Rock Climbing as exercise??

Recently my boyfriend suggested we look into getting memberships at a rock climbing place nearby both for the fun and the workout aspect of it. I did dance growing up and I love yoga but this would be a way we could work out together, and whenever I see rock climbers out hiking their bodies are GOALS. I'm just wondering if anyone does rock climbing as a hobby and how to do it affordably? I think it's something we'll really enjoy doing together if I can get over my fear of heights! Any advice would be appreciated! ✌🏻
