I'm home recovering from knee surgery and I'm ready to do some gym time. But one problem, is there a decent gym in Birmingham or close? I remember there was a fair size one when I was a kid. Is there one with bolted lines?

I'd send a message to a guy on here by the screen name bbrock, i read a post were he said he has a gym in Montgomery.

bbrock has a HOME gym...in his garage.

Alabama Outdoors in Homewood, AL has a bouldering and top rope set up. The University of alabama at Birmingham has a large wall if you know a student.

Your best bet is to get out to Moss Rock Preserve and do some light bouldering...if that's your thing.

OH OK, I went to high school in Montgomery and haven't been back since. First thing i though was "that is financial suicide!" (to have a gym in the gump) thanks for clearing that up. Note: most people don't refer to their garage wall as a "climbing gym" so you can see how i misunderstood.

I hear you.

I hate indoor climbing.
