Gravity Bear Climbing Gym in Tulsa is an awesome spot. The gym has a great vibe, the routes are well set, and there’s something for every skill level whether you’re brand new or have been climbing for a while. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, always willing to help or give tips, and the community there makes it even better. It’s a fun, motivating place to work out and challenge yourself. Highly recommend checking it out if you’re into climbing or want to try something new.

Great small locally owned gym. Setting gave a variety of difficulty for climbers of all levels (they also set twice a week if i remember correctly), and use a circuit grading system which is always fun to see. The owner was exceptionally personable and fun to talk to, he gave amazing recommendations in the area for out of towners like us as well as just general conversation. Would recommend Gravity Bear in a heartbeat if you're ever in the area, even if you've never climbed before. Also, can't forget to mention Hamilton, such a friendly chalk ball of a dog, loved him.

When I heard this gym was opening, I was stoked to try it out. It was my first time to Tulsa and drove over two hours from NW Arkansas during their Free First Friday climb sessions. This place absolutely exceeded my expectations. The building was incredible and clean with large open garage doors to let in light and air (the breezy was a paid actor while climbing hard). The sets were mesmerizing and so fun to climb. What sets this place apart though was the staff and the people climbing there. We had the pleasure of getting to talk & climb with the owner, Parker, for a bit and you could just feel his passion for the community and the gym. He also recommended us some places to go eat after a long session since I’d never been to Tulsa before. Quite literally 11 star customer service from this guy! ⭐️ If you’re looking for a reason to check out this gym, I’ll give you five. 1.) Incredible atmosphere 2.) Lovely people 3.) Super sick climbs 4.) Awesome lounge areas even if you don’t want to climb 5.) Hamilton (the manager 🐕). Hope to see you there someday 🫡 happy sending 🧗‍♀️

I own, manage, and co-lead route-setting at my own bouldering gym and I lived in a van so I’ve been in my share of gyms over the years. This place is something special. It’s hard to even say place because of what I know it already is and what it will be. It’s a community. It’s a third space. This place will change people’s lives. We drove 4 hours in one night just to check out this place. You can feel the intention Parker put into this place. Down to every detail like the sticker trash can. Tulsa is lucky to get a space like this. I hope you’ll read this review and go. Even if you’ve never tried climbing before. Because I know you’ll have a blast here regardless. And you’ll leave feeling better than when you came.

I’ve been to a lot of climbing gyms, and this one by far is the best. Thoughtfully and intentionally designed, intention to detail, the wall features and holds are incredible, and the staff/environment are unmatched. 5 stars isn’t enough for this place and its community!
