Rocksport Climbing Gym

I took my little sisters here for a little bit of active fun and we had a good time! My arms were like noodles so I was not able to climb many of the walls but the girls did. The staff was very helpful the entire time. I appreciate yall!

Rock sport climbing gym is a fun adventurous challenging experience for people that want to get out and about. They have a nice facility that offers a variety of challenges and they really put you to work but it is definitely a good experience and something that is fun and a good time.

What a great way tto try something new in the new year! Took my teen daughter & a friend today for a day pass at Rocksport. After registering and paying (thanks Entertainment book coupon!), instructor Ann demonstrated rope tying techniques and had the girls practice repeatedly to ensure safety. Ann then spent time on all safety aspects in belaying and after each step had each girl demonstrate until they got it right. Ann stayed to assist as they each did their first climbs and gave feedback and tips. My mom friend and I were impressed with the positive demeanor, experience, and enthusiasm for the sport evident in the staff present. Our teens felt confident in giving this a try and want to return soon to practice and climb to new heights! Us moms are thinking about trying it..maybe.

I've been here twice now and I would recommend it to anyone looking to try something new, the daily rental (which isn't expensive) covers a day pass and rental gear. The staff is very nice and helpful. This is a great building that has a lot to offer- from a small gym to all sorts of climbing.

From food to experiences, I'm a fan of trying new things. So when a friend mentioned recently that she wanted to try rock climbing, I was up for trying -- with a caveat: I wasn't sure how I would feel about the height. When I mentioned this to her, she confessed to a touch of acrophobia as well. We showed up recently at Rocksport for an introductory lesson. Faye was our instructor. She greeted us upon entering the facility and helped us to sign our waivers and find the appropriate size for our climbing shoes. After a quick tutorial on knot-tying, we were ready to scale the wall. Somehow the wall looks shorter from the ground than it does as you're climbing and looking for your next foothold. Determined as I was, though, I wanted to make it to the top. Faye called out encouragement and suggested footholds and handholds that may have been difficult for me to see as I climbed. After a few short minutes, I had reached the top! My friend and I climbed several of the routes on the wall that night, some with the help of Faye and -- as we progressed -- on our own. At the end of the night, we returned to that first wall. It was a breeze to scale, and even turning around from the top to wave didn't faze us. Don't let a touch of acrophobia keep you from finding a new favorite place at Rocksport! I'm glad I took the leap to climb and enjoyed the view from the top that evening. It won't be long before I'm back to try it again.

I can't feel my arms but well worth it! These classes are amazing and as a beginner they taught me well. Felt unstable by the end of the class. No gear is needed. A little pricier than a normal gym workout. Clean area. Employees are helpful and willing to share their passion.

I took a rock climbing course at UofL with Rob as our instructor during undergrad and so did my little sister many years later. It was a fun class. We recently went there again. The place was awesome. Some of our friends suffered from acrophobia but they were manage to finish several walls so don't let that prevent you from having the time of your life. Challenge yourself. Rob, the owner of the gym, was really friendly and helpful. He showed us so many great techniques to conquer those walls. Everything was excellent from the wide range of courses from beginner to expert to safety and the friendliness of the staff. The price was reasonable. One bad thing is the lack of parking space if you have a big group. If you're looking for a fun time while getting fit, this is the place to be.

The people are friendly and laid back. Just respect the gym and the people and you're set. No gear required, rental equip is available, call ahead if you have a group and any first time climbers have to take a top rope class.

My wife and I brand new to the sport. Took the beginners class that was informative and easy to understand. We were climbing on our own in 30 minutes. I like the laid-back environment, great music playing while you climb. Overall a great experience both for my wife and I, who decided to spend our anniversary trying something new. We will definitely be back and hope to be regulars. I should also add that the manager went over and above. I had a lot of questions about outdoor climbing, the steps I need to take to be able to climb on my own, and he was very helpful, not condescending to someone completely uneducated about the sport. The climbing area was very clean and well maintained as were the walls. The other climbers seemed to really take care of everything. A couple things I found a little off and maybe it was just the day - the office lights were off so we thought the place was closed when we walked in. They were never turned on until it grew dark outside. Saving electricity? I'm cool with that, but it was a slightly odd. Maybe a little better care of the bathrooms...I look forward to learning as much as I can about the sport and spending some more time at Rocksport - thanks for putting together such a great business in Louisville!

Such a great place! Went today and the staff was PHENOMENAL! They were so kind with my kids and made them all feel comfortable climbing (was the first time for all of them). Can't wait to come back!
