Vertically Inclined Rock Gym (VIRG) is one of North America's premiere climbing facilities. VIRG was created to bring the fantastic sport of rock climbing out of the fringes and make it more accessible to the general public. Vertically Inclined is one of Canada's most established climbing gyms having opened in 1996. The company has gone through many changes along the way and is striving to continuously improve. The building phase took about 6 months using thousands of pounds of steel, hundreds of sheets of plywood, 90 bags of cement and 10,000 T-nuts. There are currently well over 4000 handholds on the wall, 24 Topropes, 100 routes and 75 quick draws. We have achieved our physical goal of creating the nicest and most advanced climbing gym in Canada. We have taken the challenge and fitness benefits of rock climbing and removed the unpredictable nature of the mountain environment to offer a truly alternative form of active recreation. Come in and check us out!

We offer one-on-one fitness training and couples training (as our scheduling permits), along with whole foods/Paleo nutrition consulting. We work with clients who are new to exercising or the seasoned gym-goer who wants some variety in their fitness regimen. Our clients range in age from 21 to 80 plus. Many of our clients are Baby Boomers. We work with clients who train from home or clients who have gym memberships. We don’t fitness train clients offsite - all clients must come to our private, licensed and insured studio. We both have 4 decades of experience in weight/resistance and functional training. We are both certified A.I.S. Practitioners, which is a form of bodywork that releases tight muscles and fascial tissue. Michelle is also an Exercise Strength Specialist for hip and knee joint replacement clients and is also a Cancer Exercise Specialist for cancer patients and cancer survivors. Many of our clients have been working with us for 5 years and longer!
