    The staff and culture here is great. Wonderful experience for a first time climber. It could've…read morebeen a very intimidating experience, but they made it super accessible and pleasant. Will definitely be back.

    Sorry for the length, just wanted to give a decently detailed review of the location and my…read morethoughts. Got back into climbing after about two years off. I am a 5.10 and V3 climber. I have experienced most gyms in the Boston area and other gyms in a few different states just to give my review context.. CRG Stoneham is a friendly gym with knowledgeable staff. I notice some of the staff came from a different gym that closed down which is great to see them in my local gym and able to ask them questions knowing they have experience. I don't feel any awkwardness if I talk to them or ask them some questions. They have always been willing to answer my questions or help me if needed. The space is modern and clean. I never feel like this place is dirty and gross despite it being a climbing gym which is nice. They sell small amounts of gear chalk, shirts, shoes and even ropes (which one colleague told me just have not been put out yet). This is great if you like buying stuff from a gym ( I personally don't but I did buy some swag like a hoodie and a T-Shirt). The gym itself is pretty large with two floors. The first floor mixed between top rope and lead climbing, which has roots for all levels and experience from straight vertical routes to overhang for lead. The variety of skill levels is nice for people who are not avid climbers or getting back to it. Do not let that fool you though there are plenty of experience routes that will be a good workout for the avid climbers searching for the indoor challenge. The bouldering area on the second floor has a good wall selection with plenty of space. Everything from slab and V0 to overhang V7 and up. I really like the variety that this whole space offers. Also there is a tension board training wall, and a hang board ladder system that provides a great training section and nice variety to just climbing routes. Again something for every skill level including a warm up/kids wall that is nice. They have a modest workout area, couple treadmills and cardio machines, two squat racks, dumbbells, hang-boards and other training equipment. I never have a problem using what I need in here because they have enough equipment for everyone. I can do a complete workout here that is not climbing related with all the equipment they have. The membership has some decent perks, free classes that are put on by the gym, a progression training from coaches (not sure if you pay extra for that or not but it is offered). One of my favorite parts is the employee belay. They are there a few days a week and will belay you if you do not have a partner. It does not cost money, granted you can not take up your entire session with this employee but the fact they offer this is amazing. Also you can pay 30 per hour and have an employee belay you if you would like. They also offer a adult team for the more competitive climbers for 85 monthly plus membership. With good come a few bad things. One being the website. I know not gym related specifically but I find some of the programs they offer hard to find on the site and I actually needed to email management to get the information (management got back to me within 24 hours which was great). As other reviewers have commented climbers with shoes walking around the bathroom. There is a sign on the bathroom door but it didn't seem to stop the people I have seen in there on a few different occasions so this is an issue and not a one time problem. The weekends are usually a little chaotic with some form of birthday party, which lead to kids sort of running around wild at times. I was doing some overhang work last week, when i feel off the wall I almost took out some little kid just running around the boulder area. My concerns is the kid will get hurt because I fall on them from any height. This does seem to happen quite a bit as other reviewers have commented and I tend to only notice this on weekends when there is a birthday or something. Not the worst thing but for me I would feel awful falling on some kid zooming around and hurt him or something. Closing thoughts: Definitely check this gym out if you are into climbing, plenty of gyms included in the membership including the Cambridge location which is bouldering only and geared toward more experience climbers but still awesome. Friendly staff and clean location. For 100 a month I feel like I get my money worth. Keep up the great work. If anyone read this far thanks. I do not write reviews often but really like this gym and the company so I wanted to give a shout out with an honest review. Keep up the good work CRG!!!

    The very best strength and conditioning facility in the country. Don't believe me? Men's Health…read moreagrees (http://www.menshealth.com/mhlists/america_s_best_gyms/Mike_Boyle_Strength_Conditioning.php). If you live in Boston, you'll need a car to get out here. It is not a normal gym, as you will sign up for group classes set on specific days and at specific times. Once you do, you'll be in a small class (usually less than 10), with two trainers giving you plenty of attention. Speaking of trainers, they recruit the best and the brightest, including my trainer, Anna Tocco, who is a ball of energy. It works out to be about $20 a session. You'll work up a sweat, but not simply for the sake of sweating - over the course of each 4 month session there is a plan to make you stronger, better conditioned, and less injury prone. You'll be doing the same workouts the pro athletes there are doing (when I was there, the NFL combine prep was in full swing), which some modifications of course (and obviously not at the same weights). They make great use of the astroturf for sprinting amd plyo work. Plenty of olympic weight racks. Penty of slideboard work too, which is awesome. No question, this is the gold standard.

    This is by far the best gym you can go to. The people here are super nice and you work so hard…read morehere. I recommend Mike boyles.
