Founded in 1994, the first Philadelphia Rock Gym was built by two college friends (Greg & Matt) who had a vision – to bring their passion and enthusiasm for climbing back to their hometown and to make a living doing what they loved. By taking the novel step of bringing climbing inside, they became one of the first indoor climbing centers in the US. Soon, they were one of the best.

Since then, PRG has introduced more than 100,000 of your friends and neighbors to the amazing sport of rock climbing. And In all that time our passion and enthusiasm for this sport has continued to grow. And, as their passion has grown, so has their dedication to excellence, to safety, and, most of all, to our customers.

PRG has grown, too: they have opened multiple locations, we offer outdoor training and expeditions all over the US, and we use the philosophy of climbing to promote team development and leadership skills through ground-based initiatives and seminars in their Teambuilding program.

It is Philadelphia Rock Gym's vision to continue what Matt & Greg started. To share their passion with you, your friends and your family. To help their customers discover, not just the joy of climbing, but also what its spirit has to offer–confidence, camaraderie, teamwork, and balance.

"Our daughter loved camp. The teachers are fun and the programming was excellent. She particularly loved bouldering and felt her climbing improved a lot over the week of camp. They also dealt with safety incredibly well during a tough time."
