The New “Climb So Ill” Climbing Gym in St. Louis
“If you want it badly enough, you will climb it”. That seems to be the prevalent motto for a unique new kind of gym here in Saint Louis. Not so new across the country, but new to STL is the latest fitness rage…climbing gyms. One of two active climbing gyms here in the city, Climb So Ill makes lots of promises. It promises to be the gym for both the hard-core climber and the recreational one. It promises to be fun AND educational. And it promises a whole new fitness experience. One step inside this beautiful new facility will show you that it does not have to look or feel like you are outside to get the same intense climb workout that you would get actually being outside. And bright lighting, artistic wall design, as well as functionality are all brought together as a mastermind of the beauty of climbing, brought to life inside a surprising location.
