Community

We are honored to serve this community, and we strive to make VITAL an accessible and welcoming place for everyone. Here are a few of the things we are doing in pursuit of this vision.

VITAL VOLUNTEERS

We believe that every person can be a powerful force for good in the world. That is why we pay all of our employees, from managers to crew, to volunteer their time for local non-profits every month. If you would like awareness brought to your organization, please let us know by emailing katesparks@vitalclimbinggym.com so we can share your goals with our staff.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT

Our goal is to be priced affordably, but we understand that not everyone can afford the gym. This is why we created a financial support program! Every month we contribute funds to this program so those who are facing financial limitations can still experience VITAL. This program can be used to access memberships, youth climbing competitions & teams, and clinics & workshops.

You know your circumstance best, and it is not our position to judge your needs. For this reason, the program is self-screened and disbursed on a first-come first-served basis. If you or someone you know would be a good fit, please click here to apply.

GROUP PARTNERS

We are excited to support mission-driven groups who want to use the gym. We can help support and coordinate a single event or recurring meetup, as well as offer a space and discounted access to the gym for groups during the event. This is a great way to use the gym in an affordable way with the support of a group you already belong to.

DONATIONS TO YOUR CAUSE

If you are looking for membership donations for a charitable cause, then please reach out to katesparks@vitalclimbinggym.com. We have supported many organizations over the years, and we’d love to learn about yours. Most commonly, we donate memberships and day passes, which your charity can use for fundraising events.

A WELCOMING PLACE

Our mission is to create places that people love—and it would be hard to love a place if you did not feel welcome and comfortable there. That is why we ensure that our team is trained on what they can do to make the gym an inclusive environment. Our members are also asked to adhere to a code of conduct to help ensure a healthy culture. Fitness can be intimidating, and we want to do our best to support, uplift, and welcome you here!

CODE OF CONDUCT

• Be courteous in your interactions.

• Be slow to judge one another - start with assuming good intentions.

• Be sensitive to the impact of your actions, even if the impact is unintentional.

• Respect one another's physical and emotional boundaries. For example, ask permission before giving a spot or providing beta.

• Language that harasses, intimidates, demeans, or mocks another person is unacceptable.

• Be respectful of one another regardless of age, race, ethnicity, citizenship, religion, marital status, ability, sex, gender, sexual orientation, or any other status.
