We loved this place. All the instructors and stuff are incredible and friendly. Our 6-year-old daughter took two seasons of rock climbing classes, and her skill, strength, strategy, and persistence strengthened as she progressed through these classes. 100% recommended! The classes last long enough for the little ones to develop the techniques they've learned. The most important thing is that our daughter is always happy to attend classes!

I've been a member for over a year, and I love it. I have friends in all of my classes and know the instructors personally. It feels like a true community. The classes are amazing - Andrew and Maddie are exceptional yoga instructors. And Val who does HIIT is the best instructor ever. It's affordable and high quality - rare in NYC. Highly recommend this gym!

I’m so grateful to have found this studio. The teachers are incredible, and the way they guide each class, both technically and energetically, always makes me feel welcome and happy to be there ❣️ The community events are also such a beautiful addition. They create space for real connection and a sense of community that every human being needs (especially the ones that just moved to the city 🙋🏾♀️). Thank you all for this beautiful space 🥰

Nice facilities! While it doesn’t have top-roping anymore, everything else about Bouldering Project seems superior to the old Brooklyn Boulders. BP seems well run. The mats gets vacuumed every night. The gym equipment looks clean and organized. The circuit system rating seems pretty on point. I’ve enjoyed my membership and following through on my 2026 goals.

My family and I really love coming here! The after school programs, weekend sessions, and camps for youths are well run and our kids really enjoy the climbing counselors energy and guidance. I decided to become a member just based on the yoga classes, but have delved into climbing as well. The yoga classes are my favorite though and every instructor I've practiced with is exceptional, fun and challenging! It's a very warm and welcoming community!
