Gravity Climbing Gym - Hamilton

Nice place to indoor climb! Enjoyed the bouldering options, SOOOO many top rope options ! They also open the door in the summer which is nice :)

Some of the route setting can be really good here, even if it is slightly on the harder side.Upgrades to lighting and ventilation seem a bit overdue. A couple lights are often off and the amount/smell of chalk in the air seems worse than other gyms.Also, the hand dryers in the washrooms have worked for a grand total of 2 months during the the past 6 years.

We called for reservation, E-transferred 30$ and they cancelled the session and told us we will return the money. We followed up on money return and they never replied. Called 3 times and they told us we will reply to your email shortly and never replied or return the money. Be careful with the reservation, it turns out that they charge and never will pay back even if they cancel it themselves!

I've been going to Gravity for years, before the pandemic and between the lockdowns.During the pandemic, the staff adapted quickly to the ever-changing health guidelines and even extended the hours to compensate for the limited capacity.The top rope routes are updated regularly, and they added a bouldering section on the 1st floor below the TR and Lead routes.Currently, they resumed the lessons and selling of daily passes.I find a 10-visit punch card to have a better value than a monthly membership. The punches do not expire, unlike the membership.There is no AC, which is understandable, considering the size of the gym. Do bring a water bottle, and be ready to sweat profusely.Update (Feb 3, 2022). Gravity re-opened after another nonsensical lockdown on February 1st. You have to show proof of vaccination once again, but this time with a QR code. You need to do it once, and the updated info will be stored in your membership file. Bring a printed vaccination receipt, a laminated card, or show a QR code on your phone. Don't forget a government-issued ID as well.The booking system has been re-introduced due to imposed capacity limits: 2-hour slots at certain times. The 6-8 pm slots are the most popular. Despite all the inconveniences, it is nice to be back.

Large space with lots of top rope and bouldering options. Parts of the gym are a little squishy but had a great experience. I was hoping for more creative climbs on the slab wall and less overhang strength climbs.I definitely wanna try top ropes because they was such a variety with an impressive lead climb wall.

Thanks to Reid for the detailed explanation at every step of the process. Amazing experience, which wouldn't be possible without Reid! Contact him to make your visit worthwhile.

Two hours of guided climbing with my kids and our friends, and we are now hooked. We had two staff members for our party of 6 who belayed for us and guided us while bouldering. Highest climb is 50 feet! We were told it's the tallest indoor climbing gym in Ontario. Entrance was a little hard to find. Can't wait to go back though!

The staff is great and their walls are HUGE (very tall). The bouldering area is cool, no complaints.The top ropes use multi coloured holds so its pretty interesting and different from other places.They do not have AC to beware on hot days.The main issue is the holds are very dirty and they change the routes infrequently without patterns. After every climb I feel like I need to clean my hands and the water is black from all the dirt.

Jackie was our instructor for the beginners class and she was awesome! She was very thorough, extremely knowledgeable and she made the lesson fun! From what I can tell (being a 45 year old female rookie) the courses are ample and offer many varying degrees of difficulty. To me, this means it's a great place to grow and continue learning! Loved it!

Went here 20 years ago for my birthday. Went again for my birthday this year. So fun. Lots of bouldering options. Nice place. Helpful staff. Sore muscles. Can't wait to go again!
