At the end of 2023, about ten years after opening in Lincoln Heights, the Stronghold opened its second location in the heart of one of Los Angeles\u2019 iconic neighborhoods: Echo Park.<\/p>

Only 3.4 miles from Lincoln Heights, Echo Park was conceived as an extension of our bouldering walls. Members have access to both gyms which are, essentially, just down the road from one another.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Past: The Globe #3 Movie Theater & La Guadalupana Market<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The space began life in 1912 as Jensen\u2019s Theatorium, a movie theater. It was later renamed the Globe #3 Movie Theater, and would go through a number of name changes: Sunset Theatre, Hollyway Theatre, and finally Holly Theatre. In 1951, the theater was closed, and replaced with a branch of Citizen\u2019s Bank, which remained for more than 30 years.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

The bank was converted to La Guadalupana Market in the late 1980s.\u00a0 This iconic mural of Our Lady of Guadalupe that was painted on the back of the building by local artist David Monpiel dates to this era.\u00a0 La Guadalupana Market closed in 2018, and the building was vacant until The Stronghold arrived.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
