    Fantastic new climbing gym. They have a ton of bouldering options and levels with the best landing pads around. Wide array of problem types and holds to keep you challenged. They also have a competition wall build for World Bouldering comps. They have a ton of top ropes, traditional anchor system and auto belays, a lead wall and soon a speed climbing wall. The area is open concept and had plenty of room for lots of climbers. They even have a mezzanine above the gym equipment for hanging out, playing games, it watching other climbers. The staff is friendly and all seem happy to be there.

    Awesome new management running this place we called „a second home“ even better! Great gym for bouldering as well as ropes, lots of top rope options for kids, very clean, friendly, attentive: came back to beta after living in the area to visit and realized again why I missed it so much!

    This place has sparked my interest in climbing. That is due to the friendly staff, amazing facility but the biggest reason is the overall positive vibe. You just feel better walking in. In terms of climbing - they have everything you could want. A long bouldering wall, top rope, auto belays and lead climbing. They also have courses to help you improve and become certified. One of my favorite places. Check it out. First time is free of charge. Edit: first time if free as a guest of member

    Love Beta!! They have something for everyone, at every level. The staff are tremendous and incredibly knowledgable. The your climbing classes are great. My girls love going as the class size is always small with instructors giving 1-1 instruction. Plus, as a parent, I can climb or workout for free. The facility is huge and they are always setting new routes. Lastly, the climbing community is really friendly and approachable. :)

    I'm deeply disheartened by our recent interactions with BETA Climbing + Fitness. Early in June 2023, my wife called to request to cancel our membership. She might have been informed about an online termination form, but she genuinely doesn't remember this being mentioned. Despite this, we noticed continued charges for a service we had intended to stop. When we approached them about reimbursement for the July charge, we were met with a firm refusal, citing their cancellation policy. This, despite the fact that our family used the facility only 3 times in the last two months of our membership. The ensuing email exchanges only intensified our feeling of being undervalued as customers. I fully recognize the significance of adhering to processes and policies. However, many other service providers we've engaged with have demonstrated a greater degree of flexibility and understanding. A touch of empathy from BETA Climbing's side would have gone a long way. In today's age, where exceptional customer service is often the differentiator, it's disappointing to encounter such inflexibility.

    Went bouldering for my first time last week with some good friends and it was a great experience. Varied terrain for beginners and experts alike, very nice staff and great facilities. It's sad that they are shutting down but I'm excited that I was able to experience it.

    Best climbing gym out there! Has pretty much a climber needs: all kind of routes, a great community, amazing staff, good prices and they are in a constant change and innovation! I really recommend to get a membership and start the fun!

  • 4/5 Alex K. 1 year ago on Google
    Beta is totally fine. It’s a big warehouse filled with routes and boulders. Only four stars because there isn’t nearly as much of a community feeling as the other gym nearby, rock climb Fairfield. If you just want to climb and not talk to anyone and aren’t looking to meet people, this is a great gym.

  • 5/5 Jake T. 1 year ago on Google
    I came in today and the staff were super helpful and nice. As a beginner I got some pointers and was able to try all kinds of problems. The community there was also really nice and supportive. The place is also very big and has all kinds of equipment to get better at climbing and strength training.

    Clean facility. A lot bigger than I thought it was! Reasonably priced. My friends and I had a lot of fun. A couple of them ended up getting monthly memberships afterwards.

  • 5/5 Ethan P. 11 months ago on Google
    I’ve had a membership at this gym since January and I’m very happy with their top-rope and bouldering routes. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I’m usually climbing solo so I wish there were more advanced auto-belay routes but they still have a good selection. I’m thrilled to live so close to a great climbing gym like this! They are usually running promos and discounts for newer climbers so give it a try!

  • 5/5 Sara D. 1 year ago on Google
    We held a birthday party for a 9 year old here and it was fantastic. The staff was terrific and great with the boys, and the event was really easy to book and manage. I would absolutely recommend, and I think a few families might come back on their own!

  • 5/5 Danika H. 1 year ago on Google
    Beta is the best gym! Everyone is so friendly and it’s perfect for families! Bobby (the owner) is turning this into the best place to spend a day with your kids! Mine are 8, 5 and 3 and loving the kid walls!

  • 5/5 Ryan E. 4 years ago on Google
    Awesome climbing gym in Stamford. They have a large amount of both bouldering and top roping. They also have some gym equipment, yoga, and a place to chill and work on your computer. I have only been bouldering here but it is a great place to go. A decent variety of routes and a consistent rating scale for their routes following the standard V scale. They reset the routes regularly. The newly set section tends to be a little crowded but the rest is generally pretty empty and really easy to just hop on the wall and climb. I go here every week so it's got to be pretty good right? Well I think it is.

  • 5/5 Isabel K. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a great gym. Boulders are well set, there are sufficiently high ropes, the facility is clean and comfortable, and the people are friendly.

  • 5/5 Holly P. 1 year ago on Google
    If you want a gym that has it all, Beta is it! I love that I can climb, strength train, do cardio, and do yoga all in one place. Not to mention the place is *huge* and they are great about resetting the routes so they don’t get stale. The people are great too :)

  • 5/5 Gabriela A. 1 year ago on Google
    Was impressed with the amenities at this gym! Have yet to find another climbing gym that also has a co-working space AND essential weight/cardio equipment for use. If I lived closer, I would totally come here more often.

  • 5/5 Gaby S. 1 year ago on Google
    First time visit, great facility, huge bouldering area with fun setting. Didn’t use the lead/top rope wall this time but looked great! Also seems like there’s a comp wall of sorts in the back near the auto belays that had some super cool problems. Would use this as a home gym if I were local :)

😠 I’ve been going to this gym for about a year now. I have to say, this has to be the worst gym in Stamford and probably ever. Not only is it extremely small compared to other gyms, but half the machines are broken. They need multiples of certain machines as well but they refuse to. So many people are...

😠 I go to this gym as it is convenient for me to my job. Its unfortunate that there are 3 showers and only one shower actually has a showerhead on it and people have to wait IN LINE to shower after their workout. It has been like this for MONTHS. Now NONE of the showers have shower heads! They really...

👍👍 Orange Theory is the best. This is the first workout for me that I genuinely ENJOY. I’ve been a member for 2 years and it’s never boring. I’ve been to several studios and while they’re all great, Stamford High Ridge is the BEST. I love all the coaches, the staff, and the community. I would give 10 s...
