Awesome little gym! Great atmosphere, fun routes and lots of cool features. Campus board, good hang boards, a snack line! Lots of other training equipment.Only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the grades are quite soft. The problems are really good and as someone who typically climbs V6/7 on good days their hardest problems were the perfect projects for me. Though I think a V8-V10 climber would have a harder time finding a challenge.Definitely check it out either way! The problems are really interesting.

Despite the size of this place I got a good workout in!This location might not be as cool as the Williamsburg one in Brooklyn but the staff here are much more friendlier and nicer. Also this location felt way cleaner.Price point is reasonable! This location is interesting as you walk down to the front desk and bouldering area. The front door is like a rest area/lounge. They have some cool paintings.two restroom at this location.

Great people. A little tight, but it has very good climbs/routes. A tiny bit pricey for a one day, but good prices for a subscription.

I only went to this gym a few times during my membership however I enjoyed it very much! The staff were always very kind and welcoming. There certainly are more busy times of the day than others if you don't like big crowds. I did have high hopes to use the fitness equipment more but it was crowded when I came so I steered away. I think they do what they can with the space they have. I would like more fitness space in the future there. Worth a visit and a membership; the price is extremely reasonable and you can come and go at any time of day.

The only problem with Vital is that there’s not more Vital. Crowded at times, but even then it’s still a relaxed atmosphere. …

Wonderful place. I love the atmosphere here at vital, everybody is patient and courteous, willing to help out and give pointers if you're a beginner. It has a lounge area upstairs which includes a fridge and a microwave so that you can even warm up meals or work there if you work online. They change up the climbing routes on the walls every few weeks so that there is always something you to explore, definitely impossible to get bored here. Membership is $70 a month. It costs $20 to come here once, plus $2 for chalk bag rental and $5 for shoe rental.

If I’m being honest - the price is too steep for space utilization. For a gym at similar cost you get more gym equipment. But the setting is quality and consistent, and the quality of equipment is definitely nice. Cool location as well.

Always a good time. New sets rotate weekly. Great yoga teachers. 💯 would recommend. …
