What To Expect

Should you rent or purchase the property?

One of the biggest early decisions we face when developing a gym project is whether to lease or buy the building. It’s not just a financial question; it shapes your control of the project, your capital stack, your long-term stability, and your ability to go from an initial idea to open doors. In this webinar, we’ll walk you through how to evaluate leasing versus buying for climbing-focused projects, including how each option affects risk, expansion, fundraising, and the overall ecosystem you’re trying to build.

Hosted by Chris Ryan of Chris Ryan Studio.

This session is a great fit for anyone planning or dreaming about a new climbing gym location.
