  • First timer? bouldering needs zero experience — rent shoes and walk in; staff will point you at the easiest problems

From the reviews

My friends and I visit the wellness center often to enjoy the excellent climbing wall. Though we are not students, the wall is made accessible to community members at very affordable costs, which can include all the necessary gear. The center is staffed with friendly, cheerful, professional people.

Good staff, decent equipment, and I love their indoor track. I guess the only downside is that they dont have membership opportunities for the community but that's understandable. Since they don't want to take competition away from the other local gyms.

★★★★★ — Litzy, Dec 2019

Really nice gym facilities! Their pool is great and I absolutely love the climbing wall! It’s awesome how you learn the correct terminology and how to belay before being able to climb, made me feel much safer!
