  • “Method Climbing Gym is 100% the best climbing gym in New Jersey. The owners and the staff are involved, friendly, and supportive. Most importantly, the community at this gym is truly what makes it shine.”

    Amber Martello

  • “Went here as a surprise birthday gift. Simply put, this place is amazing. I'd consider myself a complete beginner and couldn't have had a better instructor. The staff is friendly and so, too, is the community.”

    James Lipscomb

  • “Great climbing gym with owners that emphasize community. The boulders are well set with a nice mix of styles. Rope climbs are excellent with many auto-belays if you train alone.”

    Yeon Hwang

  • “Our kids (11 and 8) feel at home here. Our son had his birthday party here, which was AMAZING. They had creative climbing-based games and even put goody bags at the top of the climbs.”

    Thomas MacWright

  • “Great bouldering gym! Frequent new routes, a very active community. The fitness classes (Capoeira, Yoga, TRX) are included in the membership and offer a good opportunity to try something new.”

    Anton Rikus

  • “My favorite place! Best community, amazing climbing, doesn't get much better than this. They've got something for people of all skill levels, as well as an awesome fitness facility.”
