Madison & Michael
Founders of The Lab

Michael and Madison are passionate about climbing and the community it creates. Together, they’ve founded The Lab as a space for climbers to connect, grow, and push their limits while fostering a sense of belonging and shared purpose.

Michael is a seasoned climber with over a decade of experience in the climbing industry. With a master’s degree in Organizational Leadership, he has dedicated his career to building communities rooted in trust and respect. Whether through his volunteer work as a local rescuer or his leadership at The Lab, he is committed to creating an environment where others feel valued, inspired, and encouraged to reach their potential.

Madison is a labor and delivery nurse whose strength lies in her ability to connect with people and create supportive environments. Her dedication to teamwork and her focus on meaningful connections has been instrumental in shaping The Lab’s culture. Madison believes in the importance of shared experiences and has worked to ensure that The Lab is a place where climbers can come together to celebrate their achievements and support one another through challenges.

For Michael and Madison, The Lab is more than just a gym—it’s their way of giving back to the community they love. Rooted in respect, passion, and connection, The Lab offers an opportunity for climbers to grow, thrive, and be part of something truly special.
