★★★★★Featured review by Serena Fraraccio

I've been a member for four years. I love the community and all the things this gym offers. The climbing is really fun, lots of classic routes, and some confidence boosters. Then there are amazing yoga and training classes too!

🏆 Family Action Verdict

A strong choice for families with school-age kids — staff are explicitly praised for engaging with children, and summer camps provide structured programming. The one-week intro package is the most accessible entry point for families new to climbing. Morning visits avoid the post-work rush.

“Definitely a bit crowded after work but the facility is really nice and so is the community. Went bouldering alone and did yoga after! Shout out to Kylie lol :)”

“I love this gym! The staff and setters are amazing, as well as the yoga instructors. Josie is so great with my kids and makes me feel welcome everytime I'm there! Jaz's hot yoga at noon has such a great vibe to it. Would def recommend the gym, I only wish that they didn't pick and choose which social justice efforts they support but that is a criticism at the corporate level and is not a reflection of the staff at the gym.”
