I am very disappointed with my first time experience at this location. I signed my two sons up for…read moretheir first rock climbing experience during their toddler time hours. Well let's just say the experience they had was to only view the outside of the building as nobody came to open up the building at 8am. It's not the easiest to get a family up with young children and travel 30 minutes to only be let down. There were 7 other families with young children (all first timers as well) in which we all had to then turn around and now tell our children we weren't going to rock climb after all the hype. Maybe don't make a family pay for this experience in advance if they are only to be let down. Figure it out!

This gym is great for bouldering! It's not super large - so I'd check on their website first to…read moreknow how crowded it is and maybe only consider going when it's 10 people or less. I appreciate the wide range of surfaces they have - from slabs (that you can lean on) to overhangs to wall edges. It also seems like they reset the routes frequently so there's a lot of variety to tackle. As far as membership and rental prices go, as of Oct 2020, they were running a discount to get a membership for $59 with no initiation fee. Otherwise a day pass is $16 without gear rental, $25 with rental. And a night pass is $10 with or without rental.

He was s very reluctant to go down their large slide but when he did, a couple of older girls and a mom all cheered for him, which meant a lot to me and he realized it wasn't scary. That was great! My only concern is no one was cleaning...ever. There were tickets on the couch I was sitting on from multiple days prior and 3 dates after it expired a woman pulled it off. That's how you get MRSA. I still like this place but it also fits into the "make money while I can" model. Summer I won't bring my kid here without upgrades.

I had no idea they had a fitness room with machines + good amount of equipment needed to get a good workout in.

Would definitely come back again!

A friendly and welcoming Rock Climbing Gym for any level of experience!…read moreI only rock climbed once and recently wanted to try it again for fun. This spot was not crowded at all and had a lot of open area to try new things. There is a video that they have you watch to get an understanding of the gym, and what sections are for what type of climb. The staff was also very nice in answering questions and making sure you are safe. For beginner climbers, you can climb on short rocks without gear and you can climb tall rocks with gear. There is a large section of the gym where you need a certificate to climb so those were off limits to me. Overall I spent about an hour and a half trying each climb. A very good spot to check out if you are a beginner or just need an open space to climb.

The Central Rock Gym separates their routes using hold colors which is much better than gyms that put stickers near each route. The gym is clean and staff if very friendly.

My interaction with the staff has always been a pleasant one; they definitely know what they're…read moredoing and are definitely passionate about rock climbing. The facilities are also well-maintained since they are clean and properly managed. My biggest concern for this place, however, is the affordability of the memberships. I'm sure the up-keeping of the facility can be expensive, but the prices only attract a particular group of people. Perhaps this is intentional; I am always looking for places that seek to incorporate diversity, both economically and racially. Keeping up with the monthly membership price is surely not sustainable for someone who lives off minimum wage or, even for someone who makes a bit more. Thus, though this can be a fun and safe place for the community, it lacks the actual representation of the latter. Moreover, no incentive programs currently exist to make this place a bit more affordable for the average working-class family in the city. Now, while they do have a family plan, it is exclusively for immediate family. I tried to create a membership with my older brothers but, was told that the family membership was only for my spouse and children. of which I have neither. This is truly a disappointment since with the single membership, you can only bring a guest with you once a month; after that there is a fee. So, if you're someone like me, who likes to bring a friend along to help with climbing or to encourage you with working out, this isn't the place for you. Unless of course, you friend wants to purchase a membership, too. But again, it´s just not cost-efficient or worth it for the average low/medium income person. But, for those of you who make a good amount of money, this place can definitely be worth it. They offer a wide range of workout classes and opportunities to get better at rock climbing. You'll just want to make sure you're taking advantage of everything- to make the dollar count. Overall, I really enjoy rock climbing, and this facility is truly well-managed and maintained. It has a lot of potential to actively engage with the community it's in; however, whether intentional or not, it greatly lacks in being a racially and economically diverse space. This is truly unfortunate for a place as fun and engaging as this one can be. Frankly, it's intimidating when you can count, with one hand, the number of people of color during a typical night, or even to witness the non-existence of the lower/ lower-middle class. And if you're from Worcester, you know it's a large community they're keeping out, a community that is greatly diverse. This facility has the opportunity to bring people together, but unfortunately, the prices hinder this from doing so and have instead, settled for just one particular group. And oh! the prices just recently went up $5.00 for all memberships.

This is a really sour first experience and I may update this review if I come back later... it's very unprofessional and even if something happened for them to close down emergently, it would have been great to have had a heads up. It's not that hard to post a sentence on social media that they are closed. We wasted a bunch of time filling out waivers and driving out, feeling excited for nothing.
