Climbing is always so much fun with a buddy 🤝 and maybe a little tea, too* 🧗‍♂️🫖☕️🗣️👂👀🍿🔥🤫🧗‍♂️

*tea not included, that’s on you 😉

Since 2026 is ALREADY more than halfway through🤯, we wanted to pause for a moment to take stock of what our beloved and historic gym at Turner Hall accomplished last year.

In 2025, the climbing gym welcomed over 6000 visitors! That’s insane. We can only assume 2026 will be even more. We also hosted 55 dry tool competitors and we KNOW that number is about to go way up (hint: keep a lookout for an exciting announcement regarding our next dry tool comp) 👀🧗‍♀️

And that’s just on the climbing side! In 2025 Turner Hall Gymnastics welcomed over 300 participants, from tiny tots to adults, a whopping 32% increase. We also began offering private instruction and expanded capacity for birthday parties 🎉🥳

Thank you to all the community members and Turners members who visit and support the gym every day. You are what makes this Impact Report so, well, impactful! 🙏❤️

Daily horoscope: there are climbing walls, bouldering walls, and two weight rooms in your near future. And don’t be surprised if you also meet a new friend, learn a new skill, or relax in ways you haven’t in a while. Dip your toe or jump all in, however you get here, just remember…

Turners Gym is open M-F 5PM-9PM and Sat/Sun 9AM-5PM 🙂

Did you know that in addition to rad climbing walls, Turner Hall Climbing Gym also has multiple bouldering walls??

Bouldering is a great introduction to climbing, since it doesn’t require a belay partner or ropes and a harness to get going. The walls are shorter, usually 10-15 ft, with very thick mats for protection, but the routes still offer loads of fun challenges, and provide a fantastic opportunity to build technique and strength. If you love quick problem-solving and working your grip strength at the same time, bouldering is for you!

Every new climber (and all you experienced one’s too!) gets an orientation to bouldering as soon as you walk into the gym. We give you all the tools you need to be as safe as possible, show you how to read and follow a route, provide the best bouldering etiquette so everyone can have a safe and happy climb, and last but not least, we’ll show you how to exit (and fall!) from a route.

Don’t sleep on bouldering at Turners Climbing Gym. But if you do take a quick cat nap on one of the cushioned bouldering mats just make sure you’re not snoozin under another climber 😻

We’re hiring! Come join our team in Milwaukee Turners’ historic gym where we welcome the rock climbers, gymnasts, weight lifters and fitness enthusiasts alike. Our staff are the face of the gym and provide fun, friendly, and safe experiences for gym users and community members.

This is a part-time position and rock climbing experience is a plus BUT not necessary to apply. We’ll train you!
