Tampa, Florida, United States
Central Rock Gym Tampa opened in spring 2023 on West Gandy Boulevard in South Tampa, the first Florida gym for the New England chain, which now runs three more in the state. The 20,000 sq ft building is mostly given over to bouldering, with about 400 linear feet of walls and more than 120 problems on white walls striped in blue, plus a set of auto-belay walls for climbing on a rope without a partner. Younger children have a climbing area of their own, which visitors describe as a dedicated toddler zone.
A Kilter Board and a MoonBoard sit beside a fitness room with cardio machines and free weights. Yoga and strength classes, such as Vinyasa Flow on Tuesday evenings and Strength + Flow on Fridays, are free for members and open to day-pass holders. Lockers, showers, Wi-Fi and a coworking area complete the facilities.
Membership covers every Central Rock Gym, with rental gear and a monthly guest pass included. Climbers under 13 need adult supervision.

“Overall the climbing experience itself was pretty good… I had to stay at check in for 20 min (literally) I filled out and signed almost 10 documents.”
“Great space for climbers of all skill. Clean, safe, and fun. Great prices on day pass, punch cards, and memberships.”
