Arkansas, Climb Bentonville is a state-of-the-art indoor rock climbing and fitness facility designed to serve the growing community of recreational climbers in Northwest Arkansas. With the region’s rugged natural landscape drawing increasing interest in outdoor climbing, this facility provides a year-round indoor training environment that supports skill development, fitness, and community engagement.
MBL was engaged by a private investor to design this flagship facility for The Climb Gyms brand within Northwest Arkansas. The project reflects the owners’ passion for rock climbing and their commitment to promoting healthy, active lifestyles—especially among youth. The 23,000-square-foot facility includes more than 16,000 square feet of diverse climbing terrain, featuring areas for bouldering, top-roping, lead climbing, and a dedicated children’s climbing zone.
The design integrates spaces for both physical and mental development, including strength training areas, yoga and fitness studios, birthday party rooms, and elevated viewing platforms. Climbing routes accommodate a full range of skill levels, from beginner-friendly walls to challenging 50- foot routes tailored to experienced climbers.
Climb Bentonville has quickly become the city’s premier destination for rock climbing, yoga, and wellness. More than just a gym, it serves as a community hub where individuals and families come together to pursue fitness, adventure, and personal growth in a welcoming, inclusive environment.
