Amazing gym, with lots of workout classes, friendly people, and clean facilities! I would recommend coming to this gym!

My partner and I took part in an intro class where we learned the basics of belaying and rock climbing. I definitely recommend! I don't remember our instructors name but they were super helpful and knowledgeable in the subject. I was confident in my skills after the class was over. After the class they let you keep climbing for as long as you'd like or they give you a pass to come back the same day (for free!) The gym itself has lots to offer! There's a rock climbing area, gym (weights and machines), locker rooms, and a sauna! There may be more upstairs but I didn't make my way up there. Parking: we did street parking and it was pretty inexpensive (I think it was $2/hour). I don't believe they have a parking lot so street parking will be your only option. I highly recommend this gym!!! read more

First time indoor rock climbing for me and my 6 year old and 11 year old. It was such a great place for our first time. The employees were really helpful, kind and treated us very well. I took the belay instructional and my kids did a one on two training on rock climbing. I believe you have to be at least 13 to belay but they were able to put on the gear and both of my kids made it to the tops of their walls! I was able to rock climb as well, and then I was the belayer for an employee while another instructed me. My hands were so tired, and it's definitely a great whole body workout. So much fun and I can see how people are addicted to rock climbing! This will be our new stop every time we're in Portland! I highly recommend this place! If you've ever been on the fence about trying it, go for it!! Sooo muc read more

This is a very beautiful and large climbing gym. Came in with a day pass at $21 each, which isn't too bad at all compared to other climbing gyms I've gone to. This gym has a ton of top roping routes and they also have a lot of pretty good bouldering selections upstairs. The lifting weights portion of the gym here is also MASSIVE compared to all the other climbing gyms I've ever seen. I think it had at least 2 squat racks? The lifting weights portion of the gym I go to is half the size of what this place has, so that's really nice for all of you who enjoy climbing and lifting weights. I didn't get to try out the yoga, but there's yoga classes here too, which I'd love to try. This place is thorough and you have to watch a video about bouldering basics and safety before you climb here for the first time. We got belay certified here too and the staff was very nice & informative. When top roping, they have grigris with auto-locking carabiners at every top rope, so you don't have to bring your own belay device. They also have a mini store here that has a lot of cool items like climbing shoes, climbing gear, and drinks you can buy. We really enjoyed this place and wish we could've stayed longer to climb! If I lived in Portland, I imagine myself getting a membership at this spot. read more

I have done some boarding with my friends and finally decided to take a belay class. The instructor, Jasmine was super nice and clear. I got two weeks trial pack including renting gear for $28, which was a good deal, I tried my firs belaying with my friend, awkward, a bit scary but it was fun after all. Though, my legs and arms are so sore, it would be recommended to take follow up beginner class, so you can learn many tips to make climbing easier and effective. This class offer a month membership after you complete 4 weeks (once a week) class. They have stretching area, some workout machines, set of weights, so you can warm up and cool down. Their locker room is very clean, there is a sauna, it's perfect after climbing. Close to my house is a big plus, I also got another week deal from Groupon to try a little bit more, they offer other classes, yoga, Pilates, etc., also good for kids climbers as well (and I think they are fearless and much better than me...) I don't know other climbing gym but I heard this is one of the best one in Portland. I like them a lot! read more

wow this place is so magical. I'm from socal and had to visit a climbing spot while I was in Portland. This place has PLENTY of top roping, multiple walls for bouldering, and even a good weights and machine area. bouldering are on floors 2 and 3 and top rope is all bottom floor along with the weights and machinery. I only came to check out their bouldering walls and i was really amused by this overhang section that they had and a slide like thing if u fall! its so cool! I'm still a beginner at climbing so I found that the problems here to be tougher than what I am used to back home. They are all challenging but really fun . Staff is really nice and the people climbing are super friendly as well. For the price of the gym membership and day pass, I would say it is on the pricier side. However, you get what you pay for and the amenities, service, and projects are great. If i were living in Portland, this would def be my home gym. There are so many challenging problems that would encourage me to do my best to keep going. read more

First of, Staff was super friendly! I was visiting for only a few days and I kept finding myself here rather than trying the other gyms. The absolute best facility I've visited on the west coast. read more

Awesome gym, great route setting. Lots I'd really modem climbing gym features. Will definitely return.

I have a friend who has been trying to get me to rock climb with her for the last 10+ years. When I visited her recently, I decided to finally give it a try at Planet Granite. Planet Granite has set my expectations high after my recent visit. Its a gorgeous gym with bold colors and is fairly spacious. Luckily, my friend had a guest pass so all I had to cover was shoe and harness rentals, costing me $8. Not bad at all. Before we jumped into climbing, we did a 1 hour fitness class that I can't remember the name of. My friend thought it would be a great idea for me to take it since the focus of the class is improving proper climbing form. The class consisted of shoulder stretches, planks, wall balls, weights and pull ups. I really like the instructor. She was very friendly, gave clear instructions, and corrected form when needed. It is one of the better fitness classes I have taken so far. After the class, my friend went over the basics of rock climbing. I was impressed with how high I went for my first time. Even though there were a few times I got scared, I had a lot of fun. The fitness class and climb is such a great workout. Its been 3 days since I went and I am still sore! I really wish Planet Granite was in Seattle because I totally would get a membership with this gym but for now, I'll just have to settle with occasional visits. read more

In the Pearl a place to hang out. LOL! Climbing works your core and entire body, in theory. Exercise your mind while you're figuring out your hand and foot hold and moves, like a puzzle, when climbing the wall. Feel the adrenaline hanging out, different then pumping up in the gym Do you want to join a gym. This is another way to train and get in shape while having some fun and challenging your strength and flexibility. My facility tour went well. I'm ready to give it a try, take a class. All equipment, even shoes, provided for the beginner. Lots of classes for climbing and nice engineered hardwood floor in the yoga room, stories high, with views of the Pearl. Lots of exercise equipment for aerobic and light weight conditioning. Sauna. Prices for a day look reasonable to see if you like it before locking in a membership. read more

Movement - Portland - Place to hang out. LOL! - Yoga Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Best climbing gym in Portland. Facilities are top notch and staff is super friendly. Lots of street parking available. Parking right in front of the gym is usually taken but the blocks surrounding are almost always open. Main floor has sport climbing and a good size exercise area with machines, weighs, rowers and nice stretching area. Second floor is for bouldering with a warm up area and room for stretching. Third floor has a room for classes and another set of cardio equipment. This place is huge and has everything you need for climbing and general fitness. The climbing walls are super well maintained and routes get changed every couple weeks. They also have an excellent steam room. If you want to try the gym out I highly recommend taking the beginner rock climbing course. It's 129 bucks for 4 classes and includes a 4 week membership - amazing value. You'll get a belay class, learn the basics to top rope and boulder. Instructors are super knowledgeable and also super nice and friendly. read more

My mom took me to movement last year and I've been going ever since. It's great with bouldering and the sauna is amazing. I like that there are Pride flags in the place, it makes a person of LGBTQ+ feel more welcome. The staff are really nice! would REALLY recommend! read more

This place is awesome. Its the biggest climbing GYM in North America. The place is so huge that you basically need to spend a whole day here. The first level, they have a gym with elliptical, bikes, etc and yes the great famous climbing wall. Second floor they have bouldering and top floor is yoga. I am amazed. Not only that, they have a small section store and they have a discount on a set (harness, shoe, chalk bag and chalk) for $128. WOW. I had a great time here. Its a bit challenging. You can't use your own belay device and you must you their own belay gris gris. if you want to lead then you have to bring your own rope. You have to check out this gym in order to see what I mean. I am definitely coming back. I love this place read more

Great and elegant place where you can spend hours climbing without feeling bored or stranger. Everyone knows everyone. My kids had a blast last week climbing for the first time. Highly recommend it read more

This is one of the two rope climbing gyms in Portland. I spent my first two years climbing at the other rope gym then switched to this one a year ago. Both gyms have their pros and their cons, but you really can not go wrong with either one. Both provide fitness classes, yoga, top rope, leading, bouldering, weights, and much more. Movement definitely has a little more of a corporate feel, probably because it is part of a larger chain of climbing gyms. On the plus side, your membership works with other gyms in their portfolio, so if you're traveling, you may be in luck. Simply put, the amenities are just better at this gym. It is a larger gym with more routes and taller walls and a more complete weight area. There is also a sauna. One of the drawbacks is that this gym does get busier than the other one so be prepared to wait for your route if you go during peak times. But really both gyms are 5 star gyms and we're really lucky to have both of them. read more

I love this gym. I didn't think I would- I had this preconceived notion it would be stuffy and man-bun-esc. I was totally wrong in my judgement. The staff is super kind and genuinely seem to enjoy being employees at PG. I enjoy how the diverse the music is and how the staff changes it up. The space is open and clean. The rock wall changes often enough that you don't get bored even if you visit multiple times a week- there's enough time to project something while keeping it fresh. The locker rooms have all the amenities one would expect and are kept clean. There's a private locker room/shower/bathroom for those more comfortable taking care of business alone. I prefer the 'off hours' either 6am during the week or mid morning. The evenings feel like a disco to me and since I have flexibility in my schedule I just avoid those popular times. Saturday and Sunday mornings are often quiet as well. The only thing I cannot speak to is the workout classes. The offering is varied (yoga, HITT, etc.) and I see people taking them- I just haven't gotten around to it yet. read more

Brand new, large rock gym in the hippest* part of town. They built it shortly after I left Portland and I'm just now getting around to climbing there during a brief visit. The gym is squeaky clean. It doesn't smell like sweat and feet. The facility is huge. We went during a slow time (Sunday afternoon) and most of the routes in the cavernous facility were open. It reminds me so much of our brand new gym in Anchorage (Alaska Rock Gym) that I feel like it must've been built by the same people. How does it compare to the Portland Rock Gym (PRG)? - PG is much bigger. - The grades at PG are much, much softer. I struggle up 5.9's at PRG and cruise 5.10c's at PG. Who's correct? Well, outside I usually struggle up 5.9's...if that tells you anything. Seriously though, the grades are soft here to the point of being dangerous if you're going to transition to outdoor climbing. Start much lower when/if you start climbing outside! - The routes I climbed at PG were not as inventive/puzzly as the ones at PRG. The difficulty largely came from how sustained they were, rather than in trying to mentally figure out the moves. - PG makes you use GriGri's. Personally, I hate this. I think it teaches lazy belay techniques and poor safety habits. *get off my lawn* -There are no auto-belay's at PG. Maybe it's because I'm a loner, but I really enjoy being able to go to a rock gym and do a bunch of laps on a roped, route solo. . - There are no slab routes at PG and very few pure-vertical routes. This is a matter of taste. Personally, I don't climb overhung rocks with massive jungle-gym-style holds on them in the great outdoors. I prefer routes that are more similar to what I encounter in the mountains: slab and vertical. Most of the routes here can be described as "easy boulder problems with huge jugs". - The parking situation is a nightmare at both gyms, but it is especially bad here. Where would I go if I still lived in Portland? I'm not sure. I'd probably go to where ever most of my friends climbed at. If I didn't have any friends, I'd pick PRG. *If you're new to Portland, that is. read more

This review is only for the fitness part of this gym, not the climbing portion. If you are like me (a powerlifter, olympic lifter, or CrossFitter, and visiting Portland from out of town), this is a great gym with all the equipment and facilities you will need for a good training session. Let me break down why it's so great: 1) The overall facility: bright, airy, and huge. A lot of climbing space as well as fitness studios for classes. Really liked the music playlist. 2) The locker rooms: also big, clean, and well stocked. Lockers require your own lock (this is a good thing I think) and showers are good. 3) The fitness equipment: really, really great. Two large rigs for barbells (squatting, benching, etc) and pull-ups, three concept-2 rowers, two airdyne bikes, two GHDs, about 20 total barbells of various weights with lots of corresponding bumper plates, lots of dumbbells, lots of kettlebells, wall balls, plyo boxes of various heights, as well as a few treadmills and elliptical. If you can't do your olympic/power/crossfit workout here, it's way too complicated. Lots of space for stretching as well. 4) Prices: pretty standard for drop-in: around $20 depending on when you come. All in all, a great fitness section to get your lift on when you are in town (and a great gym to join even if you don't climb). Two small annoyances to note (not quite enough to bring the gym down a star, but almost): 1) Even if you tell the staff that you are only there for the fitness equipment, they will still make you watch a safety video about climbing before you can enter. This is a complete waste of 20ish minutes. 2) They don't have any rules stopping people from going barefoot in the weightlifting portion...and lots of people do it...sort of nasty. Otherwise, a great gym! read more

My favorite climbing gym in Portland. Great classes and staff. Excellent route setting.

State of the art, new climbing gym in the Pearl. I have been tracking this place for almost a whole year, marking their progress and waiting for their doors to open. I am so excited to say that time has finally come! Following the footsteps of their amazing legacy gym from San Fran, they know exactly what they are doing... in fact, I think this is the company's 4th gym nationwide. They put a lot of time, money, and thought into every bit of construction of this fantastic place. They have weights, cardio equipment, 55 foot rock climbing walls, hundreds of bouldering problems, a yoga studio, a spin studio, and a sauna. There is definitely something for everyone in this world-class over 30,000 square foot gym! The managers and staff are so nice and so excited for this place to open just as much as the public. They had a couple preview nights for avid fans to sign up for memberships early and take a sneak peek of the place. It was jaw-dropping. I have climbed at one of the biggest gyms in the country (Earth Treks - Bethesda, MD), as well as a lot of smaller ones. This place is Grand, capital G, Grand! It's like the "Equinox" of CLIMBING gyms. The locker room walls are gorgeous, they might actually be made of granite. Tons of day lockers, several bathroom stalls, and individual showers. Towel service included! Just try to only use one and don't abuse the towel availability for everyone else, unless you need a clean one post-shower, before entering the sauna, then by all means keep hygienic. They also have these cool sink faucets with built in Dyson hand driers (yes there are paper towels available as well), but what I really appreciate is the built in lotion pumps by the sinks. Great for those post-climb dry hands. Brilliant foresight, thank you Planet Granite!!! They don't have their own parking deck which is a bummer, but there is a decent amount of street parking since it's more on the edge of the Pearl neighborhood bordering the still developing areas of Naito Pkwy. Short walk to park, or short walk from where the street car takes you and you should be okay. Their rates, relative to their spectacular-ness, are unbelievable. Right now, for a couples month-to-month membership (which is obviously what I got) is only $55 per person! That is RIDONK!!!!! Speaking of Equinox, high class gyms of any affinity usually are over $100 monthly memberships per person, so think of it that way! It's a sweet deal, in fact they could've charged more and we would've still done it. This place is sick, totally worth it! You can tell how much money went into the place with the exquisite route setting. They obviously had enough dough to shell out a plethora of holds so they could have all matching-colored holds, despite changing them around all the time, so they didn't have to fuss up their beautiful walls (signature 3D styles by Walltopia) with so many different colors of constantly-removed-and-replaced masking tape. I could go on and on about how much this place is (pun-intended) ROCKIN', but actually I'm afraid too many people will come and crowd me out... hehehe. Seriously though, I fear for PRG, they are so going to lose some business. Source should still be safe though cuz not all people want to drive over the bridge to climb. To each their own... me... I think I found my local place. read more

I have to admit, Portland, I'm a little jealous. You already seem to corner the market on brunch, beer, and boobs, but now you're home to one of the coolest climbing gyms I've ever seen! I mean, there's no love lost for the climbing gyms back home - each one has their niche and character, their grandiosity or their homeyness - but Portland PG has to be one of the sleekest environments ever; newness and fresh coats of color and gleaming finish might have contributed to that excitement, but the thorough, thoughtful design of absolutely everything, from rock-walls to washrooms, make this newest PG feel like it's many peoples' passion made real. "... indoor climbing is never going to be rock climbing, so why try to make it look like rock?" - Chris Sharma The [Triangles?] Walltopia system all through the rope & lead climbing area have a modern, vibrant look and add variety to towering 55'+ ascents. The bouldering areas offer some exciting features like top-out walls for those that like to stand atop their conquests and a ramp under a lengthy negative wall for all of you overhang climbing gluttons [me]. The weights and cardio amenities should be sufficient to occupy most circuit trainers & fitness freaks. Route-setting runs the gamut from straight-forward, muscle-y ladders to funky, body-mechanic engaging, balance tests. Like anything, what's been set and how it's climbed is subjective and a matter of personal process and ability. Sometimes cerebral, sometimes daredevil, find your way and have fun with it!* While this newest PG is fresh and new (for now), it's great to see some familiar faces from PG Sunnyvale manning the staff and that they've brought their welcoming and friendly vibes with them! Mmmm. I could almost move to the Pacific North West if everywhere vibes as positive and laid-back as Portland and Portland PG. Very much looking forward to coming back! _____________________________________________ *Knocks, but not really: already, even on opening day, elitists (of which I am so glad there were only a few) scoffed at the presence of so many newbs and "soft" ratings - that routes were graded harder than they should be. To that and them I say STFU; we get it, we get it, you're an awesome climber and you need to qualify that. Blah blah blah. F*cking snobs, calm down; let excited new climbers be excited. Dear newbs (myself included): just read routes and try them - don't let a rating determine whether you think you can or can't try to send something. Go after it. read more

LOVE this gym. From the climbing, to the yoga, to the staff. It gets crowded but what cool stuff doesn't?! We climbed at the "other" main climbing gym and never felt welcomed there. If you aren't in the locals group, well, "you aren't really welcome but we want your money" was how i felt about the "other" gym. But I did love their auto belay. So this gym opened and it was instant love. My outdoor climbing went up two grades by attending a gym that I felt welcomed. So, people can say the grades are soft etc, but whatever... Climb a harder grade then! This gym has perfect locker rooms, amazing yoga and fitness classes and above all...awesome climbing. read more

There's so much to do: bouldering, lead climbing, top rope, a gym, yoga, HIIT, and a dry sauna. The bathrooms are clean and the showers run HOT. Your first climb is free! (Fill out the waivers and watch the video online before coming in) read more

Jesus Christ. I have to be honest. I think this Planet Granite is nicer than the one in San Francisco... So I'm native to the bay area, and I'm also a mountaineer. Oregon has some great mountaineering objectives. So naturally I have to visit Oregon, specifically Portland here and there. So why do I give this PG Portland 5 stars? Because it's... freaking... amazing... I mean, good lord, there are so many walls to climb on, and it's so varied! AND YOU CAN TOP OUT on certain walls. That's what I'm talking about! The bathroom facilities are extremely well kept and clean. The staff is very kind and will even go out of their way to show you around the gym if it's your first time there. There's also workout classes, gyms, saunas... dude this place is great I highly recommend this Planet Granite! read more

Disclaimer: this was my first time doing rock climbing. Went here on a weekday night to give rock climbing a shot with a couple of friends. Said friends knew how to rock climb so that was good, otherwise you have to take a lesson to learn how to belay before u can hit the walls, should have looked that up before I got there! Its pretty reasonable in cost, $24 gets u unlimited rock climbing with all the gear u need. The walls looked like they had a good spread from the easy to the extremely difficult. They have a bouldering gym too on the first floor. Nice cheerful place to check out if you like rock climbing. read more

This PG location is insane. For top roping/lead climbing it has soooo many routes as well as bouldering upstairs. It's also soooo bright and colorful which I loooove. ....Has a gym downstairs but I don't use that hahaha. I've only been here a handful of times and every time I have visited I've always been treated with such kindness! (started my membership at the sunnyvale location). read more

This is such a great gym and is so under utilized, loved this place and highly recommend. I was visiting and used my membership for Planet Granite in the bay area at the Portland location, yay for free gym access when traveling! In comparison to bay area this location is bigger, newer, and cheaper. I am not sure when this location opened but everything looks new and there is only a slight stinky foot smell, much less than other gyms haha. I was there on a Saturday morning with my date and we were both surprised how few people were taking advantage of this great facility. Climbing is always better when it is not crowded, so this was a real treat anyways. The main attraction is the indoor rock climbing walls. There are tons of trails for both bouldering and belay, much more than I have seen at any other indoor climbing gym (they say ~200 bouldering trails). The belay trails were the highest I have ever seen (up to 55feet)! We did bouldering during our visit and got a great session in. There are trails of all difficulties, an area where you can top out, some overhangs and a ramp. You might see a rock in the shape of a baby face. Additionally there is cardio and lifting equipment, a yoga studio, and fitness classes to get you moving. Some of the cardio equipment overlooks the belay walls and gives a great view to enjoy while getting those treadmill miles in. Memberships are very reasonable for everything that is included. I did not like that they charge an initiation fee, which just seems like a useless fee. However, their membership cancellation policy is very fair and better than other gyms. There are lockers, showers, and towels. I had a great time at this location and would return if ever in Portland. read more

What a beautiful gym! I just started climbing this month and I already got a membership to this place. I've been experimenting with other gyms such as The Circuit (all 3 locations), Portland Rock Gym, and Stoneworks. Hands down planet granite was the best one in my opinion. It has both top roping and bouldering. It's beautiful and it's for a relatively decent price (I have a student membership so I'm paying $54 a month) Membership perks: you get a guest pass every 2 months (it doesn't roll over so be sure to use it) but you can sign up to 2 friends a day to take a belay lesson for free! Belay lesson + day pass + rentals (shoes&harness) = 28 dollars originally but it's free if you have a member sign you up for the lesson. Definitely a great way to introduce climbing to your friends, without having them to pay. All they need to do is take the lesson for an hour and they're free to do whatever they want in the gym. I really like how the routes are all one single color and not labeled by colorful tape unlike the other gyms. I notice they change the top roping routes more often than the bouldering routes. I also notice the routes here are harder than the other gyms. A V1-2 here would be a V3 at one gyms. Great staff. Easy to point out, they all wear light blue t-shirts. Looking forward to develop my skills as a climber here. The only downfall for me is having to pay for parking. Paying to park sucks in general but paying for parking and having a membership can add up. So either go at 6am till 8am or after 7pm to avoid paying for parking. read more

The best gym in town. Sport and crack climbing, bouldering, fitness area and equipment.

All I can say is this gym is amazing. It has it all and then some. I don't rock climb but a few friends and I have came here to boulder and what a cool experience. My buddies have a membership so I can come once a month with their guest pass! Upstairs is the bouldering area which means free climb, no robes, no nothing. Everything is labeled by numbers to know where to start. V0 is the easiest but if you've never climbed it may not be (at least for me). Still a great experience even if you don't climb regularly. I'd recommend any level of climbers to come here. Their gym equipment is top notch Wether it be weights, cardio or climbing equipment. It's all here. They do a drop in fee for those not wanting the monthly membership and have student discounts. The memberships aren't cheap, but you pay for what you get for. Bathrooms have saunas and showers as well. read more

I normally climb at Seattle Bouldering Project and was visiting Portland for Christmas break and thought to try out this new gym! I hear it's super popular in California and I was excited it was making its way up north. I have been drooling over the pictures and in awe of how enormous the gym seems. It's located downtown, but in a less crowded area, so you could still find some free parking if you look carefully. Upon walking in, you can sign your waivers and pay at the desk. You are greeted by the massive, tall walls where you can top rope and even do some lead climbing. What I really like about this facility is that there is a separate area to take the belay test. The places I've been to, it's just at a place where you can climb on the wall. There are sooo many routes that loop around into rooms with even more routes. I've climbed in Seattle at Stone and Vertical World and I must say the routes here are quite long. I got pooped after one! I like that the routes are numbered with which rope you are supposed to use. There's also a shorter wall for kids to climb with easier routes. I mostly boulder indoors and top rope outdoors, so I was impressed with the bouldering area. It's located upstairs. They have a pretty decent bouldering area with "the wave" that juts out where it's more overhung. I've noticed most of the walls have some sort of slope or curve to the wall to add dimension to your climb. There are some parts of the wall where it's completely vertical. There is also one top out boulder. The most exciting part of this area is the underhang part that has a 45 degrees incline. There are mats right below you so if you fall, it's not a long way down. SUPER fun spot. They also have a large area to work out in with several treadmills, weights, hang boards, etc. They also have more machines upstairs. Lots of variety to mix up your work out. I noticed that people come here primarily to top rope. They also don't change their bouldering routes that often. I noticed routes dating from when the opened and not many newer ones were put up. I don't know how their schedule works. Their selection of equipment (bags, carabiners, crash pads, helmets, etc) is also impressive. It's comparable to online! They also have a wide variety of shoes to choose from. Compared to REI, you have quite the selection here, with a lot of different sizes you can try on. The gym is very clean, colorful, and large! Needless to say, I will be back! read more

I was here during opening weekend. It was a bit of a cluster because there were so many people there, but place is definitely awesome. I interacted with a few staff members and they were all really nice and helpful. I'm not a seasoned climber, so I can't comment much on climbing here compared to other places, but here's some pricing info.: Reduced introductory pricing until the end of the year. These prices are valid until 2016. Go check it out and jump on it if you're interested: Individual: $67/mo. or $737/yr. Student: $54/mo. or $594/yr. Family of 2: $110/mo. or $1210/yr. Membership includes access to all four PG locations, yoga, gym equipment use, etc. For more info: http://www.planetgranite.com/locations/portland/pdx_rates.php read more

I've been to all the climbing gyms in Portland and this one is huge, clean and has a ton of options. My friend had a membership so I came as a guest. Rental shoes were fine, I had to watch a video (even thought I'd climbed a bunch before-- thought that was odd). I enjoyed the different routes...the sheer size and variety was great...my friend and I are very different levels so it was nice to have sections where we could climb nearby at different intensities. I enjoyed the locker room...had a sauna. It wasn't crowded the day I was there. Weirdly there was a dog inside (isn't that dangerous for the animal?). Will be back as a guest. I don't live nearby so I wouldn't get a membership here. read more

Another great climbing gym. Our home gym is PG SVL, so it was quite a thrill to visit this spacious gym in Portland. It has all of the look and feel as home, right down to the bathroom tile. If you enjoy climbing, this gym is top notch. read more

This gym is great! Solid bouldering upstairs, top rope climbing for days, plenty of fitness classes, lots of gym equipment... I could go on! If I had a criticism, I'd say that it's pretty packed around peak hours which is to be expected. That said, they're open for like 19 hours a day, so if you can find some time, they're probably open! read more

My 5 year old son did the half day 1pm to 5pm drop in rock climbing camp. I really liked how flexible and accommodating they were. They allowed us to buy individual days as we did not know how our son would like it. It turned out that he loved climbing walls. What 5 year old kid doesn't?? The first day he climbed all the way to the top and was fearless. His instructor was Kara, a super sweet and patient instructor. The half day rate 1pm to 5pm is $56. While the instructor is working with other kids climbing on the wall, the other kids get to play around or do arts and crafts. Here are things to know: 1. Bring food and drink. They don't provide this and you can buy snacks at the front desk like cookies and zbars. We were not told this on the first day and had nothing prepared. 2. It's not a professional kids camp where everything is perfectly organized and structured. It's usually a small group of kids 4-6 and one to two instructors. Kara was a great instructor for Asher as he was the youngest, she would walk him to the bathroom to make sure he washed his hands before snack time. I really appreciate that given that he's super young and still learning basic habits. I wish that there were 1 or 2 more kids that were Asher's age as the other kids were much older. But other than that... it was really great. Note that I had called Portland Rock Gym before I called Planet Granite and they do not accept kids under 6 years old, so this is how we came to planet granite as they do accept 5 year olds. Thanks! read more

Great facility! Having both bouldering and top-roping options under the same roof is great. The climbs are color coordinated making it easy to distinguish between routes. The base floor workout area is spacious and filled with new shiny equipment (treadmills, stationary bikes, elliptical, rowing machines, there are more machines on the 3rd floor). I also tried out the power yoga (studio on the 3rd floor) and two F10 fitness classes. They offer a great workout alternative and are included as part of the monthly membership. My partner went to a spin class which was held in the group fitness room on the 2nd floor. Sauna, showers and towels in the bathroom. Signed up for the introductory pricing at the family rate of $110 for both of us. Amazing deal! read more

I've been to rock gyms all over the country and internationally, and this is one of the best rock gyms I've been to. The biggest differentiators between here and other gyms you'll ever go to: This is clean, it has a legit weight area, it has a sauna. The dozen other reviews talk about the climbing, so I'll just discuss the weights. The weight area has 5 racks you can configure for benching, squats, or anything else with a bar. The weights are the bouncy colored type so you could go full olympic weightlifting and do cleans and drop the bar. The dumb bells go up to 100 lbs. There are two cable machines. There are various bars and handles for the cable machine. There is a hamstring machine and leg press machine, but admittedly both feel awkward. There are no mirrors (I've seen one guy actually bring his own mirror to the gym). There are big windows that are usually opened up for air flow. There are some rowing machines, running machines, and assisted pull-up machines. There are tons of bars and hangboards around to do pull-ups and practice finger strengths. read more
