    Bouldering!
    Catherine N.

    I love Mission Cliffs as a boulderer! I can't speak for the ropes area because I don't use that section at all. But, the bouldering section always has a great mix of technical problems for all levels. I think because there is limited space, some of the routes are so much more creatively set than I've seen at other Touchstone gyms. The only pitfalls are that the bouldering section is really small and can get very busy. Sometimes people lack spatial awareness and you have to be very careful not to fall on them. Also, the weights/gym section is decently equipped and I frequent the hangboard area as well for some less crowded training sessions.

    My wallet was stolen, and Mission Cliffs couldn't care less! Their response was consistent with the dismissive attitudes of staff members mentioned by other reviewers. I love the Mission Cliffs community, but the attitude of the staff is really disappointing. On March 25, 2025, between 7:30 and 8:30 PM, my wallet was stolen from my backpack, which was placed on a bench between the bouldering section and the yoga room during my class. I later discovered that the camera in the bouldering section clearly covers the theft area--but the gym manager initially claimed "camera does not cover the bench". I sent photo evidence, marked the camera and bench in bright red, and emailed them. Later I was told the footage was reviewed and handed over to the police, my request to view the footage in person has been completely ignored. I've been trying to work with the gym to get access to this footage, but it's been nothing but delays and excuses. Here's a timeline of my requests: March 25th night - Original request. I was told I can't review the footage, I needed to file a police report first. March 26th morning - They Excused with "we're busy now, but we can review this afternoon." I requested being present for the footage review but got ignored. Later told that the footage was transferred to the police, with no further details. March 27th - I formally requested footage review once again and asked for info about the footage transfer. March 28th -- Police information is provided, incident time was identified, told I can review the coming two days but need to make appointment. March 29th - Follow up within the timeline given to confirm for review time, however I was provided a very short window , which conflicted with my schedule. My request for alternatives went unanswered. The lack of cooperation and constant delays in accessing critical evidence is both frustrating and concerning. The first response to my request to review the footage was a blatant "lie" about the camera not covering the theft area, which was easily disproven. It's clear that they couldn't care less about helping you resolve a theft on their premises.

    Mission Cliffs is a part of 15 Touchstone Climbing gyms in California. This location is massive and has a ton of different levels for rock climbing. I haven't tried bouldering here, but this gym has an unfortunately small corner for bouldering. I would say that Dogpatch Boulders is better suited for bouldering. There is a sizable gym with varied equipment, yoga studio, and restrooms that have a ton of lockers. This place has everything you need on the spot, so it's forgivable if you forget to have caffeine, bring chalk, or what have you (they have tiny bandaids up front too). I have gone indoor rock climbing couple times before, but now I want to get belay certified and practice climbing so that I can do it outdoors. I came in for an introduction to climbing class. You learn necessary safety practices and get a hands-on experience in belaying and climbing. I'd say that my instructor was professional and helpful. I can tell this location is inclusive and I felt supported as a beginner rock climber. There are different groups you can join if you look at the posters and bulletins around. Mission Cliffs. Overall, 10/10!

    One of my best friends friend took me to Mission Cliffs for my first time rock wall climbing experience. I had such a fun time and will be looking forward to going there again! My friend and I went to Mission Cliffs around 1:30pm on a Saturday afternoon. Rock climbing has become pretty trendy in the past few years, so it was no surprise to me that Mission Cliffs was super busy. Even though it was busy, we had no problem finding the space to climb the proper grade for me. I've never been to an indoor rock climbing gym to begin with, so I was super impressed by the overall facility as I had no expectations. Since Mission Cliffs spanned a whole block, essentially one whole side of the gym was the rock wall. The rock wall had areas either just for top rope climbing or lead climbing as well as areas that allowed for both. There was also a designated bouldering section at one end of the gym. I loved the small lounge area that you climb up to, where you could get a bird's eye view of the place. What I liked about Mission Cliffs was that it was a one stop shop for all around fitness. The main attraction there was, of course, the rock climbing, but Mission Cliffs has a section for weight training, a cycling room, a yoga studio, and several treadmills and cardio machines around the facility. Lastly, the check-in process was easy, and customer service was excellent. Everyone working the reception area greeted us, and Jordan, who sized my shoes and provided my harness, was the nicest guy ever.

The stairmasters have been broken for some time now with the first one being broken for 2-3 months. One by one they broke & now they're all broken. I understand gym equipment can break from time to time but the fact that ALL stairmasters are broken, 30% of ellipticals are broken, a handful of treadmills, & the weight machines upstairs are missing pins, broken cables, etc is just pitiful from a gym like this. VARIOUS THINGS HAVE BEEN BROKEN FOR MONTHSSSS!!! The LEAST they could do is communicate to us what is going on & what they are doing to rectify this situation. I usually do not write reviews unless necessary to make a change to the establishment. I hope this review finds its way to someone who can do something Side note: this gym also is starting to have an issue with people hogging machines while doomscrolling on their phones between sets as they are "resting". If that grind your gears, this is a heads up. Side side note: notice how management only replies to "positive reviews"; this is a critical review from an intermediate gym goer(3 years of hypertrophy training) for some context.

They also have a bunch of stuff to aid in recovery that I didn't know about. Ryan recommended the inflatable compression sleeves for my legs.

About a year ago, they had a policy of onsite lane reservations, which is the right thing to do if you don't have online lane reservations. You had a clear start and end time, could plan your workout, and actually get a full swim in. For some reason, they've stopped doing that. Now you show up with no idea if you'll even get a lane, let alone finish in time to get to work. They're also allowing three or more people per lane, which is just unrealistic. Once a third person joins, it stops being a workout and turns into traffic management. You can forget about flip turns entirely. The lane speed designations don't help either. Most people are on tight schedules and aren't going to wait around for the "right" lane to open up. They also block off a lane for personal training, which is understandable, but that lane could still accommodate another swimmer. Decisions like this chip away at what's supposed to be a core service. Most pools in the city allow reservations. You can reserve a lane. Some even have a no show fee which totally works. you can't trust humans to so the right thing here because they in most cases won't. Bottom line, the lack of reservations and overcrowding make it impossible to plan a consistent, efficient swim. It turns something that should be straightforward into a daily gamble.

There's also a private massage room with a HydroMassage bed and a Hyperice station with all the tools, plus a giant screen showing calming nature scenes, perfect for recovery. The locker rooms and showers are spotless, stocked with E.O. body products, and... bidets on all the toilets! It's great bang for your buck, and I couldn't be happier here.

Carlos has helped me build both my confidence and my strength! I look forward to going to the gym He pushes me in the best way but still makes it feel approachable and doable. There seems to be a nice community in this location as well. All the trainers greet you with a smile and it genuinely feels friendly. Chad always has that nice smile and greet the second you walk in That kind of vibe makes such a difference, especially if you're someone who can feel a little shy at the gym like me lol.

Jonathan (the manager) recommended him since I was looking for real results, and quickly. I'm extremely busy, so any time I spend at the gym has to count. I bought a 24-session package and trained with Greg twice a week for three months. Today I finished my last session. The results speak for themselves: I lost all 10 lbs I'd been stuck with, gained 1 lb of muscle, and lost 12.4 lbs of body fat--about a pound of fat per week. My body fat dropped from 26.1% to 19.3%. Greg is incredibly knowledgeable, disciplined, and has the perfect formula for motivating you. He pushes you just enough so you work harder each time and walk away feeling proud of what you accomplished. He's honestly the BEST coach you could ask for. By the end of our training, he made sure I had solid technique and two routines I can follow on my own. I've never been a "gym person," but now I feel confident and excited to keep working out regularly. I've also worked with Olivia for massages, and she is absolutely wonderful. She really listens, works out all my knots, and her warm personality makes every session a joy. Her work perfectly complements the workouts. Kenton and Jonathan have also been awesome--they truly go above and beyond to understand your needs and make thoughtful recommendations. This is an incredibly friendly, supportive gym. I can't recommend it enough!

I was referred through the Four Seasons and booked spa services while in town for a week. While I paid full price and tipped accordingly, the overall quality of my services was disappointing. My facial, in particular, was not up to standard. I've had a HydraFacial before, and this experience was noticeably inconsistent. The serums that are typically left on the skin were removed, which was surprising and not in line with what the service should be. Meanwhile, my friend received a completely different (and much better) version of the same facial, including additional modalities and proper finishing--this level of inconsistency is a huge red flag. The massage was also underwhelming. The technique felt minimal and lacked intention, especially compared to my friend's experience, where she described a thorough, tension-relieving service that clearly went above and beyond. I did bring my concerns to the front desk staff before leaving, specifically about both my facial and massage. Unfortunately, the response was disappointing--they looked at each other as if unsure how to respond and offered no feedback, follow-up questions, or attempt to address the situation. At that point, I simply paid and left. (I will add that our initial encounter with the spa front desk girl who gave us a tour was exceptional and had great customer service etiquette. Sadly, she left as I was changing.) Customer service unfortunately didn't improve afterward. I inquired about Pilates Reformer sessions, and the front desk staff were less than helpful. I also followed up via email and didn't receive a response until a week later--which, again, is disappointing for a business of this caliber. Overall, between the inconsistent services, lack of accountability on-site, and delayed customer support, I left feeling that the experience did not reflect the price point or reputation. I had high hopes, but sadly, I'm not very impressed.
