We started Gymspace because we saw firsthand how disjointed gym operations were. We're building a unified system for the desk, the floor, and every location you run.
Founder
Ben started climbing in 2006 and has been hooked on the sport ever since. He spent more than a decade volunteering at the Bouldering Gardens, seeing the daily needs of climbing gyms from the inside. After moving into software engineering, he worked in telecommunications and then RAD at Raytheon. Gymspace started when he saw that gym operators needed a more modern system, then teamed up with his friend Evan to build it.
Founder
Evan likes infrastructure that holds up under real load and still feels simple to the person using it. That is the standard he holds Gymspace to: a platform gym operators can lean on every day. He worked as a software engineer at Amazon, earned a master's in computer science from CU Boulder researching distributed and networked systems, and has always loved building startups. When he saw the real problems with the software gyms were stuck using, he knew it was the kind of thing he and his longtime friend had to build.
We aren't just shipping software; we're building partnerships with the gyms that trust us. Our core philosophy is to listen directly to the people actually running the desk and managing the business.
By understanding your daily friction points, we translate your exact needs into meaningful features that save you time and create tangible value for your operation.
