CBJ Climbing Gym Market Report & Dashboard

CBJ Climbing Gym Market Analysis Tools

Since the inception of the climbing gym industry, perhaps the top question climbing gym developers have had to answer is: “Where do I build my gym?” The answer to this question can make or break a new climbing gym business, and searching for the answer has always required a combination of difficult-to-compile data and gut intuition.

CBJ’s annual Gyms & Trends report—which has been covering the economic context and key statistics around the development of new climbing gyms in North America since 2013—and CBJ’s industry-best Gym Map have been two of the core tools used by developers to evaluate markets. Business leaders of the climbing industry know they can rely on CBJ for market knowledge.

Leveraging CBJ’s proprietary Gym Map dataset, in combination with market data derived from publicly available data sources of the U.S. Census Bureau and CDC, CBJ now offers a powerful new market analysis toolset: the CBJ Climbing Gym Market Report and Dashboard. Previously, valuable tools like these ones were typically only available to the largest climbing businesses, and even those tools often relied on CBJ’s Gym Map dataset. Now these insights are available to all.
