Since 2013 CBJ has published Gyms and Trends, the leading analysis of the latest developments in the climbing gym industry. The report is always powered by data on climbing gym growth as well as insights from climbing professionals on what’s going on inside those gyms.
This year we are going even deeper, with the goal of sharing more empirical data on the trends operators have been seeing and expecting, at their own gyms and around the industry.
If you operate or own a climbing gym, please take the survey by Sunday, October 19.
You’ll get free access to industry data, benefit from exclusive discounts/giveaways, and help lead the industry forward by sharing your observations.
We will be publishing the anonymized and aggregated results in our Gyms & Trends 2025 report, due to be released early in 2026 as usual.
PLEASE TAKE OUR GYMS & TRENDS SURVEY
We and our industry thank you for contributing!
Why should I take the survey? What do I get out of it?
1) You will have free access to the resulting report and analysis. You will be able to learn and benefit from the anonymized and aggregated data we collect.
2) You will be contributing to the development of our industry. As an industry, we need more meaningful data-driven insights about our operations and market. You can help drive that collective knowledge forward.
3) We’ve got an assortment of goodies lined up for you:
- $500 Kilter shopping spree for one lucky winner—each survey response* earns an entry into the random drawing.
- Free Featured Job ($75 value)—each survey response* earns one, and we will add it to your login for easy use. These credits can also be used for Press Releases.
- $50 discount off new Plus or Premium membership enrollment—you will get the discount code after completion.
* Each survey response can be for one or multiple facilities. If multiple, your response should be representative of all the included facilities. With gym chains, typically there is a range of sentiments/outlooks that could be grouped into cohorts with similar sentiments/outlooks. So that our analysis is as meaningful as possible, we ask you to complete the survey for each gym or cohort. You’ll earn another Free Featured Job and entry into the Kilter drawing each time you do!
