Our friends took us here on their guest pass. We had so much fun while feeling so secure. We have been here so far three times. We took belay course yesterday so we can participate in rock climbing in mutually beneficial way instead of just climbing and not belaying. The belay class was very helpful and thorough, relaxed but making sure we know exactly what to do to stay safe. They take their job seriously. It is very relaxed there but at the same time it was very well managed like Disney.
It is one more gym memeberhsip on our budget but it was totally worth it!!! It's so much fun and a great workout for your body and mind! And there is Luke's bagel right next door and some nice restaurants right across from the gym so it was huge incentive for us to go to the other side of town:)
They make it nice and easy and more affordable by offering a membership for $75 on just me and my husband being a guest for free since they allow their members to bring one guest a month and the second time the member to bring a guest would be $10 instead of us both having to sign up for $150 a month. We thought about doing it when we were planning on signing up and it was so nice that they were in sync with the what goes through the potential guest's mind. So, if this is your main gym, that is great but if it's your supplemental gym, it is easier to build into your budget and have fun to bring your friends without having it too stressful:)
They also changed the rock formations so frequently that you don't have to go through the same pattern almost never if you go once or twice a month. I think it is great customer service that they change out the patterns but also very good safety practice to check up on the security of the rocks.
We saw some family doing this activity together so any age group or activity level can be accommodated since the place is tagged according to the difficulty that will help you choose.
Every person working there is very friendly and courteous, energetic, engaging, and good vibes people like you would expect at a surf shop(I am just guessing here since I don't know how to surf)
They all seem to genuinely love what they do.
They rent you the gear and shoes for free as well! Wowzer!!
Definitely a local gem and this place elevates Gainesville as a whole!!!!! read more
