No, there's no study on home climbing gyms. (Here's the truth.)

Hi ,

Every skeptical parent asks the same fair question: “Is there actually any proof this works?”

So we went looking. Real studies. Peer-reviewed. And we’ll give you the straight answer — including the part most brands hide.

Read the evidence

Here’s the truth: no study has ever tested a home climbing gym specifically. We’ll never tell you it’s “clinically proven” — because it isn’t.

But the research around it is real, and it points one way:

  • Kids with the right active equipment at home move more — and that movement builds their motor skills. (4,092-child study, 2019.)
  • Climbing is shown to improve fitness, motor control, and strength. (18-trial review, 2023.)
  • The CDC lists climbing, monkey bars, and pull-ups by name as strength-building activities kids need.
  • Active indoor play burns 2–3× the energy of screen time.

The catch? It only works if your kids actually use it. Every day.

And ours do. From a mom in our community:

“The only thing we’ve ever given our children that’s gotten played with every day for three years.”

Outdoor play will always be best. But for the 90° days, the freezing days, and the rainy-for-a-week days — when it’s climbing or the couch — climbing wins.

That’s the case, laid out straight. We think it’s a strong one.
