Urban Climb Collingwood: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Great climbs and yoga, been a member for years. Can get busy in the evenings though.
Negative experience: Pretty useless location for anyone that needs to come in a car. No customer parking and Collingwood is not free parking friendly.
Fantastic experience: 멜버른에서의 일주일 여행 중 4일을 여기서 보냈어요. 첫날 일일권과 대여화까지 결제를 하면, 2주간 대여화를 포함하여 시설을 무료로 이용할 수 있다는 점이 아주 편리했어요. 시설은 매우 깨끗하고 잘 관리되어 있으며 요가수업도 한번 들었는데 그녀는 전문적인 요가강사같았고 스트레칭을 통해 그동안 뭉쳤던 근육들을 잘 풀고 회복할 수 있었어요. 멜버른에서의 클라이밍은 나를 더 성장하게 만들었고 행복한 추억이었습니다
Fantastic experience: First visit here, was greeted immediately and given a quick rundown. Place was pretty busy but the community here is awesome and welcoming! Fitness gym and second bouldering area are accessible by exiting onto the street first. Great climbs, great gym, great people!
Positive experience: The bouldering facility offers various climbing experiences and excellent amenities that create a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. However, it can get too busy, with overcrowding and long wait times for climbs. Additionally, the payment options are outdated, resembling a bank loan that locks people into a 6-month fixed term instead of a modern "no lock-in" payment option. Friendly staff.
Positive experience: a pretty poor display of service and hospitability after completing my first-time survey, waiting around for a good while before staff finished their chat behind the counters to finally assist me in entry. another unfortunate showcase of poor attitude from them as well, i paid no mind to it, but it certainly comes off quite off-putting when i was about to spend a couple of hours here. the space itself was quite hospitable with plenty of great amenities, seats, tables, activites, and even gratis sparkling water. the boulders were good too, with lots of problems fitted to this reasonably sized gym. they've also got another section for spray walls and comp problems, which was neat, and strength training. it was also quite humid inside, and can get pretty hot.
Fantastic experience: friendliest staff and $29 a week for unlimited gym, boulder and classes is so good :)
Fantastic experience: This gym is very popular and for good reason: frequent resets with interesting and varied routes make this gym one you can visit often even if you're not a climber who is into "projects." Two new sections add useful additional value to the venue (workout section, additional classes, more bouldering space, a bigger spray wall area) while also helping distribute the crowd of avid climbers who frequent UC.
Fantastic experience: Did a yoga session not too long ago which was quite a nice exercise. Definitely a plus given access to the bouldering gym facilities. Also the new addition of strength and weights training room makes your membership go a long way! So worth it!! There’s so many amenities now and I heard from staff there will be more!!
Fantastic experience: fave boulder gym in melbs
Positive experience: The Indian staff was pretty passive aggressive.
Fantastic experience: I used the Urban Climb gym to train Calisthenics and some weight training and it had everything I needed and more. Dip belt, bands, barbells, good pull up bars, it had it all. The climbing gym has a really cool high quality vibe. Would recommend.
Fantastic experience: This facility was very good and the huge selection of boulders made this a very special gym
Fantastic experience: Nice bouldering gym, with interesting routes for intermediate level (my climbing level), staff is very friendly and helpful. Also you get two weeks for free with your first inscription!!!
Negative experience: Not my choice when there are other options around. Consider: routesetting, vibes, ventilation especially in hot weather, parking
Fantastic experience: Chill
Fantastic experience: Great place, friendly staff and supporting environment! They also promote 2 weeks free for new members, which is cool. Definitely coming back!
Fantastic experience: Great facilities. It was pretty busy the day I went but everyone seems to be super friendly and allows you to take turns on the wall.
Fantastic experience: My favourite bouldering gym in Melbourne, lots of climbs for both beginners and intermediate climbers. Always very clean, both the staff and other climbers are always nice. Just a really great place to be.
Negative experience: The gym is pretty good. Apparently gets very busy though. Rated 2 stars because I believe they have bad business practices in that you must pay an additional $6 for "first timers". It was justified to me that you get 2 free weeks out of it which is great and in line with other gyms' starter deals but it is not great when you are visiting Melbourne on holiday and won't be able to use it. $37 for gym and shoe hire is very steep.
Fantastic experience: Bella palestra di bouldering non lontana dal centro di Melbourne e raggiungibile con i mezzi pubblici.
Fantastic experience: Urban Climb is a hidden gem in Collingwood! The staff are super friendly, there are lots of events to get the members engaged, and it’s just a great vibe all around. Climbing, dogs, yoga, coffee - what more could you want!!
Fantastic experience: Love the settings and yoga classes. It sometimes does get a bit smelly and busy.
Fantastic experience: Great climbing gym! Has an array of routes for all levels. The staff are super friendly and accommodating too!
Positive experience: Price is a bit steep for those Intending on a 1 time visit. Wait time for the Introduction was a bit too long. Gym has a good variety of different climbs but the gap between each grade is a bit much for those looking to excel/improve. Staff could be a bit more attentive to people walking in/waiting to be served at counte.
Fantastic experience: I had an absolutely delightful time. Price is very reasonable, the area is quite big with a lot of very fun problems. Friendly and helpful staff and facilities are solid. Absolutely recommended if one is in Melbourne or are just stopping by like myself. Can't wait to return in the future.
Positive experience: You can get your cuppa on a Saturday morning as well after a Yin yoga class run by friendly and fantastic instructor, Jasmine.
Fantastic experience: Well maintained, friendly staff, climbers and dogs, good membership deals, and sparkling water on tap
Negative experience: Rude Indian guy at the front, I don’t understand the rush and unhelpful comment asking for my QR Code as if I wasn’t already getting it out. I haven’t been climbing for 6 months and it’s easy to forgot how things work, this guy did nothing to help except rushing and repeating the comment to get my QR code. Was already on the website but the guy insisted I scan their QR code which directed me to the page I was already on anyways.
Fantastic experience: Visiting Melbourne for a couple days and had an itch to boulder We came here for a day pass but turned out first timers also get a two-weeks free pass after the first day. The gym looked busy when I arrived around 6:40pm on a Sunday, but luckily it didn't feel too crowded. I also love that the gym allows dog! The problems are diverse and super fun. I'm a V2-V3 climber and I enjoyed all the purple problems, especially on the slab wall!
Fantastic experience: Great bouldering with progressive beta’s and awesome opening hours. The sparking water here is also way better than blackburns.
Positive experience: A good bouldering gym the main let down is the lack of parking it has about 5 parking spots for a climbing gym that would easily hold more than 30 people making it awfully hard to stay long enough for a n enjoyable climb
Positive experience: All urban climb facilities are excellent, this one has just outgrown the premises a bit. The holds are worn with chalk and rubber from heavy use and it can be packed at peak times. Still a great gym.
Negative experience: I am disappointed with the service of this climbing gym -collingwood, the guy that serviced me was rude, and was also rude to my friend, it was an indian dude, there was sexiest remarks, do not recommend this gym, there is better climbing gyms in melbourne, no one should put up with this, he refused to tell us about the membership options and communication was poor. I have been to a lot of great gyms in london and moving to melbourne this being my first one it was very poor, I hope they take their staff on a customer service course.
Fantastic experience: Very good spot! My first ever Bouldering experience was over here and it was a good one. Drawbacks are it gets really busy and the parking is hard but otherwise I really enjoyed the various grades and variety of climbs and the good service
Fantastic experience: I had great experience here, so much fun and also challenging. Definitely should try it out. 7$ for shoes but no need to buy again for the next week (trial). Chalk is for 3$ each time.
Fantastic experience: Good facilities and staff are very friendly and helpful. Recommend.
Fantastic experience: Start from a coffee...
Positive experience: BOULDERING ONLY. I wish I was more aware of that before I went. Friendly patrons and staff.
Fantastic experience: I recently had the opportunity to visit Urban Climb Collingwood, and it turned out to be a fantastic indoor climbing venue. Situated conveniently on Down St, just a few blocks away from Smith St, the location couldn't have been more ideal. As a first-time boulderer, I felt welcomed and supported by both the friendly staff and fellow gym goers. The atmosphere was vibrant and encouraging, creating a positive environment for climbers of all skill levels. I visited on a Sunday afternoon, which happened to be slightly busy, but it was expected considering the popularity of the place. Despite the crowd, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and found the facilities to be well-maintained and equipped.
Positive experience: Loved the problems however it could be really crowded and sometimes you have to wait to get in not worth getting a membership if you can only go weekdays night. Great community though I can see why it’s so packed. They should expand the gym!
Negative experience: Has a lot of potential but there have just been so few boulders in each set lately that its only worth going every few weeks for it to actually be worth it.
Fantastic experience: Great friendly staff. Well setted gym. Will be back again.
Fantastic experience: Great to meet new people. Lovely staff and awesome atmosphere. Gets pretty busy but its fun to get amongst the vibe
Fantastic experience: Great gym! Very kind staff and very good installations, the place also have a lot of space in the second floor to enjoy in between the climbing session. Water is always available :) was a fun experience!
Fantastic experience: 날씨 때문에 바다에 가려던 일정이 취소돼서 급하게 찾아서 방문했는데 너무 만족스러웠습니다! 공간도 쾌적하고 이용하는 사람들도 매너있고 좋았어요 직원분들도 친절하십니다! 처음 오시는 분들은 회원 등록을 하고 이용하는데 혹시 외국에서 처음 오신 분들이라면 호주 휴대폰 번호 미리 체크해놓고 방문하세요! (전 유심을 사용해서 제 번호를 기억 못해가지고 회원 등록할 때 어버버거리다가 시간이 좀 걸렸어요ㅠ) 그렇지만 좋은 시간 잘 보내고 갑니다 :)
Fantastic experience: Best climbing gym in Melbourne. Good facilities and challenging climbs. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Small but very nice bouldering center!! All types of level, each “colour” being well separated from the previous one. All types of route as well with very nice and interesting (and challenging) sets! The place has yoga classes as well as a fitness area. Very nice staff, cool atmosphere! Love it!
Fantastic experience: Great climbing gym with an awesome community. They have all the training features you need. Staff are super friendly and knowledgeable.
Positive experience: Dropped by there when I was in town a few months back - friendly staff, adorable doggos and quality routes! Although when I was there they were resetting a section so I couldn’t try every single wall in the gym. Everything else was good; clean toilets etc. only gripe is that the location is a liiiiittle bit out of the way if you don’t drive! But I would still return
Fantastic experience: Great staff, amazing routes, awesome facility
Fantastic experience: Great bouldering gym. Free WiFi, free finger tape and an extensive water station with a sparkling water tap! Amazing. Gym is a decently sized. Lot's of grades & climbs. Gym architecture has a 'social' feel about it. Wish there was more walls like the West End branch but alas, space is finite ;) Very nice 2-week trial period for ~$30. Excellent job guys.
Fantastic experience: Good variety of rocks and challenging climbs with very noticeable changes between each level of difficulty, had a very nice work out and spent 2 hours trying to complete 1 climb, muscles in pain.
Positive experience: A very nice gym with interesting and challenging boulder problems. It gets super-crowded at peak times and you might need to wait to get in.
Fantastic experience: Really nice facilities and atmosphere
Fantastic experience: Whether quiet or busy this place has great atmosphere. Also, their membership works super well (unlike normal gyms).
Positive experience: Great place, helpful people! Only thing stopping it being 5 is that the climbs could do with changing more often and sometimes abit to busy! Overall very enjoyable.
Fantastic experience: Little crowded, but lively atmosphere, friendly people and staff.
Negative experience: Gym might be nice but they won't answer the phone after multiple attempts on different days.
Fantastic experience: Everyone is super friendly. The setting is super high quality - the lower grades are educational, and there’s great progression. Love the coffee. Only downside is parking availability is super patchy.
Fantastic experience: Came here while on a trip down from Sydney. Staff were friendly, helpful and induction was professional. Climbs were a nice variety and the place had a lovely feel. Other climbers were friendly too. What's not to like?
Fantastic experience: Rad gym, new routes all the time, always a good time!
Fantastic experience: This place is so amazing, you can climb all day if you want( if you have a lot of energy) The staff were so friendly and had female friendly toilets(There are prepared period kit in the toilet)
Fantastic experience: Great climbs. Clear differences between grades and very interesting setting.
Fantastic experience: Living up in Cairns has denied me this pleasure of bouldering so when I came down for the weekend this was my first stop. Such a Brooklyn vybe in this joint! All inclusive atmosphere from climbers of all levels just respecting each other's space but also readily giving out tips on routes. Great environment and top notch experience all around. Shout out to Gus for being the first and best face I saw in this place. Great hospitality :-)
Positive experience: Ok gym, staff member was quite rude on entry and route setting leaves a bit to be desired. Not going to be my first (or fifth) choice in Melbourne anytime soon.
Fantastic experience: Excellent bouldering gym, but avoid between 7-8pm to skip the crowds.
Fantastic experience: Best climbing gym of Melbourne, shower is the key
Fantastic experience: The staff are really friendly and helpful. The problems are always getting updated, they have a squat rack, dumbbells, propped exercise bike, rowing machine, assault bike and yoga. Also they now do single classes. Always been really impressed with the level of professionalism and focus on high quality service here.
Fantastic experience: Super place - great atmosphere, very friendly. As you walk in, you feel like you're stepping into a community...your community. The staff are very helpful and make you feel very welcome. Plenty of different climbs for beginners to advanced and they seem to add and change routes regularly. The free week is terrific and really gives you a good sense of the place and all that it offers. I particularly love all the 'little things' they do to make your visit special and personal. Need finger tape...it's there for you...need a bandaid...also there when you need it...need a tampon or sanitary pad...stocked in the female toilet upstairs...and more!
Fantastic experience: nice bouldering location, plenty of climbs and a good range of difficulty
Fantastic experience: Great facilities and lovely community of people. Suitable for all levels of experience!
Fantastic experience: Good atmosphere, friendly people and helpful staff
Fantastic experience: Best climbing centre in Melbourne? I think so
Fantastic experience: So much fun!
Fantastic experience: Nice gym. Bouldering only. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere!
Fantastic experience: Awesome vibes, great climbs suitable for both beginners and advanced climbers. Great gym to start climbing!
Fantastic experience: Review in Sep 2021 Great bouldering gym which also runs fitness classes, yoga classes, etc. They offer you the climbing shoes rental and also sell other necessary stuff like chalk. You can get your cuppa on a Saturday morning as well after a Yin yoga class run by friendly and fantastic instructor, Jasmine. Updated in Apr 2022 Still an amazing place to do bouldering, calisthenics, and weights etc. In particular, yoga classes run by Leigh are top notch and highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Best place to climb! Friendly people and amazing venue.
Fantastic experience: Fun activity, friendly staff! Loved it!
Fantastic experience: Great gym, creative problems, wonderful friendly atmosphere. Beginner friendly. Varied problems with a good amount of slab and vertical walls. The climbing is fantastic, only thing I’d ask for is more times for yoga (morning/lunch) and some cookies/pastries! As my feedback is non-climbing related, that speaks to how good it is!
Fantastic experience: This place is great, parking is a bit hard on more crowded days but it’s manageable, the staff are very friendly and helpful and so are the other climbers. I think it is much better than other gyms I have been to and I would definitely recommend. All I wish is that the age limit was a little bit younger to support the next generation of climbing
Fantastic experience: Great place for bouldering
Fantastic experience: Very helpful staff and a great open space. Very friendly community too.
Fantastic experience: Love climbing here, super friendly staff, great environment and really fun climbs of course. I never thought I'd get into it climbing but I'm more than likely going to be getting a membership now!
Fantastic experience: Wicked energy! Lovely helpful staff! Doggos galore! Sparkling water on tap?! Amazing!
Fantastic experience: Good climbs and very friendly staff and good gym facilities, all round would recommend :) dog friendly aswell
Fantastic experience: Urban Climb Collingwood was my first ever bouldering experience, and I was absolutely delighted with the venue and the staff. Everyone there was exceptionally friendly and encouraging. I will be back for more. Very addictive.
Fantastic experience: A really nice climbing environment with a really great atmosphere and a good collection of routes to choose from. I find that the jump from the purple difficulty to the green/orange one can be a bit steep, though. The purple tends to be too easy and the green/orange tends to be too difficult. It would be nice if there was a level in between. I’ve never been to yoga or any other fitness classes here but they’re offered here too and I’ve heard good things about them. It has a small personal training area off to the side but no free weights as far as I know, just some bars, a training wall and two gymnast hoops.
Fantastic experience: For a first experience at bouldering, I was most pleasantly surprised at the friendly and relaxed atmosphere in the gym. What I loved most was the few dogs wondering around in the gym. The instructors were really pleasant and patient, taking you through the introductory video and then the practice climb. Will come back again!
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and great gym.
Fantastic experience: Amazing place, great vibe and great interactions with other climbers
Fantastic experience: Love Urban Climb. One of my favourite places to climb. The staff are always super friendly, the climbs are interesting, and the space is a decent size.
Fantastic experience: If you're interested in picking up a new hobby or looking for a new form of physical exercise, a trip to Urban Climb Collingwood is highly recommended. The staff were both professional and knowledgeable. The centre offers a wide variety of climbs for all skill levels and the installations are well kept. A great spot for your next workout or group event.
Fantastic experience: Great climbs, good music (except the occasional techno), warm community
Fantastic experience: Such a fun place. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Jo was awesome helping me sign up and the place is great
Positive experience: The staff here were really friendly and the routes were good. I can do purples to green which are their medium difficulty routes. They have many levels of difficulty which allow you to progress more incrementally. Not my favourite gym as it is quite small and typically quite crowded too. It does get rather stuffy and humid inside on warmer days. Parking is also a massive pain unless you take public transport of course. They have a small gym upstairs with weights and cardio equipment which I like. Allows me to get two things done in the one session.
Fantastic experience: Great bouldering hall and good vibes.
Positive experience: Sophie there shows us how to falls safety and the climbs were hard but enjoyable.
Fantastic experience: Not too busy, but a friendly crowd and great setting as always.
