Life Time Burr Ridge is a large athletic club on Burr Ridge Parkway, just off the I-55 and I-294 interchange. Alongside its pools, courts and studios it has an indoor rock wall that Life Time gives as 30 feet high, offering bouldering over mats as well as roped climbing. Ropes are run on partner belays or auto-belays, depending on the club, and an instructor is on hand during open hours to help and to belay.
The wall is staffed only in its Rock Wall hours, on Tuesday to Thursday evenings and Saturday late mornings, and no booking is needed. It is open to members and their guests, and non-members can buy a $50 day pass that covers the whole club for the day. Memberships start at $239 a month and run month to month. Harnesses and ropes are provided, and trainers are fine if you have no climbing shoes.
Children aged five and over on a junior membership can climb in open hours while a parent stays in the club, once a parent or guardian has signed Life Time's climbing waiver. Instructors run Rock Climbing classes for ages 5 to 11 on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and at weekends, and the club hosts climbing birthday parties.
Membership also covers a large workout floor, yoga, Pilates, cycle and dance classes, indoor and outdoor pools with water slides, basketball and pickleball courts, a sauna, steam rooms and whirlpools, LifeSpa, the LifeCafe and a work lounge, plus the nearby Burr Ridge Sport and Racquet club with its tennis courts.
