The Boardroom represents a fresh start for Cultivate Climbing after Hurricane Helene forced the closure of their previous locations. Partnering with Hatchworks Coworking, The Boardroom introduces Asheville to its first-ever gym/coworking hybrid, a concept rapidly gaining popularity nationwide. A Triumph of Resilience and Innovation Occupying approximately 5,000 square feet adjacent to Hatchworks Coworking, The Boardroom is designed to meet the needs of climbers, wellness enthusiasts, and remote workers alike. With cutting-edge training equipment, holistic wellness amenities, and a prime downtown Asheville location, The Boardroom seamlessly integrates fitness, recovery, and productivity.

“After Hurricane Helene, we poured everything into making The Boardroom a reality,” says Devin Dehoff, co-owner of Cultivate Climbing. “It’s more than just a gym—it’s a testament to our resilience and the incredible support of our community. Having this space alongside Hatchworks creates a natural balance where people can focus on connection, fitness, and well-being.”

Features of The Boardroom include a variety of climbing equipment, yoga classes, and wellness amenities. Hatchworks' collaboration with Cultivate Climbing integrates physical and mental wellness into their member experience, offering multiple membership levels to choose from..

“This collaboration isn’t just about a gym or coworking space—it’s about building something that serves our community,” adds Erika Comeaux, co-owner of Hatchworks. “The Boardroom is a place where work, fitness, and connection come together in meaningful ways. It’s a space for people to feel their best, inside and out.”

Officially opened on January 1st, The Boardroom will celebrate with a ribbon cutting at 4:00 PM on Thursday, January 30th, hosted by the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce. The event will be followed by a grand opening celebration featuring light bites, beer, and wine.
