Our
Story
In May 2026 Gravity Worx passed into new hands — but not strangers’ hands. Melissa had spent four years working every role at the gym, from the front desk to route-setting, understanding the place inside and out. Alex had spent that same time building and leading a thriving outdoor climbing community through the gym, bringing dozens of new climbers into the sport.
When Glen decided it was time to step back, he chose Melissa and Alex because he knew they were the best people to keep Gravity Worx and its community in great hands. The culture, the standards, and the care that defined the gym from day one remain unchanged.
Same gym. Same community. Run by climbers who’ve been here all along.
Current Owners
Gravity Worx Indoor Climbing Gym first opened its doors on the 15th of December 2016. Founder Glen Buchannan had a clear vision: to provide climbers with a modern gym that would be run by climbers, for climbers.
Glen set out to introduce as many Melburnians as possible to the world of climbing — sharing his passion for the sport both indoors and outdoors. Under his stewardship, Gravity Worx grew from a lead and speed facility into a full three-discipline gym, completing its bouldering section in 2021 and adding an speed wall built to IFSC specifications.
Nearly a decade of proudly independent, community-first climbing — Glen built something genuinely special in Pascoe Vale.
