This was a temporary gym for me while I was in the area for a few weeks. I chose this gym for the…read moreproximity and reasonable monthly membership fee and was not disappointed! The gym is very clean and the employees were very friendly. I loved that they have communal chalk for free - great for when you forget or if you are a first timer. There are not too many problems to work on here and even fewer overhangs. Although they make up for it by changing a section of the wall every week so it keeps things new and fresh. For a tall person I also thought some problems were too short (I could reach the top after a few steps). Maybe setters can make problems more interesting by setting longer routes. Overall I would still come back whenever I'm visiting Canada again!

My nieces (8 & 11) absolutely love this place, so I guess it must be OK. To be clear, this is not…read morerock climbing walls. This is "bouldering". The difference being zero help, no ropes, no safety of any kind aside from a padded floor. Some walls are steep and over 20' tall, so a fall can be significant. Guess that's why you sign a waiver. This place is clean and spacious with almost limitless possibilities to suit all skill levels. The colored nodules on the wall indicate a skill level and "path" you should take to reach the top. Using a color other than the one you started with would be considered cheating--but I won't tell. Admission price varies depending on group size and you get admitted for an all-day pass. I would like to see an hourly option since we really only needed 2 hours to get hour fill of fun. We paid about $17 USD per person. Groupon has several offerings to help reduce that cost. My only recommendation would be to offer some sort of instruction, tips, videos, etc related to bouldering. There was only one staff member and he never came over to offer a tip or advice or anything to help us navigate the walls better. They had a TV playing video of rock climbing, but that is of no value here. Overall very enjoyable time with the kids, but I think I prefer Sky Zone instead for the variety of activities available.

The fees are a little bit less than at other gyms and I think this is due to the size of it. There are a decent number of top rope and lead climbing routes but only a few auto belays. The bouldering area was very squished due to a wall that separates everything else from it. It just felt like it was hard to walk without tripping over people essentially. They had a lot of projects up that were ungraded on one side of the wall. This was kind of interesting because it kind let you forget about any sort of level restrictions. Some of the grading they did have was interesting - they had had a "V minus"...as in less than 0. I'm not sure how one determines something is easier than a 0. As for some housekeeping, the front has a lot of coat hangers and a bench area for you to put on your shoes. There is a sink in this area too for quick handwashing. There are lockers up a set of stairs. They don't do any walk-in sort of belay training - check for special dates. They had a board up where you could contact other members for a belay partner which was pretty cool. All the staff were friendly too. Seems like a nice gym to be a part of!

My friends and I wanted to try a new activity in the area. We heard of this new place opening up…read moreand decided to check it out. This is called bouldering, so rock climbing without a harness. The harness is available for people who want it (young and old), however you are only able to do some obstacles, as the harnesses can't be on all the walls. This is a completely new facility. You have to sign a waiver when you first climb here. This was my first experience with climbing and I do not have very good upper body strength, however this shouldn't stop you!!! The walls are labeled with levels of difficulty, and you work your way up gradually based on your comfort level. There are shoes available for rent here, as well as locker, and chalk. There is plenty of room to store your personal belongings on shelves. You can also bring your own lock so that you do not have to rent a lock. You are given a quick tour on your first day and also shown how to fall safely. There are thick mats under all the walls, however it is important to follow the falling instructions to prevent injury. As a first time climber, I was nervous at first (because heights aren't my thing) but after a few easy climbs, I really got into it. Expect to be very sore the next day if this is your first time! You will be using muscles you have never used before. I saw people of all ages and skill level. There were even children as young as 7 years of age. There are definitely more challenging walls that even expert climbers will find difficult. I really enjoyed this experience and can't wait to return! Get out there and climb! :)

The staff was very rude and unhelpful. When we arrived, they told us to wait because no one was…read moreavailable to show us around. After waiting for 30 minutes, my oldest child went to the monkey bars, but even though he was just standing there, they told him to come back and keep waiting. They insisted we wait until someone was available to assist us. My kids do not need help with monkey bars or rock climbing, at least not my 12 years child who has done it many times before. Then, one of the staff members claimed I wasn't following their policy and accused me of trespassing. Their only policy seemed to be making us wait. What started as excitement quickly turned into us being treated like criminals. The customer service was terrible. I'm glad I didn't spend any money there, and in just two minutes, they lost $110 from us. I also found out they charge an extra $15 to rent harnesses and shoes, on top of the ticket price. If I could, I'd give them zero stars.

He also loved climbing the many different rock walls once we were able to belay for him. The staff is extremely knowledgable, friendly and takes the time to make sure you are comfortable at your challenge of choice. The facility is geared towards extreme amateurs like my wife and I to very advance climbers. It was also really cool to watch the more experienced climbers. I the facility is kept really clean and their washrooms also have showers if you need to clean up. If you are looking for a great place to have fun with your family, I'd recommend going to Aspire!

Their reception area is much larger with tons of storage for shoes, bags, and jackets. The bouldering area is now on the 2nd level which gives people more room to hang out and take breaks.

I definitely recommend this spot to beginners and pro climbers alike! Let's not forget, they have a ton of friendly people working here! They are awesome!

The staff are very friendly and chill, they will give you a brief orientation if it's your first time at that location (regardless of climbing experience). Rentals are available. The location is convenient by bus as well as its right around the corner of University/Weber. This also means many students are keen to use this location. As the place fills up, it can get quite crowded easily. What I found great about this location is that there are black tower boxes that are filled with chalk (so you don't even need to bring your own! There are adequate benches to sit on but I do wish there were more spots to sit. The washrooms were nice and clean. There are also lockers available in the washroom and along the wall outside by the front desk. TIP: immediately entering, you would scan your card to the left side of the front desk. It took me a few seconds to find it so hopefully this tip helps to know where you need to look!
