First, the facility is pristine and absolutely beautiful. The space, the esthetic, the energy, the instruction is all high caliber. after moving with owner, Ken, the first time, I knew this Art of movement was a game changer for me. Ken's innate and experienced knowledge, wisdom, expertise & guidance and endless patience with me helped guide me toward my most empowered version of self to date. Movement is his medicine. I have come into a lot of healing through this medicine. I am NOT a fighter by any means and can't even stand the thought of combat or grappling and yet here I am delighted, absolutely enjoying learning principles of Jiu jitsu and I find myself wanting to learn more and more! Ken meets you where and who you are and guides you to your truth. Can't recommend this healing experience enough!

We were paying $25 more PER MONTH at another local place for the same amount of instruction time. After being at the gym for a few months, It became apparent that this would be our new home. Nicolai is amazing! He is encouraging to his students and is a perfectionist when it comes to form. He teaches in a way that instills confidence. He takes pride in his teaching and it shows. The gym has two open gym days a week, where both members and nonmembers can go to the gym(for a small fee) and use equipment to further their skills or just to have fun. In addition to gymnastics, students can also take self defense courses and circus school class. Definitely worth checking out if you have a budding gymnast!

Don't get scammed by the manager…read more I recently relocated to NH from the west coast and have been an avid bouldering enthusiast for 15 years. This is the only climbing gym in the area so naturally I went to check it out and bought the 2 week punch card promotion with free top rope class. On first impression evo is a beautifully constructed climbing gym that is primarily catered to top rope. I was disappointed that the bouldering area seemed to be an afterthought. The second thing I noticed was that this gym is absolutely FILTHY. Chalk everywhere, every surface is coated with a layer of chalk the climbing holds are caked with chalk and grime. There seems be no daily cleaning being done despite the numerous amount of staff members on the floor. You can't sit on bouldering mats without being covered in chalk. This place is a COPD hazard. I was still going to sign up for a monthly membership despite these issues. However, on the last day of my 2 week pass I was called down to the front desk on the intercom. I wasn't sure why, but the employee notified me that his boss told him that my pass had already expired and I need to pay $20 for a day pass. This wasn't correct, I asked to speak with him and he insisted that my trial began the moment I paid online several days before actually starting my 2 weeks. After 20 minutes of explaining the terms of my contract to the manager and showing him what 14 consecutive days means, he eventually said that my contract was indeed still valid. The ordeal took so long I was late for work and I never got to ask if this mistake was due to the manager being incompetent, or if he was trying to commit contract fraud. I went back to speak with him in person and he denied any accountability and started becoming belligerent and banned me for life while screaming and cursing me out the door for questioning him. If you are a member, know the terms of your contract and if this happened/happens to you please report it to the NH attorney general. If you are a staff member, if the manager asks you to do something illegal, say no and tell him to go clean the walls. If you are the owner of this establishment, you need a new manager.

That's something I really enjoy at a rock climbing gym, and I can tell they value the importance of customer service. The facility is absolutely beautiful with high walls- many of which are leadable, new holds, and frequent new routes. The route setting is different, technical, and well thought out. I really appreciate the effort they put into their routes, and that is the main reason I choose to drive an hour to use the gym! They also have a great workout area and yoga room. This place is definitely worth the visit, and if you're a student, have your ID ready because they offer a big student discount :)

I've been a member for over a year now and overall, I'm pretty happy. I deducted a star for two…read morereasons. The first, is that no matter WHAT time of day or day of year I am at HH, they just cannot get the Wi-Fi situation under control. It never works properly. Either it's super slow, can't connect, lags after a few mins, kicks you off, etc. for the price tag, they should be doing whatever it takes to get this stuff sorted. If Planet Fitness can get it done for 9.99 a month, HH can for over a hundred!!! The other, is that the class times don't make too much sense to me. I understand why some of the classes more dedicated to seniors are midday, and I know there are some wealthy towns nearby where people may not have to work- but how about classes at a normal time of morning or evening? Not 5:00 am, but how about at 6:30-7:30? And then more classes that people who work 9-5 (or whose spouses do, in my case) can make? Otherwise, the facility is pretty nice, and there's anything you could want and then some for fitness options.
