Method Climbing + Fitness - Newark's Premier Climbing Gym

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.

Method Climbing has a great vibe! super friendly community, fun and well-set routes, and an overall inspiring place to climb. Coach Enrique is awesome too; he’s really knowledgeable, encouraging, and makes every session fun and motivating.

The best bouldering gym I've been to in New Jersey! Such a great facility, staff is awesome, I've been there for multiple competitions & events and every time my group of friends and I have a great time.

Friendly and helpful staff. Nice climbing gym with large bouldering section and also has small section with auto belays for climbing. Has weightroom for lifting as well.

I really miss climbing here 10/10 gym

Great climbing gym. Solid grades. Nice people

Great gym

Huge gym with tons to do, the free liquid chalk is a huge plus

This place is absolutely phenomenal. Staff there is super nice. Went in to try it out and left with a membership. I had a great instructor named Enrique who was incredibly helpful and encouraging on how to get started and how to improve. I wish all other gyms were like this one!

I have tried to get into a regular workout for years, but to be perfectly honest, gyms are usually BORING to me. Not this one though. I come in three times a week, and it feels like a new playground every time. I've only been a member for about a month, but I feel super fit already, and really proud of how I'm beginning to tone. I also took my first yoga class with them in 20 years and I've never felt so internally balanced. And the best part is that the community here is an absolute treasure. I've never felt judged for falling off a wall or putting a harness on wrong by accident, the staff is so nice and helpful when you're figuring things out, and every month, they host multiple events in their cafe and the gym downstairs. Also, this is the only cafe in the area that stays open late, which is sometimes absolutely crucial for my own creative process. I feel truly thankful that I found this wonderful spot after moving to Newark. I hope to keep visiting for many, many moons. :)

Went here last week as a susprise birthday gift. Simply put, this place is amazing. I'd consider myself a complete beginner and couldn't have had a better instructor in Enrique. He was kind, informative, hilarious and most importantly, encouraging as he definitely verbally assisted me through one of the climbs that I truly wouldn't have reached the top without his positive reinforcement.

The space is vast and I didn't feel like I waited for more than a few seconds to do any of the climbs.

The staff is friendly and so, too, as the community.

I would definitely go back.

I had to google this place to see if it was a chain. No shade either way, just curious. It looks like this is privately owned, which is impressive for how smooth the operation is and how extensive the walls and fitness offerings.

I was stuck at the airport after a cancellation and ubered over to get a break. The staff was super kind and chill; even offered the qualifications for some discounts, which I had not asked about. The holds and problems are fun, plenty of tension boards, campus boards, and 45 deg walls to work out in. It’s really well thought out and not fluff and show. Anyone, at any level, should be able to be engaged here.

Not least, the clientele is diverse (age, gender, race, ability, etc.) and it’s obvious the gym is deliberate about providing a comfortable and engaging space for all.

There’s a coffee shop upstairs with some drinks and pastries to refuel after and relax. Really great. Next time I’m stuck in Newark, I won’t be so grumpy, knowing I can pop over to Method.

I loved the variety in the setting. The routes were creative, diverse and genuinely fun to climb. I literally almost missed my flight because I kept wanting to try more!

Had such a great time and experience. The staff are so awesome with children and beginners. A time was had.

Extremely well executed bouldering facility that has excellent angles fun settings , good spray wall, moon and kilter board's

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.

There's so much variety in the things you can do here, I actually come here and set up to study between climbs.

Awesome spo!

Nice staff members, love that they provide chalk, provide good explanations on rock climbing methods/etc. Overall, a great first time experience! Will be returning in the future!

Great place, recommend
