Since this is a beginner-friendly sport, all you need when it comes to gear are shoes. Specifically, not your classic gym shoes but special climbing shoes used to maximize your grip and pinpoint your holds. Apart from that, most people also use chalk in a bag and tape for their fingers.
Sounds pretty minimalistic, and it is, making this gym option the most enjoyable and popular among beginners. An added factor is that you can rent the gear, so you know what bouldering is like before you invest in the gear.
