Stadium Coupure – Klimmuur

Climbing at a Ghent fitness club

Stadium Coupure is a large fitness club on the Coupure Links in Ghent, one of the Stadium group's clubs. Alongside a fitness floor full of Technogym cardio and strength machines, seven squash courts, a CrossTraining hall and a busy programme of live group classes, it has an indoor top-rope climbing wall for its members.

The club pitches its climbing at every level, from people who have never tried it to experienced climbers who want to refine their technique. If you are new to climbing, you can join one of the club's initiation classes, where its instructors teach you the basics so that you can then climb on your own, safely.

Membership

There are no day tickets for the wall. Climbing comes with Stadium's all-in membership, which also covers the fitness floor, squash and the group classes, and can be paid monthly, for three months or for a year. Students under 25 can join at a reduced rate if they show a valid student card.

The club opens from early morning until late in the evening on weekdays and from mid-morning until the early evening at weekends. The centre has changing rooms, toilets, a cafeteria and 42 parking spaces.
