The staff was very knowledgeable, kind, and safe. Felt very comfortable learning how to rock climb- so many great walls, perfect for all level abilities!

Friendly staff, clean facilities. Very kid friendly environment. Love this place.

Hoosier Heights Bloomington is Awesome! The staff are professional, helpful, and supportive of climbers of all levels of experience and the facility is amazing! Not only does it have an awesome roped climbing building where you can top-rope, auto-belay, and lead climb, but it has a separate chapel with a huge indoor boulder and training rooms, weight rooms and lounge in the basement, and a huge yoga space in the original chapel.

Out of the way but worth the drive. Facility is well made and creative. Safety is very obviously respected. Staff are amazingly friendly and helpful. They truly care. My son loves the summer camps.

This place is awesome. Great workout great experience. A must for everybody.

I can’t say enough amazing things about this facility and staff. They have brought a new passion of mine to life with their kind help and outstanding facility. If you are hesitate about getting into such an amazing sport, I would suggest a visit to this location where you willNot be judged and taught how to properly climb and find some new friends!

Very helpful and friendly staff.

Edit: the owner has asked I contact him regarding my concerns. In fairness, I am removing my review until hes had a chance to address them with me.

Friendly community, much more than just a gym/exercise facility. Always clean, good variety of routes and boulder problems. The boulder room is in the sanctuary (building used to be a church) and is absolutely beautiful.

I had a great time with my friends here. Fun is available for the whole family. Reasonably priced day passes. Staff was helpful and made me feel safe. Can’t wait to return! Thanks for being awesome.

Great first-time climbing experience!

New member and very happy! Everyone is kind, helpful, and the staff has already started treating me and my partner like friends. Love the gym and very excited about the community.

It is one of the coolest setups Ive ever seen for a climbing gym. Separate bouldering, roped climbing, and yoga all in a B-town historical building. Routes are great, updated frequently, clean holds. Little pricey for a day pass ($25 is what youd pay in San Francisco), but worth it.

I think its a fun activity and the fact is ---there is not much to do in B-town. So this is just perfect. It does get a bit too hot in the summer, so I wish for a better AC but its a great workout. I love being a member---free yoga once a week is a nice perk.Overall, one happy climber.:)

Do some research into this climbing gym, until things change, until a light is shined onto some past experiences and continuous neglect and mistreatments of both employees and the community as a whole, I advise against this membership. Check Facebook tags for more

Lack of competition means Hoosier Heights Bloomington has little reason to prioritize the member experience and the business continues to make decisions that clearly communicates profit is more important than fostering a climbing community. The desk / climbing staff are wonderful, the setting is good, however, the management-level decisions make me wish I had another gym option in town.The Bloomington climbing community is massively friendly, welcoming, and stoked on climbing. On any given weekend at the Red youll see familiar faces from the gym. Hoosier Heights Bloomington has provided a space for this community to hangout, climb, train, and make friends,however, the gym itself is just a location, Hoosier Heights doesnt feelcommitted to strengthening the climbing community or invested in their members.One example... Hoosier Heights recently announced a number of membership price increases:- Monthly Auto-pay memberships increased from $59.00 to $64.00- Month-to-Month memberships increased from $74.00 to $89.00- Single membership start up fees have increased from $25 to $35- Family membership start up fees have increased from $50 to $65Along with the pricing changes the following changes are coming into affect as well:- Free friend friday (Members can bring a friend, for free, on that last friday of the month) will soon no longer be available. Members now get 5 free guest passes PER YEAR. (This info per a call to the desk staff at the gym)- Expanded hours - Open early a number of days a week. I am unsure on details.- Free first visit for a friend of member - Previously members could bring a friend (whos never been to Hoosier Heights before)for free. The Hoosier Heights site now indicates Additionally, members when climbing with first time friends are eligible to purchase a discounted day pass for their friend! I am unsure on the details of this change.Personally the price increases feel like a money grab. There are no notable improvements to the space or facility, no announcement of better wages for the staff, and no extended amenities. $89 is frankly ridiculous for a medium sized city in Indiana and prices out many IU students and community members who dont have much disposable income.Pros- Many free fitness and yoga classes. IF you are a user of this perk than the membership fee becomes more palatable when considering the cost of classes individually- Reciprocal memberships with Hoosier Heights Indy and Climb Nulu- Repurposed church is a really cool space to hangout / climb in- Community events are held occasionally (with food and drink) and are fun. One example was a fun costume-climbing night around Halloween- Louie, the cute gym cat that hangs around- Provides a physical space for the Bloomington climbing communityCons- No shower facilities- Very small gym / lifting area. Consists of a single squat rack (1 barbell), two benches, a rack of dumbbells (up to about 50lbs),and a set of kettlebells. The space is suitable for 2 or 3 people at a time (depending on what exercises they are doing), but no more.- High price, particulary for month-to-month memberships- Minimal perks / benefits related to introducing friends and family to climbing, or bringing a friend who likes to climb, but cannot afford a membership

Been climbing at HH for years. The most comfortable and welcoming atmosphere of any gym Ive been to. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable, they all show a passion and love for climbing. Its a great place for ever level of experience.Great place for a weekend fun, or you can get your kids involved in the climbing clubs competitions or trips.The only cons are probable the heating cooling, it can get pretty bad. And could use a little more cleaning here and there, but it adds to the vibe... if youre into that sort of thing.

Excellent indoor climbing gym with a variety of trails on auto belay and otherwise. Brandon taught a me and a group of 16 other people who to do everything and we all were able to successfully climb with excellent borrowed harnesses and climbing shoes. Thanks for the excellent customer experience!

I just renewed my membership and Im super hyped to start climbing regularly again. I went to 3 different places while I was living in Orlando this past semester...none of those came close to Hoosier Heights. I climb on my own for my daily workout so top-roping isnt an option and Id rather eat my knee caps than boulder..so im pumped that that you have multiple walls with auto belays. They change it up and add new routes pretty frequently..and the crazier the route name, the better. Im pretty sure my kid brother only visits me in B-town because he knows Ill take him climbing. I took advantage of the bring-a-buddy promotion they had a while back and my roommate and I had a blast. I purchased all my climbing gear at Hoosier Heights..so they have everything you need to go from absolute beginner to climbing enthusiast. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and always keep the gym safe and looking fresh. The atmosphere is chill. The pandora station is fire. I have nothing but great things to say.

Awesome facilities and staff! Incredibly helpful and friendly! My friends and I have spent hours upon hours here and have enjoyed every minute.

Yesterday was the second time ever taking my son Matthew and some of his friends (16 &15yr olds), once again they had an absolute blast! Not only do they learn planning and patience, this place also unknowingly teaches them trust, humility, and social interaction with every generation/type of person in a safe and supportive environment!!! Excellent staff, very laid-back, but with a sharp eye for safety!Everyone should try this at least once! I was living vicariously through Matthew the whole time from a distance due to all my old injuries from car accidents, fibromyalgia, and recent surgeries on my arm/hand. Man, I wish I was able to climb right beside him!

The atmosphere is great, with many helpful and friendly staff and climbers alike. The routes are changed fairly frequently and there is a great variety in the routes both in the bouldering room and top rope room. A great gym over all.

This is my favorite place in Bloomington. With the friendly workers and the great route setting, this gym provides a great community to get to know other climbers. It may not be the biggest climbing gym ever, but it is for sure cozy. In addition to being a great place for returning climbers, Hoosier Heights Bloomington provides a great first-time experience for people who want to try climbing out. 6/5 stars from me.

I love it here! Super nice staff.

Not a good gym to stop at on a road trip:So this is a little petty, but i stopped by this gym while on a road trip and they wanted me to pay full first timer price. Thats 140% of the day pass price, even though i had all my own gear, have hundreds of hours of climbing experience, and was only going to auto belay.It is a little frustrating to me because most gyms ive been to only charge that price to first time climbers as a deal to get them climbing without having to break the bank with renting all the equipment. Its for people who need basic rope training and gear.i.e. not me, or so has been my general experience in the South-East USA.I dont know if this is a fair assessment, but this gym really felt like they cared more about money than building relationships in the climbing community.I hope im wrong, but i will look for other places to climb when driving through Indy.It looked cool though, so thats an extra star.

Superb. This was my first climbing gym, and honestly I thought all climbing gyms were like this BOY was a wrong! Top rope room is huge and way more exciting than bouldering imo, auto-bulaze(?) and partner climbing available. PLUS ROUTES RESET ALL THE TIME. Gotta climb everything while its there!! but if you cant wait a month and theyll be things you might be able to climb and explore more. Members get free shoe rentals on Tuesday Thursday, I think the visitors get free shoe day on Tuesday?? not sure but hey lots of cool stuff! Membership here is costly but covers other gyms (even one in Kentucky) so go ask around!

Love climbing at this facility! Great value for the membership; cannot wait for the new facility to open soon!

This place is awesome! But heads up new hours not posted in Google. Monday is only open to members.

Way over priced 25 dollars for yeah smallest selection of bouldering/ top rope Ive ever seen. Staff was rude. Started to bleed while I was climbing, asked atafs for a band aid or gaus. Was told that they didnt have any first aid equipment, and that they werent allowed to give any first aid, and that I shouldnt climb anymore. Then staff member turned their back on me and started to discuss her weekend plans.

Staff is always more than willing to help you, or explain anything. Overall cool atmosphere.

Kind and helpful people in a positive environment. Youth Climbing Club is top notch.

First-rate facility, regularly refreshed routes across all skill levels, conscientious staff - it’s the perfect place to challenge yourself AND find a supportive community to cheer you on.

This place is fantastic and the membership is worth it, even though its a little pricy.

The self belay walls change quite a bit so you can always have a new wall to climb. The staff is really helpful if you are a mew climber as well.

Great experience! Kind and helpful staff

I bouldered there when I was in town for a few days. Its small but they have some really great routes and the staff was great.

Favorite place to clime. Good ale 8 selection.

Great activity for when its too cold or rainy. Daily passes are a bit pricy, otherwise 5 stars!

Took kids there for a party and was a great time for all.

Super friendly! It was my first time climbing!

Its one of those goofy restaurants that lets you climb on the walls! The food selection is limited but Im starting to think its more about the wall climbing gimmick anyway.

Awesome staff, awesome gym.

Helpful staff and lots of fun for all ages.

Fantastic gym, great employees and inviting atmosphere!

Very friendly, very fun,and a great workout!

New facility is amazing

Hoosier heights has a monopoly on climbing gyms in the area, so theyre pretty pricey for a very average quality gym.

It’s 2018, show us your campus board!!!
