Central Rock Gym

Great climbing gym. I am a member of the Worcester branch and have been once to the Watertown location but was not disappointed. Routes there are set a bit harder due to several high skilled climbers at the region. Very large. Has an interesting overhang over a inclined floor that is almost a top roping path with no rope.

What a great place! The belay staff were really patient with my nervous 5 year old, and encouraged him on whatever wall he was willing try. We will definitely be back!

Like many gyms, could use better ventilation; it could also use a real shower in the men's dressing room. Less grungy than Metro Rocks a somewhat more upscale looking. The bouldering gym and yoga studio are nice fringe benefits. The requirement to pay for a one time membership fee, that also requires a 10$/month fee to be kept active if one doesn't climb for a month, reveals a focus on profitability, which I find demeaning....but so spins the Earth.

One of the biggest climbing gyms in the states and a start of the art facility. Love how there aren't any auto belays. Definitely a great gym for the price.

Nice sized gym for prices that are fairly reasonable. If you're not an avid climber, the staff seems to be welcoming and people are friendly to help you get off your feet. If you're an experienced climber, this gym has lots of wall space; tall, overhung lead walls; ample top rope and bouldering; and cardio and strength fitness equipment. Membership includes access to several other gyms in the area and numerous fitness classes (yoga, spin, core...). The setting of routes is pretty good and done without frequency, on a schedule. The place is kept pretty clean and they always seem to be making improvements. I've been to a lot of climbing gyms around the country and these gyms are some of the best all around.
