The staff at The Rock Club are absolutely amazing β€” friendly, helpful, and genuinely passionate about what they do. The setters (Jordan, Mikey, Jenny, Ashlee) consistently put up thoughtful, creative routes that really show their dedication and love for the craft. It may be an older gym, but it has a fantastic vibe and a strong, welcoming community culture. Always a great place to climb.

Very good climbing gym with plenty of variation. Very welcoming to beginners and challenging enough for experienced climbers.

This is a good climbing gym. The setting is good and has been getting better lately. The bouldering grading needs some improvement. Instead of grades in ranges, it would be more helpful if the setters committed to a single grade. We know that grades are subjective, but that doesn't mean the setter can't give their opinion.

Great experience, my girls loved climbing on the autobelay and also with staff. Nice option for kids parties of all ages or a rainy day.

tl;dr: The Rock Club is a really nice indoor climbing facility.

The facilities are huge, varied, and well maintained. There's something here for every level ranging from beginner to pro. Most climbs are human-belayed, but they do have four auto-belay stations for those times when you can't find a friend to belay you.

The staff is wonderfully helpful and nice. You can tell they love climbing and working here. (And they want you to love climbing too, in whatever way works for you.)

We had a group of our own, so we didn't interact with other patrons much, but everyone looked happy and friendly. It seems like the kind of place where if you need a climbing partner, you find some other random person and ask. They'll probably say yes.

There's a ton of interesting events on the calendar. (Women's night, kids camps, even a comedy night.)

I’ve been climbing at The Rock Club for a few weeks now, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience! From the moment I walked in, the entire team was incredibly kind and welcoming. One of the things I love most about this gym is the amazing communityβ€”everyone is so friendly, helpful, and fun.

I’ve taken two classes so farβ€”the belay class and the bouldering intro classβ€”and both were led by fantastic instructors who were not only highly skilled but also super engaging and attentive. They made sure all our questions were answered and created a really positive learning environment.

The energy at the gym is always uplifting, and there are so many great resources available, from climbing to yoga classes (which I haven’t tried yet but love having the option). The gym itself is top-notch, with everything you need to challenge yourself and grow in the sport.

Even though I have a half-hour drive each way, I genuinely don’t mind because The Rock Club has quickly become my happy place. I’m so excited to be a part of this community, and I can’t wait to keep climbing and learning here.

Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a supportive and fun place to climb!

Today was my first time Rock climbing. I took my father who has dementia and the staff Nathan and Arianna were so sweet!! They were patient and explained everything clearly and carefully and made us feel so comfortable. My dad said he can't wait to go back. I wish I had cash I would have tipped them and absurd amount. Thank you so much for your amazing customer service. You both make such a difference!

Great time here at the Rock Club.

Purchased a Groupon and decided to visit on a Friday morning. Called ahead and the front desk staff were very quick in getting back to me to confirm that a belayer was available at that time. They also confirmed the Groupon over the phone. I went ahead and completed the required waiver forms online prior to our visit.

Adequate parking was available at that time. The Rock Club (downstairs) shares its space with a with a tennis club, so make sure you follow the ramp down toward the Rock Club entrance and NOT the stairs whih leads to the tennis club.

We arrived at around 10am and it was fairly empty. The Rock Club staff explained the process and set us up with climbing shoes.

We were then introduced to our belayer who was awesome. Over the next hour, we tried climbs ranging in difficulty. The wall heights range from about 35-40 feet and the peg placement and wall angles vary throughout the climbs, making some more difficult than others. We even had some time to try some bouldering. Our belayer was great at explaining techniques and technical terms. She was very patient and very encouraging...though not "pushy" at all.

After we finished, the staff was nice enough to show us around to see what else was available at the facility: childrens area, common areas, training rooms and weight rooms.

May go without saying...wear comfy clothes. As a regular gym-goer, but someone who has NOT climbed before, this was a welcomed challenge. Certain muscles, particularly the forearms and core, may not be part of the typical gym regimen...but are very important in climbing...that being said, I was definitely feeling it the next day.

Overall we had a great experience at the Rock Club. We will deinifitely look into other classes.

Kudos to all the staff members there.

I've been going here for three years. The walls are a little outdated and grading can be pretty varied, but it's a fantastic gym.

The top rope is fantastic, and I believe it better than several of the other gyms in the nearby area. There are walls of varying height, with hugely varied geometry, including a massive arch for lead climbing. I don't lead climb, but the top rope routes are always fun.

The bouldering isn't fantastic, but there is a large variety of climbs in whatever wall surface area there is. There are two small slab walls and a significant portion of the rest of the walls are large overhangs. They grade by a color system, with each grade being a range of V-rating (example- purple tape can range from v0-v2). If you don't think too hard about the rating system, you will enjoy many of the routes that are set.

The staff is very friendly and create a comfortable atmosphere to make you feel welcome and at home.

While I occasionally check out other gyms in the area if I feel like mixing it up a bit, and have friends that go elsewhere, I keep coming back here and is the only place I've been a member.

I can see myself going here for many years to come

Best climbing gym in New York! Very friendly staff, I worked with an instructor called Kemmy Ortago. They were very knowledgeable, my seven nieces and nephews had a wonderful time. Kyle Folks Douglos was also very helpful at the desk and he did a human flag.

Great little gym tucked in a residential area in New Rochelle. For novices: friendly staff, lots of instruction, places to sit and hang out. For climbers: grippy walls, new holds, interesting routes that seem to be mostly 5.10 and up. Both old school and modern, somehow. Will climb again.

I had a great experience on my first visit to the rock club. Staff was friendly and helpful and had my group climbing quickly. If you've never climbed before, I recommend scheduling time in advance with one of their certified guides. You're limited 4 auto-belay ropes unless you're with a guide, but that was plenty for us.

Amazing experience. Our instructor Rashad was great. So well tempered and just reassuring guy when your up about 18 plus feet in the air with a rope.

I highly recommend anyone tired of being stuck inside due to covid and itching for a new experience. Give this a chance its worth it.

We will be back very soon thanks for having us

I recently had my son's Bar Mitzvah at The Rock Club, and it was the best party on the planet! Valerie and her staff were absolutely fantastic. Super accommodating, extremely friendly, amazingly helpful and brought the best energy to the party. I can't tell you how many people pulled me aside to tell me how great the staff was. The venue was so perfect. We were able to climb, have a space for guests to relax and have a rockin' dance party all at the same time. I'm still on cloud 9! Best night ever!

The rock gym is a very good place for bouldering as routes cover a wide range of skill sets and are frequently re-set. The vibe is very positive from staff and other members; people are open to help. As all climbing gyms, try to avoid children on saturdays.
I Signed up for a 1 year membership and was not allowed to cancel when I moved into manhattan and unfortunately paid the six remaining months of my membership without being able to ever come back. They were not open to the possibility of donating to someone else, even a kid in need.

The best rock climbing gym in the area. The staff is super friendly and helpful and they play good music on the speakers too! I took a belay class here with Pierre and he was a very good teacher who gave clear instructions. The Groupon deal can't be beat! They constantly change the courses so you don’t get bored, but they do leave them up long enough that you can successfully conquer the especially challenging ones.
