I picked this place as they offer…read morelessons at more affordable price (65 CAD) compared to the the other competitor within Greater Vancouver area. Climbing shoes, harness, and grigri rental is included in the lesson price. The instruction given was clear, and helpful. They also tested me by purposely doing things wrong (grigri on the wrong side, the rope is too long, etc), and asked me to verify that everything is good to go. I got the chance to belay the other lesson taker, and the instructor would pointed out what habit I need to fix. After the lesson, I got a piece of paper to review what I learned today. I also got a bit of free time to climb on my own. 7 days trial is included in lesson so that you can climb and practice more. The oval climbing gym offers bouldering (small section), lead, and speed climbing. Pretty solid climbing gym in my opinion!

*Review mainly based on Gym*…read more South Surrey Recreation & Arts Centre is a community centre that has plenty of activities going on everyday of the week - from Art Classes to Badminton to Basketball or Spin Classes and more, there is bound to be an activity that will get you moving at all ages! My main use for South Surrey Rec. is for their Fitness/Gym Centre. Plenty of floor to ceiling windows allow for natural sunlight and openness, and the wooden beams add a rustic feel but all of the modern fitness equipment will definitely satisfy all your fitness needs! Also, I love all the mirror space so you can watch your body mechanics and check out your gains! ;) There is a dedicated section to all things Cardio - from ellipticals, treadmills, row machines, step machine, and stationary bikes. There are also different types of those machines so you can test out which machine works better for your body. On the other half of the gym, there are plenty of free weights (up to 75lbs) and cable machines. I appreciate that there are 3 squat racks and a smith machine - so plenty to ensure you don't usually have to wait for one to become free. Plenty of other equipment if you're not into machines either like TRX, medicine balls, bands, etc... There is a good amount of free floor space with individual mats with mirrors for other activities as well. They even have rollers too for your tight muscles. Inside the gym, there are 2 water fountains, washrooms for men and women, a scale and they have lockers (bring your own lock) and cubbies for your belongings. Air-con is great and the huge ceiling fans allow for great air flow - I don't ever feel stuffy or smell the gym stink. And to keep it that way, make sure to wipe down your equipment with the provided paper towels and spray! They play music overhead, sometimes softer but sometimes on the louder side - but definitely bring your own headphones if you prefer your own music or you don't want to hear people grunting as they work-out. Staff are around for help and they clean up around the gym from time to time. A majority of the time the bar weights are misplaced but you can generally find enough of them and don't have to go on a pilgrimage to find the weight you want - but there are labels so put them in their rightful place for good gym etiquette! Overall, this is my go-to gym. The space is huge, clean, great machines, weights, and free parking - plus if you have a Surrey Gym Pass, you can go to all the other Recreation Centres in Surrey! So get your heart pumping and muscles moving to burn off all that food you're enjoying!

Came here with a Groupon for a day of Drop-in Bouldering with Shoe Rentals…read more First off, staff was extremely friendly and helpful! There were a few people in front of us so we had to wait but you could tell they were really chill and pleasant to each customer. They were patient with organizing my group with waivers, Groupons and finding our correct shoe size. They were great with explaining the safety and rules of the bloudering area too. Starting off on the V0's (easy) to V8's (difficult) there was a variety of different routes to try. It was nice for beginners that there were several V0 and V0+ routes scattered around the gym area - to keep things interesting and allow us to explore the floor. Each path had it's own personality - some were easy and others made you think before you act. It was an awesome workout not only for our bodies but our problem-solving too! There are washrooms, lockers (bring your own lock), a water fountain, cubbies, and a little lounge area with a mini drink machine ($1.50 for a cup). In the end, our arms were tired and our fingertips were tender, but we left with a feeling of accomplishment and appreciation for all climbers! Learning to climb better will be my next project - Thanks Project Climbing for the first climb!

This is the first gym out of Austin (Austin Bouldering project) I've climbed at, and I can see how…read morespoiled I am, but all things considered this is a great facility still. It's on the small to medium size and is a brand new, clean gym. There's a good variety of angled walls, from overhung cave areas to vertical slab walls with a good variety of difficulty levels from V0-V7+. Holds are clean and problem settings are decent with individual routes being pretty easy to follow thanks to color coded holds and each route is labeled with a taped grade on the beginning hold. It seems new routes are set by color weekly, with all orange routes being reset one week, and yellow problems being reset the next, for example, so it makes it easy to locate new problems for frequent members and easy to know which will be coming down soon if you're trying to finish a problem before it's gone. My main gripe however, is the lack of enough down climb holds. There are plenty of large gaps with no down climb holds nearby at the top of routes and when you're climbing beyond V1-V2 levels with big, good holds, downclimbing after an exhaustive 100% effort can be a chore at best or a bit dangerous at worst with no easy way to get down. Coupled with the fact I wasn't made to read anything or sign a waiver, this seems like a liability for the gym. I also wish the top of the wall surface was consistent. Some areas have a flat top edge while others have a narrow lip that you can more easily grip around, and it's harder to grab the flat edge when expecting the lip. There are approximately 6-7 routes for sport climbing with auto belay machines, which would be fun, but probably not enough variety to keep strictly sport climbers satisfied. I wish there were more volumes on the wall, to add more wall surface variety, and the bathrooms/locker room areas are small, but adequate, and lockers are free to use. People, employees and climbers are friendly and helpful. Overall it's a great gym.
