This Denver climbing gym owner needs help keeping the lights on, because when kids are 'problem-solving in this space, they're problem-solving on their tests.'
For the past six years, Aman Anderson has made his way toin the Globeville neighborhood. The facility sits adjacent to Interstate 25 in a warehouse that looks — at least from the outside — like many others in the area.
But that dream is on the brink of collapse as economic strains, combined with a devastating car crash, have forced Anderson to fundraise in order to pay back rent for November and December to prevent Beast Fingers, located at 5280 Broadway, from closing its doors in the new year. Anderson has since switched the model of the gym to selling $100-per-month memberships targeted at adults — who require less physical activity and supervision on his part — in order to get much-needed time to focus on physical therapy and healing completely from the crash without having to close the gym doors. Kids are still welcome, but he’s now asking parents to be present with them.
By that time, Anderson had moved to Colorado, and he thought Globeville could benefit from a space like the one he envisioned. According to the, Globeville is 68 percent Hispanic, and the average household income in the neighborhood is about half of Denver’s average household income.
