City ROCK

Welcome to CityROCK Johannesburg! The biggest indoor climbing gym in Africa, CityROCK Johannesburg isn’t just a regular gym – it’s a world-class facility complete with the best coffee in town. The gym boasts 2,000m² of high wall climbing; 124 top rope anchors; 9 automatic belay walls; 500m² of bouldering; a 300m² well stocked outdoor gear shop; a 100m² beautiful yoga studio; a cardio and strength training area; and a dedicated beginners’ climbing area for birthday parties, kids, and courses. If you have never rock climbed or seen the inside of a world class indoor climbing gym, CityROCK is definitely worth a visit! The aesthetic design and sheer height of the colourful walls (and let’s not forget the great coffee) will leave you amazed and eager to jump onto a route. Come and give it a try. All climbers and belayers must pass our compulsory Top Rope Belay test. New climbers are advised to book into our introduction course. Upon completion of the belay test you will receive an Orange Top Belay Test tag which must be displayed on your harness at all times. Note: We only use the Grigri belay device for all Top Rope climbing. If you are not familiar with the Grigri we do offer a 10 minute refresher. The video will take you through our Top Rope Belay Test. If you do not know what we are talking about in the video you will need to take our Introduction Course. Beginners and non-climbers are very welcome at all our classes. Come early to reserve a spot as space is limited per class. Pay your day pass or swipe your membership card at the front desk. Yoga mats can be rented for R30 a mat but its advised to bring your own or purchase an eco-friendly Prana mat in our gear shop as rental mats are limited. First timers will need to complete our yoga waiver. Each class will be slightly different to the next, depending on who is instructing, what music is played and what the instructor offers on the day. All classes suitable for all levels. Notify the instructor of injuries or medical conditions, if you are new or pregnant. We offer Flow, Vinyasa and Ashtanga yoga styles and classes are run in the evenings Monday to Thursday and Saturday and Sunday mornings. Flow A creative & playful movement sequence that purifies, tones and cleanses the body from the inside out. Vinyasa A flowing sequence of postures that synchronizes the breath with movement. This invigorating practice has a strong foundation in Ashtanga with a focus on core strength, breath awareness and key alignment principles. Ashtanga Ashtanga is a traditional flow yoga practice based on a set sequence of postures that combine stretching, strengthening, focusing and breathing to create a powerful yet graceful practice.
