Even if you ain’t as muscular as Superman or Dwayne the Rock, bouldering is still for you.
In fact, it is for all kinds of people and built, and being muscular doesn’t mean you are good at it. It’s all about techniques and footwork. With that being said, here are some great places for you to choose from to sweat it out.
- FitBloc
FitBloc is a great place if you wanna chill and work out at the same time. Due to its location, this crowd here are much slower. The plus point of this place is the facilities offered. More than just the many lockers and showering cubicles, there is a sauna free for use at this place. You can literally spend your whole day here to do some reading, climbing, and sauna. Totally making that money worth it.

The boulder space here is relatively small and the walls here are pretty low. Probably a good place to start off for beginners.

Their Kallang gym is located at an open space in the shopping mall, so you can expect some curious eyes peeping as you climb.

Don’t be fooled by the size of this gym. Located in amongst shophouses, Kinetic is a great place for bouldering beginners to Jedi masters. The variety of “problems” here makes it easy for people transiting between “problems” level. Plus point here is that they change their set bi-weekly, so you are sure to face a different challenge when you come.

More than just building strength, bouldering is also about solving problems. Every step requires advance thinking and planning. And apparently, we heard that it is one of the best sports to help people cope with depression!
