I took the lead belay class here with Dan and he was an amazing instructor. Always shared valuable info on how to stay safe and correct technique. Also told us the why behind everything! Highly recommend!

Awesome gym! Staff and facilities are both great. Lead class was very informative. Out instructor Dan was easily one of the best climbing teachers I've had.

Took a lead climbing course with Dan this past weekend. I knew zero going into the course and was pretty intimidated by the idea of lead climbing. Dan was super supportive, patient, and knowledgeable. He immediately helped me to feel confident in myself and helped me to applaud my successes and learn from my mistakes. As a teacher myself, I respect and appreciate the level of professionalism in the subject material and methods of instruction that Dan brought to this class. I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone considering building their skills and knowledge, or looking to break into lead climbing for the first time.

I love PRG! This place is great not only for climbers, but also for yoga and fitness fans. I‘ve been new in town and have already found my community. A place that feels like home. Cool people, clean and welcoming area and great coffee. Hope to find such a place once back in Austria. :-) You rock, guys!

This gym is solid. Tough walls with all kinds of difficulties. Dan is one of the kindest and open to teaching guides there. Also a tip of the hat to Jack and Shane. Quality folks sharing a passion. 🤌 love this place. Home away from home. …

I’ve been climbing at PRG since last summer after almost a decade long break, and I’ve been very happy with my experience and have gotten good value from my annual membership. I like the vibe of PRG and route setting better than other local gyms. Late at night or early in the morning, the gym is never crowded and a very chill experience.All of the staff is helpful and friendly, and I especially want to recognize Dan for being a fantastic, supportive, and thorough teacher of the lead climbing class as well as generally being someone who goes out of his way to help people with their climbing, learn your name, and say hello.

I wanted to get a membership as a gift for my bouldering enthusiast boyfriend. John H. took the time to go over several options with me to find the best fit, and had such a friendly, genuine and helpful attitude. He really made the process enjoyable. My BF is very excited to come in. Thank you for the great customer service, John!

Had a great time at the place! The front desk members Dan and John were extremely helpful and concise whenever i asked them questions about the facility, both were very friendly and inclusive. Gym was very clean and well managed, would definitely recommend a membership, at least a one time visit for sure.
