted to climb in our facility.Children 12 and under must be actively supervised by an adult at all times. We follow a 1:1 adult-to-child ratio.For youth ages 13-15, we require at least one adult for every four climbers (4:1 ratio).
IMPORTANT NOTE: The gym can get crowded during peak hours, which makes it tougher for younger kids to climb safely. For that reason, we require that climbers 12 and under finish their sessions before 6 PM.
Kids & Youth memberships must be attached to a full-price adult membership ($80/month) and do not receive full member benefits. Check out our membership page for more info on benefits and registration.
Kids Membership (Ages 5 - 12): $25/monthYouth Membership (Ages 13 - 17): $45/month
Minors 16 and older have the option to sign up for an Adult Membership or a Youth Membership. Take a look at the benefits on our member page.
Rental gear is included with memberships and member guest passes. For day pass holders, we offer gear rentals for only $5 extra.
We require everyone on the wall to wear climbing shoes. Bare feet, street shoes, toe shoes, or sock-feet are not permitted on the climbing walls.
We do not have auto-belays, but we have over 6,000 square feet of bouldering and top-rope walls.
Interested in top-roping? We offer belay classes throughout the week for members & their guests. If you already know how to belay, our desk staff can do a belay check-off for you next time you're in the gym.
