From the reviews
VX is by far one of the best recreational facilities I've been to. Tried it out with a friend this summer having only been a few times in my life up to that point.
Has a lot of great challenges. Coming from California, I am impressed with the types of challenges this gym has. It has an array of different angled walls. Also the staff and owner are extremely nice and helpful.
It is my favorite place to exercise. The staff are the greatest, they always make you feel welcome. And they are always willing to help out with any tips or tricks to help you learn to climb. The classes they offer are outstanding as well and I will suggest this place everytime.
I just started rock climbing at this place a few months ago and I can't get enough of it. This place is great for beginners, really accessible climbing routes for first-day people and some difficult climbs for veterans. The gym has auto-belay systems, top-roping, and bouldering.
