June 2017 Cover Story Preview: Brooklyn Boulders – Building Community One Climb at a Time
Posted: June 6, 2017 in Other News
Brooklyn Boulders
It’s a sport that has been around for years, and in 2020, it will make its debut in the Olympic Games, to be held in Tokyo. Coinciding with the sport’s growth, facilities dedicated to the discipline are entering the mainstream instead of being relegated to an empty, unused corner of a multipurpose club. Among the leaders in this segment is this month’s Club Insider Cover Story Subject, Brooklyn Boulders.
“Brooklyn is where it all began in 2009, when we opened our doors in the old Daily News Garage. To us, Brooklyn is more than just a city; it’s a state of mind. It’s about the creative clash of cultures that creates a diverse community, filled with passion and the drive to make things happen.”
Those words appear on the website of Brooklyn Boulders (BKB), and they perfectly sum up the mantra that drives Jeremy Balboni, Co-Founder and CEO, and Lance Pinn, Co-Founder and President, of BKB. For them, it is more than providing a box with walls to climb. Of course, that exists and drives business, but BKB is much more than that with their innovative co-working spaces, cross-utilized event spaces, extensive youth programs and community outreach with the BKB Foundation.
Currently, with four locations in New York (2), Boston and Chicago, as well as multiple new locations on the horizon, BKB is at the forefront of this growing sport. But, beyond that, they are building community one climb at a time!
