From the reviews
Honestly such an amazing gym! The community is super friendly and it truly feels like a second home. I've made countless new friends and grown exponentially ever since I began climbing here. Everybody is so supportive, making this gym an excellent place to train and to hang out.
City Climb Gym is amazing! You can expect to be welcomed into this gym by kind and caring individuals (staff and members) that are extremely encouraging to one another and always happy to lend a helping hand. Climbing is such a good form of exercise, and this gym has a great community.
I have to admit I feel better about myself after I completed a few of those walls, it being me and my BFs first time doing this we had fun & I found out he's spider man which is dope, we deff plan on coming back after we pop and heal the blisters on our hands as well as finish picking the massive wedgies we got.
This is a New Haven gem for anyone looking for an authentic rock climbing experience indoors. The staff is amazing! Always encouraging and supportive no matter what your level of climbing is.
