reviewsWhat Members Say
Members consistently praise the climbing facilities as top notch with great route variety and interesting techniques like underclings and high steps. They appreciate the fully equipped workout area, helpful staff like Sean who makes equipment rental easy, and amenities including saunas and showers. Some note the gym can get crowded during peak hours with time limits on cardio equipment, and a few mention the interior temperature feels cold which can affect climbing. One reviewer expressed concern about locker room policies while others specifically highlight the quality of both climbing and traditional gym areas.

Top notch climbing gym in SF. Great for lead and belay Bouldering section is a bit cramped when crowded. The weights section is pretty good. Good lockers and sauna

The gym is awesome! They have all necessary equipment for climbing and for working out. There are a steaming room, shower with shampoo etc., they also provide with towels. Gets really full during rush hour, so the time using cardio section is limited (30min) during this hours.

Awesome walls with great routes set. Uses a lot of underclings and high steps. Also has a great gym area for an overall workout experience. Sean (Shaun?) was super helpful and was able to make my experience renting a harness and equipment quick and painless. Highly recommend going here for a good workout or warm up before going outside.

(Visiting from another state) Really nice gym! The walls' varieties are great. Lot of choices in different level. I was so shocked to see a room for cycling and a sauna in the locker room. The work out area is fully equipped. I kind of wish this was my gym. I can't wait to come back again when I'm in town next time. It was very cold inside though, it was prolly warmer outside in the 60s. I am not used to it and with bad circulation, it was hard to climb with numbed fingers.

I enjoy coming to this gym because they have a sauna in the men's gym eventhough it's tiny. . With that said, I do take exception to their stupid illogical policy of allowing women into the men's locker room. Imagine if I went into the woman's locker room as a man, completely naked, what they would think.
