…And when we say party, we mean PARTYYY!
This year on Friday 21st August from 6pm, not only will we have
- a special one-week only novelty boulder set,
- extra Bouldering Beginners Social classes,
- a new round of Ashtanga Yoga for Beginners starting,
- and your favourite $20 Pizza + Pint deal…
BUT we’re linking up with Arna to bring you First Movement – a live violin x DJ collab featuring bass house, EDM, and dance classics mixed by the boss man Sefton.
You may recognise Arna from her EPIC performance with Six60 and Synthony at the Te Kaha / OneNZ stadium opening show – but did you know she is also an Uprising regular and DIY home reno queen? So we’re absolutely stoked that she’s made the time in her busy schedule to create and perform First Movement, right here in the bouldering gym!
There is no additional charge/ticket to attend the gig, so if you are not climbing or yoga-ing, this is a FREE event! Plus, if you’re already an Uprising member, we’re giving you a +1 Buddy Pass which you can use from 5pm to get your buddy on the walls or yoga mats before the gig for free, yippee!
Here’s our suggestion of how to make the most of the night…
1. Bouldering Beginners Social Class / Ashtanga Beginners Class / Climb the novelty boulder set
If you’ve never climbed before or you’re new and wanting guidance, book into one of the two Bouldering Beginners Social classes, running from 6:00pm-7:00pm and 7:00pm-8:00pm. The class is included with standard gym entry ($24) or free if you’ve already got membership, includes shoe hire, and is the perfect way to make some new friends to party with later.

If the yoga studio is more your vibe, join Zo for the first session in a new round of our Ashtanga Beginners Course from 5:45pm-6:45pm! The dedicated Uprising Yoga studio is a peaceful oasis tucked upstairs at the back of the gym, and has multiple classes every day, led by experienced and friendly teachers. The full Ashtanga Beginners Course spans six weeks with each building on the last, but you may jump in at any point. As with all our regular classes, there is no additional charge beyond standard gym entry ($24 or free for members), and plenty of yoga mats available to use in the studio.

And if you’re just wanting to do your own thing, there will be a novelty boulder set up for one week only – this is the perfect time to give it a crack, before the walls get stripped for the final round of NIBs!
2. Pizza Break
Refuel with a $20 Pizza + Pint special at the Uprising Cafe… you’ll need the energy for dancing later.
3. PARTY TIME
From 8:00pm til 10:00pm, Arna and Sefton take over the gym with First Movement! The Comp wall and surrounding area will be closed for climbing during this time to allow ya’ll to really let loose with your wildest dance moves, but the Revo Vert & Slabs will remain open for anyone still wanting to climb. Please note that drinks and food are not allowed onto the mat area.
Save the date, and we’ll see you next Friday!
