Different than several other crg (Hadley, Framingham, Watertown, Randolph, Cambridge, Warwick) I’ve been to, crg Boston really utilize their volumes. It’s a small gym with no rope climbs around, but they renew quarter of climbs weekly, which I think is pretty enough. The grading is consistent and fair(for my level, v5-v6), easier than Cambridge, but either harder or the same as the other crgs I’ve been to. Because they use a lot of volumes, the problems become more interesting than the problems I’ve climbed in other crgs. Crg Boston is currently my favorite gym, and I suggest everyone to try it out.

Friendly staff! Great sets for climbing!Small gym but has very diverse climbs. This is currently the gym I go to the most! Since I live in Boston. I commute to north station and walk 20 seconds! It’s very accessible. And they have a over 14 age limit, after 3pm I believe. Making the crowd pretty mature at night. Which is great for socializing and meeting new people! Friendly environment!

The staff are extremely friendly and quick to respond to requests. I have attended two yoga classes there, Tuesdays at noon and Saturdays at 9:30am and enjoy them as well. The bouldering walls provide great variety in both difficulty and style. The workout equipment provides a place to pop into and workout too during the week between bouldering. Showers are great, plenty of space to workout and shower. People are friendly, great place to meet fellow climbers and learn from them as well.

Our home gym is the Randolph, MA location but this is super convenient after work since we work in Boston. Just as it is in Randolph, everyone is extremely nice, it is clean, and there are plenty of routes to work on (they change the routes quite often also!). Weve already brought our friends to this location several times and plan to continue doing so! Adding a location in the city was a great idea and the members who work here certainly appreciate it!

Awesome gym - lots of problems with a ton of variety. Helpful staff, chalk available, and a nice workout area. Only quibble would be the price, but given the area, its not unreasonable.

Started out here a month ago, and I’ve been having a really good time. I haven’t done any bouldering before, so I was a little nervous the first time; but it’s really easy to pick up, and quite challenging as you keep going.Pros- great location- affordable monthly rates- move at your own pace- members are really friendly- free chalk ( which I hear is a good thing )- membership perks

Been coming since it opened and this bouldering place has been great. They rotate 1/4 of the wall weekly so theres always something new to work on. Great challenges. The staff and atmosphere are fantastic

The boulder problems here are well rated, and although its a smaller gym this place always competes with others in the area.

I called last night to verify they would open at 6. They confirmed. I stood outside in the snow for 45 minutes this morning and nobody showed up to open. I finally caught an Uber to Rock Spot. Looked fun enough inside, but wasted a lot of time i could have been climbing.

Review №15

A downtown location that makes use of every available square foot to provide a bouldering gym that is both convenient and challenging.Central Rock Boston is a great example of working with the space you have, and while more BRs/Changing space would be an improvement, what they do deliver is amazing.

Cozy and cute gym. Extremely convenient from the T, and they seem very attentive to details in keeping the space nice and clean. Super smol but got everything I need for day-to-day bouldering and climbing-relevant physical training.

Love the new North End location of Central Rock. Main positives:- Very friendly and attentive staff- Great location and super accessible (North Station)- Nice balance of climbing grades- Routes are frequently reset (1/4 weekly)The gym is also very clean. Theres free chalk and a small area that incl. weights and a bench for regular workout. The only shortcoming is that it is a little small compared to other bouldering-only gyms, but given all the main positives I mentioned above, its absolutely worth it and has become one of my favorite Central Rock gyms.

Fun bouldering gym with great access to the T. The gym includes boulder problems that are rotated on a weekly basis. There is limited fitness equipment so prepare to be on the wall. So far, great community, staff and facility.

This is a small gym with bouldering only, but Im a big fan. Theres fun route setting in the v2-v3 range Im climbing, its clean, and the occasional free coffee, snacks, and pizza nights give a friendly feeling.

Small spot for bouldering only, but you can’t beat the convenience. Offers free chalk as well as bandaids and antiseptic if you mess up your skin, which is good because the walls and holds are quite new and still sharp. Not much gear for sale, 2 kinds of shoe. Still a newbie myself, but I’d rate their grading on VB to V3 as harder than BKB, and a bit easier than the CRG in Cambridge. Not a ton of diverse wall geometry, but some nice problems even at the lower grades. There’s a V11 set right now if you’re an absolute beast.
