Central Rock Gym

Only bouldering at this location, but my teenagers really enjoyed it. You do have to enter the building and then go down the elevator. Since it's in Mid-town, you do have to find parking and then walk the rest of the way there. We could park in the street close by, but I do believe there is also a parking deck around the corner.

I’ve been climbing at this gym for 14 years now and the community and family I have fostered is unlike any other! Very thankful for this gym and the incredible staff, route setting, and people. Wouldn’t want to spend all my time anywhere else!

Location was a little difficult to find. There's no sign on the outside that we could see, so we had to go into the building and ask the person at the desk for directions. No belays or top roping here, just bouldering. But the routes were fun and they can provide all equipment, including chalk bags, which was very convenient.

It's honestly like they don't even want you to find this place. Hidden in the basement of an office building with virtually no signs anywhere. Parking is miserable as to be expected with Midtown. The climbing itself is passable. Go to either of the other locations if you can.

I signed up for the $0 payment for the remainder of May and free June offer anticipating to pay July 1st. I’m from out of town and there is a location near me (which was a surprise). This kind of deal I feel is an invitation to get know CRG. With my funds being very limited, this was a great way to figure out if I want to keep CRGor go back to Movement which has many locations where I live. I visited all the gyms which were lovely. Great challenging boulders. More challenging than Movement’s NYC locations. It made me look forward to getting back and trying the Manhattan locations. I checked my bank account and saw that I was charged. I happen to be at a location that was different from where I signed up. I brought it up to that gym and they said that I had to go to my home gym. I called the home gym. The manager was unavailable but the person over the phone admitted that there was an error. I emailed and followed up with the store manager. Instead of refunding like I asked, she did what was most convenient for her. She moved my next payment to August 1 and did not refund me the money. I was very clear that I needed a refund. if someone asked for a refund and they are justified in that, it should just happen. No question. No work around. This was your error.While this is a minor inconvenience, It does throw me off my budget while I’m out of town for work and has put a bad taste in my mouth with how CRC conducts business. Mistakes happen. That’s fine. I don’t like that solution was to continue my inconvenience. Money is tight. I was excited to try the New York gym which is close to work. This has killed that excitement. While movement gyms are more expensive, when I’ve run into issues it’s always been handled professionally and with unexpected care to correct the issue. This experience has led me to believe that things like this will continue. I just tried to cancel my membership and the website won’t allow me to complete the request. I’ve already fulfilled my agreement. I just want to close the loop on this.

I really hate places that handle terminations or freezes like they do. You have to do it by the 15th of the prior month. There is no reason for this other than for profit. It's the modern day. You can update someone's membership status in a fraction of a second if you have a basic computer system set up, and you should have a basic computer system set up.

Usually climb at their Kennesaw location, but wanted to try this one out too. This location only had bouldering (which is a positive or a negative depending on who you are.) It’s smaller than most of the climbing gyms I’ve been to, but there are plenty of routes packed in, and the people here are really friendly. Definitely would recommend to people who want to boulder - no matter your skill level.

My first time bouldering was at this location. I came with my partner and we had a fantastic time. The atmosphere is welcoming, but I will say there is a substantial male majority (I heard it is different at the Kennesaw location where it is a 50/50). The front desk ladies were incredibly kind and supportive. The facilities are clean. Overall, I would totally recommend this place to anyone looking to get into rock climbing! I was very sore the next day, but it was so fun. I will be going back sometime soon!
