“There is also a great general workout area, a high quality coffee shop (Hatchet Coffee) sharing the building, and a beautiful communal lobby.”
“The vibes were super chill, members are super friendly, good price for a day pass, and would totally rock their cropped sweatshirt 😆.”
From the reviews
Best problem setting of any gym I've been to, and casual, friendly staff. They reset part of the gym every week, and power wash the holds every time they reset. There is also a great general workout area, a high quality coffee shop (Hatchet Coffee) sharing the building, and a beautiful communal lobby.
I love the people, the quality of the setting, and the open atmosphere. The gym also provides a moon board, hang boards, and a work out area. It's a great place to boulder and train.
I wish I could go here every day! Center 45 is easy to find right off of Bamboo Road and is right next to Cutty Bage tattoo shop and hatchet coffee. Upon entering you are greeted by the friendly staff and told about the specials and deals they have going on.
Great atmosphere! I have never felt as at home at a gym as I do at Center 45. Staff is all kind and helpful and the community you can find here is unique and awesome. A great gym for a variety of ages and walks of like and all types of skill levels.
Birthday parties at Center 45 - Climbing and Fitness
Center 45 - Climbing and Fitness hosts birthday parties — confirmed on their own site. Climbing parties come with staff who handle the harnesses and belaying, so parents can mostly watch. One thing that's different here: every guest needs a signed waiver — send the gym's waiver link to the other parents when you send invites, or check-in day gets slow. Packages, party rooms, and pricing change often, so check the current options and book ahead — weekend slots go fast at popular gyms.
Kids classes & camps at Center 45 - Climbing and Fitness
Reviews and the gym's own info mention kids programs at Center 45 - Climbing and Fitness — climbing classes, school-break camps, or a youth team where kids learn technique from coaches instead of just scrambling around. Program schedules and age groups change each season, so check the current lineup before you plan around one.
