The Boulder Rock Club Reviews

I love everything about this place. Great facility, great staff, great customers. great vibe.

Best climbing gym experience and community I ve encountered.

Definitely coming back! Huge fan of these auto-belays

Great fun and indoor training for rock climbing. Awesome routes, staff and instruction if needed.

It's a decent place to climb with a good fitness facilities, although the bouldering area wasn't very big. The bouldering area does not use the standard boulder route rating system, which I was a little disappointed by. Some of the holds seemed to need a little cleaning. I noticed there weren't very many 5.9 routes. I would have liked to see more.

BRC is a great place for topropes and lead. Chill environment and some strong climbers to learn from. They have high walls and multiple autobelays for the solo day.

Pretty small bouldering area but there are some thoughtful routes in there.

This place truly does have everything. They have yoga and fitness/workout rooms, cardio machines on the upper level, and tons of rock climbing. They have a starter area to bring newcomers and kids, then both bouldering and belaying areas.

Love this place, really bummed that all the gyms are closed. Affordable membership, friendly staff, and auto belays are all pluses.

What more do you need in a climbing gym? Amazing route setting, a laid-back, friendly vibe, free A.M. coffee and a great weight room + lifting platform. Easily the best gym in the Front Range. Go to the BRC if your goal is to have fun and climb. Go to Movement if your goal is to take your shirt off and impress people.

I drive up from Denver to climb at this place with my boyfriend. Worth every penny and the drive! Love this place!

A good gym that has been part of Boulder for many years. Very nice that they have autobelays.

-1 star because weekdays get really crowded with large kid groups. Also some of the exercise equipment is older.

Really enjoyed my first time at rock climbing here. My son enjoyed his first time here too. Very helpful and friendly staff.

I have been a member for years and it is worth every penny!

Love this place. There are very good climbers here, most very friendly and happy to help those with less experience.

The place to go if you are serious about climbing. Gear rentals and classes available. Some snacks at front desk.

If your going to join a rock climbing gym in Boulder, join BRC. They have the friendliest staff, with the majority of members equally friendly. I've made tons of new climbing partners here and the atmosphere here is super chill. I wouldn't climb indoors anywhere else.

The route setting here is really varied and very well done. No guest passes for members is a huge bummer.

Awesome, practical, and educational if you'd like a coach.

I have been climbing at BRC for a majority of my life, this has never been my home gym, however, I have always tried to visit as frequently as I can. I have always enjoyed the consistent quality of setting, the friendly employees, and most importantly the constant attempts to keep the gym up with the times. This gym was built a while ago, as far as climbing gyms go this gym is ancient, but the one thing that seems to keep them in business is the constant improvements. Small touches like the addition of a moon board before any other gyms in the Denver metro area had one, making a half decent speed wall on an untextured surface, or most recently the addition of solid bouldering pads to replace the drag mats. This gym deserves all yalls support, especially now during COVID, shower this gym with love.

My favorite gym in town. Full weight room and climbing training equipment. 5 or 6 autobelays are great for running laps and building endurance. Interesting route setting. The only down side is the walls are just a bit shorter than I would like. Not bad though.

Wall and fitness center in Boulder, different degrees of difficulty.

Great hours, friendly staff, awesome extras (yoga, fitness classes) and just a darn fun place to be.

My kids love the camps they offer. My daughter also did a private lesson here that was wonderful.

A fantastic indoor gym with a wide variety of lead and top rope walls along with bouldering of all shapes and sizes as well.
The classes are also worth attending with experienced coaches like Chris Wall and Brent who will make sure you leave fitter than when you walked in.
Excellent community amongst the climbers and great service from the staff.

I've held a membership at all of the gyms in Boulder over the years, and BRC is by far the best gym in terms of quality staff, great routes, and awesome amenities, especially for the price you pay.

I had an excellent time! There are many routes to choose from and it is a great place for me to work on and progress my climbing.

Good overall training place for aspiring mountain athletes. Lots of likeminded people and good couches.

While living in Boulder I practically made this place home. The staff was extremely friendly and truly made me feel like I belonged. The renovation is really nice, check this place out.

Joslyn's Mas Chicas (Motivated to Achieve Success) climbing class for women is the best and starts up again this week!

Come for the slabs, stay for the community. If Movement is the La Fitness in downtown LA, BRC is the greasy neighborhood plate gym where all pros sling iron around all day.

Great people, good times, and a lot of smiles. They do their best to keep climbing affordable and fun. Offering everything from bouldering to fitness classes.

The BRC is an amazing climbing gym to say the least. They have great routes and plenty of climbing areas. The gym also comes with lots of classes and programs which you can sign up for. There is also a decent fitness room and cardio area.

I have now been to several climbing gyms across the country and the BRC is still my favorite. New routes go up every week so you can keep coming back to the BRC and face fresh problems. This was a very big problem I had with gyms elsewhere. I would come to a gym months after I have previously visited, only to find the same routes still up.

The auto belays are nice, but this gym isn't great for beginners. They only have a couple courses under 5.9, and it's always so crowded that the easy courses are usually taken. Most of the other climbers are nice, but I have had a few bad experiences with some. The staff is fine; they just aren't particularly welcoming. I always feel uncomfortable when I am here due to the difficulty of the courses and the unwelcoming atmosphere.

Great gym. Only wished they offered better guest pass deals like the Spot.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE BRC and CMS!!! Thank you Luke Terstriep and staff for an amazing time! We will be back next summer for sure. You helped make memories that will last a lifetime!!!

I love this place so much I would sleep on the floor

Charged my card without my permission and refused to offer a refund

I have everything good and nothing bad to say about BRC. Great variety of setting, awesome environment, the auto belays are amazing. The workout gym super solid...heck they even have a slide at the top of the bouldering wall. The staff was super friendly and helpful...I could compliment these guys all night. Check it out yourself. :)

P.S. they aren't paying me to write this, nor am I an employee. I'm just a Boulderite slackliner who is trying to get his climb on.

Cheers :)

The workout is intense more than I'd ever do on my own. and very effective. The staff is so friendly and welcoming.

Really nice vibe. Cool staff and environment. Good Selection of Routes with lots of different difficulties. Definitely one of my favorite gyms.

The BRC is a Boulder tradition and institution in my opinion. People of all ages climb here. The staff is top notch.

Nice selection of climbing routes, good service, good classes,

Great gym. Interesting walls, thoughtful routes, friendly staff.

Could always be better, but this place has autobelays which are great when you need a quick climb without a buddy.

I'm only an amateur climber, but they make you feel welcome and offer so many other classes and options to the climbing wall.

Helpful and fun for any climbers from beginners to advanced

Great Rock gym, lots of routes, different colored holds make it harder to climb a route which is nice.

Great place to train and get a workout in. Best gym in Boulder.

Surprisingly reasonable prices for high quality climbing.

They managed to lose my waiver, then their iPad crashed trying to fill out a new waiver. They wanted us to wait 20 min to get cleared to belay, but when we checked back after 20 they had forgotten about us and it was going to be another 30min. Three quarters of the way through our free hour we still weren't allowed near a rope. Like the chill atmosphere, but this seems more of a flaff-fest

Great place. Friendly Staff. Clean facility. Has auto belay and a good bouldering section if you are going solo. Chill setting. Looking to spray more than climb, you might like it better elsewhere

Not a bad gym, but it can feel a little cramped when it's moderately busy.

The setting is solid and I like that the gym is pretty chill overall. Almost all the bros even had their shirts on, even the ones who did 5.13a routes on lead!

Love this place- great routes and enough auto belays to stop by and climb on your own for a bit, but not too many to get in the way when climbing with a partner. The gym is nice and has all the equipment you d need, and they have a nice schedule of group classes (which I can t attest to the quality of because I ve never attended any,) and community events.
I can see how some may find there aren t enough low level routes, but I kind of prefer that.

Stopped by while traveling through and was very impressed. Tons of space and cool staff. Check it out

20 years ago I visited for the first time. I was blown away by how friendly everyone was & the quality of the route setting was & still is outstanding. As a former route setter & climbing gym assistant manager in the UK, I had pretty high standards. Over the years I have had private strength training sessions with Chris Wall, participated in many of the climbing competitions held there & appreciated the facility & all it has to offer. A well equipped gym, yoga & strength training classes. My kids have participated in camps & parties & one of them was on the climbing team. It's a great place to bring kids & new climbers as it has a unique beginner climber area. And they have free coffee for the early birds!

I highly recommend this place for people of all skill groups. I am a beginner myself but I saw people clearly able to climb 5.11's or higher on these walls. Good price too! This place had a ton of auto-belays for newbies like myself and my date so don't fret!

Aubrey gave us a seamless transition into climbing. A great experience for 3 first time climbers. Looks like we have a new hobby!!!

Showed up with my rock collection hoping to trade with some people, found out it was a climbing gym.

I only went here for one day to try out their bouldering. The gym is definitely more focused on top rope than bouldering, but the route setting was solid.

Great gym, fun vybe. Good variety of routes. Weight room , yoga classes.

Gets pretty busy but everyone who works there is really nice and helpful. A good amount of auto belays for those solo climbers out there.

Great spot to get your train on or simple enjoy some indoor climbing with friends. They have auto belays, a full gym (weights, treadmills, etc.), a Moon board, and bouldering.

The routes here are awesome! Love jstar's problems.

On my way through Colorado I decided to stop by one of the OG clubs in the US. It did not dissapoint! Stellar and creative route setting and super warm and friendly staff. Some gyms feel like a hookup scene but, thankfully, this is the opposite of that vibe. This is my Boulder gym from now on.

Staff is cool, routes are fun even if you just boulder, tons of belay and autobelay options, weight room filled to the brim with equipment, showers, free coffee until 11?? I will save money by coming here to get my morning cup(s), and I'll get a workout in too! Already being cheaper than anything back home in NC with better amenities and perks makes it hard to beat, AND THEN they hit you with the fact that there's no sign up fee.

This place is a lot of fun. Mostly geared for full sized climbers and boulder brats, but there is a tucked away area up top for mini climbers and wee ones. They do a great school age birthday party complete with challenges and games. Great secret slide too!

The name has changed a time or two over the years. But the club is still spectacular. Updated well kept facility with more routes then you can imagine. Great auto-belay system makes it a place you can climb when you partner has a case of the Friday night flu...

This place Rocks! I used to eat rice for a month, just to save month for a winter membership.

Meh. OKish for climbing but absolutely terrible for bouldering. Also pretty small, easily gets crowded.

Middle of the road climbing gym, not much to be excited about.

Good variety of routes, nice staff. Overall a pretty good gym

Love this gym. Great route setting makes this one of my favorite places

Love this gym...all good. Great routes and auto-belay considerations. Would even be better if they sent out emails to members when groups of young people or route setting or other activities in the gym might impact patrons.

Boulder's premier climbing gym. The Boulder Rock Club is by far my favorite place to train hands down(or up, I suppose). From their many many square feet of climbing, their well rounded fitness room, campus/hang board options, to their recovery room on the 3rd floor, you can get yourself fit in this gym. I've been going to the BRC for almost 6 years now and I must say, like a vintage wine, it just gets better with age. Over the years I've seen many of the same staff members which means people like being there, and it shows. From the route setters, to coaches, and the awesome people at the front desk they all share a love for climbing and sharing their experience on the walls. The community is strong here, people down to belay, making friends, playing, laughter, I really love this gym. Thank you BRC for making this such a fun destination in Boulder, CO.

Ratings are soft, but good variety and very nice staff.
