This was a temporary gym for me while I was in the area for a few weeks. I chose this gym for the…read moreproximity and reasonable monthly membership fee and was not disappointed! The gym is very clean and the employees were very friendly. I loved that they have communal chalk for free - great for when you forget or if you are a first timer. There are not too many problems to work on here and even fewer overhangs. Although they make up for it by changing a section of the wall every week so it keeps things new and fresh. For a tall person I also thought some problems were too short (I could reach the top after a few steps). Maybe setters can make problems more interesting by setting longer routes. Overall I would still come back whenever I'm visiting Canada again!

My nieces (8 & 11) absolutely love this place, so I guess it must be OK. To be clear, this is not…read morerock climbing walls. This is "bouldering". The difference being zero help, no ropes, no safety of any kind aside from a padded floor. Some walls are steep and over 20' tall, so a fall can be significant. Guess that's why you sign a waiver. This place is clean and spacious with almost limitless possibilities to suit all skill levels. The colored nodules on the wall indicate a skill level and "path" you should take to reach the top. Using a color other than the one you started with would be considered cheating--but I won't tell. Admission price varies depending on group size and you get admitted for an all-day pass. I would like to see an hourly option since we really only needed 2 hours to get hour fill of fun. We paid about $17 USD per person. Groupon has several offerings to help reduce that cost. My only recommendation would be to offer some sort of instruction, tips, videos, etc related to bouldering. There was only one staff member and he never came over to offer a tip or advice or anything to help us navigate the walls better. They had a TV playing video of rock climbing, but that is of no value here. Overall very enjoyable time with the kids, but I think I prefer Sky Zone instead for the variety of activities available.

To book a class, it is best to download their Fit by Wix app. You can purchase a plan or do a drop in class of your choosing. They give both in person and zoom classes so if you are someone who prefers to work out at home it is a good alternative. Note, however, that especially in the evening classes you must come on time as there is a no late policy. The trainer and owner, Stephanie, lead my class. She was very helpful and ensured to give me the full tour of the building. It is located in an office building in the basement. It is not the most *aesthetic* workout spot, but well ventilated and made with love. It seems they organize community get togethers as well including hikes, picnics, runs and more. The work-out itself was wonderful! Stephanie was full of energy and gave good directions. It was fun, not too difficult, but worked away on those arms! Excited for my next class!

I've been around - gyms and crossfit boxes that is - and CrossFit Kitchener is as awesome as a…read moreCrossFit box can get. At 5,000 sq ft it has plenty of space for any Workout of the Day (WoD) and the owners, Joanne and Lance Mittelhotlz have invested in all the best CrossFit equipment. Everything from Atlas Balls to full Olympic weights, sleds, GHD machines, 15' ropes, KB of all weights and so much more. They have showers, change areas, LCD tv playing WoDs and most importantly highly trained Certified CrossFit trainers. As with CrossFit, community is big, and the members of CrossFit Kitchener are welcoming and fun. Everyone supports each other and the atmosphere encourages self development and pride. It's located centrally located with free parking and the hours/classes are extensive. It offers everything from Boot Camp to specialty competition classes. Seriously, CrossFit Kitchener is the place to be if you are serious about making fitness a sport.

Not as big of a climbing gym but it's an entire facility dedicated to bouldering!! The ceiling is…read morelow which I can see they could expand to implement rock climbing in the future but for now, seeing as they newly opened, they're doing great! The staff are very friendly and chill, they will give you a brief orientation if it's your first time at that location (regardless of climbing experience). Rentals are available. The location is convenient by bus as well as its right around the corner of University/Weber. This also means many students are keen to use this location. As the place fills up, it can get quite crowded easily. What I found great about this location is that there are black tower boxes that are filled with chalk (so you don't even need to bring your own! There are adequate benches to sit on but I do wish there were more spots to sit. The washrooms were nice and clean. There are also lockers available in the washroom and along the wall outside by the front desk. TIP: immediately entering, you would scan your card to the left side of the front desk. It took me a few seconds to find it so hopefully this tip helps to know where you need to look!
