Physical 100 has been all the rage these days. If you were inspired to get into shape from watching the show, here’s one workout you can consider – rock climbing.
Scaling a rock wall is really no walk in the park. It requires both physical and mental strength – it’s pretty much a full-body workout. Think your body is up for a challenge? Put your strength and agility to the test at these climbing gyms in Singapore.
1. Project Send
Project Send’s sprawling 5,200 sqft boasts over 70 climbing walls of varying difficulty for both newbies and pro climbers. If you’ve always wanted to give climbing a go but don’t like being too far from the ground, then Project Send is a good place for you to take flight.
There’s more than to do than just monkeying around at Project Send. They also have strength training and mobility classes for you to get into your ideal Kim Min Cheol-esque physique.
After working up a sweat, the climbing gym also has an in-house cafe with delicious bites like grilled cheese sandwiches, bagels, and peanut butter and jelly toasties. Reward yourself with a refreshing smoothie or juice, or get a cup of freshly brewed coffee for a good post-workout caffeine boost.

2. boulder+
Seasoned climbers will be familiar with this climbing space. Located at Aperia Mall, boulder+ features several bouldering walls as well as an endurance wall. Most of the walls here cater to more experienced climbers, but they also have several beginner-friendly routes for rookies to put their strength and agility to the test.
The climbing gym also features topout boulders, which are meant to simulate natural outdoor climbing. You can have your own “Mount Everest victory moment” when you scale to the top of the wall.
If you think that rock climbing is a piece of cake, think again. Give the gym’s 60° overhang wall to get a taste of what climbing really entails. Spoiler alert: you’ll definitely find yourself using your hands, feet, and core muscles to scale the wall. Still think climbing is a piece of cake?

4. Boulder Movement
Boulder Movement is perfect for those who are dipping their toes into the world of rock climbing for the first time. This beginner-friendly gym has a variety of challenging routes for you to try out and hone your climbing skills.
The walls here mostly focus on horizontal movements, with some parts of the course requiring you to swing and jump like Tarzan. Seasoned climbers will enjoy the 70° overhang wall which lets you display your pro-climber skills. As with most overhang wall climbs, you’ll need plenty of core strength if you wanna stay stuck on the wall.
The climbing gym has an outlet conveniently located in OUE Tower (perfect for CBD workers), so you can climb your way up the corporate ladder in the day and scale this rock wall at night.

Each wall has their own fair share of challenges and they have different difficulty levels for beginner and seasoned climbers to explore.
