What is BKBX?
BKBX is a new training concept created by Brooklyn Boulders. Brooklyn Boulders first opened in 2009 with a mission to create a community of climbers in New York when there weren't many options for climbing in the city. Since then they have succeeded in fostering a welcoming community that supports one another as they climb towards their goals both in and out of the gym. They have recently expanded to the Boston area with a location in Somerville and a BKBX location in Allston!
BKBX is a one-of-a-kind fitness facility that combines elements of adventure sports with the latest in fitness and technology. Smart training, data-driven classes, and state of the art recovery amenities, help members achieve their fitness goals so they are prepared for any adventure. BKBX in Allston specializes in their HIIT based workout classes. These classes consist of such a variety of activities, you’ll get a great balanced workout while never feeling bored! Some of these activities include jumping, speed training, obstacle course racing, climbing, strength work, and yoga.
