Membership UPDATE

Membership updates:

We hope you've been enjoying the climbing here at Resistance. Thank you for your support by being a member with us.

With the cost of living inflating, causing the cost of running Resistance Climbing to increase in almost every way, we have made the difficult decision to raise our prices. This is the first price change for memberships in over two years and for Day and Concession Passes since opening in 2021. We are still committed to being affordable, providing a great bouldering experience, and continuing to grow our offering to our climbers. We remain the lowest priced bouldering gym in any city in Aotearoa.

As of the 20th of October our membership rates will be $22.00 per week.

Bank charges are one of our biggest overheads, so we are making two additional changes to keep our prices down. To avoid extra transactional charges, Memberships will now be charged fortnightly or monthly (your choice) rather than weekly, so by default your first membership charge on or after the 20th of October will be a fortnightly payment of $44.00 ($22.00 per week). We are also moving to charging via Bank Direct Debit rather than Credit or Debit Cards. If you wish to remain paying with these cards a +$0.50 transaction fee will be passed on. Prepaid membership users will not be affected until their next membership renewal.

Direct Debit has the advantage that if your card expires or is lost your membership will not be disrupted. Changing to Direct Debit can be easily done on our Membership Portalkand updating your billing method. If the link doesn't work, please follow these steps to create an account on our membership portal:

1. Set a password for your membership portal account. (Please do so by following the link then entering your email address which is connected to your membership, and NOT by going to SIGN UP. You already have an account connected to this email address by default)

2. Check your details are up to date and add your street address for billing purposes under ACCOUNT > UPDATE PROFILE

3. Select ACCOUNT, then UPDATE BILLING to add your Bank Direct Debit details

If you have any problems, please speak to staff and we can assist you with this process.

Members' benefits remain the same with 50% off shoe hire, 10% off retail purchases, 15% off climbing shoe purchases and after-hours access for members aged 18+.

The cost of rentals remains unaffected.

If you had a membership on 22/09/2025 and did NOT get an email regarding this change please reach out to staff to find our if your email address is incorrect in our system. A copy of our new membership contract can be found on our website. By continuing your membership beyond the 20th of October you have agreed to the terms of our new contract and the change in pricing.

If you have any questions please reach out to us at dunedinbouldering@gmail.com and we'd be more than happy to help. Thank you all for your understanding.
