ASCEND Pittsburgh is a great gym and clean. Perfect for our workouts. Awesome equipment and wonderful trainers.
Amazing place with a super friendly and helpful staff! I've never felt so accepted from the moment of walking in my first time, it didn't take long for me to get a membership and become hooked! Seriously can't say enough how great this place is and how nice EVERYONE there is! Like not just the employees but the people are great too!
Very cool place. Helpful and friendly staff. Something for all ages
First time here and I loved it! The staff is very helpful, and the environment is so relaxed. There's no pressure to be at any level or to be amazing at it. (I might have had more fun falling than I did climbing.) I highly recommend this place to anyone looking g for a unique workout!!!
I love this gym. It is clean, open, and fun. There are many different levels of climbing you can do. I love to bring my laptop and work in the kitchenette area and take breaks to climb. It's a great atmosphere.
I love coming here. A membership is totally worth it, and the staff is some of the most friendly around. Truly fantastic
Since I started coming regularly to Ascend last November it has become one of my favorite places in Pittsburgh. I wasn't sure that I could handle rock climbing of any kind - I am not skinny or young. My first day there was hard! My arms hurt for at least a couple of days after. But I kept going back. Here's why:
* Welcoming staff. Like I said, I'm not skinny or young but I've always felt like I was welcome; the staff is pleasant and greets just about everyone who enters cheerfully.
* Genuinely helpful staff. I have never had a problem that they didn't handle immediately and pleasantly. Related to this, the fitness class that are offered are very much fired to the abilities of each individual.
* Friendly community. There's no obvious "bro" community ("brommunity"?) at Ascend. I've never gotten an unpleasant attitude or comment. Instead, people are respectful and helpful.
* Fun events. I'm never going to win a climbing comparison but I attend the competitions and parties when I can because they're a good time.
Anyway. It's a good time. You should check it out.
One of the best yoga studios in pittsburgh. Kind teachers in a welcoming environment. Practitioners and teachers are not pretentious and challenge you while being compassionate. Have never climbed, but appreciate the wide variety of classes offered by different teachers.

Great gym with a great view of the city. Routes are changed reasonably often, and there are always plenty of climbs at every level! For access to unlimited climbing, as well as yoga and fitness classes, the membership is a really good price!
Ascend is my second home! Love this climbing community. The yoga and fitness classes are awesome. Highly recommend for a fun date or as your every day gym.
This gym has quality routes set by knowledgeable setters. It's got an arch wall, a slab wall, a cave and a whole top out wall. It's one of the friendliest places in town. An excellent climbing gym and a great place for yoga and a good workout.

Great routes and super helpful friendly staff
Our first experience was for my son's 6th birthday. The crew/ladies we had working with us were great. They were friendly and patient with each child AND parent. The even enjoyed a cup cake with us after the climbing was done. I'd love to start coming here for myself! We had a Great time.
I couldn't say enough good things about this place and community. The staff is amazing. The climbing routes are amazing. The membership is amazing. The owners are amazing. If you've never climbed for fitness or recreation, ASCEND Pittsburgh is the perfect place to start.
Huge climbing center with autobelay for those who might not have a partner who's trained to belay. Lots of room to do your own routes and also a weights and aerobic area to work out. This is mainly a climbing center focused on bouldering so bear that in mind. There is a lovely kitchen area with fridge, sink, crockery, microwave and toaster oven. The locker rooms also have showers and there are yoga rooms etc upstairs.
Ascend was the premier place to climb in Pittsburgh. Then, the team was smart and marketed very well. Now it's overrun by children.
If you're over 18 and looking to do in-door bouldering, you'll likely not want to go to Ascend. Reason being: Kids. Ascend is kid friendly and hosts children parties, children competitions, and children classes. Fantastic for parents and children. But, it does make it impossible to climb from 10 AM to close. I've went to Ascend and left in less than 20 minutes multiple time because of the abundance of kids.
Ascend caters to children. It's working for them because I always see the place packed full of kids, but it's killing my interest to climb there.
Ascend needs to have an 18+ night or 18+ only section of the gym. I won't blame the staff for unsupervised kids butting and ruining my climb, although I've aggravated a few parents by mentioning this to them.
Great for Kids. Bad for Climbers.
This place is great! There are tons of bouldering routes of various difficulties from v0-v10 on 3 structures including some overhangs and a top-out boulder which is my favorite they also have a small rope section with auto-belays as well. They have a moon board, hang boards, weights and few cardio machines as well as offering yoga classes several times a day too.
The staff is really friendly and enthusiastic about climbing, they can often be found climbing there on their days off too. They offer shoe, chalk, and harness rentals for anyone who doesn't have their own gear and give a thorough explanation of rules and tour to 1st time visitors. I have taken several friends of varying athletic ability for their first experience climbing here and they have all loved it and returned with me.
The climbing community in general is possibly one of the most friendly and inclusive sports I have ever been involved in, and the folks who frequent Ascend are no exception. I often go by myself and end up making friends and chatting with almost anyone there regardless of skill level/ability and get caught up talking about climbs, offering/receiving beta, or just shooting the breeze.
Easily one of the best places in Pittsburgh. The climbing is unreal, the work out facilities are great, and the staff is incredible! Not to mention there is yoga and so many other fun activities and events here. This place is awesome and affordable and if you haven't visited yet, you're missing out.
A first-class, brand new climbing gym that provides great service at low prices. I have been a climber for 15 years and climbed at gyms throughout the country. This spacious bouldering gym has all the terrain, equipment, and services I look for in a gym. Best of all it is run by local climbers who care about the product and your experience. They take great care of the space, the holds, the atmosphere, and the community. Route setters are skilled and productive, making it very difficult to climb everything in the gym before it gets cleaned and replaced. The new holds have excellent texture and the pads are very soft. Highly recommended to new and experienced climbers of all ages. The community support for this facility is also impressive. It is easy to meet new friends here and plan outdoor trips with locals.
The routes are awesome. The facility is awesome. The staffs are awesome. The owners are awesome. It's hands down the best gym I have ever been to, and I wish that I still live in Pittsburgh. Keep it up guys.
Love this place. Exciting routes and climbs that are refreshed every few weeks. The space is open and lively and a great place to hang out with friends while completing a climb. A lot of sitting spaces to lounge while observing other great climbers. The staff are friendly and fantastic and have coped with my forgetfulness in leaving personal belongings there every week. Would absolutely recommend!
Fun people, great vibe, awesome place! The yoga studio here is top notch, one of the best studios in Pittsburgh. They have a good schedule, experienced and knowledgeable teachers, and different types of classes, there's something for everyone.
