DJ holds a bachelors degree in Kinesiology and Exercise Science from K-state. He is ACSM-CPT certified and is currently working on bringing fitness classes to Bliss.
Check out his exercise board in our training room upstairs for a fun new weekly workout and be on the lookout for his #Wednesdayworkout posts every week!
DJ's favorite climbing movement is a dyno and he started climbing over 4 years ago.
When he isn't climbing or working out you might find him practicing his parkour moves around town!
Staff was so thorough, informative, helpful and friendly. I met some great people and kids! One mother was there with her young ADHD daughter and I realized how climbing can help you focus, accomplish goals and gain confidence. Wished we had this in Northern Iowa! With this being my sons first climb we will be hard pressed to find ANYTHING that can compare to Bliss! Thank you!
I found out about bliss in July and been eagerly waiting its opening. I took my son there and we climbed for two hours. I felt like I was a regular there as everyone was helpful and willing to answer any question I had, no matter how simple. Between the bouldering wall and the auto-belay we had a ton of fun. There is only 4 auto-belays so can't wait to learn how to belay so my son could climb a lot more routes, and find a buddy to belay me.
This is an amazing place to climb and get a great workout. Staff were friendly and helpful. My son and I had a blast, we will be back!
