From models to fitness enthusiasts, these are the rock climbing and bouldering gyms that influencers frequently visit
There are endless ways to keep active in the Philippines, from doing water sports to exploring nature. Embracing an adventurous spirit while maintaining your health can be even more fun with rock climbing and bouldering. In case you didn’t already know, rock climbing is the sport where you climb up and down natural rock formations or indoor climbing walls using gear like harnesses, ropes, and slings. Bouldering, on the other hand, is a style of climbing you do without such gear but close to the ground so you can safely land on the crash pad if you fall. Both are activities that are steadily growing more popular among adults for their wellness benefits, so if you’re looking to hop on the trend, then this list is for you. We’re including in this list the top trending indoor rock climbing and bouldering destinations that even influencers post about.
