From the reviews

I really enjoy each time I go to Coastal Climbing. I got the summer membership which is $190 for June-August. As a USC student, I am not home in Charleston during the school year. I found this to be fairly-priced as a normal membership would’ve been over $250 for the summer.

As someone who typically feels out of my depth in gyms, I was immediately impressed by the welcoming environment, knowledgable staff, and empowered climbers of all levels at Coastal.

Fun experience! There are 3 main areas- a tiny room upstairs about 10ft high, a large room with climbing walls measuring maybe 20ft and stretching area with floor to ceiling mirrors, and the last room that's the hardest with another climbing wall, climbing treadmill, weights, and some other equipment.

★★★★★ — Lili, Aug 2024

Great DIY-vibe gym with a lot of fun, thoughtful climbs. Boulders only, and the gym is generally pretty small but the route setting is great with a proper selection of holds. They have a kilter board and several other training boards, along with a pretty humble bench/dumbbell gym setup.
