From the reviews
The best kept secret in Philadelphia is the Fishtown branch of PRG. I started climbing here almost 2 years ago and it has completely changed my life. I have learned a new skill, been surrounded by the kindest souls, and made the most incredible friends. This isn't a gym, it's a community.
We had a fantastic experience with the instructor for my 8 and 11 yr old daughters. We had the family introductory pass. I would highly recommend this facility and the staff were very welcoming and helpful.
Super friendly staff. Climbs and movement were fun and challenging. Setting/grading felt old school/outdoorsy leaning a bit sand-bagged, but kinda anticipated that. Given the limited space they do a great job of saturating the walls. Gotta take a star off for the dank weight area.
I’m a total beginner and I really appreciate that the PRG staff is super welcoming and helpful. The facility is also great! New routes are set timely and the space is clean — plus the playlists are full of straight bangers.

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.
