Great for weekend fun, summer camp and just fitness in general! It's the most "extra" gym with bouldering, rock climbing, yoga and a gym. Great for kids too. Absolutely recommend. read more

If you are active and want to do something different, I highly recommend. Also, you shouldn't be afraid of heights. Indoor rock climbing will push you out of your shell and definitely led me to do something I never thought I could do. Turns out I'm a little spider monkey.. crawled right up! I would recommend going on Groupon. They have different deals depending on the offer at the time. So worth it! read more

Do you know someone that can't stop climbing? Well, this is the place for them! This is my experience at Momentum Indoor Climbing Gym. I purchased a two week trial, and my family and I loved it! We learned many things including how to belay, climb, and boulder. Momentum had great ropes, labels, and atmosphere. The ropes were strong and held tight. The top rope labels were precise and helpful. The atmosphere was very accepting and patient with beginners. I recommend bringing your own things and start with easy climbs. You should bring your own gloves, chalk, waterbottles, and hairties and start on V0 for bouldering and 5.6 or 5.7 for auto belay. Overall, momentum climbing is a very good gym for beginner and advanced climbers. I definitely recommend this for people 7 and up. read more

Be prepared to come home with sore arms! I had a great first rock climbing experience at Momentum. They made us fill a waiver on their tablets and watched a short orientation video. Then we grabbed our harnesses and rental shoes and we were off to the walls! There's lots of cubbies around the whole place to store your belongings. They also have clean restrooms and water fountains available. They have multiple climbing options such as bouldering, auto belay and top rope belaying. For top rope belayers, you will need to take a course to become certified. They offer classes every hour. We skipped the bouldering as I didn't trust my upper body strength without a harness! The auto belay portion was a blast! I felt so satisfied reaching the top and it was super fun to jump off of the wall! I do wish the auto belay walls were a lot taller but nonetheless, I still had so much fun! I had a great workout here and my arms were so sore at the end of the day. read more

Good climbing place where gives you great climbing opportunities! ;) There are two sections one without rope and another with safety ropes! You can climb high and low! Great challenging for your strength and beyond! Instructor Bri was very good as well! Come and climb! read more

We went for a birthday party and the staff was friendly and very attentive! This was one of the best parties I've gone to for my kids because it was very organized and the staff was so amazing. read more

Clean Staff isn't all helpful or informative. But the last handful of times we went, the front desk ppl were good about asking what we planned to do, if we needed gear, reminding us to sign a waiver, etc.. My 4 yr old enjoys coming here to play with other kids and now after our two week trial has grown braver and braver about climbing the walls. The staff we come across upstairs is usually really nice and helpful, jumping to see if you need help. The his place has really encouraged my son to face his fears of falling and heights. read more

Really awesome climbing gym! The top roping wall is amazing and so tall. There's definitely a lot to do here! I personally prefer bouldering. I was a little worried because based on their website, the bouldering area seemed very small, but it's actually pretty substantial! There's plenty of routes for all levels, and I had a pretty fun session here. I usually go to the Silver Street location, but they were closed, so I ended up at Katy and I'm so glad I went! Also, if you have a membership at Silver Street, you can also use it at Katy. That was awesome to know! Now I'll probably split my time climbing between the two gyms because I really liked this location. read more

Momentum Climbing Gym - Super tall top roping wall - Rock Climbing Near Me - Katy, Texas

Excellent place for climbing, lots of top roping, big weight lift gym with a spray wall in the back, kids area, and their boulders are rated pretty appropriately, maybe slightly on the soft side, but just ever so slightly. Great workers here though, just good vibes. Come check out their shop for unique gear too. Shout out to Rush! read more

The facility is super clean. The instructors are knowledgeable and friendly. I'm scared of heights and have climbed multiple times without fear and had a fun experience. There are a variety of difficultly levels, areas and activities for most ages. I've even seen kids scale past me like little professionals. Totally recommend read more

Momentum Climbing Gym - Rock Climbing Near Me - Katy, Texas

I've always wanted to go bouldering/rock climbing and I finally was able to go! It was so much fun. I'm coming back for sure. Makes me want to buy my own equipment and take up a new hobby! This place is really clean and very kid friendly. I would def recommend it! They have all sorts of different levels and ways to rock climb. They also have an area with auto belay so that you don't need a partner to climb with. I also really like that there's so many different routes and each with certain difficulties (it's really fun to go with friends and challenge each other). Rates: Adult day pass: $20 Child day pass (11 and under): $14 Harness rental: $4 Climbing shoe rental: $6 Belay device: $2 Combo rental (harness,shoes,belay): $9 The day pass includes full access to all climbing areas, the fitness gym and the showers! How awesome is that? read more

Momentum Climbing Gym - Rock Climbing Near Me - Katy, Texas

I absolutely love coming to Momentum. We use to go to the one off of silver street but we moved to Katy and I was so excited to find the one here! Staff is always friendly, the workout area in the back is nice and the routes change quickly but not too quick so if you're stuck on one you have time to work on it for awhile before they remove it. read more

First of all, let me just say...I was in rock climbing heaven. The entire gym is very aesthetically appealing to the eyes. It's so colorful, bright, HUGE, and gives you that overall feeling of happiness. Only a climber would know. Or any fitness person. They even had their own weight room for your lifting needs! Though this place may be far, it was worth the drive all the way to Katy. There's another Momentum gym close to me in the Heights, but that one is only a bouldering gym. This Katy location, has top rope, a weight room, kids climbing area, bouldering....literally a climbers heaven. They even have an REI Co-Op! Also there's a Groupon online, but to be honest, you're only save $1, and to me, it's not really a deal if you're an experienced climber. The deal is for a bouldering class in which most people are not experienced. Now, if it was a class for belay and harness and shoes rental, then it would be a great deal. FYI. Compared to Texas Rock Gym, this gym blows it out the water. Sorry TRG. I love you, but Momentum made me fangirl real hard. Like any other rock gym, they provide a harness and shoes with rental fees. For belaying, you'll need clips, so you just have to give up your ID in exchange. Of course you'll get it back. They do that because some people tend to leave without returning them. A regular day pass is around $20. But that is an all day pass, so if you decide to leave to get food and then come back, you're still able to climb. Adult Day Pass* $20 Child Day Pass* $14 Yoga Day Pass $10 For Yoga only Harness Rental $4 Shoe Rental $6 Belay Rental $2 Collateral needed for rental Rental Combo: Harness, Shoes, & Belay Device $9 You're welcome ^^^^^^^^^^ Just a tip, compared to TRG their ropes are a bit different. Their top ropes don't require an 8 knot, where as if you belay at Momentum, you have to know how to tie an 8 knot to climb. It's how you can be secured while climbing, and how it should be TBH. Don't want no body to diieeeeee. Bring water. I repeat. Bring water. The customer service was fantastic. They are so gentle with kids, amazing at explaining things to newcomers, and are very patient. Speaking of kids, I have never seen so many kids so happy to climb!! Man some of them are better than me! I spent about an hour at the REI Co-Op store to the point where I was late meeting my friends for dinner. But to be honest, it was WORTH IT. And fekking huge shoutout to Alexandra for being so patient with me!!! I am now a proud owner of my very own climbing gear: harness and shoes. Found the perfect harness to fit my fat thighs. And shoes to fit my big, jagged feet. Ya know? That morton's toe ain't pretty lookin. Stuff takes time to find. Ya feel? I have been climbing for years, but the amount of rentals I have spent my money on, has equated to the amount I could have spent on my own climbing gear. Plus spending money on day passes. Also being an REI member saved me sooooooo much money. I can see myself coming back for sure. read more

Momentum Climbing Gym - Rock Climbing Near Me - Katy, Texas

If health, fitness and fun are goals in your off time, this is the place to be. The rock climbing gym has a lot of fun for kids and adult. When you walk in, one of the first things you notice to the far left are the gigantic climbing walls. They seem intimidating enough, until you take the belay instruction and have climbing partner with you (that you would trust!). This gym provides harnesses and rock climbing shoes. There is also a shop inside that has those items and much more for sale. REI members get a discount. There are also areas in which you can sit if you're not participating. Momentum requires that everyone who walks in to sign a release form. You can fill one out online before going to this gym to speed up your check in. The people who work here are friendly, easy going and are knowledgeable about everything to do with rock climbing. The atmosphere is pretty positive too. There's not only the huge, giant wall, there is also a race climbing wall. There is a timer at the top. When you reach it, hit the buzzer to stop the timer on your side. It's amazing just to watch the climbers who do this. There is also a free climb area that doesn't require a harness but you will still need your shoes. A lot of older kids and teenagers frequent this area. Tucked within the main area towards the back is a climbing room for the little ones. Like really little ones. It's low climbing free structures and soft padded floor are ideal for small kids. This place also has a regular gym. You can workout before climbing or just come here to work out anyways. We went as a group to Momentum. This is a solid place to have a family outing, day date, workout or just to have fun. read more

Momentum Climbing Gym - Rock climbing wall - Rock Climbing Near Me - Katy, Texas

We came here on a Saturday right as COVID was starting up. They were still open and our kids wanted to climb. This was the perfect gym for that. It was not crowded and they had the "backpack" style harnesses and shoes for the kids that made it ideal for them. We had to watch an orientation video on a iPad and after that were on our way. The staff was so friendly and helpful. They have two sections that we utilized the most. We started in the back corner in the kids area, which was a low free climb with all sorts of challenges and structures. It was a large space. Then we went upstairs to the auto belay walls and spent most of our time there before going back down to climb with human belayers. There was easy enough walls for the kids in this main section of the gym. We did not boulder, or use the fitness gym. We did, however, take a food break and sat in their small lounge area, where we could see others climbing. read more

Great gym & staff I came by with some friends to finally get our top rope cert at momentum and Sam was our instructor. He was helpful, informative, and engaged. He left us feeling confident and excited to climb! When I convince more friends to try climbing and, more importantly, top rope, I hope Sam is around to teach them the ways of the wall too. I usually go to Silver Street because it's closer to home but I love making a trip out to Katy. read more

New favorite gym! I just wish I'd found it sooner. The gym is always kept clean and the staff is always chipper and helpful. I love that when I get stuck on a problem, a passerby (staff or other climbers) usually offer tricks and tips that I may not have thought of myself. Although top rope has been my favorite, I like that they also offer auto belay walls along with boulders so you can go solo or with partners. The variety makes it easier to bring more people (fewer excuses accepted lol). I don't take advantage of their weight/training area and yoga as much as I should. But they do seem to have a little bit of everything including trainers! read more

One of the best rock climbing places I've been to. The high rope routes go up really high. And there are so many different kinds of routes with different ratings from beginner to very difficult. The routes are very fun, and they change occasionally. There's different routes to practice different rock climbing skills. The bouldering side is also very extensive. However I haven't done that side very much. The belay lesson is very easy to follow, and the people are super nice. Rentals are available for harness, shoes, belay device. The gym is a very big open space that is well ventilated with sanitizer and stink easily accessible. Very good for covid times. Masks required at all times. read more

The wife and I took our sons (5 & 8) to Momentum for a birthday afternoon activity. The kids absolutely loved it as well us parents (we all climbed). We had a blast and we want to thank Marika for all her help. The gym has walls for all ages and there were different challenges for all age groups. We'll definitely be back and just want to thank the professional and courteous staff. See you all again soon!! read more

I started rock climbing about a month ago at the silver street location since it's closest home and fell in love with bouldering right away. Just today I decided to check out the Katy location which I knew was well-known for their top topping and belay. The staff, Jesse and Kyle were such amazing people as they helped me with my first time there learning everything and let me climb the fast climb wall. All the people were also very friendly and made the place feel like a community. I will definitely be coming back to this location more often and look forward to trying on all the new routes. read more

We had our daughters 11th birthday party here and it was AMAZING!!!! Monica and Canton(I'm probably spelling that wrong) were the most awesome hosts... they took care of everything! I just set back and greeted parents! The kids had so much fun and got to do everything. This was by far the best experience for me as a parent throwing a birthday party for my kids! I definitely recommend momentum for your kids birthday parties. On a different note...... This place is an awesome indoor rock climbing place. There's stuff for all levels and all ages! It's a great place to get in some physical activity for the family and it's a lot of fun! The staff are super friendly and helpful. My family and I are looking forward to many more visits. read more

This is my first time doing it and may I say it's so fun, I'm pretty athletic so I wanted to try out something new. I got on Groupon and it was a deal for 14$ so I took it. Without the discount I think it's 30 something per person including the harness as well. The staff here are very nice and welcoming. Anyone who hasn't indoor climb you guys should try it. read more

I love this place! The staff are super friendly, as are all of the other members with which I have interacted. They change up the routes regularly so there's always something new to challenge you. They have mixers and special events for members very regularly. They keep the place in great shape. I had a membership for about a year with my son. It was an awesome way to bond with him and friends while also getting a good workout. They have a training and workout facility inside as well. Another perk is getting to go to any Momentum facility anywhere on the same membership. There is a location in Houston that I've been to several times. It's great to mix it up sometimes. Both locations are awesome! I love the fact that people of all ages and in just about any physical shape can enjoy rock climbing. It's a wonderful facility for the Katy area. They have a great price for students 18 or younger of $50 a month. That's about the price I wish it was for adults too. But I'd say it is worth their price for what you get. Check it out. You just might fall in love with rock climbing. read more

Momentum Climbing Gym - Top Rope Climbing Wall - Rock Climbing Near Me - Katy, Texas

We were first timers walking into Momentum last month. After meeting the staff, we decided to host a birthday party for our 9 year old boy/girl twins. While the location is incredible- it was without a doubt the level of attention from the staff that made this the best party for everyone. From the moment we walked in to ask about parties (we were given an on the spot tour) to booking the time/date online, ordering extra food to our arrival- everything was simple. Once we arrived, there was a staff of 4 dedicated to our group- they made everything fun for the kids and super easy for me. They have the timing down perfectly for the right amount of instruction, climbing and time celebrating (pizza & cake). Taking the time to get pictures of all the kids climbing up the wall was just priceless. They wrangled 18 x 3rd graders like real pros! I would highly recommend- even for kids a little skittish on climbing- everyone ended up having a blast. Customer Service just means everything these days- we will certainly be back for more fun. The twins (and the parents) agreed this was their favorite party. Big Thank You to Samantha, Ellen, Simon & Paul @Momentum for making our event so much fun! read more

Love Momentum Katy! Very clean, friendly staff, and the climbing community there is very welcoming. The routes are continually being changed on a set schedule so there is always something new to climb. Great for top roping, lead climbing, speed climbing, and bouldering.

This was the best place to let my 11 & 8 year old boys exert some energy. They had a blast! Looking at some of the courses were a bit intimidating to them at first but, once they got going, it was no stopping them from there! This location in Katy was also perfect as it was close to hotels, shops & great restaurants! We will be back soon! read more

I need to do this more often. I was pretty exhausted, but had a lot of fun in the process. The staff showed some tricks that should help me out from exhausting myself too early next time. LOL. So much nuance to be learned in this sport. Shoutout to the awesome and helpful staff, Brian, Nicole, and Monica. read more

Very fun atmosphere to be around, and I love how they make you watch safety videos beforehand. The facility itself is very clean and the website is straightforward with its pricing and information. Although going to climb for just one day isn't worth the price, BUT the price for going two weeks is amazing which they do try to let you know about if you sign up for just the day pass ( to help save money and gain more experience ). The only reason I took away a star though was my friend was bleeding and I asked for a bandaid and they kept jokingly telling me that there were none for him, even though it was sitting on the counter. I feel like that's unnecessary and unprofessional to joke about someone's wellbeing. read more

they have a summer camp for kids so we dropped by on a scouting mission to see the facilities and were blown away. we did a quick day pass for my 3 and 5 year old boys to get a taste, 30$, and started in their special kiddy room for some freestyle/bouldering and made it to the bigger bouldering areas near the desk; they both were hooked immediately and amazingly did it 2.5 hours nonstop til bloody hands. next time we will have our gear! so the best deal seems to be getting both kids membership for 70$ a month, and once i get belay certified here i can let them climb anywhere. they have some 2 week trial now (may 2021) that's 70$ i believe that includes all the gear and belay certification? so that looks like the winner, then camp and maybe monthly membership. but yea, they have everything you can need. bathrooms, showers, full gym with freeweights and cardios, yoga room, auto-belay area, and every skill level climb route to satisfy first-timers up to veterans. everyone wore masks correctly the whole time (surprisingly), so covid friendly. but maybe most importantly, the staff were extremely helpful, knowledgeable and notably happy, so it's good to know we have another indoor summer activity to beat the heat and get the boys tired. read more

The level of customer service here is pristine. Mentioned to one of the employees it was my first time visiting the facility and he was genuinely excited to show me around. After the grand tour, I was given simple instructions on how to fill out the waiver form. Employee walked me through the climbing options and a short safety precaution video. Thereafter, I was on my way to climb. We were offered an extended 2 week membership and we were able to return a second time to take a beginner course on how to belay. Few pluses about this location: - open 8-11pm M-S (Sunday 10-8pm) - family friendly - gym access included with Day Pass - Beginner-Pro level climbing options - climbs include beginner instruction course - super nice and helpful staff - all rentals available onsite - stress-free price options read more

I took my 2 youngest kiddos to use a groupon I had purchased a few weeks ago at the recommendation of our neighbor and I am so thankful she suggested this place. My kids had such a blast and I wanted to join them so they offered a day pass with equipment re tap for an extra $30 or so which seemed a bit steep but I really just wanted to join my kiddos so it seemed well worth it at the time. They have several areas for smaller children which kept my 3 & 5 year old interested and happy for hours. There the option to free climb or use the harness at the dedicated kids area upstairs and they really enjoyed that area so much and can't wait to go back. There's also vending/snack area if you want to take a break or just grab Gatorade or water which we utilized during our trip. Thanks for a fun afternoon! read more

Man this was my first time rock climbing indoors and this was a good experience!!!... Shaun our instructor was perfect and patient. We had a day pass until 11pm so we could come and go as we please. They had so many different levels of climbing for your skill set. The monthly membership is kind of high but probably worth it if you start climbing a lot. Definitely worth coming back!!!! read more

there is a manager there with a napoleon complex. after I talked to 3 climbers (staff) and tried to explain to him i have a more advanced way to belay. he basically soiled his diaper and started having a tantrum and asked me to leave in the rudest and aggressive way. there was absolutely no reason for him to be aggressive with me besides his own "ego" being questioned. I didn't do anything out of pocket but try to explain in a calm voice of what is going on. I have been climbing since I was a child. I have climbed for years and with professionals and have never been spoken to like I did with that hipster douchebag. as a disabled veteran am absolutely appalled how I was treated by the staff there and I will not return. read more

First time coming here and the lady at the front was great with information and very friendly. If you are a beginner there isn't as much for you to do just a few walls upstairs compared to if you are certified to climb the other walls there seems to be a lot more to do. There is also a wide variety of the bouldering. The place was also very clean. read more

Rookies, please read the next paragraph and ignore the last paragraph. More experienced climbers, please skip to the last paragraph. This gym is large and has lots of different routes with varying levels of difficulty. The paths are very easy to follow and the walls vary in height as well. The separate room with typical gym equipment is also impressive, so you can work out other muscle groups that rock climbing would miss. If you are debating between coming here vs Stone Moves, Texas Rock Gym, etc, I'd recommend Momentum simply because of the size and options available. Generally, the route difficulty ratings are more lenient than at other places. Many 5.10b (and even 5.10c) routes were jug focused, something you'd almost never see at other gyms. There are many crack climbing routes as well, and a couple of routes that are slightly overhung. I wish that the route setters were more creative though, because most routes were vertical and not zig-zag. The part that really bugged me though, was that all the auto-belay devices were on the 20-foot walls and none on the 50-foot walls. So if you're coming by yourself, I hope you like short walls and bouldering! read more

Came here for date night! So much fun. I suggest getting chalk dust. Upon entering we were greeted, they explained to us the rules, procedures etc. They showed us how to belay.

I am a total rookie--as in before this visit, I had never climbed anything other than the stand alone rock walls that used to be inside some local malls back in the day. 100% beginner. You could easily spend hours here between the bouldering, rope climbing, and gym areas. A day pass gives you access to everything here. The routes are all marked (V0 to V16) to indicate difficulty, and there are so many routes. The gym area was pretty impressive. There are a ton of free weights, dumbells, boxes, machines, kettle balls and an entire area dedicated to practicing climbing drills/technique. I mean, you name it and they had it. My lack of experience prevents me from being particularly helpful to anyone with experience. But if you're just looking for a new/last minute activity, I think this is a great place to come. My friends and I had a great time, even when we were just sitting around realizing how little finger strength we had while watching the pros seemingly fly across the walls. The staff is very helpful and boosted my confidence when I expressed my fear of heights and falling. We all felt a great sense of accomplishment when we progressed through the routes, even when we couldn't complete them. After a few falls, the fear was totally gone. Not every day you can successfully face your fears. The only con for me was the price. I have lived in Austin for a while and the main bouldering gym there charges $12 for students, which includes a free shoe rental on the first visit. I paid $28 here which included the free shoe rental. As a first timer that wasn't doing anything besides attempting the easiest routes in the bouldering area, that price premium was kind of a turn off, even though this gym is larger and offers things like the roped climbing area. I wish I could've paid to just use the bouldering area! read more

I've been going to Momentum in Katy regularly for about 6 weeks now. It's the best! The staff there are top notch. They are all friendly and helpful, and they actually take the time to chat up the climbers and give out tips - which I definitely need! I've really improved after getting some of these tips! I really want to call out the one guy who helped me so much just from a few minutes chat, but can't recall his name right now - I'll edit or add to this review when I see him again. I am a true beginner and have been working hard to build up some more strength and strategy when climbing, so I really appreciated that he bothered with someone like me when there are more experienced climbers on the floor. I wish there were more Momentum's in Houston because Katy is such a far drive for me, but I'm definitely hooked! If you guys want to put one in Sugar Land you've got at least one loyal customer! Another mention that I will also put on REI's page as well, but the people that working in the co-op climb shop here are also totally awesome. They make you feel so comfortable coming in there and are so willing to share everything they know. Long story short, I love this place!! read more
