About
Gravity Worx

Melbourne’s community climbing gym — run by climbers, for climbers.

Since 2016

Our
Story

Melissa and Alex, owners of Gravity Worx
New Owners · May 2026
Melissa & Alex

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.

Founded · December 2016
Glen Buchannan

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.

What We Stand For

Our
Values

🤝
Community First
Since opening we have set new routes weekly almost without fail, ensuring there is always something new and interesting for our climbers. We love our community and invest in it every single week.
🧗
All Disciplines
Our bouldering section completed in 2021 and our speed wall built to IFSC specifications means Gravity Worx has all three Olympic disciplines: Lead, Speed, and Bouldering — all under one roof.
🧠
By Climbers, For Climbers
Every decision at Gravity Worx is made by people who climb. We understand what matters because we live it ourselves.
🌿
Eco-Friendly
From day one we have been and strive to be an environmentally friendly business. Our waiver forms are electronic, we reduce paper use, our flooring is recycled rubber tiles, all our lights are eco-friendly and our walls were made locally.
