From the reviews
I am a member since it was just a project, I was not very happy with the transition from BKB to Bouldering Project but things are settled now. The staff is just amazing. I climb with my 6y and my 10y, they always enjoy themselves and have done the camps.
Great bouldering spot in DC proper! Staff members are super friendly, relatively clean facilities, and routes are reset very regularly. Variety of community events hosted throughout the month, which makes this place a wonderful third space.
Bouldering Project Eckington is an amazing gym. The long wall called The Beast was a challenge and highlight of my visit. Great variety of routes, friendly staff, and a strong community vibe.
I can only speak of the bouldering parts of this gym and not the yoga parts. I came in as a one-time visitor and thought that a $35 day pass was very steep, even though they included free rentals for me as a first-time visitor.
