They offer climbing & bouldering for everyone. Multiple walls for climbing, with numerous routes for bouldering & there’s trained staff to help you out at every opportunity.
Apart from their core offering of climbing & bouldering, they’ve recently started classes for aerial arts & yoga with expert instructors too. Held in their large & airy studio separate from the climbing wall, these classes last 90 minutes & 60 minutes respectively. Yoga is taught by Surbhi Sachdeva while aerial arts are taught by Dasha.
Contact
BoulderBox is located on the North East corner of the junction between Nelson Mandela Marg and Abdul Gaffar Khan marg in the heart of Vasant Kunj. Parking right next to the centre can get quite busy but there is plenty of space in the service lanes around. There is some construction of roads in the area so things might be a little tricky for the next few months. The centre is accessible via Delhi Metro with stations at R.K Puram, Munirka & Vasant Vihar (Magenta) and Chhatarpur (Yellow line), all located 15 minutes away.

People running the show
BoulderBox is run by some of the warmest & nicest people in the fitness community. Vrinda & Yadu Bhageria, were professionally trained as Graphic designers & Mathematicians respectively, before climbing found them. Drawing from their own experience as new climbers, they created & fostered a community that supports climbers of all skill levels. Apart from them, the team running the show consists of people from various backgrounds but with one thing that unites them, their love of climbing.
Hygiene & Cleanliness
Indoor climbing centres, like all workout spaces can get very sweaty & stinky but luckily, BoulderBox isn’t one of them. With frequent cleaning & a rare attention to detail, they’ve managed to maintain a space which has stayed clean despite all the activity that happens here.
Vibe & Community
The centre has a large, airy vibe with a lot of space. Spread across two floors, it doesn’t feel cramped, which is a feat in itself. You can tell that the people behind BoulderBox really care about their community as is evident by the cute library which has books for members, a cafe that serves healthy food & the resident dogs roaming around. It also seems like a fun place to hang out, where you can get access to one-off events like puppy & kitten yoga.
