Forget the traditional gym: the most complete, fun and transformative sport is not practiced with running shoes or a mat. It's called climbing and it's revolutionizing the way we take care of ourselves. Sport, mental health, community and lifestyle... all in one. The perfect place to discover it? Arkose Madrid, with two urban climbing gyms that are conquering those who are looking for much more than physical exercise.
Why should you try climbing (now)?
Climbing is much more than just strength. It tones, streamlines and improves flexibility. It trains the core, activates arms and legs at the same time, and most importantly, it connects body and mind in an intense but addictive way. It's mindfulness in motion, ideal for reducing stress and increasing concentration. In addition, as it is a social and non-competitive activity, it creates community and improves self-esteem.
Arkose: the new urban temple of active wellness
With two centers in Madrid, Arkose Cuatro Caminos (1,000 m²) and Arkose Carabanchel (1,500 m²), this French company has reinvented the concept of climbing gyms. More than just sports spaces, they are authentic creative hubs where climbing of all levels is combined with children's areas, specific training, and a welcoming atmosphere with an eco-canteen, clothing store and coworking. Everything is made with sustainable materials and a design that invites you to stay.
Arkose Cuatro Caminos: in the heart of Madrid, open since May 2023, it is the meeting point for urbanites looking for a different routine.
Arkose Carabanchel: located in the cultural heart of the new District 11, it opened its doors in September and is already a well-known secret among those who are committed to sport with soul.
Both centers are open from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m., ideal for those who want to start the day with energy or end the day with a shot of endorphins.
A 360º experience that goes beyond sport
After climbing, the ritual continues: a healthy brunch, vermouth with friends or simply relaxing in an aesthetically pleasing environment. Because at Arkose it's not just about climbing higher, it's about living better. And yes, with a single fee, you can access both spaces.
