This was the best gym I’ve ever climbed at and I have climbed all over Canada. It wasn’t super busy the staff were great and the problems were amazing! They had a great variety of problems and the gym was super big! They also had an amazing workout area they should definitely consider holding a comp there.
Blocs is the homiest bouldering gym. It's the best!! There's just something about it that makes it so comfortable and friendly. Their prices are also good compared to other gyms. Their changerooms are always clean. Their setting is always fun with dynamic!! As a beginner I can always find something to climb. Parking can be tricky if it's busy (usually Thursday and Sunday evenings). But you can just park in the back 👍
Ended up at Blocs last Friday after work and honestly it was exactly the kind of spot I didn't know I was missing in Edmonton. The setting wall on the far side of the gym had a fresh batch of problems that kept me busy for a solid two hours. Staff were genuinely helpful when I was stuck on one of the V4s near the corner, offering tips without being overbearing about it. Definitely making this part of my regular Friday routine.
Awesome place to come and break a sweat. They change the builder problems regularly, and they have skill levels available for almost anyone. Recommended!
Love everything about this gym from the friendliness of the community + staff to... how clean and spacious it is. It has a large training area with a wide variety of hangboards, campus boards, weights etc. The grading here is fair and the sets are fun. There are many unique holds here. The changerooms are spacious with a foot wash area and lockers (bring a lock). There is an early bird special where it is $12 before 1pm otherwise it is $18.
