Company
Brewer Fitness was the innovation of cousins Jeff & Conant Brewer who launched the company in 1990. Today we maintain that same passion about our work and commitment to our original designs and philosophy.
We keep things simple, focus on the training, and hope our customers appreciate thoughtful craftsmanship that results in fun, interesting and quality equipment.
We specialize in a mix of creative climbing structures for all types of customers. Along the way, we’ve been able to pioneer many training and climbing innovations and have single handedly opened up climbing as a mainstream fitness tool – a category we call Vertical Movement.
We have product in 41+ countries inside training facilities and homes of every type. From the most demanding rehab environments to a quiet training studio to a noisy high school weight room, we thrive in offering unique training options.
Although adults remain our core audience, kids and seniors have become some of our most enthusiastic customers. We love that vertical movement engages all ages and abilities.

Our Staff
Our responsive staff can handle most questions about service or sales so you won’t have to wait for a call back and we always enjoy meeting new customers; many of whom have become friends. We build everything in house and we’re always open to custom requests if something in our existing product line may not work for you.
