Been to a lot of climbing gyms in North Jersey but I got to say this was one of my favorites. The staff were extremely nice and helpful. First timers get free shoe rental which is awesome! The gym itself is also really nice with lots of climbs for every level. There is also a weightlifting gym in the middle. The lockerroom and bathroom is also very nice big and clean. 10/10!

Best bouldering gym in the state of NJ, hands down. There’s not much else to say. If you like rock climbing and are in the North Jersey area, find a time to get to Method.

I only came for the weight room. They have quality power racks and bars, with Olympic style plates, and all the gear you need for serious weightlifting. They even have a glute ham raise and trap bars. Not only do they have two full racks but you can also set up the pull up bars as half-racks and they even have squat stands available too. There's no shortage of places to squat and bench press here. Amazing. Confusingly, the gym is in the basement. The upstairs section that you see from the street is a cafe. The cafe is also extremely nice, with bathroom and Wi-Fi and plenty of seating. The climbing section of this gym, and the main focus of the facility, is just enormous. I've never seen so many climbing walls in my life, seems like every single wall from floor to ceiling is set up for either bouldering or climbing. The gym has bathrooms with lockers and showers. Though compared to the massive size of the facility, the bathroom feels a little disproportionately small. There's a conspicuous lack of towels, which is a little inconvenient considering all the chalk, floor dirt, and sweat you're gonna accumulate especially on your phone if you're tracking your lifts. The entire gym floor has good WiFi coverage. The clientele and staff seems to include a large proportion of students from the nearby university. The staff are extremely nice and helpful. The billing for the gym has a variety of monthly rates and you can purchase a set number of visits, weeks, or months of access. Prices are in the ballpark of $96/month. Thank God they don't use those horrible commercial gym membership scam contracts here. I haven't tried to cancel my membership yet but it seems like it should be easy and the billing doesn't appear to have any commitment required. When you arrive at the gym you just check in via the computer terminals by looking up your phone number and clicking "check in", super easy. They have drinks for sale, but it doesn't seem like they stock any sort of energy drinks which is a bummer. Please get some of the sugar free Monsters 😁 Edit: they do stock sugar free energy drinks but they appear to sell out quickly Overall this gym is pretty amazing. Never in my life have I seen such a massive, expertly equipped facility that is so user friendly. It seems too good to be true. Very impressive.

So I’m definitely in the minority here, this place has plenty of climbing, but for me I actually use the workout area much more often. The workout area is basically fitted in classic CrossFit style and they allow you to drop weights. They have 4 racks where you could squat or bench and more room to deadlift or Olympic lift. Definitely a great place to workout. They also have a plenty of dumbbells, kettlebells, and a few machines. Love this place, and the climbing is good too.

My first time going here. I got the day pass which includes the day entry, chalk, shoes (about $25) per person. I’m a beginner so there weren’t many places I could climb for 0-2 level. Overall, the place is nice and not that crowded even on weekend. There is a gym inside and ping pong table as well.
