The climbing itself is excellent, well set routes and a good atmosphere for training. However, I was disappointed to see political messaging displayed throughout the gym. I come to climb specifically to disconnect, focus, and clear my head. Seeing political content in a recreational space took away from that experience. This isn’t about agreeing or disagreeing with any cause, it’s about keeping a space neutral and inclusive for people who come here for mental and physical well-being. I hope the gym considers keeping the focus on climbing rather than politics

Super friendly gym, small but it packs a punch with plenty of blocs. The tape / colour system is hard to follow though, a serious brain workout!

Came for a climb while visiting the area and was immediately in love with this climbing gym!! Interesting & well thought out routes and great additional workout gear — but honestly more importantly: everyone was so friendly, supportive and the sense of community was imbedded in the structure of the space. I wish my local climbing gym was like Shakti! I will be coming back the next time I’m in Montréal.

Having climbed/lived in 4 different countries, visited countless Boulder gyms and loads of outdoor trips, I can confidently say there is NO place like Shakti. Heaven on earth! They will make you feel like a million bucks even if you’re starting out or you’re a seasoned veteran. Leave your ego at the door, climbing at shakti is like climbing outdoors you will work hard but have fun doing it. I miss this gym everyday and am grateful for the life long friends I’ve made through the community here. 🤗

Woohoo I love you Shakti!!!!! This gym is inclusive, friendly and truly unique. It’s me favourite gym in Montreal and let me tell you why: 1. The owners and employees are friendly 2. The problems are interesting and challenging 3. It feels like a community, not just a bunch of people in a room together I’ve met people at the gym who taught me how to climb outdoors, belay, encouraged me to get better and give me tips to work on! When I first climbed here, it’s thanks to the friendly regulars that I wanted to keep on going even when it was hard!
