Climbing Indoors is great because you can do it when it's dark out, you can do it by yourself, because there's bouldering to do in gyms, generally, that doesn't require a partner. You could probably find somebody in the gym who's already there who'd be willing to belay you. The anchors are pre-setup, you've got routes that are setup and usually changed pretty often by the staff at the gyms. It is expensive, but if you do it often, it's definitely a great way to work out.
