Their grades are a little different than the Touchstones I've been to in SF and Berkeley/Oakland, 2-3 levels are grouped into colors which makes a difference for me because I just started climbing not long ago and V0 and V1 makes a difference for me at least but I tried all the red ones! The routes are pretty fun and I think generally the wall is a little taller even for the easier climbs.

PROS: -Pretty layout, clean and spacious facility…read more-New and well-maintained -Not crowded even on weekend afternoons -Good amount of bouldering routes -No strong chalk odor in the air -Clean and comfortable locker rooms -Parking CONS: -No free trial option (not even a short 3-day pass), which feels not very welcoming and unfriendly to beginners -Grading system -Fitness area needs more equipment and variety -Yoga/fitness classes still limited or in development -Weekend hours are short Overall: Great atmosphere and strong bouldering setup. With better fitness offerings and a trial option, this gym could be excellent.

Alan, Gary, and Stephen led our two-day class, and they struck the right balance: clear, patient instruction paired with genuine enthusiasm for making sure we actually had fun. The conditions weren't ideal, choppier waves than we'd hoped for, but the instructors adjusted on the fly. When they saw a chance for better waves later in the day, they rearranged our schedule to make it happen. That kind of flexibility says a lot about how much they care about the experience, not just checking a box on lesson hours. Safety was clearly a priority throughout, and I left with a solid grasp of the fundamentals. Just as memorable was the group itself, a genuinely fun set of people, which made the whole weekend feel more like a shared adventure than a lesson. Highly recommend, whether you're a complete beginner or just looking for a well-run, good-natured intro to surfing.

Working with Caitlin completely transformed my pregnancy and postpartum experience. From day one, Caitlin brought such deep wisdom, calm, and kindness into every interaction. She guided me through breathing techniques, helpful movements for labor, and thoughtful ways to keep my husband involved and confident throughout the birthing process. Her support didn't stop there--her postpartum guidance was invaluable for my healing and for adjusting to life with a newborn (and she even helped us navigate things with our toddler!). What I appreciated most was how collaborative she was. Caitlin never came in with a one-size-fits-all approach; instead, she listened, offered options, and worked with me to figure out exactly what I needed as a mom--and what would help my baby thrive. I cannot recommend Caitlin enough to anyone looking for genuine, knowledgeable, and compassionate support before, during, and after birth. She is truly a gift.

I enjoy Barbara and Jun's classes as well. Even after a tough workout and some soreness, I always come away feeling like this is actually GOOD for my body!

They offer both Pole and Aerial classes, each with their own vibe and energy. Pole classes are held in Suite N and tend to have a bolder, more expressive atmosphere. Aerial classes are in Suite O and are usually calmer and more focused on flow and form. Make sure you head to the correct suite depending on your class. When you arrive, just check in with the instructor, or follow the lead of others in the room. Some instructors like to check everyone in personally, while others are more casual about it. It's a no-shoes kind of space. For Aerial, you're usually barefoot or in socks. For Pole, you're either barefoot or in heels depending on the class. I've taken a variety of classes over the years, but these days I'm more focused on Aerial. I especially want to shout out KC, who is my favorite instructor. She's clear, encouraging, and just a great teacher overall. Her classes are the perfect mix of supportive and challenging, and I always leave feeling stronger and more confident. I've been a student since the studio was called Poletential, back when it was under different ownership. It's been great to see the space evolve while still staying a welcoming and empowering place to train.

Linda is now located inside a Chiropractic office in Dublin, CA. She offers at-home and on-site…read moremobile massage services still, but now has an office! The location is beautifully decorated! It's a quiet office with a large hallway restroom, complimentary coffee and teas in the waiting room. Being within a Dr's office, it was clean and felt safe and serene. I received the 90 min hot stone massage and opted for the CBD oil add-on. My neck, shoulder and arm pain is something that comes and goes. At its worst, I feel radiating pain and achiness that can continue for several days and disturb my sleep. This time, instead of "enduring" it for several days (and whining to my husband) I booked an appt with Linda. Online booking is super easy and convenient. If you don't know what type of massage you want or need, it's OK! Because Linda will ask you and adjust as needed. When I told her my symptoms, she included some trigger points and stretches! Ahhhhhh She definitely focused on my neck, shoulder and arm (main complaint) but did not forget the rest of my body! ( I didn't realize my lower back and legs were also tight!) The CBD oil did not smell and was a thick oil. She told me not to shower tonight. The only bad thing about CBD oil is that if it gets in your hair, your hair looks super greasy. So bring a hat if you need to go somewhere afterward. Not sure if it was the CBD or the actual massage, but I slept really well and did not wake up multiple times, as I had been doing! My neck and shoulder felt so much better, very loose and I no longer felt the deep radiating ache! I plan to do bi-weekly appts with Linda, as part of my self-care routine!

Be prepared for cuteness overload. I surprised my partner with this experience for Valentine's Day…read more I'm glad we didn't actually go on Valentine's Day because it's a group experience. Anyway, I was kind of intimidated by doing this for several reasons so let me just walk you through my anxiety (in case you're like me) and need your nerves calmed. First, the yoga. I'm not the biggest fan of yoga. Thankfully, this was a very basic yoga class. Also, there was a very relaxed feel because the focus is the goats. Expect side conversations and giggles every now and then and photographs being taken because, again, the goats. Next thing I was nervous about was the dress code. I ended up wearing sweatpants, sneakers, and a t-shirt which was the right decision in February. Still, there were some people that showed up in jeans and had no problem. Then, there was the drive, specifically the mention that I needed AWD. The check in actually happens at the entrance of the driveway which was not clear at first, but once there I saw the gathering of vehicles and it all clicked. AWD is definitely needed to make it past the entrance and even though I was given a number if I needed to contact someone, T-Mobile has no service so biggest thing here is do show up early if needing to be picked up. I left my water in my car but the owners (who are very nice by the way) provide water and tea and hot chocolate. Only thing you really need a heads up for is that the goats might bless you and that the bathroom is a compost one meaning sawdust instead of flush. The highlight of this whole thing goes without saying is the time with the goats (all 12 of them). They were all very friendly and cooperative when it came to taking pics for the gram. Highly recommend even if it's a drive away.

Seeing those cute goats…read morerunning up the hill towards us will be one of the happiest memories I will ever be able to recall in my life. If you are a serious yogi that requires silence and challenging inversions, this may not be the class for you. But, if you're an animal lover and have a playful spirit, I highly recommend! This will not be an experience soon forgotten, and I have already started making plans with various friend groups to come back. A question I have been asked frequently was, "Do they poop on you?" The manager Lucy has a sense of humor about this and says that if you receive a "blessing", you will be given a free chapstick. Similar to small children, there are some signs of the goats are about to take a bathroom break, so many situations can be avoided. One girl did need to trade out a mat during our class when a goat peed on it (I don't believe she got wet), and a friend just missed a single pellet when we were taking pictures with the goats balancing on us after class. The pictures say so much more about this experience than my review can, so please enjoy!
