Central Rock Gym — Attraction in Framingham

We’re in town for a week, so decided to stop by to check out the local gym scene. Right away, we were blown away by the price of a day pass for this gym. Coming from SLC which has some of the best gyms in the country with day pass prices ranging from $22-$29 depending on the gym… CRG’s price was definitely a shock. You pay $26, which doesn’t include rental gear, for a single day pass. The gym itself is fairly small and built into a pit in the ground. While the setting is fun and challenging, there is just not a lot of value here to justify a $26 day pass. My understanding is that they charge that much in order to push people to buy memberships, which is something that only works when you’re local to the area. The day pass price aside, the facility itself was okay, setting was good, and the community of local climbers hanging out was awesome. A solid 3/5 star climbing gym. My rating would definitely go up to 5 stars if the day pass price point...

We have had and are having a wonderful experience at the Central Rock Gym in Framingham. We showed up with 7 teenagers from our school and the staff at the front desk couldn't have been nicer or more helpful even when half the kids forgot one thing or another. Most of our group had not climbed before and what a great place for them to start. There are a ton of routes/problems for them to try. We have been back 5 times in 2 weeks are the kids are still trying to crack a V3 that they love. Every week there's a new wall configuration somewhere. We all love the only bouldering aspect of the gym. The staff on the climbing floor have been patient and helpful and the other climbers are all cool and helpful. It's just been great. ...

I have had a membership at central rock gym for the past few months and going there has been a highlight of my week since day one. I didn’t even acknowledge how much I loved to climb until I started, it truly is a blast and an excellent workout for all kinds of people. After having some health issues over the last couple of months I unfortunately have not been able to go to the gym. When I called to postpone my membership it was handled in an excellent fashion that really helped me feel like a valued member of this gym. I am so grateful for the support given by Harry and am excited to get going rock climbing again here in the future when I’m all healed up. Five stars indeed! Thank you for...
