Great rock climbing gym. Didnt get to test out the actual fitness area but the bouldering was fun as a beginner while watching others do more complex maneuvers.
Enjoyed a few hours here with 2 purchased day passes on a Wednesday. Boulder, weights and work outs were fun. Unfortunately we werent able to do belay because we were informed by staff that there wasnt a class going on for that day to instruct us on how to use the equipment and spot each other. I did observe staff help out what appeared to be smaller camp children while we were there which is great. We look forward to returning soon.
Beautiful gym! Amazing staff. Clean and safe environment. Kid friendly too! A full gym inside that is included free with your membership which is a huge perk!
Awesome people awesome staff awesome climbs. So close to getting this v8 there xD
Really a fantastic gym, great staff, great community and theyre putting in a lot of effort to make it as safe as possible during covid.
Great variety of climbing, frequently changed routes, amazing staff, and lots of events to keep things fresh. Very open to all skill levels, and a very welcoming community. Heavily recommend checking here put if youre looking at getting in to climbing. Rental rates are affordable if you dont have your own gear
The folks at CRG are doing an incredibly thorough job at opening their doors and keeping us safe during this pandemic. Strong work!!!
Was looking for an establishment to have a fun birthday party for all ages and sizes. The kids ranged from 15 to 4. This place had it all!! From the amazing wall climbs meant for kids (adult ones also) to the wonderful personable staff. The staff, I can honestly say, was one of the highlights. They were so encouraging yet patient. From teaching them how to climb better to remembering all the kids names in the party. The party room was huge!! They even let us stay later since there was not another party after us. Highly highly recommend this place. So much fun and all the kids can not wait to go back!
Having climbed in gyms all over the country including all of the Rochester area facilities, the Central Rock Gym chain is among the top places to visit nationwide for those looking for indoor rock climbing, fitness, and yoga. Staff are super friendly and professional and highly skilled route setting occurs daily on modern bouldering and roped areas with the best climbing holds in the industry. The dedicated kids section is great for little ones just starting out. Use of the full fitness and yoga studios are included in your day pass. Whether youre brand new ton the sport or a seasoned climber, Central Rock Gym Rochester offers something for everyone and should be the first and only place to visit when in the greater Rochester area.
This rock climbing gym is absolutely the best place to go rock climbing in the Greater Rochester area hands-down!!!!!!!
Awesome climbing gym! Great community.
Its a great place for a variety of climbing. They offer classes, a top rope class, a bouldering section, a lead climbing class, yoga, and they have a gym with free weights and barbells. The only thing I think they could benefit from is adding a slab to their bouldering area. The staff is very helpful and friendly, and so are the other climbers. The routes change often enough to keep things fresh, and stay long enough to get ample time on them. I go 3 or 4 days a week, and feel its definitely worth the money.
Customer service OFF THE CHARTSFacility out of this world.Great for partiesHad my daughters 9th birthday party there. The two staff who were assigned to our party were incredible. Motivated all the kids to overcome their fears without being pushy.
Great climbing gym and a good addition to the Rochester area for sure. The routes are fun and unique. All the staff are extremely friendly, the facility is clean and welcoming, and the sense of community is strong. This climbing gym attracts those of all ages and abilities. Highly recommend checking it out!
Best rock climbing in the area. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff, large bouldering area, top roping routes for beginners and advanced climbers, free yoga and fitness classes for members. Great atmosphere.
Last fall I decided it was time to get active again. I tried out a lot of gyms and settled on this one for several reasons:-Amazing customer service-Friendly and helpful staff-Informative classes-Welcoming to beginners without sacrificing challenges for intermediate climbers-Constantly changing top rope routes and boulder problems-Weight room with cardio equipment and yoga studio included in membership-Fun community eventsI practically live at Central Rock Gym now and Id recommend them to anyone whos looking to try rock climbing, get a unique workout, or train to improve their climbing skills.
Been here a few times with day passes and enjoy the variety of routes from top rope to bouldering along with just how well kept the new facilities are. They also have a fitness room and yoga classes. I would totally get a membership here but as a student I dont enough time to come often enough for the price as they are on the pricier end of options in Rochester (though they do have student discounts!)
AMAZING CLIMBING GYM!I am a first time climber, and heard about this gym from a friend. I expected to climb for a day, enjoy it a little, and move on with my life. I ended up signing up for a monthly membership after my first day. The gym is enormous. As a beginner, there are plenty of walls for me to choose from. Difficulty of each wall is clearly marked, which makes choosing which walls to climb very simple. There are walls I can do easily, walls I can struggle on, and walls that I cant dream of completing a single move. There is something for everyone. Admittedly, I have not taken full advantage of the bordering section, but it is equally as big, and well marked. Besides top rope, lead climbing, and bordering there is a very well stocked gym and yoga classes. I have barely scratched the surface of what the gym has to offer, but I would rather go here 4 times a week then a conventional gym. Lastly, staff is friendly, helpful, and overall awesome. Welcome to Rochester!
The staff is welcoming. Its a great place to climb no matter what level. With bouldering, top rope, and lead climbing they have something for everyone. They update routes often!
Great climbing gym! Wonderful and helpful staff. Everyone is friendly and willing to help with any questions and concerns you may have. New/fun routes are always being put up so there’s always something for everyone to try
Very friendly staff & clean facility. Offers a wide range of climbing - so there’s something for everyone there. Offers lots of great yoga classes as well.
Checked this place out two weeks ago and fell in love. The best gym in Rochester. The staff is amazing and super helpful. Plus the yoga and fitness classes are great for climbers of all levels.
This is definitely the best climbing gym in Rochester. There is a wide selection of bouldering and sport routes for climbers of almost all levels. The staff is great and super friendly. There are yoga, strength, and climbing progression classes that are included with a membership that seem like a great way to improve ones climbing. I love this gym and have been going 2-3 (sometimes 4) times a week since they opened in March.
Excellent climbing gym. Prices are a bit steep, but you get what you pay for! Even a nice gym for people to work out and run on treadmills while viewing other climbers. Pretty cool.
Beautiful gym. Great climbing for a broad range of ability and ages. Very friendly and helpful staff. More expensive than some of the other gyms in the area, but well worth it for the added amenities of a fitness room, yoga, bouldering, top rope, lead, and a kids space.
MORE THAN A GYM: To put it simply, this is a genius way of exercising. But more than that it is a lifestyle of self improvement. You will find a community that fully supports people who want to get into climbing. A great place to go hangout with good people and get strong at the same time!
This is an awesome addition to Rochester! A great selection of bouldering and belay routes, from easy to challenging. The staff is super friendly and helpful. And, if you wanna learn, they offer classes (belaying, bouldering, and yoga), much of it for free for members.As a member, equipment rental is free (at least at the moment), which was great as a baby climber (no need to buy stuff right away). Lockers are free, parking right in front of the gym, and all in the middle of the town. Super convenient and open from early morning to late at night. My partner and I are there about three times a week for 1-2h--its great after a work day!Oh, and if you got some bubbas, theres a kids area with a kickers table and climbs with timers. Ill be updating this once theyve settled in. Now all they need is an excellent espresso bar (Ugly Duck @ Rock Climbing? Yes?)
My Xanadu.Xanadu - an idealized place of great or idyllic magnificence and beauty. Since Central Rock Gym opened up in Rochester it has completely consumed my free time - and I wouldnt have it any other way. The staff are friendly, the climbing flows very well, and Ive made some great friends in the process. Its also great way to de-stress after a long work or school day
I came for a gym and found a community. This place is much more than just fitness, conditioning, yoga, and climbing. Perhaps its the attitudes of the type of person that is into this sport, but the other members and the staff are phenomenal. Everyone supports you, not only in your climbs, but I also found/continue to find support while dealing with a heavy personal loss. Thank you to the entire community here. ️️
Big fan. Knowledgeable and helpful. Suuuuupppper nice staff and friendly patrons. It has that community feel that makes the spooky heights less spooky. Gym has what you need. Oh, and yoga there too. I haven’t yoga’d, but people seem pumped after the class let’s out :) They update routes often but not often enough where I have to rush to conquer something. They also post the rotations. There’s also activity nights, like once they had coffee and climbing. All sorts of competitions keeps it all spicy. Again, big fan.
Absolutely love it here! The yoga and gym and great and the climbing is fantastic! The super friendly staff make it an awesome and super inclusive environment! Huge thanks to everyone who makes this gym what it is!
Get the membership. Its so worth it.
As a relatively new climber I was amazed when I first stepped foot into the gym when it opened about a month and a half ago. This place has everything I could ever need between bouldering, top rope, lead, a weight room, and a yoga studio, it even has a kids area. The routes and boulders are reset frequently so there are always fresh things to climb. The staff, as well as other climbers, are very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. While a membership here is slightly more money than other places in Rochester with all CRG offers the little extra is certainly worth it.
Great gym. Friendly staff, clean and always changing routes. Downfall is that they make it really hard to bring anyone new for just a day of top rope climbing since belay classes need to be scheduled and take over an hour. This hour is not due to extra instruction but instead because you have to wait for many other people to be checked and tested on each section.
Best rock climbing gym in town! The atmosphere is just superb, and they change the problems so so often!
Best place to climb in Rochester. We bring our 3 year old and he loves it. Staff is very welcoming and helpful. As a beginner climber I felt very comfortable.
Not a bad gym! Solid holds, some fun routes. Super pleasant staff. But if youre looking for a more serious gym with and more complex routes and consistent gradings, then try a different gym. Other main gyms are Rockventures in Rochester or Red Barn in Henrietta (only bouldering). This is a climbing gym, but not a gym for seasoned climbers -- good place to start if you havent climbed a ton
Great place to try something new! Everyone around is willing to give you pointers and they make the act of climbing less intimidating than it seems!
This is a super fun place to to climbing. Theres a large variety of route and Boulder styles and the building is brand new. The Staff is really nice and I would definitely recommend coming here. Will be purchasing a membership when I get back next year for school.
One of the best gyms Ive ever been to. Almost every climb Ive tried has been really fun, no matter what difficulty. Super friendly staff and community.
Really great rock climbing gym. Best staff and facilities in the area
Best place to climb in Rochester, plenty of variety climbs(lead boulder and sport) sets are great. Facility is very clean and staff are super nice. Great for all ages, beginner to advance.
Really awesome place to climb. The gym is beautiful and new, and the staff are awesome and friendly. I come here to climb every weekend and I love it!
I’ve been climbing for years and I’ve never found a gym I love as much as CRG. The staff as well as the community are top notch and they offer so much more than rocks on walls. It’s hands down my favorite place to be in all of Rochester.
Great place to climb have been here going on 3 months now and have no plan to stop anytime soon!
Huge bouldering section, lead climbing, great routes for beginners to advanced climbers. All Rogue equipment in their free weight & cardio area. They even have a shower. Cant ask for anything more from a climbing gym.
My favorite climbing gym in Rochester! Just moved here from Connecticut and was happy to see that there is a CRG in my hometown now!
Amazing place. Mellow vibe. Great staff
Good collection of top rope and bouldering. Even has a great gym. There is a locker room with showers available.
Central rock gym - Worcester - was the first gym I climbed at years ago. I was thrilled to hear that they were opening a location in Rochester, and it doesnt disappoint! Clean, friendly, and plenty of challenges!
Great place to climb at! High quality facilities and a great community

An excellent new climbing gym in Rochester. Friendly staff, wide variety of climbing and workout activities (bouldering, top rope, lead, workout/yogo rooms, and a kids area. Best climbing gym Rochester has to offer!
Went here having never done it before. Was a blast, employees and other climbers are super nice. Great fun
11/1010/10 for the size, setting, helpful staff, and quality intro classes. Extra +1 for recommending excellent barbeque (GoodSmoke in East Rochester) when I asked.
Yo this place is sick. Super central location in town so I dont have to drive far out to Henrietta. Fantastic setting, offering challenges for all levels. Killer staff - mostly all my friends, plus a great place to chill with homies and meet new ones too! Weight room, yoga, lead climbing, bouldering, but definitely no shenanigans. 10/10 would whip.
Awesome place! Staff was really friendly. Definitely will check out again!
I cant stay away. Its a one stop shop for fitness filled with friendly, knowledgeable staff and people in general
