Rock climbing and bouldering gyms have gained traction as a way to shake up your exercise routine. While both are considered an all-encompassing full-body workout that builds strength and endurance, there are differences between the two in terms of how it is executed. Rock climbing is carried out with a rope and protective gear, and you typically climb over 9-10m off the ground, whereas bouldering is done with just climbing shoes and you climb up to half the height.
You practice how you can maneuver grip-holds, manipulate where your body weight rests, and contort your body into positions where you can stretch that little bit further to reach the next handhold.
If climbing is an alternative sport or way you would like to get fit, then it’s only imperative that you know the price guide to the climbing gyms in Singapore to decide where you want to train. Let’s take a look into the costs involved behind this sport.

Climbing Equipment For Bouldering And Top-Rope
Before we start climbing, we would need a few pieces of equipment to get started. If you’re doing top-rope climbing, you’ll need a harness and climbing shoes. If you’re bouldering, only climbing shoes are required. We can either purchase and bring our own equipment or rent them from the gym. Generally, the rental prices for both climbing shoes and harnesses would cost about $20 to $30 per session. Socks are required when you are wearing rented shoes. If you have forgotten to bring socks, some gyms do offer socks for sale.
Optional equipment includes climbing chalk and belay devices which can be purchased. However, beginners or leisure climbers generally do not require these items.

Courses And Certification
Particularly for top-rope courses, rock climbing certifications may be part of the costs involved. Common courses that individuals join include the Singapore National Climbing Standards (SNCS) courses ranging across 3 levels certified by the Singapore Mountaineering Federation and the Assisted Belay Device (ABD) certification.
If we wish to belay for our friends, having a level 1 ANCS certification together with ABD certification would be the minimum requirement.
Course prices usually range from $10 for ABD certification and from $70 for SNCS certifications. These courses are also offered only at selected gyms.
Rates
Rates for climbing classes are usually priced according to:
– Day passes
– Set packages (usually in packs of 10 classes, 15 classes, 20 classes)
– Monthly membership
Some gyms also offer concession rates for youths, parent-child purchases, or entry during off-peak hours. Do note that some gyms have certain exclusions to sharing passes in a package, while others are non-transferrable once purchased under your name.
