The best rock climbing and bouldering gyms in Singapore

Fit Bloc currently has two outlets: Depot Heights and Kent Ridge. The latter is a firm favourite among bouldering enthusiasts, with three spacious bouldering sections and a high wall for top-rope and lead climbing. Routes here are generally beginner-friendly, making it accessible for newcomers, but seasoned climbers can still expect a challenge thanks to some steep overhangs. Beyond climbing, the Kent Ridge location also features a weights room, treadmills, saunas, and even a swimming pool – and entry passes grant access to all these facilities.

Single entry passes start from $28.

BFF Climb is known for offering some of the most competitive rates in the local climbing scene. Off-peak season passes are priced at $70.85 per month, granting access to all three outlets – Bendemeer, Our Tampines Hub, and yo:HA Commercial @ Tampines. The gym features an extensive grading system that ranges from zero to 14, with each level increasing in difficulty at a manageable pace. Climbers can expect a smooth progression through the grades without any sharp jumps in challenge – ideal for both beginners and those looking to level up gradually. 

Single entry passes start from $23.98.

We may not have many outdoor natural rock climbing places in Singapore, but the top out boulders at Boulder+’s Aperia Mall location come pretty close to the real deal. Aside from the unique arch centre wall, the gym also features a 60 degree spray wall that offers a greater variety of hold sizes and shapes, an endurance corner and shower facilities for post-climb. Boulder+ also opened another enormous 22,000-square-feet location at Chevrons, with a 70 degree roof, competition wall, exercise corner, and in-house café. 

Single entry passes start from $28.

If you’re planning to visit during peak hours after 6pm, check the live counter via the website to see the current number of pax in the gym.

You don’t need prior experience to scale the walls at Climb Central. The gym has five locations around Singapore, including Novena Square, Funan Mall, i12 Katong, Safra Choa Chu Kang, and Kallang Wave Mall.
