Climb Nashville East

Climb east is a very small climbing gym but the space is very well utilized. on the left of the entrance, there is a pretty decent training room with a MOON board and various hang boards. on the right of the entrance there is a small cave-like bouldering room with plenty of routes. No belay here though. One cool feature was the weightlifting and exercise room above the bouldering section. it's hard to explain but it's visible in photos. It's like a mezzanine. Overall a very chill and low-key climbing gym that I enjoyed visiting. much less busy that climb west,but if you get a day pass you can visit both locations. 👍

I've been a member for 10 years. During that time, I've seen them open 3 new gyms, and prices have gone up pretty sharply every year, so they must be doing okay financially. They do not pay their staff a living wage in Nashville, and it was even worse before a walkout was threatened. If you can't afford to pay your employees, you can't afford to open new gyms. They don't have enough setters, so the boulders at West are up forever, and now they're not marking the start holds at East because it takes too long to scrape off the previous labels.... Please at least use some tape. Also they're (once again) giving routes ranges instead of ratings, which is frustrating. I think this is the third time I've seen this happen. Each time they go back to just giving ratings like other gyms.

Been a member for years and it would so cool if they weren’t spraying water upstairs while you are working out when they close in over an hour :) It would be really cool so my socks don’t get wet when I’m putting back equipment! If they want to close at 5pm instead of 6pm just do that but it is so lame to be forced out of the gym an hour before close when members pay so much to be there.

This gym is awesome. When I went it instantly cured my cancer and nursed me back to health. We’d have such good times, we would laugh and cry together. Climb Nashville east was the best man (or gym) at my wedding and is the godfather of my 7 children.

As much as I love small gyms, I wasn’t impressed. For the $20+ day pass, I was expecting more. The setting definitely does not keep up with the amount of traffic that the problems get. If I wasn’t climbing on the new set, the holds looked like they had been up for months(even though they probably haven’t). The holds were absolutely trashed with boot rubber and extremely dirty. There are no windows at all in the main area and the HVAC unit was non existent. The gym was literally packed at peak hours and it smelled terrible. The aroma of feet, funk, and body odor was thick in the air. I felt like I was at a sold out concert, packed in like sardines. There was literally no where to sit down and people are climbing over you, under you, and walking under you while you climb. This gym is way too small for the amount of people that use the facility. The setting was not horrible. The setting wasn’t incredible either. There was some good stuff and a lot of ok stuff. If I roll through town again, I’ll probably seek out a different gym or just go during non peak hours. A redeeming quality was that the staff was extremely friendly and everyone was very nice. I don’t like to hate on gyms but this place could use a little something. If you compare this gym to gyms like Dog Patch or The Front, this gym is pretty bad. As far as modern gyms go, it hits the modern level at an absolute minimum. At least they have a Moon board, which had way too many people during peak hours.
