Best Gyms with Free Parking near Montclair, New-jersey

First thing to say is this gym is ONLY BOULDERING. Just make sure you know this beforehand so you aren’t disappointed and bring a harness to the gym. But when you are aware that it is an only bouldering gym, you realize it’s really good for what it does. There’s a really cool comp wall, a 45 degree overhang, an arch section, slab, and everything in between. Overall a great gym that I’d love to come to again.

Fun place to climb with a knowledgeable, friendly staff. Lots of great climbing for all skill levels. I highly recommend it.

Bouldering only!! The staff is always super friendly and helpful, and the routes are fun and challenging (sometimes the grades are a little wacky but hey). There is also a decent gym section and fitness classes, so you're getting more for your money than just the climbing. Would recommend!

This is a great rock climbing gym. Everyone is very friendly there. One of the workers (Julia) patiently helped me to pick out the shoes that I would need when I decided to purchase my own instead of renting. She gave me great advice when it came to the best type of shoe for beginners, chalk, and bag to buy. There are plenty of problems to climb at this gym. If you're a beginner, you have plenty of safe, fun options when it comes to climbing (VB, V0, V1) There is a small gym with equipment that you can use to warm up before climbing or to just get in a workout ( It has a treadmill, elliptical machine, mats, kettle bells, bosu ball, pull-up bar, etc). The people who work there clean everything thoroughly. The bathrooms are never dirty. Your day pass can be used throughout the same day it is purchased, and you have access to the classes offered that day. Shoe rentals are only $5 and renting a chalk bag will only cost you $3.

Great new addition to the GV family! Located in downtown Montclair and free 3 hour parking in the garage next door (validated parking). Love the thick mats, new holds and varied range and types of bouldering problems!

Would give more than 5 stars if I could, Char is a great gym! The trainers are knowledgable and motivate you to challenge yourself in a safe manner. The space is welcoming and friendly! Loved the variety of classes offered throughout the day to meet my schedule. Great community minded gym that I can’t recommend enough!

I love char! When I started, I was a beginner and it was my first time in a real gym. These classes helped boost my confidence and made me feel strong. All the coaches are so friendly, helpful, and amazing (shout out to Anthony, Rock, and Sam!!). If a movement doesn't work for you, they make sure to modify it or give you an alternative. They also make sure to check in with each person during the workout to make sure you're okay. It makes my teacher heart very happy to see the differentiation and check-ins! :) Overall I love it so much and I am so glad I found it!!

I’ve have taken 20+ HIIT strength classes and I’ve never found myself counting down the minutes like I usually do when working out. The varied workouts keep class interesting and the instructors are great at demonstrating and correcting form. The gym is clean and the class sizes are small. I’m already seeing improvements and am motivated to keep coming back!

Awesome gym ! I recently participated in the HIIT Strength class with Maya at 9a taught on Fridays. Upon arrival I was greeted by Rock, temperature taken, then directed to my assigned area for the workout. The workout was pretty intense! Using my Apple Watch I measured that I was burning about 10-15 calories a minute which is great, especially considering I was doing pretty close to the minimum amount of required reps per exercise. Rock and Maya assisted me in my form (wish they hadn’t because it increased the intensity ten fold lol) and they were always available for any other needs but focused on form to prevent injuries and target the proper muscle groups. At the end of the workout I could definitely say I was beat, it was a great mix of strength training as well as cardio as my heart rate stayed around 140bpm (captured via Apple Watch). We ended with stretches and pain. A lot of measures were taken to safe workout environment, after each session the floor and equipment are cleaned with disinfectant and participants are encouraged to wash their hands at the sink with antibacterial soap. The gym is really cool, I like the dark colors and gritty atmosphere because it sets the mood for hard work(if rocky was staging another comeback he could do it here)! If you want to get in shape or earn your weekend I think this is an awesome place to do it !

Amazing coaches, friendly members, and diverse. Workouts challenge you but they also allow you to modify to what works best for you. They helped me transform my recent mom body! Oh and if you work from home they have 8am classes which most gyms do not.
