Small gym, but that's to be expected when it's located in the city. This place is hard to find - I…read morehad to look at other people's notes on Google Reviews to find this place. It was giving "looking for the outdoor boulder" vibes. So here's my notes for anyone that will likely need them. PARKING: Trust your GPS to guide you to the entrance of the parking garage. The entrance and exit are two separate doors, so do not think you can enter and/or exit through both of them. The garage is for the 715 Peachtree building and CRG has a sign on the garage that lets you know to park there. Once you pull a ticket and get inside the garage, park anywhere. Don't forget to take your ticket with you to validate inside the gym! GYM ACCESS: Once you park, get to the same level that you entered the garage. Follow the garage signs to enter the 715 Peachtree building. Do not be alarmed if all the lights are off. Continue down the long hallway until you see the elevators on your right. If you hit the coffee shop, you've gone too far. Go DOWN on the elevator to LL. Once you exit the elevator, you'll see the gym there. General Notes: I would advise budgeting at least 10 minutes to get out of the building and garage. Keep this in mind since parking is only validated for 2 hours! Exiting is also a bit of a doozy, but ultimately just follow the garage signs. If possible, CRG should put up additional signage within the 715 building to direct people. I felt like there was no way I would've known to go down on the elevator a floor without the advice of others. The gym itself is solid - it's mostly inclined walls and a few slabs. One interesting area that I've never seen is one of the walls is set at a greater than 90 degree angle, and is quite scary since it relies a lot on feet. Great wall to train on. I appreciated how much cleaner this gym is compared to the Chamblee locations.

Like others have mentioned, it's a bit hard to find once you're in the building, but security was…read moreable to tell me where to go. Didn't know they set new routes on Tuesdays so it was packed when I went on a Tuesday night. Only got a few climbs in before leaving. Tried again Wednesday morning, and was able to do more. It is pretty small, but enough to get a workout in. Definitely bring your own water, no vending machines or store to buy some. Did spy a water fountain towards the back of the building, but one of the traditional ones.

My first impression of Wall Crawler Rock Club was their bouldering section, which made me question…read moretheir name because I couldn't crawl up any of the walls. And before you shout "Skill issue!", let it be known that at Stone Summit I can comfortably climb V0-V3s, but I couldn't scale one of Wall Crawler's V1-V3s. Their bouldering room was wacky in all sorts of other ways too-- half the routes weren't marked with a V-grade at all, and Wall Crawlers chose to adhere to the outdoor bouldering safety method of "Drag the mat under where you're bouldering," which is great if you're an experienced climber/faller, but pretty unnerving to amateurs who don't want to miss the 5x5 ft. mat from 12 feet in the air. Aside from the bouldering section I enjoyed Wall Crawler Rock Club though. The top-rope routes were well set and I enjoyed the ~6 routes I climbed, plus the automatic belay machines were great since I didn't have to spend an hour getting a belay certification. My friends and I also enjoyed goofing off in their in-house "gym," which has a bunch of tools that train climbing muscles like lats and forearms. Overall however, I decided to stick to rating Wall Crawler a 3/5 star because of the cost. Wall Crawler Rock Club is just $2 bucks cheaper than Stone Summit despite the latter being 10x bigger, 10x taller, and having 10x more amenities like a huge weight room, free coaching, 4 locations, a modern website, and nicer shoes. I'm totally cool with a smaller, "local," gym having less perks than the big guys, but not when I have to pay the exact same cost. In that case I'll just drive 5 minutes longer to the bigger gym.

We did the waivers online, but for some reason, one did not come through so we had to do it again there. There was a short orientation in on the main floor and then the kids were free to explore.

There was one employee wandering to help, and to belay people on the non-auto belays. The attractions were very well done and there was a decent sized bouldering area as well. The party room upstairs was clean and there was plenty of bathrooms and places to sit. We got a "free lesson" card so maybe we'll be back!

I couldn't do *anything* in my first few classes, but after maybe a couple of months, I could do enough to do a very small "performance." Just keep at it. You'll be surprised how quickly you build strength if you commit to at least once a week. Most important, though: have fun. The instructors will do their best to make sure that's happening!

What I like is their mind body app that makes viewing and booking effortless. Membership prices are very affordable and great combinations of types of aerial excercise equipments (eg sling) The downside for me is that the first instructor courses were disorganized and not many get to try everything. felt rushed to briefly do every single one. I come in for my 3rd class and still disorganized despite having only 3 students. All in which have different levels. Level 1 sling class even then is too advanced for me. The instructor just dove right in but i think he forgets that when it comes to students like myself, I have never ever activated or used any muscle movement similar to what they are doing. He said to me you're just overthinking it. Yet the movement isn't understood by me. Even watching, I can't connect my many different movements "just" to do a simple flip into the sling and then have the fabric lay on my pelvis bones, balance and flip legs over. I'm sure this isn't the only way to teach...and I'm gonna look for a place that offers more structured and fluid sessions. Maybe start off with workout routines on The sling then just a "just move your body into any shape" or "just tuck your knees in and JUST bend your arms" then "voila". I won't be paying a drop in cost or even a membership just to hang or have such chaotic class. One minute this and that yet no real idea what those moves are even called. I left 20 minutes early as most moves were really too advanced for me. All I can do I stand in the sling. I'll be buying my own sling and watching videos online it's no different because all sky gym offers is this "watch" and "learn". You grab your own support pad.. They might help "lift you" into position but doesn't help understand how to do It yourself.. Also they do not really look at me when teaching but everyone else. Not really included till I speak up. Maybe it's just my instructor. They should look and make eye contact to EVERY STUDENT. not just one.

When we came the first day we were helped by Dima and Dani who helped me to get in touch with the owner to set up a private session for my son to complete his requirements left for a merit badge he had partially completed. After emailing the owner he replied promptly and helped me set up a date where his staff would be ready and be able to set up for the climbing merit badge course. On the day of the lesson we were greeted by Connor who was very kind and helpful and ended up being the one who was the teacher for my son. He was very thorough and easy to learn from. My second son wanted to tag along with us and was able to explore the facilities and learn about the fun and excitement of rock climbing at Adrenaline Climbing! I definitely plan on returning on another day to help my sons further their enjoyment of climbing. In any case this review is for a job well done by the staff of Adrenaline Climbing and a glowing recommendation for a seamless and fun experience. I rate Adrenaline Climbing 5 stars and give two thumbs up. Thank you to the staff and have a positive day.

They also have a deal where the day passes are only $5 between 8-10pm on tuesdays and thursdays. Although this gym isn't as big or fancy as other commercial gyms, it still has a variety of bouldering and rope climbing routes. And the levels of the routes are pretty difficult compared to other places I've been to so I have been thoroughly challenged every time I step my foot in there. I personally liked that there were a lot of auto belay routes because it lets me go rope climbing without needing a partner! Something I wish the gym had is a spray wall area to warm up and do drills on. But I get that the place is small and probably can't dedicate an entire wall for just warm up. Also, the floor here is kind of hard. It is indeed padded so it's totally safe but i took me a few sessions to get used to because it was harder than the mats at other gyms.

Oh what could have been had I chosen to attend Georgia Tech for a Ph.D. in Geophysics... I came to…read morethe Georgia Tech Campus Recreation Center in February of 2015 as part of a graduate school visit (all expenses paid) once I had been accepted to a Ph.D. program in Geophysics. I chose to attend a different university for my studies, but am reflecting on my experience at a different school especially in the context of staying physically healthy in graduate school and decided to write this review. The Georgia Tech Campus Recreation Center was not the biggest athletic facility I visited on my graduate school visits, but it was the one with the most homey feel. That is to say it was a bargain deal even if you wanted to partake in classes or offerings that costed money and the design was one I felt comfortable enough in to want to work out here. At the university I ended up attending, I not once used the athletic facilities on campus to work out partly because they lacked a homey feel. Which brings me back to Georgia Tech and this center and how I would have used it had I chosen to attend Georgia Tech for graduate school. The pool was a site of the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta, which I didn't learn until we visited it in person. This was a pleasant blindside surprise. To boot, when we stopped by the pool the race going on was a 200 yard breaststroke race (my stroke in swimming is breaststroke) which got me all energized. It was my first time visiting a site from a Summer Olympic Games which just so coincidentally also happen to be the first Summer Olympic Games I was alive for. So cool! In addition to a stand out pool, the indoor track was a beauty. I love indoor tracks in buildings with windows, it is fun to watch the weather change as one runs. The track also looked over basketball courts, another fun thing to observe if walking or running on the track and able to see the courts. All around the facility was amazing and had I chosen to attend Georgia Tech for graduate school I would have made frequent and good use of this facility. The only grumbling I heard from current students on my graduate school visit about the facility was how frequently the pool was occupied by swimming and diving championship events and how that hindered students of the school from getting to use the pool themselves.

The new facility is sparkling and definitely worth visiting if you haven't seen it yet and becoming a member if you swim work out regularly. We paid about $250 for the family to join for the year and the bonus is that it gives the whole family access to all Atlanta public pools. The building is very open, bright (lots of natural light come in through the glass), and beautifully built. While ATL isn't the Northeast, winter is still somewhat more of a period of hibernation for a lot of people and the opening of this center provides a very nice public option for continuing to be active. It seems like they offer a wide variety of classes and activities for kids. While I can't speak to the basketball gym, workout facilities, and indoor running track on the second floor, the pool is great. It's helped our toddler develop an appreciation for the water and we haven't even tried their infant swim program yet. Some highlights of the pool are that the water is very warm, they have a beach front walk-in, a separate family changing room, a variety of aquatic toys for kids to enjoy, and a few fun sprinkler type poles in the pool. For parents looking to entertain their kids this could be a great drop-in option too at just $5 a visit I believe. My only complaints are 1) We've waited months to get our membership cards and the machine that prints them is always down or unavailable for some reason. This is obviously not such a big deal but 2) As this "undiscovered" gem is no longer so undiscovered, we've seen more and more swimmers come to the pool and it can be difficult to find a free lane to swim in now (especially around peak hours weeknights after work). This may just be what happens as you become a victim of your own success. The pool is huge but it's unfortunate that the way they built it the lanes cannot be expanded or added easily because the free swim section has a giant physical barrier from the lanes part.
