Cancelled membership on May 14 via email and have been charged every month since. Sent emails to owner every month and he assures me they aren’t charging me. I dispute the transactions every month and have reported them to the BBB. Finally decided to deal with the inconvenience of cancelling the card since they will not stop charging me. Terrible customer service.

My brother was in town visiting and he does rock climbing in Alaska, so he brought me to check it out. I learned that day that I was not built for rock climbing.

However, the facility was really cool. There were other climbers there, not much interaction with the people who run it (not entirely sure who did). I did my best and glad to say I experienced it but I think I was made for a regular gym. Would recommend to anyone who is interested in the sport but it wasn't for me.

They have walls for different skills levels that progressively get harder. Different setups to test/train grip strength, lots of padding everywhere, and safety tethers for the walls. You can rent equipment if you need like shoes and the tether stuff.

My biggest complaint is they didn't have a working water fountain.

I would certainly like to give a better rating than this but the aerial silks class my sister and I visited doesn't warrant a good rating. Lack of structure, you see that term in multiple other reviews. It's accurate. I saw the two young lady instructors (seemed very young, possibly high school or college age) referencing a laminated sheet/binder for class and it was all over the place. Their ages wouldn't normally bother me, if they had shown professionalism and business acumen. I performed difficult jobs when I was quite young, that's not the issue. If they had been bubbly, warm, and executing a solid game plan for the class, we would have likely overlooked it.

That was not the case.

When we first arrived on time, there was no one there yet in terms of students. Slowly other women trickled in (a total of 5 students, 2 instructors), and my sister and I had to wait for everyone to be ready. Then the gossiping and chit chat started back and forth between the instructors and one of the attendees.

It was like high school cliques discussing the latest drama.
This contributed to the feeling of being taught by unqualified teachers.

Once we did get their attention, the dark haired young lady (I won't give her name) motioned for us to move from the wall to the center of the room and do "the warmup". The blonde haired young lady, while seemingly surely talented, simply did a few complex moves on the silks while others waited around, and actually badly rope burned her underarms while we watched. The brunette seemed like she could honestly care less that we were new students and kept checking her phone or apple watch. No one really welcomed us at all once past the front desk.

Of course, being new students we didn't know what the "warm up" was and had to make a face and slight joking comment before anyone explained. Then the instructors watched us warm up back and forth and didn't even do it with us. My sister and I were getting tired and we're not as flexible, and got a few seemingly passive aggressive sneers from the instructors again.

To sum up our experience, we felt like we were being sneered at by popular girls at school or something. There was checking phones, talking about this party and that, and "oh no she didn't!".

Then the class didn't even have enough silks up for everyone to use, so you waste a majority of your time waiting for your turn going up in the air over mats that are quite worn and old.

I can't justify paying upwards of $150 a month for classes that lack professionalism, certified and welcoming teachers, the proper equipment, and a decent cooling system.

Towards the end of the class, the girls leading it were sweeter and perhaps they needed time to open up. But it came across as unaccepting and cold. We haven't gone back.

Friendly staff, good route setting, plenty of training equipment could make this gym a great gym. However, the temperature of the building is something I’ve never seen in any other climbing gym.

The nature of this sport requires cooler temperatures to achieve success in training or outdoor performance. Thus terms like ‘sending temps’, and the division of times of year into the ‘season’ and ‘off-season’. During the season, temps are cool, climbing outdoors is fun, the rock grabs back, etc. When it gets too hot, indoor training is turned to as a relief from the heat, and preparation for the outdoor season begins anew. At this particular gym, there is no relief from the relentless summer temps of the South; training requires sweating through 85-90 degree indoor temperatures if you wish to climb in Columbus, as there are no other gym options. It’s not as if the heat will make you ‘tougher’. In reality, the opposite is true; if you can’t hang on (due to sweat) to do the work, you won’t be able to train effectively.

Again, great place minus the absurd temps.

LOVE LOVE LOVE treadstone and their aerial silks instructors! Sarah and Maknleigh are my favs! Norma is so great! They’re all SO motivational! Safety is their #1 goal. I’ve fallen on the mats a few times accidentally (because that’s what happens sometimes when you’re LEARNING) and never once have I gotten hurt! The treadstone flyers team is great at what they do, it’s like a home away from home <3

Aerial Instructors are not certified to teach. Classes lack structure and pre-planning. Mats are worn down and not safe to help prevent injury in case of a fall. (I know of 2 incidents, 1 being my own while I was a student and the other was equipment malfunction that both head instructors knew about).

I was with the gym for over 3 years, and while at first I loved it, the true colors of management and it’s employees is very apparent. It seems obvious that they lack maturity and understanding of the whole situation. I have 8 pages that detailed safety concerns and other things that apparently I was supposed to know as a student then a minimum wage employee. (Concerns that I would have never been aware of had I not taken the initiative to get certified- but apparently the owner has years of experience in aerial arts and knows the “mother of aerial silks” so it’s not important). I voiced my concerns to those above me but was continually dismissed. After being told many times in some way that my age was somehow a factor in my ability to coach/raise or my age and apparently gender was a reason for a demerit. Having a co-worker tell a student not to listen to my suggestions because “she doesn’t know what she’s doing” but promoting the program off my success in competitions and other ventures…am I disgruntled? Sure! Months and months of this type of treatment would eventually make anyone angry.

I loved the Aerial Silks classes when I first began and always had a wonderful time, but after about a year I had to start teaching myself and even had to help teach classes that I was paying for. Aerial has been and will continue to be a huge part of my life, but hopefully now at a gym in which the management and employees are encouraging, supportive, and more over have respect.

I hope the program grows under properly trained instructors and with proper safety measurements. I had many great memories here and loved taking classes with Norma when she was teaching classes!

Treadstone is awesome! Really fun boulder problems with tons of low and mid-difficulty problems. The auto-belay systems take a bit getting used to but the gym has top and lead as well. Only complaint is the wall is rather short so even climbing problems feel more like high-ball boulders with protection. Also there is nothing above a 5.10 on the auto belays at the time of posting but there are up to 5.12 on lead which is far longer as the wall extends onto the roof.

Treadstone ROCKS! I took a squad of 6-8 year olds for a birthday event and they loved it. There was plenty of things to do including rock-wall climbing, parkour area where they played Shark (tag), and a ninja warrior like area.

The staff is A+. Extremely friendly and practically bend over backwards to do as much as possible to make your experience amazing.

If all this wasn't enough to convince you, did I mention they allow you to come before official opening hours so you have the place to yourself. Well worth the money and surely beats the boring bowling, trampoline event you were planning on.

When out in public, your employees should respect the mask/social distancing policies and requirements of other businesses.

In reply: This happened right before Christmas, so I can't remember exactly what your crew member said. I saw him get out of a gray pickup with your Treadstone decals (large, like it was a company vehicle) and enter the Barnes & Noble at Columbus Park Crossing. He was approached by an employee of the store because he was not wearing a mask and politely asked to please wear one of he was going to shop there. I cannot remember exactly what he said in response, but I do remember how rude it was and the impression I left with me about what your company's attitude might be regarding the safety measures everyone should be taking during this pandemic. Even if masks aren't being required at your place of business, that is no reason to be publicly rude to employees at a business that is requiring them.

So we started going here for a new experience for the kids. They have climbing walls for all levels of experience. They allow you to rent equipment if you don’t have any or you can use your own. We had my sons birthday here as well. Staff is knowledgeable and don’t make you feel unwelcomed. Great time for all. Keep an eye out and they do sell an annual pass for those who like to climb a lot, but may not have to ability to always travel out of town. Highly recommended if you want to go more than once or twice a month.

My 10 year old loves this place! We purchased the day pass, so we climbed for a while left and went back later. The ninja course could some work but still has obstacles that can be done. To me the ninja course isn't very kid friendly, seems a little hard but my son had fun trying. The climbing walls are great with different levels of difficulty and they have several. They even have a small workout area so if you're like me and have to get it in you can do so while you're child climbs! Oh yeah, the parcore area is amazing! Your child can parcore all over place, make their own obstacles and just have fun jumping from object to object. They also have mats for safety. The place was clean and staff is super nice and helpful. Definitely recommend this place!

PRICE INCREASE - I love Treadstone and have climbed there many many times traveling from Auburn, AL. Great staff, loved the boulders. However, now that the price has greatly increased to $22.50 (for students, regular adults are $25) I will not be coming anymore. I would rather just go to Birmingham Boulders where it’s $14 for students and $16 for adults. Or Stone Summit in Atlanta where it’s $17 for everyone with much more climbing. The price increase is absolutely absurd, I recommend lowering them back down because many of my friends have expressed that they also will not be coming to Treadstone anymore.

Signed up for the Intro to Climbing class on a Wednesday. I was fortunate enough to be the only one in the class due to some people cancelling. The staff is extremely helpful from the time you walk in till you leave.
My instructor was knowledgeable and started off showing me all the different routes, types of holds, bouldering, and how to use the ropes and harness. He had me climbing an easy route within 5 minutes. After the first route we moved on to a harder version. Climbed a total of 6 different routes. The instructor motivated me the whole time while also giving helpful instructions.
There are plenty of routes and ropes to accommodate many people at once. The bouldering wall, in my opinion, is rather large also to allow many different people on there at once.
I would recommend this facility to anyone wanting to experience indoor rock climbing for the first time or even if you are an experienced climber.

I feel obligated to post a review of Treadstone Climbing though I have never climbed at their facility. I have done business with them in the past and I continue to stay in contact with them in the present. The owners and staff are some of the kindest and most knowledgeable people you will ever have the pleasure to meet. They run a top notch facility and if you have the pleasure of meeting anybody who works there you will feel the same as me. It's a wonderful environment with creativity and activities that you have never seen in this area. From extreme challenges and military training to beginners and children this facility is definitely a Hidden Gem. I love just visiting treadstone climbing and I know you will feel the same. These are solely my opinions and I have not been asked or paid in any way to say them. Good people and good businesses deserve a good review.

A treasure in the heart of Columbus! Not only is it the first climbing gym in town, but it is an excellent place for all skill levels. First timers and beginners will find encouraging and knowledgeable staff to facilitate their introduction to the sport (if your looking for a fun and active place to get the kids out of the house this is it.) . While those with more experience will be challenged by the top notch problem setting and the notorious roof (the owner Mark is always more than willing to give training and technique tips). As an avid climber and American Mountain Guide Association Instructor I can assure you this is one of the most welcoming gyms with the friendliest staff in the southeast.
