ROKC Climbing, Yoga, and Fitness Gym

Fantastic experience: ROKC is wonderful! I am not a professional climber by any means, but anytime I am home for breaks I buy a punch pass and come at least once a week. The gym is clean, the staff and people are very friendly and helpful, and my favorite part is yoga with Cole! He is a wonderful yoga instructor and he soothed my anxieties about practicing in front of people. He somehow knows exactly what mantra I need that day and he makes sure to come around to each of us during class to ensure we are getting the most out of our stretches. He is a wonderful instructor and person and I so look forward to my visits to ROKC and classes with Cole!

Fantastic experience: ROKC North is great! The gym has a great mix of beginner and advanced routes, as well as a variety of fitness classes. Yoga with Cole, specifically, is fantastic. I've done yoga for years, and I've never felt more seen by an instructor. Cole does such a great job of reminding us of our value as humans while simultaneously providing personalized adjustments. I leave his classes feeling grateful and in tune with myself.

Fantastic experience: I travel for work and climb at lot of different gyms, and this is by far the best gym I've been to in Missouri. Great boulder wall with lots of interesting problems... whatever you want to work on, there's probably a boulder that emphasizes that. And there are dozens of auto belay routes that are challenging , creative, work lots of different skills, etc... like you're climbing on small holds one minute, then you're hugging the wall because there are no handholds, then you have to smear your way up a chimney for a bit etc. The route setting in this gym is so good.

Fantastic experience: I love ROKC North. I have been coming here for more than 6 months now and it is my favorite ROKC location! The staff is friendly, the routes are great, and the classes offered are now part of my weekly routine. I started going to Thursday night’s Yin yoga with Cole about 2 months ago and have loved incorporating this into my active recovery days. The restorative yoga is challenging but has lasting benefits. I struggle with hip pain when I exercise, and Cole’s yoga has helped relieve the pain so much! I have also been going to Saturday ROKC Fit with Cole and I love the challenging workout! The first class, I have not sweat that much in a long time! It’s a great mix of strength and cardio. I love the way Cole pushes us by changing the exercises up just a bit on the last couple sets to challenge us even further. I am also grateful for the focus on recovery after the class. Cole always leaves 8-10 minutes for intense stretching. Myself and partner are now members of ROKC and I anticipate us continuing to come here for a long time! The only thing I would want different is more class options!

Fantastic experience: My 5/5 star review is for the yoga classes with Cole! Specifically I am loving the yin yoga class on Thursday nights. His instruction is clear and relaxing, and I come away from the class feeling clear-headed and taller. He gives great feedback and instruction for beginner and advanced participants, always looking to make sure everyone is getting the benefit of the postures at every level. Absolutely recommend!
