It's a good place to get a cardio workout, some lifting, light climbing generally. Not a quality climbing gym. Stressful climbing experience. 100 dollars a month don't feel quite right. Too many kids running around at peak hours. I live in …

I'm not a rock climber, but I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I had a few hours to kill with my 8 year old, so I figured this might be something to do. Three weeks later, I now have a monthly membership and go with my kid 4 days a week. Turns out rock climbing is really fun, who knew? Well, I guess everyone knew.This place is enormous, and while most of the biggest wall is dedicated to lead climbing, I find that seeing talented strong people do amazing things is inspiring while I struggle up my 5-8 climbs. Also, I know what a "5-8 climb" means, so that's cool. In short, I don't know if other climbing gyms are this good, but boy is this one amazing. The price seems fair, and everyone is friendly and helpful.

Impressive center for indoor rock climbing. Well designed, maintained and managed. State of the art amenities, professional ad friendly service, pleasant atmosphere. Many different options and levels of challenge, from little kids and beginners to very advanced climbers. Parents can use treadmills and elipticals while waiting, that's great!

A great gym. Tons of wall space and heaps of problems to work through. The staff is always super nice and helpful. Runs are updated every week so there is almost always something new to explore. Really thankful for the central rock gyms - great places.

Very well set routes. Day pass is way too expensive for how crowded the gym is. 28$. Would be nice to have a discount /complimentary first visit as well like many other Gyms do

My favorite climbing gym! This place is huge, has a great lead cave, awesome top roping, plenty of creative boulders and a 45 degree boulder ramp. I appreciate the yoga and fitness classes included with the membership. Love being able to access all their other locations as well!

This is a great spot to climb. There is a lot of terrain here for skilled climbers, less so for casual climbers. The auto belay systems make choosing a wall to try so quick and simple. There is a fair amount of bouldering to try, but most of it is very intense and not casual friendly. Great climbing gym.

I am totally sold on this gym! As a climber who has been to many gyms in the area since 2001 I love this place. The routes are interesting and fun. They add difficulty by creating technical challenges NOT just by making the holds smaller (a …

This has been, and continues to be the premier climbing facility in the Boston area. The tall walls make for exceptional lead climbing. There's plenty of bouldering at the Waltham Annex and that's a good added benefit for members. …
