“Had a fantastic first experience at this gym thanks to the staff. They are very accommodating and understanding! And the day was extra special thanks to Darcy and Marissa. Goat Gym has always been out of my way, but I'll definitely be coming back sooner than I originally thought. Darcy runs an excellent orientation. He made it feel like an open forum of learning; it was engaging! How do I book a second orientation? 🤔 And Marissa is a swiss-army-knife problem solver. She could just read my face and point me in the right direction; she was that good. Thank you to all the staff”

“Took my nephew to this gym for his first ever climbing lesson! He is under 10 and we booked a 1:1 to get a good intro. Christian was the assigned instructor and he was INCREDIBLE with my nephew. Christian was communicative, beyond patient, provided gentle instructions, and listened to my nephews questions, observations and concerns. Christian was so attentive, made my nephew laugh and provide a memorable experience to our family. Thanks so much Christian!”

They coached our group through everything, hyped us up the whole time, and really made us feel comfortable and confident. Top-tier customer service for real!I had so much fun and will 100% be back. Thank you!”
