Method Climbing + Fitness - Newark's Premier Climbing Gym

Have not tried their memberships yet, but came to see the gym as I'm considering moving to Newark. The place is pretty awesome, they do a great job with the tour, and I'm very excited to join if I move nearby! They have an emphasis on community events and specialize in bouldering, although they have some tall wall as well. They also offer fitness classes like capoeira, which is really interesting!

Getting started with rock climbing was pretty scary for me, after about 7-8 months I feel quite good about it all because of the staff and community there. They are really helping and they are amazing people. Apart from the climbing walls, there is a gym and other fitness classes including yoga and capoeira. All the instructors there are kind and enthusiastic. Thumbs up to all the team. Give it a shot if you want to

This climbing gym has exceeded my expectations. Has a cafe and sells climbing stuff. Routes are awesome and balance for different level of climbers. Has weights, training and campus boards, etc. Staff and community is very friendly. Overall this is an awesome climbing gym!

Perfect gym! Really good routsetting and a very supportive community! 👍👍👍👍👍

This is my home away from home. It’s all love and positive vibes here. A real community. A place Newark needed for a long time.

Came for the climbing, stayed for the community.

I have seen strangers become friends, newbies become crushers, warlocks multiclass into rogues, all in Method. Never have I seen a stronger community or a stronger team of people making dreams come true. The facility is incredibly well thought out. The management is kind and giving. The climbers are diverse and the events are actually fun. Imagine if a bunch of actual climbers ran a gym- thats Method. Come here to crush coffee and boulders and make a friend, stay to become part of the community.

Amazing and unique climbing space with a dedicated cafe. The gym has caring and down to earth owners focused on creating a diverse community of climbers through different events and programs.

I absolutely love Method! The gym sets new routes every single week, so there are always new problems to work at all grades. The community and environment are amazing, it's always been great to interact with everyone and after a long day going there really lightens me up.

Love this place. Its super welcoming has so many community events and everyone is just so awesome here. It feels like home, a fun climbing home!

A very amazing place. The staff are genuinely THE nicest people on the planet. The gym is a great place to meet Like-minded people who love climbing. I’ve learned so much just from watching others and simply saying hello/ asking questions. It’s a great environment, and I’m always challenging myself there. I leave the gym always feeling so accomplished and eager to get back. Every single time. I’m really happy I was introduced to this amazing gym and community. 10/10.

Method is a great place and the community is amazing! Its the first place I went climbing and Im glad it was. I got to know so many different people and the bouldering itself is amazing. The route setting is fun and not all stagnant or boring. Great place!

Awesome well kept gym with regularly changing holds, lovely people, and great community

Best. Gym. Ever . Great community, awesome front desk, awesome baristas at the coffee shop, fun free-weight gym, 10/10

We feel so lucky to have this place! It has such a wonderful sense of community, and our kids (11 and 8) feel at home here. Our 8 year old son had his birthday party here, which was AMAZING. They had creative climbing- based games for the kids and they even put goody bags at the top of the climbs. They were so patient and kind with each of the kids – I can’t imagine a better place for a birthday party!!!

The route setting was fantastic, staff was friendly, great community that seemed friendly to beginners. Parking was validated and only cost $4.

Great climbing gym with owners that emphasize community. The boulders are well set with a nice mix of styles (competition, "finger-y", slab, steep, etc.). They set the walls in sections so there's enough time to work on projects but there's also a new set every other week. Rope climbs are excellent with many auto-belays if you train alone. They're short (35-40 feet) but are very technical and thoughtfully set. The resistance training, campus board, selection of hangboards, treadwall, spray wall, moonboard, and tension board are great for training at all levels.

Awesome climbing gym! Great community! A little expensive, priced at about 95$ per month, but overall a great place.

Areas are kept clean, and route setting is great and problems are really interesting. The best part… Method isn’t just a climbing gym but a great community.

I LOVE this gym, the walls are challenging but still fun, the community is nice, the teachers (capoeira and yoga) are great. I always have a good time.

Great bouldering gym! Frequent new routes, a very active community also doing other things than climbing (e.g. D&D). The fitness classes (Capoeira, Yoga, TRX) are included in the membership and offer a good opportunity to try some new stuff. Also, they have a slackline in the toprope corner! 5/5 would recommend

Definitely a comp style gym. People talk about this place all over. I work at a gym and central Pennsylvania and people know about Method which is wild. Such a fun place to go. I haven’t had much experience with the community since I only go there sporadically but it’s a very fun place to climb. I definitely get humbled since the style of climbing is so different from what Im used to but so much fun. The only complaint I have is really just the staff experience. I’ve never had a bad experience with the staff, but generally they kind of just ignore you. I’ve definitely gone and expect you to maybe have some cool conversations with other stuff since I also work at a gym, but for the most part still only really talk to you if you ask them questions. I don’t know, maybe it’s just since my gym really emphasizes that customer experience but otherwise this gym is pretty phenomenal and I still give it five stars.

Awesome gym! Wonderful Community ♥️

My favorite place! Best community, amazing climbing, doesn’t get much better than this. Been climbing here the past couple years and it never disappoints. They’ve got something for people of all skill levels, as well as an awesome fitness facility. Makes me happy to see family owned gyms like this thrive. I’ll be coming back here far into the future!

Great route setting, great vibe, great community.
