How we got here

My name is Evan and in February of 2020 I opened Blocworks with my Wife and business partner, Mariah. I worked in the outdoor industry for over 10 years with a brief hiatus working as an Exercise Physiologist in Cardiac Rehab at the Oklahoma Heart Hospital. Mariah has experience in small business leadership, opening and operating two swim schools; Four Season Swimming and most recently Oklahoma Swim Academy. Needless to say, I had just enough passion and she had all the skill sets required to venture into the great unknown. During my time away from the industry I felt the relentless call to open a gym hyper focused on two crucial ingredients of a great climbing gym that are often neglected: routesetting & community. Since opening, our team has grown to include leadership and employees that share in our vision to change the world through climbing – no matter how small our role may be. After opening, we also started our family journey and now have two children Willow and Jude. We are lifelong climbers spending as many vacations as we can sleeping under the stars teaching our kids, and reminding ourselves, the value of adventure and community. We think you will feel that when you walk through the doors of Blocworks! We are so excited to serve you.
