The Boulder Yard

Fantastic experience: It was good, friendly staff

Fantastic experience: If you're on the fence about the boulder yard check them out. I can't say enough good but I'll try. 1) The staff and clientele share a sense of community, in a short time many of us were on a first name basis. 2) Fun and effective fitness, I've personally lost 20lbs. 3) More than just climbing, they have a modest weight room that would be plenty for most folks. They also have a nice yoga and martial arts studio, I haven't participated in either. 4) Friendly and helpful staff, the team is led by owner Steve and his facility manager Joe who are both motivated and dedicated role models. Over the months any employee I've interacted with was happy to answer questions or give guidance with technique and equipment. In parting don't get overwhelmed by visit number one, it was daunting for sure. Keep coming back like I did and you'll start seeing changes you never expected.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym with chill staff and creative problems.

Fantastic experience: Great staff. Great facility. Decent prices, especially if you stay for hours and hours. Best place around here for bouldering. Note: They do not offer rope climbing.

Fantastic experience: Awesome best setting around! Lot of new holds

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome!!! Very friendly staff

Fantastic experience: A great place with a super friendly environment. They also care about covid regulations and wearing masks. 10/10 place to climb

Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff who took their time to make sure we felt welcome! This was our first time and the staff and community were terrific!

Fantastic experience: The Boulder Yard was great. I took my six-year-old daughter there, and Joe was great getting set up to climb. We will go back then it's not so busy. This is a place kids can go, and parents need to watch their kids. This is a gym, not a bounce or jump house. Thanks, Boulder Yard.

Fantastic experience: So much fun. Something for everyone!

Fantastic experience: This is a great place to climb. Very nice climbing walls, a little deceiving from the outside because you can't tell the height of the back walls by looking at the front entrance.I really like this place and plan to return often.The owner is super friendly as well as his staff.This place offers quite a lot for being a little smaller than the other chain gyms. Recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Great, helpful and friendly staff and a really fun time

Fantastic experience: Freaking love this place. Atmosphere is very laid back. Very challenging routes. Awesome work out. People are very welcoming. No rude people. The only way they can improve this place is by having a bbq pit going. Hahahaha. Will definitely recommend the place to others and we will be coming back for sure, after I work out and get better so I can really enjoy the place to the fullest.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place to hang out and climb! The staff does a great job at helping beginners feel comfortable.

Fantastic experience: New to climbing and I am finding this gym to be a great place to start! Everyone is very friendly and willing to help if you're struggling.

Fantastic experience: This place is the best! I am relatively new to climbing and started at a later age than most (let's just say 50+). Climbing is a great workout and a lot of fun and I encourage you to try it. The people that climb here, in addition to the owner and staff, are very welcoming and friendly. It is a safe and clean environment where I feel comfortable, even since covid-19 rocked our world. What sets the boulder yard apart from the several other climbing gyms I have visited is the number and variety of routes and the community atmosphere. I highly recommend the boulder yard.

Fantastic experience: This is an independently owned gym not a franchise with a very helpful and knowledgeable staff, and great yoga instructors. My entire family has climbed here for almost a year and cannot get enough of it. A climbers gym with lots of equipment geared to help you become stronger. There are many excellent climbers here, but climbers of all levels are welcome and included in a fantastic community environment. The route setters create a wide variety of original routes that are changed often and are longer than what you see in other gyms.

Fantastic experience: Tiny dirtbag-style gym with a great selection of boulders. Nice big and cushy crashpads. Staff are super nice. Chill vibe. Longer routes than many commerical gyms (willing to set longer traversing routes because of lower traffic). They also have a moon board, treadmills, and training equipment. Support local and check it out!

Fantastic experience: The staff couldn’t be more friendly, Steve and gang are extremely helpful and will even give you tips if they see ways you can improve. It’s a smaller gym, but the sense of community really makes it. There’s a nice, relaxed environment to climb for beginners and vets alike. New problems are created frequently enough to keep it feeling fresh but not too frequently that you can’t come back to conquer one that’s giving you trouble. Anyone interested in climbing really needs to check this place out!

Fantastic experience: We have been climbing at the Boulder Yard for a year! If you want a laid back gym with great routes that has a variety for everyone, you need to check this place out! Our son loved it so much after coming one time, he joined the competition youth climbing team. Amazing owners and awesome coaches!

Fantastic experience: Friendly. Fun. Clean. Safe. An excellent time!

Fantastic experience: I have had several great experiences at The Boulder Yard and always look forward to going back. My 9 year old son has joined their youth team and has been having a blast.

Fantastic experience: Nice place. Friendly staff. I used a Groupon and had an issue but the owner called me in a few minutes and resolved it and took constructive criticism very professionally. Kids had a great time. They were worn out in a few hours.

Fantastic experience: Old school, positive climbing gym vibes, but with modern walls and thoughtful setting. Good for beginners and hardos alike. Friendly, encouraging staff and constantly updated route setting, love this joint!

Fantastic experience: Great climbing gym. Awesome routes, and really friendly owners.

Fantastic experience: Good climbing Gym. Seems like they're very active in the community. Boulder problems are graded appropriately. Nice tight knit community feel

Fantastic experience: Friendly and helpful staff, pretty good prices. Appreciated the chill environment and climbing etiquette practiced by everyone.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Brought my 6 year old a few times and always been great.

Fantastic experience: A local Frederick hot spot for fitness and fun, the Boulder Yard boasts some of the area's most advanced indoor climbing walls and workout equipment to keep you and your family feeling their fittest.

Fantastic experience: Good vibes. Great climbing. If you want to feel like at home in a bouldering gym this is your place.

Fantastic experience: This place is the best. Staff is very helpful and relaxed. Steve (the owner) can be regularly seen on the floor helping people climb better. On top of that the local community is super friendly and encouraging. There are so many different problems to try and new ones are regularly added.

Fantastic experience: They change up the 'rocks' every month so its not always the same everytime. The staff os great and super helpful!

Fantastic experience: Great place to climb and socialize!

Fantastic experience: This gym is awesome! Really great staff. They know everything there is to know about climbing and will help you get stronger or just provide an encouraging environment to climb in. best gym around if you wanna climb in a relaxed setting with a variety of terrain (probably the steepest longest bouldering wall around which includes the earth treks’s in the area). Go here if you wanna get strong, have fun, or both without the BS of a huge commercialized gym.

Fantastic experience: I keep meaning to write a review. I have been coming here since September... I think, and I love this place more every week. The guys that work here are amazing in every way. They are so nice, encouraging, and talented. They make me feel valued and capable. Steve (owner) is just the most amazing person you will ever meet and works so hard to make the boulder yard amazing with climbs challenging for climbers of all levels. Mike (boxing) kicks my butt making me hit the gym. Other Steve (yoga) is a perfect mix of flow of holding positions / zen and strength. And everyone (particularly Noah) are AMAZING with my 7 year old son. I can't wait for my son to start working with Jeramy to learn more moves in a few weeks. I am beyond grateful for this place and that these people are in my life. Check this place out!

Fantastic experience: I love this place. If i lived in the area i really wouldn't mind getting a membership. Luckily i showed up with a friend on a friday, they were able to provide her shoes for free. They have a bouldering wall (obviously) and some gym equipment. It all seems pretty much brand new. The ground cushion is really soft, no worries about jumping from the end of a route. It seems like they also have a lot of ancillary activities as well, the guy behind the counter told us about how they held an escape room in the gym with over 50 people in attendance.

Fantastic experience: Great independent bouldering gym, with friendly staff and great vibe. Has an upstairs portion with yoga and meditation, as well as a workout space on the main floor, all of which are open use.

Fantastic experience: Great route setting, nice local feel but I still feel that I get the quality of routes and holds that I see at Earth Treks. Good prices, friendly people.

Fantastic experience: Steve and the rest of the staff really care about making a great environment for climbers and non climbers. Also the problems are great.

Fantastic experience: Small gym, however small climbing gyms are always the best, more of a sense of community between climbers in these environments. Routes are also set often and graded well
