about

The guy who started Nosotros only climbed 3 times before opening the gym. What does that mean for you? Anyone can be a climber.

Nosotros means we because people matter.

Some have said that Nosotros saved their life. How do you help someone with a bad addiction? By learning their name, asking questions, and making introductions. When we do this, it replaces unhealthy friends with healthy friends. Nosotros is making a difference and we’re having fun while we do it. We’re relational because people thrive on good relationships. We invest in customers and they talk to each other. Whether you’re a first-timer or a climbing vet, you belong here.

Vision

We will create the most relationally meaningful, logistically simple gym.
