Where we train

Boulder Union

174 Union St · New Bedford, MA

Every in-person session is held at Boulder Union Climbing & Fitness — a climbing gym unlike any other in the country. Bouldering walls rise inside the grand hall of a restored 1896 bank, under 39-foot coffered ceilings and towering arched windows.

It's a space that makes training feel like an occasion. The terrain is modern and competition-informed; the room around it is one of the most beautiful in American climbing.
