I have been going to BlocHaus regularly for over 4 years now and it is 100% the most friendly gym in Manchester. The staff and community here are so lovely. They have a variety of wall angles and their new training area is great also. Showers and toilets are always clean and routes are reset regularly. They really invest in their community, offering a range of community nights and competitions. I find that the climbing experience at other gyms in Manchester can feel really commercial, when you climb at BlocHaus you really do feel part of a community. Whether you are relatively new to climbing or super experienced this is the gym for you, it is a space for everyone. Safe to say I will continue to stay loyal to BlocHaus!
Great place to go climbing either alone or with friends. Everything from the equipment to the service and selection in their bar was top notch.
Lots of great climbs of all levels with lots of easy ones for beginners. Top out boulders are great fun and a welcomed change from most gyms. Really friendly staff. Clean toilets and changing rooms.
Absolutely thrilled with our first visit today! My wife, a complete novice to climbing, found the onboarding session spot-on (I did too) our instructor Robin, was incredibly kind, attentive, patient and an excellent teacher. The variety of climbing walls and skill levels is impressive—there's something for everyone! We were so impressed that we signed up as soon as we got home! Looking forward to coming here every day to get into the best shape! The venue is clean, spacious, and the staff are genuinely friendly. Unlike typical gyms, this place welcomes you no matter your fitness level, and there's zero judgment from anyone. The fellow climbers were all very polite too. We both wholeheartedly recommend this place—1000%!
My 10 year old daughter has recently done the kids session on a Saturday morning (10am) and last weekend moved onto the level 1 kids class (12pm) for 4 weeks. £10 per session and you get 90 minutes which i think is really good. Theres a cafe that parents can wait in but you don't have to stay, the prices are very good in the cafe (£1 for tea). There is also free parking outside but easily accessible via the 219 bus also. The center is very clean and all the staff have been friendly and good with the kids. My Daughter really likes the classes and i can see her using this center for a long time!
