12 Days of Giveaways: ARC

Happy December 4th! We are very excited that the holidays are right around the corner and we are EXTRA excited for the 12 Days of Giveaways! We partnered with 14 local businesses to bring you some pretty amazing prizes. Today we are giving away two 1-month passes for ARC. We’ll be announcing all of the winners each day on our Facebook page and through our email newsletter.

What is the story behind ARC? 

ARC was a long time in the making before it was finally brought to life. The idea was born in within the walls of the Laurentian Bouldering Room where Allan, Joe and Andrew all decided that Sudbury was in need of a bigger climbing facility. A couple climbing trips, and a few years later, the hunt started for the perfect building. The guys finally found this old mechanic shop on Old Burwash Rd. and the rest is history. ARC opened its doors officially to yogis and climbers in November 2014!

What types of classes do you offer and are there classes for all skill levels?

We offer classes in both yoga and climbing, for all ages and abilities! On the yoga side of things we offer everything from Power Flow, to Yoga Fundamentals, Wellness workshops, as well as Kids, Prenatal, and Parent and Baby yoga classes. In the climbing gym we offer Youth Rec Climbing classes, Intro to Climb courses to teach you how to belay, technique classes if you want to work on your skills, or you can just drop-in and try climbing whenever we’re open!

Do you have any upcoming events at ARC?

I feel like we always have something in the works at ARC – we are trying to create that community vibe that brings in new members, as well as keeping our current members entertained (and on their toes). In December we have Holiday Camp for Kids and a Holiday Potluck for the ARC community. We offer Student Night’s monthly, Ladies Night’s every couple months, climbing competitions, and yoga workshops. Keep your eyes peeled for January when we launch our 30 day yoga challenge, as well as movie nights!
