Brilliant place to bring my 20 month and 5 yr old! Walls for all ages and abilities, and really good value! Even the food and drinks are very reasonable prices and the coffee tastes incredible!! Finally, staff are great and very helpful, especially considering I didn’t book and didn’t know what I was doing when I walked in on a whim

This place is epic, soo big, loved bouldering here! They also have a huge overhang wall that was a real workout for the forearms! Almost forgot to mention the great cafe, coffee, pizzas and some mad doughnuts, they are ridiculously good! Really good for kids 2. Definitely worth checking out :)

Recently went to Flashpoint for a taster session during half term. Staff were fabulous with my 8 year old and even though he was the only kid booked in, the worker still made it really fun and engaging for him. The centre itself is spotless, well set up and easy to use. We will be signing our son up for regular lessons there from next month, I was really impressed with the whole experience. Definitely recommend.

First time at Flashpoint Swansea and it blew my expectations away! Booking and getting ready was a breeze - online waiver and safety video beforehand made things super quick. The staff were awesome too, super friendly and even gave me a quick tour to help me get my bearings. Seriously impressed with the size and facilities! Been bouldering for 6 months now, and I loved starting on the wide selection of easier routes and working my way up. So much space to rest between climbs on the comfy sofas and chairs too. The absolute highlight though? The Beast! Unlike anything I've ever tackled before, it was incredible. Big thumbs up for the Griptonite system/app integration as well. Tracked my whole session perfectly and will help me plan my attack for next time. Didn't grab any food or drinks this time, but those pizzas looked unreal! Definitely on the menu for my next visit.

We visited this gym whilst on holiday in the area and were really impressed. The staff were friendly and helpful and thorough in their induction. The grading is clear and each climb is labelled so you can't get confused. The centre is super clean with great changing facilities and loads of (really clean) toilets. There is a good café with a selection of sandwiches, pizzas and cakes, the coffee was great! Drinking fountains are plentiful and cups are provided which is a really helpful touch. The route setting is really good with something for everyone and a great variety of style including a top out boulder. The highlight of our visit was definitely "The Beast". We've never come across anything like it in another bouldering gym and we had so much fun with it! Great gym - highly recommended!
