The Gravity Vault

Lots of fun for all ages from young kids to adults. They have all types of rock climbing levels and even auto-​belay machines and bouldering walls. They have class you can take and equipment you can rent or come with your own knowledge and equipment. Relatively good proves and it’s just as good of a workout as any gym!

I have seriously never written a review, but after bringing my two daughters here for a so called «fun» afternoon I feel an obligation to other parents too. The staff of mainly men are EXTREMELY rude and impatient with children. We first had to get the rock climbing shoes that they provide. The guy was so impatient while I was trying to help my little one figure out what size she was. He was acting like I was going to steal the shoes. Like we really need rock climbing shoes in our daily life. The help was actually yelling at other kids while we were there. If you have a business that allow children, you need to have kindness and patience and this place couldn’t have been more lacking. The place also stinks like a dirty locker room. It’s disgusting. The best part is I had to pay almost $ 50 for this!!! What a waste. I can’t imagine this place will be in business for too much longer but if it is I will definitely find another activity to do with your children such as Sky Zone. The people working there need to go climb some rocks in the wilderness where no people are. I would give it zero star if I could.

Serious fun. Our kids ages range from 6 to 11 and love the Vault! Held our 6 year old’s birthday party with our fingers crossed — hoping each kindergardener would brave the climb — total success with tons of smiles and happy parents too! The staff are terrific and help keep the fear on the ground.

Great place. The staff is very friendly and extremely helpful. I went with my wife and 5 year old son. The staff member working with us was very patient and helpful. We have never been rock climbing before but we are already planning our next trip.

This place is 10 minutes from my house; went here for a buddy’s birthday and had a blast. Definitely no shortage of climbing routes as the place is HUGE. Staff is very friendly and knowledgable, and prices are about average for a facility such as this one. Hoping to go back often.

I started climbing outdoors last summer and started looking for a gym to climb in during the cold months. The first time I stepped into the gravity vault, I knew it was the place. There rock wall setup is awesome! Great overhangs, corner routes, aretes, and well laid out routes of all levels. They have ropes and grigri’a set up on all routes. The Boulder walls are awesome! When it came time to lead climb, my girlfriend and I took the class. It was very well laid out and prepped us to start leading. Their lead routes are awesome and, best of all, they give you the rope and grigri to use, so you don’t trash your own gear learning. The staff is always awesome, friendly and knowledgable on climbing. The gravity vault is now my indoor climbing headquarters!

I first came here while I was in town visiting family, they had a special that weekend so it was a real steal! I normally climb in Philly but after seeing how huge this gym is and how great the routes are I’m so sad that the gravity vault isn’t closer to me but I come back whenever I’m in the area!
Super welcoming staff. Definitely make you feel at home. While signing my waiver I noticed the people behind the desk seemed to know all the members checking in by name, which was really cool. 5 stars!

This place is the best! Its by far the best rock gym I’ve ever seen and is moderately priced as well.
Their buy one get one free day pass every monday is a steal!

If you’ve been to any of their other locations, then you know to expect the best when you walk into a Gravity Vault, and Middletown is no different. The lead walls offer a great variety of climbs (four auto-​belays, two chimneys, many overhangs, corners, and aretes) and the bouldering is reset often and consistently challenging. The staff are a great team and ready to help if anyone needs it, because they all know their stuff. It’s definitely the best gym in the area, so if you’re looking for somewhere good to climb in central NJ, you’ve found the right place.

This is a nice gym.
