The staff is super friendly and have great taste in music - I'm always finding something new to listen to. There's so much variety in the routes they set. Beginners will be able to do a few routes and get a decent way through others in one session. In general, their bouldering problems are super creative and push you to hone technique in addition to strength. The community is super supportive and it's an awesome place to become a better climber. They also have a small weights room I've found super useful and I also love that there are some very cute pups that frequent the gym!!

Clubs have separate work out areas, eating, resting and gathering spots, as well as free yoga classes. Price depends on location, but $100 monthly is what I would pay and there is a yearly sign up fee. Staff is friendly and will get you started reviewing the safety and technical info. I have all my own gear, but discounts on gear, as well as shoe and harness rentals are available. I have 40-50 years of rock, ice, and ski mountaineering experience, but price is high (for me) and my gym is 10% of the cost here. Finally , I was put off by the fact that discounts are available for students- but NOT seniors. That's the reason for 3 stars. The company would give away far more in discounts for students than seniors. Also, seniors bring in children and grandchildren, so this makes no sense to me. Too bad.

Rock climbing does a number on your nails ! Evelyn was helpful with getting us set up. We had to watch a safety video prior to climbing. This gym is a lot smaller than what I thought.

Friendly staff, not overly involved, but helpful as needed. We spent about 2 hours there before the girls got tired. Members can climb earlier than non-members, so just know that before you go. Everyone is supportive of everyone else. It's a judgement-free climbing gym. We'll visit more often.

We went as first timers and the staff were very friendly and helpful as to guiding us how to tie the ropes and what we needed to do. Once i kept practicing, it began to get easier. The rock climbing part was challenging and a tad bit scary when you're up high and look down but overall it was a great workout. There were some parts of the gym that were definitely more challenging than others. I would recommend this to others if you're up for a physical challenge and something fun to do!

It has the essentials, safety arms, rack, weight. I'm happy they open at 5:30AM, it allows me to have free reign of the area before anyone else is there. I suspect after 10AM, it'll get too crowded for a proper workout. Not a regular member at TRC, I have had this one punch card (10 visits) for nearly three years now so happy to see that it's getting its uses.

The space is large, clean, and has a lot of variety for different levels of climbers. The rental shoes definitely run small. You may need to size up anywhere from half a size to even two sizes bigger. Just something to plan for. It's family friendly, but safety is really important, so make sure kiddos aren't running around since climbers are focused and people are moving around everywhere. I do wish there was a designated section just for beginners and kids. That said, I really appreciated how each color route is clearly labeled (by numbers) from easy to hard. It helps you know what you're getting into before you start. One note: the rocks are tough on nails. Mine aren't even long, but gripping some of the holds was tricky, so keep that in mind if you have longer nails. Overall, a great workout, a safe environment, and a fun way to try something new! We'll definitely be back.

They provided everything we needed (paddles, life jackets) and gave us a quick 60 second refresher on how to use the canoe before we headed off. We were at one of the channels off of Falls lake, and they gave us advice on which direction was the best to go off towards. It was pretty hot out, but being so close to the water made it cooler and the shade lowered the temperature a lot too. Along the way, we saw turtles, fish, and a couple of herons. The whole experience was very peaceful, relaxing, and low-stress. It was a great day to spend a warm morning outside, although I would recommend booking an earlier or later time in the summer since around noon there isn't really much shade on the water. Will definitely come back for another paddle!

Frog Hollow is a gem for paddling enthusiasts!…read more As someone in my mid-40s learning a young person's sport, I've had two incredible 1-on-1 sessions with Jer on flat water, with another scheduled this week and I can't recommend them enough. Jer's technical expertise, constructive criticism, and what i consider endurance training have been invaluable to build confidence for white water. It's easy to think you understand the sport by reading, watching, and listening, but reality hits when you're underwater and upside down. Jer has been fantastic in sharing both the positive and realistic sides of whitewater paddling, making the experience both challenging and rewarding. I still remind myself "nothing worthwhile comes easy at first". Lastly, if you're looking to improve your skills, fix bad habits, and gain a deeper understanding of the sport, Frog Hollow is the place to be! Thanks, Josh

The place itself is inside a larger building and in a nice location, close enough to the highway but off the beaten path enough to not be crazy packed with traffic. Sign up was easy and convenient online. Come prepared in tighter fitting (but comfortable!) clothing that covers your underarms and legs (to prevent burning!) and minimal or no jewelry. You definitely don't want to risk getting it hung on the silks! Oh and definitely bring some water. You're guaranteed to be a little (or a lot!) sore the next day. Jamie was our instructor and she was phenomenal! She was so fun, patient, and encouraging. As a first timer, this was very intimidating but Jamie made us feel like pros! The class starts with foundational elements: stretches, a warm up, then basics on the silks apparatus such as foot wrapping and pulling yourself up. We gradually introduced more shapes and the foot knot. The class flew by and was so much fun! It's truly an addicting workout/art form and Jamie's skills were so impressive. I can't wait to go back! Definitely check this place out and have a unique experience with friends, your partner, or fly solo!

The Wilson Rec Center is pretty central to campus and has student recreational activities. The pool is in the rear and is the only thing I saw. You can enter in front or rear for the aquatic complex. The building itself looks like "Duke". The brownstones are spectacular. Parking is reserved pretty much all around the building I found the visitors lot which is about a 3/4 mile walk. The area was clean and impeccably maintained. The aquatic complex is not as old as the building dating to possibly turn of the century. However it's no spring chicken either. Possibly built in the late 60's, not ruling out 70's. The pool and deck are maintained. Only faculty, staff and the swim and dive are permitted to use outside of special permission. My son enjoyed the pool. Although not a new pool it has underwent a couple of renovation projects over the decades. The most recent was around 11 years ago. The 25 yard pool with diving well is a nice set up for competition. Duke competes in the ACC Conference. The complex offers a compact spectator area on one side. Most reading this review will never get the opportunity to use the pool and probably never even see it. My son absolutely loved his time on campus and who knows could be a Blue Devil.
