Brooklyn Uprising is built for people who want more from a neighborhood gym. Our monthly membership is $135/mo for unlimited access. Follow your usual strength routine, take a class, recover in the sauna, get ready for the rest of your day, and explore climbing at your own pace.

Come for the gym. Climbing is the bonus.
You do not need to arrive as a climber. Many great workouts at BK UP can start with weights, a class, or a recovery session. Climbing simply gives you another way to train—social, skill-based, and easy to explore at your own pace.
If you are comparing fitness options in DUMBO, BK UP offers a straightforward alternative to a traditional premium club: one neighborhood membership that brings together strength training, classes, recovery, workspace, and climbing.
