Who we are

New Heights Climbing & Fitness is all that, and so much more. With top rope and bouldering, we’re leading Central Wisconsin. Memberships can be purchased monthly and annually, with our without gear, and so can day passes.

We are an all ages facility, with a dedicated kids area that comes complete with party rooms available for rent. Families have a place to be active and celebrate together at New Heights.

We are building a community. Our facility will not only feature top notch climbing experiences, but also a coworking space that also serves as a lounge where we’ve got a touchless coffee bar, vending machines, and games. The search for a wellness focused hang space is over.

Fitness? We’ve got that covered with a 24 hour fitness facility that has a separate entrance. The gym will be focused on all around physical fitness with an emphasis on outdoor related swell.

It gets better. There’s a SAUNA. After your workout, be it in the climbing or the fitness gym (or maybe neither!) you can relax your body and mind in our commercial dry sauna. A flat rate membership fee for unlimited sauna all month? Say less.

The pro shop has everything you need to expand your climbing toolkit. Gearheads rejoice!

New Heights is a member, too

We care about the environment, as well as industry standards and practices for climbing gyms world wide. That’s why we’re dual members of the CWA and Access Fund. Click below to learn about the Access Fund.

With over 30 years combined experience climbing, Teah Koval and Steve Arnold choose adventure whenever possible. The founding of New Heights Climbing & Fitness was a no-brainer, and a long time dream in the making. The vision to bring the spirit of climbing to Wausau, WI isn’t just about fitness. It’s about problem-solving, ambition, tenacity, and most of all, sheer enjoyment.
