# Family-Focused Climbing Gyms 'Clip n' Climb' Offers Mentally and Physically Stimulating Obstacles By Joey Haar | Published 2017-01-11 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clip-n-climb References: [timeout](http://www.timeout.com/singapore/kids/kid-friendly-high-element-obstacle-courses-in-singapore) & [clipnclimb](http://www.clipnclimb.com/) Climbing has been gaining popularity as a fitness activity among Millennials, but Clip n' Climb is a company that adds a bit of fun and wonder to the activity, making it appropriate for the whole family. Clip n' Climb is an experiential business that describes itself a cross between a climbing gym and a theme park, with elements that appeal to people of all ages. As opposed to typical climbing facilities, which tend to focus on the pure athleticism and fitness of climbing, Clip n' Climb treats each of its elements as a challenge for both body and mind. The playfully designed obstacles and walls take physical ability to scale, but they also require strategy and thought in order to successfully complete them. These obstacles range in difficulty, making the facility fun for everyone from preschool kids to adults. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Family-focused Climbing Gyms:** Create climbing gyms that are designed to be fun and appealing for the whole family, combining fitness with entertainment. - **Experiential Fitness:** Develop fitness facilities that offer unique and engaging experiences, incorporating elements of entertainment and challenge. - **Mindful Obstacle Courses:** Design obstacle courses that not only test physical strength and agility but also require strategy and critical thinking to overcome. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fitness and Recreation:** The fitness and recreation industry can capitalize on the growing demand for family-friendly climbing gyms that provide a mix of exercise and entertainment. - **Amusement Parks:** Amusement park operators can consider expanding their offerings by incorporating climbing elements that appeal to both children and adults, providing a new and exciting experience. - **Education and Training:** Educational institutions and training centers can integrate mindful obstacle courses into their programs to enhance problem-solving skills and promote critical thinking among participants. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Adventure-Based Fitness Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mount-fitness.md) - [Rock-Climbing Work Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hidden-climbing-gym.md) - [Hybrid Indoor Play Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indoor-play-space.md) - [Active Family Restaurant Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chuck-e-cheese-adventure-zone.md) - [Contemporary Playroom Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/randle-wall-climbing-handle.md) - [Fitness-Inspired Backyard Playsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/backyard-playsets.md) - [Family Fitness-Friendly Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/family-fitness.md) - [Elevated Leisure Habitats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elevated-leisure-habitat.md) - [Indoor Cycling Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smash-your-fitness.md)
