BEGINNER

BEFORE GETTING ON YOUR FIRST BOULDER,
HERE'S A TASTE OF WHAT'S IN STORE FOR YOU.

Upon your arrival, our employees will explain to you in a few minutes the rules of the game as well as the safety instructions. Otherwise, you’ll be able to climb for as long as you want!

To climb, you will need sportswear (top is mandatory) and indoor shoes (or sandals). You will need your personal chalk bag. You will be able to buy the items you need on-site or on our online shop. Several options are available at all prices. You will be able to rent shoes on-site if needed.

Here’s the good news: The best training to become a successful climber is to climb. In the beginning, your biggest gains were probably in technique rather.

From a certain level, some climbers will want to follow additional training in order to climb harder, avoid injuries or optimize their physical condition. To this end, a wide variety of specific and general training equipment is available at the Shop: top quality block opening, Kilter board, Campus board, finger boards, Treadwall, training room, etc.

The strength of the core stabilizers (abdominals and their antagonists) and fingers is crucial in climbing. The majority of climbers will therefore choose to target them in their complementary training. Jogging, multi-joint exercise, and antagonist exercise will help prevent injury and make you a complete climber.

Bottom line: You don’t NEED to train. Climbing IS a workout in itself. However, if you want to work out, don’t worry, Bloc Shop has what you need! Check out our Coaching section if you need help!

YES! Bloc Shop offers boulders for all difficulty levels. There is something for everyone, from the very beginner to the very advanced climber.

Of course, your needs and those of national-level athletes are different. And whether it’s the elite athlete or your mom, everyone can benefit from better fitness and a bit of fun. The tools we offer at the Shop are the ones you’ll need to achieve these goals!

Of course, your choice of routes, as well as the frequency and quality of your training must be adapted to your level. Neat route setting, a few drops of sweat, and a little help from our experienced staff will take your climbing level to new heights. The skin of your fingers will be sensitive and your orange juice gallon will feel heavier the day after your workout, but isn’t that why you come climbing?

All the great climbers in competitions and climbing videos are normal people (well, most of them!). They are parents, they work, they go to school and they all started out like you. A little effort will get you far and getting in shape while having fun is extremely motivating and addictive. You’ve been warned!

Training, sport, leisure: a way of life.
Climbing has been growing rapidly in recent years. Long considered a mainstream sport in Europe, climbing has become increasingly popular in America. Bouldering is a climbing discipline practiced at a maximum height of 16 feet, above large mattresses and without the rope or hardware associated with rope climbing. The climber can then concentrate solely on his technique and movements, making the experience easier and more enjoyable for those who wish to learn how to climb. The climber can also practice specific, technical, or powerful movements at will and efficiently.

Bouldering improves endurance, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, and precision.

The Bloc Shop’s facilities will allow sports enthusiasts to practice the sport at many levels, from weekend activities to high-level sports.

Conclusion: Bloc is a social, fun, and a great fitness engine.

We’ve said it before: climbing is a great physical activity to challenge your mind and body. It’s a great way to relax after a hard day of work, spend time with friends or simply in a motivating environment. Everyone knows that being happy is good for your health. Plus, being around a group of happy and like-minded people can do so much more.

Most of us think that climbing is the best excuse to eat better, drink more water, and do more sports. You could find yourself breathing the fresh country air by climbing every weekend. And, one day, you might find yourself climbing boulders on the other side of the world. It happened to us, and we loved it!
