Commercial Climbing Gym Design Service
Commercial Climbing Gym Design Service
The Chompers Commercial Climbing Gym Design Service helps gym owners, founders, architects and facility planners understand what their space can support before committing to a full climbing gym build.
This paid design service includes a basic layout, 3D visualisation, climbing wall design, matting layout, cost estimate and equipment list. It is designed for clients who have already engaged an architect or have access to floor plans, ceiling heights, photos, videos, budget guidance and preferred climbing disciplines.
The service is useful for new gym founders evaluating a potential site, property-secured projects moving toward construction, existing gyms planning an expansion, and schools, universities or recreation centres planning a climbing facility.
If you proceed with Chompers for the full gym build, the design fee is credited toward the project. Chompers can also provide design-only services if you do not require full project delivery.

What The Design Includes
What The Design Includes
The design package includes the core planning outputs needed to understand your climbing gym concept before committing to the full build.
Included in the service:
- Initial project review
- Basic climbing gym layout
- 3D visualisation
- Climbing wall design
- Matting layout
- Equipment list
- Early project cost estimate
- Up to three design revisions
- Approximate one-month turnaround
The design can include bouldering, lead climbing, top rope, speed climbing and training areas depending on your project goals, building constraints and preferred climbing disciplines.
Information Required
Information Required
To begin the design process, Chompers will need clear project information so the concept can be designed around the real building and budget.
Required information typically includes:
- Floor plans
- Ceiling height
- Photos or videos of the site
- Project budget
- Preferred climbing disciplines
- Project location
- Any architectural drawings already prepared
The more accurate the starting information, the more useful the design package will be. If you are still evaluating a site, Chompers can still review the available information and help you understand whether the space may be suitable for a climbing facility.
Design Credit & Next Steps
Design Credit & Next Steps
The Commercial Climbing Gym Design Service is paid upfront.
If you proceed with Chompers for the full climbing gym project, the design fee is credited toward the build. This gives you a lower-risk way to begin planning before committing to the full project.
Chompers can also provide the design as a standalone service. You are not required to purchase the full gym build, wall system or materials from Chompers after completing the design package.
If you continue with Chompers, the design can move into engineering, manufacturing, logistics and installation supervision as part of a full commercial climbing gym project.

Plan Your Climbing Gym Before You Build
A commercial climbing gym should not start with a wall quote. It should start with a clear design.
The early design stage determines how much climbing surface can fit, what disciplines the facility can support, how customers will move through the space, where matting needs to go, what equipment is required and whether the project budget is realistic.
The Chompers Commercial Climbing Gym Design Service is built for clients who need this clarity before committing to a full build. It is especially useful for new gym founders, commercial gym owners, architects, developers, schools, universities and recreation providers who need a climbing-specific design based on their real site conditions.
The service includes a basic layout, 3D visualisation, climbing wall design, matting layout, equipment list and early project cost estimate. These outputs help you assess whether the space can support a commercially viable climbing facility and what the major project requirements may be.
The design process is practical rather than purely visual. It considers climbing disciplines, wall placement, matting, circulation, customer experience, training areas, route-setting utility and budget. A good climbing gym design should look strong, but it also needs to function well once the facility opens.
The service includes up to three revisions and typically takes approximately one month to complete. If you proceed with Chompers for the full build, the design fee is credited toward the project. If you only need design support, Chompers can provide the design as a standalone service.
