2. @claudiaclimbs is our amazing programs manager who puts in countless hours. She wears many hats; from working front desk, editing my many typos🤣, helping clean, managing social media content, to creating and managing our awesome growing programs at the gym. She has gone above and beyond to make Roots a fun gym!
3. @m2ry is our incredible general manager who also wears many hats; from working front desk, helping clean, to managing all the many areas of running a climbing gym. She has also put in countless hours, has been working insanely hard, and has been an invaluable part of forming this amazing space.
4. @marklargephotography is such a wonderful addition to the team. He is an incredibly hard worker who brings light to the gym with his great work ethic and his positive attitude whether behind the front desk (greeting guests, checking people in), giving tours of the gym, cleaning, and check in on/helping guests in the gym.

I can’t say enough good words about the entire crew! I will feature others to come 😃❤️🙌

Construction continues! 🚧🪚🗜️🧰
🔹 The paint in our lobby dried just in time for
8,000 lbs of fitness equipment to be delivered 🏋🏽
🔹Bathrooms and party rooms have walls! Fingers crossed for some plumbing soon. 😅🤞🏽
🔹Fresh paint just about everywhere and anywhere! (non climbing walls need love too!)
🔹Our setters are putting up climbs! Thankful for the work they put in 🫶🏼
🔹Not pictured - floor boards replaced, hvac install, city inspections, electrical - our building crew stays busy!

So many projects all at once and everyone’s labor is a huge part of the roots going into this place.
It’s truly coming along! 🤩

We’ll keep sharing updates and progress as it comes. Stay tuned ✨

Progress Report 🏗️
🔸 Upstairs mats are coming along! They’ve been laid out, fitted and are about to be covered!
🔸Basement mats are DONE along with the training room mats!
🔸More space for working in the lobby! With the @vertical_solutions team sadly moving on, space is being cleared up as they pack up 😢
…
🚧 While there’s been a ton of progress all around (especially with the climbing walls + mats) there’s still plenty of work to be done 🥵
Our builders have been working hard on the huge under taking of rehabbing an old church gym! The process has been really cool to see day after day. We’ll keep sharing this next phase of construction with everyone as it happens ! 🔨🔩🧰

We’ve got L A N D I N G 🛬
If you’ve been keeping up with our stories you know our bouldering mats have finally arrived! 🤩
The @vertical_solutions team has been hard at work moving (so heavy 🥵), cutting and fitting mats where they can!
On top of that tough labor they’ve made big progress on the kids wall and continuing the build of our steepest wall 🦇
While there’s still a bit of work to get done throughout the building the @climbing.roots team is getting so siked for this next phase!
finished walls + mats = 🔸🔺🔹▪️
s o o n , s o o n !

Earth Day Festival 🌎
Thanks to our new neighbors @71southknox for hosting such an awesome event yesterday! We had a blast watching bike competitions, riding bikes and sharing a sneak peek of the gym. More than anything we loved meeting and hearing from our community 🫶🏼
If we missed you yesterday be sure to come out to @outlandish_af next weekend where we’ll have a booth set up. Hope to see you there!
