    The climbing area is fantastic and they also have a separate gym! The staff is really friendly and helpful.

    That's absolutely true, but I would add that it's the best value in Charlottesville--monthly membership is under $50.

    I have been going to triangle for almost 2 years and it pains me to leave a one star review. But I…read morehad to cancel my membership for some non-negotiables. Pros: - The staff: They are pleasant, knowledgeable about climbing, and a joy to be around. - Climbing: Engaging, and I love the routes they come up with. - Community: Great people, and truly what I'll miss most. Cons: - Filth: There is no regular professional cleaning service and the grime continues to be ignored. It has built up to a point I cannot justify paying the exorbitant price. -- There have been small black bugs in the spa shower since July 2025, and I have notified staff several times. They have multiplied in this time. Picture/video attached. -- There is black mold in both the steam room and sauna. I have notified staff several times. I go to the steam and sauna for my asthma, but it only makes it worse at Triangle. Pictures attached. -- For those that aren't spa-goers, it may disgust you to learn that triangle staff, after acknolwedging the aforementioned points, said the nastiest thing in the gym is the rock holds. -- The turf in the weight room is sticky in parts and matted down with conglomerated sweat. - Unresponsive: I brought up issues many times with staff, but the cleanliness never gets addressed. It took over a year of multiple members complaining about urine stains and smells in the mens bathroom for them to simply add an air freshener and smell-reducing pad to the toilets. -- I do NOT expect your desk staff to clean the whole facility. This requires a competent professional service. -- A response from triangle to a prior review from a month ago mentioned a professional crew within "the coming week or so." There has been no change, not in the last month, not in the last 2 years. - Pricing: I originally paid the individual membership price of $89 a month. When my roommates discovered the group plan we were told it would be $39 each for 3 members. Seemed too good to be true but we were reassured. Online, 3 members should amount to $197 ($66 each). Turns out we were charged $267 ($89 each) per month of our group membership. Triangle has not returned any of our contact about this overcharging and it is beginning to feel predatory. So, Triangle, I implore you to: 1. Clean your entire facility. It's embarrassing. 2. Provide straightforward pricing for memberships and make sure all staff are trained in this before they sign people up. 3. Respond to your members concerns. We want to keep being a part of Triangle. Thank you, and I would be elated to see these changes and revise my review to reflect them.

    I joined Yelp to leave this review here because I am at my wits end. I reluctantly agree with…read moreJared's 1-star review that TRC does not keep up its facility. 5 stars to the staff, setters, and community. 1 to the management and upkeep. Have been member 2 yrs, roughly 3 times a week. In that time, the spa has had either or both the hot tub or the cold plunge out of temp/order at least once a week. When I finally spoke up about it in Jan 2026, the spa closed for several weeks for "repair". The hot tub remains broken/tepid, and the cold plunge has been over 50F, sometimes 65F, most days since they replaced the chiller, though it's set at 46F. The sauna bench is collapsing from rot. Yes there's mold. Saw the bugs in Jared's video--that's where you shower before you get in hot/cold tubs. The spa floor has been cleaner most days, but still has the occasional muck and mud suggesting nobody has looked at it all day. Last year there was a piece of green chewing gum on the floor for 3 months. Audio system in common area is blown/distorted--since late 2025. Maybe turn it off if it's pumping out static and you're not willing to fix it? Problem solved. Exercise bike missing pedal straps since Sept 2025 despite 3+ emails to TRC. Why do you leave a broken machine in this room? Maybe remove it if you're not willing to fix it? Problem solved. So much of this is own-goal stuff. Painful to see. Infuriating to pay for. My emails to ask these things be fixed have been met with a mixture of genuine understanding, lip service, advice on "how I shouldn't feel about it", and assurances that they're looking into it. I'm not a hot tub repairman, but for the 5-6 weeks? the spa was closed to unsuccessfully repair it, a new one could have been installed that is current tech. The CEO graciously offered me a refund on me and my partner's $1400+ annual prepaid membership. I hope I do not have to take him up on that, I would miss my friends and climbing partners and the excellent work of the setters (yall rock). I am afraid to get my hopes up, but am leaving this here less as a warning to others and more in an effort to light a fire under the operators to maintain their facility and provide the services its members pay for.

Also the…read morebathrooms are a mile away from the actual gym (have to exit and walk down 3 different hallwas) and are a little dark/dingy. Plenty of parking, friendly staff, and most importantly - to me - good quality problems that you can spend a couple hours on. I don't like the color/circuit grading (prefer V scale) but the climbs themselves are good.

    Went here for a day pass with a friend to check out Peak since we were in the area. Coming from…read moreNorthern Virginia (Sportrock), it was nice to see visit another gym outside of the area. The grading system here is pretty fair. Found most of the grades to be very accurate to the V scale that they use. They have plenty of routes on Top Rope and Bouldering for all skill levels, and also have a long comp wall as well! With a variety of holds on slab, caves and overhang, you can definitely gets some miles in at this gym. some of the walls here are kind of high from what I'm used too, so it was a little scary getting to the top. The gym is also clean and very spacious. Plenty of walls to go around so peak hours shouldn't be so bad. I haven't experienced it since I'm not from the area, but the space is huge. Overall, a very nice gym. Clean, spacious and accurate grades. Definitely recommend this climbing gym!

    Awesome experience with Lester! Our Scout Troop had an outstanding time caving. It was a full body,…read morelearning, and physically challenging experience. We learned about the caves and how they were formed, proper gear and safety procedures, navigation in the caves, and ways to help fellow team members in the cave. We turned out our head lamps and experienced total darkness. Lester did a great job of breaking it down and making everything understandable to our younger scouts. This is worth the cost and is affordable for what you experience. Warning: this is not a tourist cave with lights and massive groups walking around, this is an amazing underground event, crawling, squeezing through tight spaces, pulling yourself and team over ledges and walls. Look forward to our next trip.

The views were incredible, and Lester was seriously an amazing guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, encouraging, and just genuinely fun to spend the day with. He took the time to thoroughly explain all of the safety procedures and setup, and made sure we felt comfortable and safe while still letting us challenge ourselves and have a ton of fun. He also shared so many cool facts about the environment and area along the way, which added a whole other layer to the experience. His two main principles are fun and learning, and he absolutely delivered on both. We couldn't have asked for a better guide or experience and would 100% recommend WILD GUYde to anyone looking for an unforgettable outdoor adventure in Shenandoah!
