I love Dyno so much. My partner and I climb here around 3-4 times a week, even though it's about a 45 minute drive away from where we live, it is so worth it. The staff is so kind and welcoming and the gym has such a great atmosphere. It is always extremely clean in the gym as well as the locker rooms. I was new to climbing in September and became addicted ever since, I feel so fortunate to have DYNO nearby as I have went to other gyms since joining and I was honestly so disappointed. The student membership is such a great deal and I'm really grateful that they have made climbing so accessible for us. I love to bring new friends and family to introduce them to climbing and after I take them to DYNO they can't stop talking about it. There are so many top rope routes and bouldering options and they change the routes often, especially recently, so that you never get bored. I've heard of some people saying that the grading is too 'soft' but I have noticed that they have been making them a lot more difficult in the past few months. There is always staff monitoring and ensuring that everyone is safe, and if it's not too busy you can ask them to belay you which is awesome. There's an area upstairs for weight lifting and machines for cardio. There are also yoga classes that are offered upstairs and included with the membership. There is a first aid station at the front desk with bandaids and other supplies which I appreciate and almost always end up needing to use when I climb. As a woman, it is also so nice that they provide feminine hygiene products in the restroom, it really speaks to how much they care about their customers! Lastly, there is a large parking lot which is great as you never have to look for parking. We are very lucky to have this gym in Detroit. Thank you!!

Best climbing gym I’ve ever visited! The whole staff (but especially the owner, Dino) is so incredibly welcoming, attentive, and helpful. There is a great variety of wall angles, grades, and setting styles, and it is clear that they are really intentional about serving users of all ability levels and absorbing traffic well. Their facility is also beautiful and incredibly clean. 10/10!!!

Really friendly staff and great top roping section. They seem to have created a generous and kind community, which is not common at all gyms. Hope to be back soon!

If I could give more stars I would. Stef was amazing with my daughter and taught both of us the ropes! Very welcoming for first timers. We loved it, I could barely get my daughter to leave! Thanks again for such a fun time.

I have been going to climbing gyms for 20 years now in metro Detroit, NYC, and Boston and DYNO is definitely my favorite. The routes are varied, the vibe is very friendly, and the staff is second to none. I even had an issue with payment and Dino, who I believe is the owner, went above and beyond to help me out in my unique situation. I cannot recommend DYNO highly enough to beginners and veterans alike.
