BlocBox Training

A board gym under the railway

BlocBox Training is a small bouldering and training gym in arch 83 of Innsbruck's railway viaduct, the Viaduktbögen. Its climbing is on one 4 × 4 metre Grasshopper Grand Master board, whose angle can be set anywhere from 10° to 55°, with more than 15,000 problems in all grades on symmetrical holds, from jugs to crimps, slopers and pinches. Hangboards, a campus board, a pull-up bar, weights and yoga mats complete the training kit, and you can connect to the speaker to play your own music.

Booking

There's no staffed desk: you book a slot online, and the QR code emailed to you opens the door 15 minutes before it starts. Sessions run daily from 09:00 to midnight in half-hour steps. A single ticket costs €5 an hour with a two-hour minimum, and at most six climbers share each slot. Groups of up to ten can book the whole room for a private session, and it also hosts children's birthday parties and bachelor parties. Early Bird subscribers can climb every morning from 05:00 to 09:00. Tuesday and Thursday evenings, mostly from 18:00, are kept for the gym's regular events and can't be booked. Everyone climbing must sign the terms of use.
