Great climbing gym. I believe, at the time of this writing, it is the newest gym in the CRG group.I am decreasing 1 star for, what I believe, is a silly design choice in the gym: They have a concrete walkway between the mats that separate the bouldering and top rope walls. It seems insignificant, but when you are wearing agros you do not want to be walking on a hard floor.

Ive had a gym membership at Central Rock Warwick for almost half a year now. I love this place. They offer so much, the staff is awesome, helpful and friendly, and they offer so many styles of climbs and levels. Always keeping things fresh. 5 stars for sure

Shawn and Margo were super nice. I love this facility and I loved the climbing class I took with Ryan. The community seems fabulous and the climbing is great! I just moved to RI so I am psyched to find an awesome gym like this.

Excellent rock gym with a regular gym and yoga studio built into the membership. Staff is friendly, and the routes are quite nice. It can get busy on weeknights, but theres usually enough for everyone to enjoy.

Friendly staff, good route setting and it seems like the gym has a fast turn around so new routes are getting set all the time! They also have a nice weight room if you are into that sort of thing.

CRG is one of the first rock climbing gyms Ive been to, and so I didnt even realize how lucky I was to live near it until I got more into climbing and explored other (not as great) gyms. The walls are clean and spacious, theres lots of variety, the staff are friendly and make an effort to remember patrons, and Ive never felt like its too crowded. Sometimes when its warm they open up this big door in the back of the gym, and its wonderful to climb with all that fresh air. Most climbers are courteous and fun to be around, and theres a whole range of ages. I bought both my shoes and the beginner package with a harness, ATC, and chalk bag here, where members get a discount their first month. CRG Warwick has been a fantastic place to climb!!!

This is the Best Rock Gym by far in Rhode Island. The routes range from 5.6 - 5.11+ and get changed on a regular basis. If you are into Bouldering or some awesome Vertical Routes, this is the place to go! The gym is always clean and the staff is super friendly and helpful. Time to get out of the house and have some fun Playing with Gravity.

I went during a promotion they had going where it was free for college students. It was beyond worth it. They had a free tutorial on how to belay, they gave us free rental of shoes and a harness. The staff was the best and super helpful with walking my girlfriend and I through everything. Jaime my instructor was a super cool dude as well. The place was pretty big and spacious. They had some good music playing while you climb or workout. Definitely a great time to just hang out with some friends, or get a good work out in. So much to offer. Definitely worth checking out if youre in the area.

I’ve been to plenty of rock climbing gyms, and this has been my absolute favorite. Admittedly, other gyms have better facilities (bigger lead walls, more boulder walls, etc.), but when climbing at those I always find myself missing the CRG in Warwick. Everyone who works and climbs there is incredibly friendly and caring, and that’s a huge part of why I love climbing. Below are some more specific pros and cons I’ve observed after climbing at the CRG in Warwick for over a year and a half.I’m a college student who will graduate soon, and I find myself worrying about finding a new gym I love as much as CRG Warwick. I originally chose between Rockspot and CRG, and I’m so glad I ended up at CRG.PROS-The climbing is great. Routes are reset regularly; they’re reset well and with care, and I can always find something both challenging and engaging. This should be one’s main consideration in climbing gyms, and CRG Warwick certainly ticks that box with ease.-Routes align with colored plastic holds. I hate routes marked with tape with a passion, so this is a plus.-The social atmosphere at the gym is wonderful, largely because of the wonderful people who work there.-The lighting in the gym is great at all times of the day. This can seem like a minor detail, but for me a well-lit gym is fundamental for winter training.-The walls and holds are very new, so the friction is great (prepares your skin for granite really well too!).-The fitness room has everything I want, from free-weights to a tension board, from treadmills to circuits and campus boards.-The bathroom is always clean and there’s a great shower if you need it (bring your own towel).-There is a sufficient variety of overhung and slabby walls, for both bouldering and ropes.-The membership has tons of free classes that I’ve never used. That option is wonderful and it’s cool how many options I have. Also, as a CRG member, you have free access to climbing gyms all over the north east. I went to NYC for a weekend and climbed for free in their Manhattan gym.CONS-The grades are pretty soft, particularly for the boulders. This is fine, so long as they are consistent, but sometimes the grades feel on par with outside, and sometimes they feel like CRG Warwick grades. Overall, a minor issue.-The majority of the boulders finish by grabbing the top of the wall. This is fun (if in doubt, dyno to the top!), but hasn’t prepared me well for more technical outdoor top outs when climbing my limit (more air starts would be great).-I believe there is only one route setter. Others help him, to be sure, but I find that I’ve gotten pretty accustomed to his overall style. Of course, I love all the routes and have no complaints about the climbs themselves, but some more variety in setter-vision would help me progress as a well-balanced climber.-The lead wall is not as tall as other gyms, and the boulder walls miss out on more extreme overhangs. That being said, I don’t find myself wishing for them.

CRG Warwick is the best climbing facility in the Rhode Island area for three important reasons.The staff at CRG Warwick are extremely friendly and welcoming to all climbers of all ability levels. The staff actively interact with members, ask for feedback on the facility, and maintain a safe and fun environment. Jamie and Sean are always willing to put down whatever theyre doing to help you out. This location is where I learned how to climb and by the end of my first visit, I already felt like a regular.The climbing at CRG Warwick has something for everyone. Boulders range from V0 - V12 and top rope climbs range from 5.5 - 5.13. The setting at CRG Warwick is perhaps one of my favorite parts of the facility in contrast with other climbing gyms in RI and other CRG facilities. The routes are fun to climb, varied in their styles, and have wonderful flow. The routes do not rely on gimmicks or overly parkour-esque movements to generate interest, but rather task the climber to employ good technique and body position to send a route. If you do enjoy more competition style setting, CRG Warwick does offer this style too, its just not the majority of routes. I also feel like Im improving as a climber when I climb here--Steve, the head route setter, knows how to set high quality routes and boulders for all ability levels, shapes, and sizes. Boulders and roped climbs are reset each week. CRG Warwick also has a lot of modern and new holds as well as a large assortment of volumes and wall shapes for a variety of climbs.Finally, the facility is wonderful. Its spacious, very clean, well lit, and constantly updated. About once a month CRG Warwick is improving something. There are clean, spacious bathrooms, a fitness room with plenty of equipment, a yoga studio, showers, a kitchen area with a fridge and microwave, and a kids climbing area. The other climbers at CRG Warwick are friendly and welcoming. Every time I climb there it seems like a make a new friend.If youre new to climbing, new to the area, or looking for a new home gym--I strongly recommend visiting CRG Warwick. The staff is nice, the facility is new and updated, and the climbing is fun, varied, always evolving. Come check it out!

Boulder only here, no autos. Probably not too friendly for beginners I suppose. But a legit place for boulder lovers.
