When I said "gym" I meant rock climbing gym, but they do have some weight lifting and cardio stuff there. The guy that invited me is quite a bit heavier than me. I'm about 15lbs heavier than I want to be, and he could probably lose 50-60lbs. He climbs way better than me. Weight is an issue, and he and actually has a personal trainer who is focusing on his weight and diet, but just being a little overweight is no reason you can't climb. I've seen some a few "fat" people there doing wall climbing. Climbing exerts a lot of energy and you will burn calories doing it, while building muscle. You can pick the easy routes and go up and down them over and over.
