Ruth Bonneville / Free Press BIZ - made in mb - Shapes Pembina Photo of a an instructor checking out the ropes at their new climbing wall. Story: One of the key points in the article is that Shapes was started in Winnipeg and is a Winnipeg-only chain. Richardson is about to launch a social media campaign highlighting other Winnipeg businesses in our city that people might not realize are local. Shapes' Pembina location underwent a multi-million-dollar renovation that was completed in March 2020. New features at the gym include climbing wall, the Queenax contraption (basically monkey bars for adults), the HIIT room. This is for my May 2 'Made in Manitoba' article.
