A Climbing Gym App with Online Waivers, Check-In and Route Setting, Built by AI

Mythex lets a climbing or bouldering gym build its own software: a website that walks first-timers through their visit, waivers signed at booking and found by name at the desk, memberships and punch cards on one record, induction slots and a route-setting rotation that blocks closed walls. You describe it, try it in a live preview and publish.

Getting climbers onto the wall faster

The rush comes after work on weekdays and on rainy weekends, and that is when the queue at the desk builds. Every new climber needs a signed waiver and either an induction or proof of experience before climbing without supervision. Staff often check this by flicking through a folder. Revenue is spread across day passes, memberships, punch cards, courses, kids' clubs, shoe rental, the shop and the café. Behind the scenes, setters rotate wall sections and someone has to remember when the ropes, harnesses and auto-belays were last inspected.

What you can build for climbing gyms

Booking with the waiver built in

Make the waiver a step of the online booking, stored with the climber's record, so the desk checks a name instead of a folder. Cap sessions at peak times if the walls get crowded, limit induction slots to the instructors on shift, and book kids' parties as a room, a staff member and a section of wall together.

Build booking for our bouldering gym. Climbers book sessions with a cap per time slot and sign our waiver as part of booking, saved to their record. Induction slots are limited to 6 per instructor. Party bookings reserve the party room, one instructor and the kids' wall together.

Memberships with an injury freeze

Offer monthly, annual, off-peak and family memberships, with punch cards and day passes on the same record. Climbers get finger injuries, so an injury or travel freeze keeps them from cancelling outright. The desk sees access status as soon as a name is searched. Recurring fees are collected through a billing provider you connect yourself.

Add memberships: monthly, annual, off-peak and family, each with its own price. Members can freeze for injury or travel with a resume date. Punch cards with 10 entries sit on the same climber record and count down at check-in.

A climber portal for waivers, visits and sends

Climbers see their membership, remaining punch-card entries, waiver and induction status. Parents manage waivers and kids' club bookings for their children. If you want it, members log the problems they send, which keeps regulars motivated and shows setters which grades and styles get climbed and which new problems nobody tries.

Make a climber portal where members see their membership status, visits and punch-card entries left, plus their waiver and induction status. Parents can sign waivers and book kids' club for their children. Members can log climbs by wall, colour and grade.

Setting rotation and staff rota together

Rotate wall sections on a fixed schedule and publish it, because regulars plan visits around new problems. A wall closed for setting is blocked from bookings and classes. The staff rota covers desk, floor and instructor roles at every opening hour, and courses only get instructors with the right qualification.

Build a schedule for our gym with 8 wall sections reset on a 4-week rotation, published for members. Closed sections are blocked from classes. Add a staff rota with desk, floor and instructor roles and only let qualified instructors take courses.

Rental kit, holds and inspection dates

Track rental shoes and harnesses by size and condition, holds and volumes for setters, and shop stock separately, since one is sold and the other retired. Log inspection dates for ropes, harnesses and auto-belays and flag anything overdue, so checks stay on schedule and you have a record if someone asks.

Create an inventory app for our climbing gym. Track rental shoes by size and condition, harnesses, holds and volumes, and shop stock. Record inspection dates for ropes, harnesses and auto-belays and list anything overdue.

A website that takes the fear out of a first visit

First-timers worry about looking clueless. Walk them through the visit: sign the waiver online, what to wear, renting shoes, the induction. Put prices for day passes and memberships side by side with peak times, and give kids' clubs, parties and courses a page each. A 'newly set' section gives regulars a reason to check in every week.

Build a website for our climbing gym with a first-visit guide, opening hours and peak times, day pass and membership prices compared, pages for kids' club, parties and beginners' courses, and a 'new this week' section for freshly set problems.

A note on waivers and inductions

Mythex can build the waiver step, store the signed record with the date and the version of the wording, and show its status at check-in. It cannot tell you what the waiver should say or whether it holds up. Waiver wording, how long you keep signed copies, parental consent for minors and what counts as a valid induction vary by country and by insurer, so check the rules that apply where you operate and use the wording your adviser gives you.

Store which version of the waiver each climber signed
Record parent consent separately for minors
Keep belay checks as an in-person step

Put belay theory online, keep the practical in person

Knots, belay checks and gym etiquette can be an online course that climbers finish before their practical slot, with completion recorded on their record. Instructors then spend the session watching technique and correcting habits instead of explaining the basics. The practical assessment itself still happens on the wall.

Questions

Can climbers sign the waiver online before they arrive?

Yes. The waiver can be a step in booking or a standalone link, stored on the climber's record with the date. The wording and how long you keep it are for you to decide under the rules where you operate.

How fast is check-in at the desk?

Staff type a name and see waiver, induction and membership or punch-card status on one screen, then tap to check the climber in. Every check-in is logged, which also feeds the busy-hours chart.

Can we take payments for passes and memberships?

Yes, through a payment provider such as Stripe that you connect with the gym's own account. Mythex builds the checkout and the records; the provider handles the cards and recurring billing.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You describe how your gym works and Mythex builds it with a live preview. You can keep changing it by chatting, for example 'add an off-peak tier'.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The Free plan needs no credit card, gives daily credits and lets you publish. Pro is $25/month for a custom domain, code editing, export and more credits.

Can members have it as a phone app?

On Pro, Mythex turns the published app into Android and iPhone apps that open it, so members can book and log climbs from their home screen. Each Publish updates the phone apps too.
