The Gravity Vault Middletown, NJ

Had a great time watching my kid climb here and he had a blast! Really tempted to sign up for a membership. Currently weighing the shorter term option instead of the 12 month just so we can give it a shot and not feel bad if we decide this isn’t for us in the longer term.

The staff is welcoming, helpful and courteous. I enjoyed my climb. Fun and safe facility that I would most likely return to. Came at a great price too.

Omg my son is 15 and this was our first time coming but definitely not our last. He had a amazing time. Prices our very good. I love how they made different themes and levels for the climbs. This is definitely a place like no other. Don't take my word for it just go visit.

This place is not bad. It's nowhere near the best gym I've been to (Vital in Williamsburg, Brooklyn!). I go mainly because of proximity. I have one major complaint in particular: the floor in the bouldering area. The floor itself is just foam pads that are literally connected with tape, and the tape is failing in the high-trafficked areas. This foam is not intended for falling on, though. This is the only climbing gym I've ever been to (and I've been to many) that uses *crash mats* instead of having the entire floor be fall-safe. If that were the extent of the problem, I'd say ok fine, four stars. But the mats are in terrible condition. Some of them are so beaten up that they're barely better than just falling on the foam floor surface. And it's been that way for the two or so years I've been climbing here. The lack of attention to this problem is a bit galling to me. Otherwise: There's some good route setting, and the staff is quite friendly! I've heard some folks complain about the infrequency with which the problems are changed out, but it's not a huge deal to me, given that I can always try harder stuff. The number one thing this gym could do to improve, in my opinion, is to fix the problem I highlighted above.

It's pretty hard, but that makes it fun. One of NJ toughest gyms I would say. Who doesn't love a challenge? Try it out!!
