You can quit your gym if you join, they do have weight room.

Ive been a member for a few years now and despite the price tag, it is worth it if you use their services. The wall paths are updated weekly, so it stays relatively fresh, but gives you time to work out problems before they go away. The traditional workout equipment is usually accessible and open, albeit not a ton of equipment compared to a planet fitness or other weight gym. The yoga classes are great and going to 4 a month anywhere else would cost just as much as the monthly membership. Lastly, the just installed a new Kilter board for unique problem solving, so you know They're always trying to make the experience better. Im actually about to head there now, but if youre curious, try the day pass. 25$ will get you access to everything they have, and at certain times, you can actually get the "rest" of the month for the cost of a day pass if you sign up. Lengthy, but i hope this helps!

Haven't been in 10 years but used to love it. Check it out for sure

I love central rock gym! It is a bit pricy, but you get a lot for it. They have full weight rooms as well as yoga and climbing classes included. Staff are super helpful and friendly. Some gyms have routes set by the community but central rock gym has professional route setters do all of theirs so you end up with some pretty cool ones. They also reset walls regularly so there’s always something new to try. You also get access to all of their gyms, so it can be fun to take a little drive and try out some completely new walls.

Watertown is the biggest CRG that I’ve been to. They have a huge lead wall and pretty much everything you could want.

Framingham was my home gym for a while. It’s all bouldering and it’s a bit smaller but it’s definitely the best bouldering around.

The one in Worcester has a bit of everything. It’s a good size and it’s a great place to start out for someone new to climbing. They have auto belays, and the whole second floor is dedicated to beginner climbs. They also have more than enough challenging routes for more experienced climbers.

It's expensive, but they also have a normal gym now, so it's worth it for both.

I climbed there for three years in college. Now that I've graduated I'd still pay the membership price if I still lived in the area. They're relatively reasonable for what you pay and what you get, especially in a major city. For context: the gym I'm now at in New Jersey is $110 month-to-month and the one I was at in Maine this summer was $95/month.

I’ve been a member for about 6 months - it’s been great. Climbed at Watertown for most of that, recently moved closer to Worcester so migrated there.

Didn’t have prior climbing experience, good environment to grow in. Access to the other gyms in the area is a nice way to try new routes if you have some time on the weekend (Cambridge gym is creative but crazy hard).

I’ve only heard good things.
