From the reviews

Super happy there's a gym out here! Though it does have only bouldering routes, there's a new set every Thursday. If you're jonesing for some top rope or lead, the Watertown gym isn't far. This is the easiest-graded gym I've been to in the CRG family, but honestly that's a boon.

★★★★★ — Mike, Dec 2021

This gym is awesome! Rock climbing is a great way to take the monotony out of staying in shape and this gym makes it especially fun. Staff is friendly, mats are clean, walls rotate every week, various yoga classes for all levels of experience and intensity. One of the cheaper locations to get a membership.

I LOVE CRG FRAMINGHAM!! I was introduced to this gym about two months ago by my friend, and now I am hooked and go almost every day. The clean facilities, friendly staff, and great walls with a wide range of problem difficulty keep me coming back as often as I do.

★★★★★ — Ben, Jun 2019

We have had and are having a wonderful experience at the Central Rock Gym in Framingham. We showed up with 7 teenagers from our school and the staff at the front desk couldn't have been nicer or more helpful even when half the kids forgot one thing or another.

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.
