Been climbing here for over ten years and it’s still my favorite gym. Awesome setting, epic lead wall, great facilities, nice staff. Gets super busy in evening but they open up early so it’s possible to avoid crowds. Lisa’s strength classes are killer, I just wish that they had more fitness classes and yoga available. 5/7 perfect gym.

I was really hoping to love this place, but the air quality is a major issue. I had heard from another reviewer that the air was polluted, but I didn’t give it much thought. I went there consistently for a month, but one day when the sun was shining through, I could really see how bad the air is. I can’t even imagine how bad it would be for your lungs if you were to go there regularly.

First the good; awesome large facility with a great variety of climbs. Definitely the best gym I’ve been to in this regard. The staff is friendly and the gym and water access is a plus. The bad, is as other reviews have stated, more often than not the gym has been too much like a daycare center/playground than serious environment. It’s tough trying to concentrate on a new difficult problem and hearing kids screaming, fooling around unsupervised and running. For 125 a month, I think the little kid element should be reeled in a lot. Aside from being a major distraction it is potentially dangerous. Perhaps having set hours for young children or set areas of the gym. And more direct supervision. If not for that element, easy 5 stars.

Impressive center for indoor rock climbing. Well designed, maintained and managed. State of the art amenities, professional ad friendly service, pleasant atmosphere. Many different options and levels of challenge, from little kids and beginners to very advanced climbers. Parents can use treadmills and elipticals while waiting, that's great!

I had a very disappointing experience at this rock climbing gym. The staff was rude and discriminatory, which made me feel extremely uncomfortable. The entire place smelled like sweaty feet, which was really unpleasant. I expected a much more welcoming and clean environment. Definitely not coming back.
