Cutting-Edge Facilities and Amenities
“We have spent the last several years searching for the perfect space for our second location on Long Island to meet the needs of the growing climbing community. At the Samanea Mall we found a great partner and a great space. We were able to work with them as they reimagined the space and we were able to take over the entire previous food court, giving us a large open air footprint, floor to ceiling glass and great accessibility for our members and guests. It is a perfect fit and an exceptional facility! Lucky location #13!” said Lucas Kovalcik, Founder of The Gravity Vault and Rock
Climbing Franchising. The Gravity Vault Westbury is equipped with a 10m speed wall for competitive climbers and auto belays for those who are top rope belay certified. The dedicated training area includes adjustable Kilter and Tension 2 Boards, a Spray Wall, Campus Board, and Hangboard Station, ensuring climbers have access to top-notch training resources.
In addition to climbing, the gym offers a dedicated fitness room and stretching area with a full suite of cardio and Rogue strength training equipment. Families will enjoy the dedicated kids’ party wall and dual kids’ speed wall, while gaming enthusiasts can experience the unique to The Gravity Vault augmented reality climbing wall. With two party/function rooms, locker rooms with showers, and lounge areas equipped with free WiFi, The Gravity Vault ensures a comfortable and enjoyable visit for all.
“We are thrilled to open our second Long Island facility. The team has worked hard to try to build a complimentary facility to our location in Melville, NY. For example, the adjustable Kilter and Tension 2 boards in Westbury add to training options with the Moon board in Melville. Our Melville facility offers extensive roped climbing, whereas our Westbury facility offers enhanced bouldering terrain. These complimentary aspects provide our Long Island climbing community with a diversified and comprehensive array of options between our facilities,” said Mark Davidson, owner of The Gravity Vault Long Island locations, and Vice President of Sales and Development for The Gravity Vault Brand. When asked about his unique experience as a franchisee and a member of the Franchise Leadership team, Davidson had this to say. “As a multi location owner, I am living proof of the strength and success of The Gravity Vault franchising model. Building a climbing gym regardless if it is your first time or your 10th time, is a monumental task. The brand expertise and support throughout the entire process is invaluable. From construction know-how, to financing relationships, all the way to ongoing operational support, the Rock Climbing Franchising Team is second to none. I liked it so much I joined the company!”
