I just took the lead climbing class. I highly recommend it to anyone who is curious about trying lead. Brandon is an amazing teacher! He is incredible at encouraging you to be your best while keeping you safe and relaxed. As someone with a fear of heights I had respect and excitement in my mind when I took my first falls!

Great rock climbing gym. I took the Intro to Climbing class with Molly (and Brandon) in October as a completely new climber, and had such a great time that I joined as a member and have been too-rope climbing at PRG ever since. I recently tried bouldering as well to practice more technical moves, and decided to take the Climbing Movement class with Brandon so that I can understand how to train more effectively (and safely). I wish I had taken this class sooner because Brandon goes through a lot of basic drills and concepts that are just best practices for being a better climber. My classmates were at different skill levels above me but it seemed like everyone was getting something out of the class. I also highly recommend the fitness and yoga classes! Megan’s bodyblast class is especially great.

The intro climbing class with Brandon was so much fun! Brandon was very patient, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. The facilities are impressive and there's a lot of variety. Highly recommend.

Brandon was a dynamite teacher for Intro to Climbing. I had been bouldering but hadn't belayed or spent much time rope climbing before and Brandon was knowledgeable, highly capable and made the class really fun and comfortable for all levels to learn in.

I love PRG. It’s an amazing and supportive community that boasts an incredible space and even more incredible staff. Dan is always great to see at the gym and always has helpful advice. Took a private lesson with Brandon and Jackie today and they were able to significantly improve my technique, and were both super fun and encouraging.

I came in last Sunday with friend who has a pass and partook in a yoga class as well auto-belay climbing. As always the facilities were clean and the staff were friendly and professional! And Dan working the front desk took my experience from good to great! Dan answered all my questions about passes to the gym, classes, equipment and even offered shoe recommendations to help get me in the sport! He made it feel inclusive for all skill levels/body types! Thank you so much Dan!

We did the First Ascents Class with Molly and it was awesome! She did a great job giving us a blend of practical info and skills and history about rock climbing and the culture. We can’t wait to go back!

Love the yoga classes, I take Phoebe's phenomenal flow and restore class, and the variety of routes for bouldering, top -roping and lead climbing. Just took a lead class with Brandon and he was an excellent teacher, very fun and supportive!
