The Gravity Vault - Princeton, NJ — Attraction in Plainsboro Township

LOVE this place! As climbers with no nearby gym, my husband and I were absolutely thrilled when the Princeton Gravity Vault opened! There are always good routes in a variety of styles so no matter what you’re working on, you can always find a fun problem, and the gym is clean, welcoming, and deeply community-oriented.

This ambience is not incidental—the staff clearly work hard to foster community at the gym. There are tons of opportunities for climbers at all levels to learn (kids classes, belay classes, lead classes) and to socialize. Recently, I got to connect with some awesome climbers at Ladies’ Night (super fun)! I’m also a HUGE FAN of their YOGA CLASSES! Yoga is a great complement to climbing and there are a range of classes which are approachable for climbers looking to expand and strengthen their physical practice. I go to the Vinyasa Flow on Wednesdays -- fast-paced and smooth, these classes have been a great way to help me rebuild strength and stability in the wake of recovering from an injury, and I learn something new every time!...

Finally a decent bouldering gym in the Princeton area. The problems are good, with some variety. The current setting leans more dynamic or balancey and less crimpy, I prefer crimpy but no problem, they have a kilter board in the back. One or two more light up light up training systems would be a great idea to attract the university crowd.

I was able to chat with the general manager; Gravity Vault is really lucky to have someone who knows the climbing community so well. The success of a gym really depends on the general manager so I hope Gravity Vault takes note.

The weight lifting area looks well set up but I didn’t have a chance to use it yet.

Overall, super happy to see this addition to the area. I’m excited to see how this gym develops over the...

We went to this new rock wall with our kids and their friends during Easter long weekend. It was the first rock climbing experience for most of them! They did 1.5 hour group parties with staff belay with Emily. Super professional and kids friendly. A large collection of fun climbing area for the young climbers at the back. The staff there was very patient from checking in, fitting in shoes, and providing a really fun experience to the five girls for 1.5 hours! They didn’t want to go home at the end of the session. Highly recommend this place for kids or go...
