🧑‍🍼 Parent’s Night Out

Hey Parents! We know it can be hard to find free time when you are busy watching over your little ones. If only you could just have a couple of hours all to yourself… What’s that you say?! Crux offers guided kids play allowing you to do just that!? Why yes, we do!

Parents Night is a 4 hour guided play session run by our professional and experienced staff. During these 4 hours your kids will climb, play games and do other fun activities in our kids room! Our classes are capped at 6 participants to ensure that your child gets plenty of attention and supervision. We will provide pizza and water for your kids for no additional charge!

October 3rd | Crux South

Join Lu for a 2-hour Kettlebell Power 101 workshop focused on building strength, power, and conditioning.

We’ll dial in technique through foundational movements like swings, cleans, jerks, and snatches, then use those building blocks to create efficient, balanced workouts that develop explosive strength and aerobic capacity.

Had to work in Katy for the week, so naturally I had to find a climbing gym.

Stopped by Crux Houston after work today!
peep the inside! 👀

The walls are way taller than I expected. Shoutout to Sunny for the warning about having to actually commit to those moves…

It’s always nice to have a little home gym away from home, and the vibes here are very much the same!

If you’re ever in the area, definitely stop by!

Also… peep that dramatic lighting. 👀✨
