Did not have a great experience here. I'd give it maybe 3 stars until I went to cancel my…read moremembership. First, the place smells like a bad combo of feet and climbing chalk. All climbing gyms have something of a funk, but this place is the worst. I joined to take the yoga classes mostly, but that's a hard pass. Classes start on time, but the gym allows members to show up late. When they do, they move the curtain, light up the whole room, and the noise of 100 climbers floods the room. Right in the time when you're settling in and trying to focus. Then the weight room is above the yoga room, so you get to hear weights slamming down during class, which is also disruptive. I found the classes super uneven, some being great (Bronwyn) and others being a weird combo of loud music over soft voices so you can't hear the instructor, or instructors borderline shouting at folks to expel breath as loud as possible. Not what I'm looking for. So, no problem, it's not for me. It's close to home, price is reasonable, and they have good climbing facilities. Boulder area isn't the best, but the rest of it is quite good with interesting routes changed often...enough. When I went to cancel, I was hit with a "policy" that you have to cancel on or before the 25th of a month or they will charge you for another month. I reached out on the 26th, 5 days before the next charge cycle. Seemed like plenty. Complained, go zero response. So basically I consider they robbed me of $110, because of course the cancellation policy is not visible..until you go to cancel. Hope it was worth the money, Movement. Cannot recommend.

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.

Reach another level of personal growth with a visit to The Peak of Fremont, the biggest indoor…read moreclimbing facility in the area. Remember those days in the playground and their climbing structures? Well, as an adult, The Peak is the place to reignite that hobby and enjoy the sport with a rich community of professionals and enthusiasts. This huge facility is shared among The Peak's climbing structures, an indoor volleyball court, a casual restaurant, and a small arcade. There aren't many parking spots up front but around the back of the building, you'll see plentiful spots. Once you enter the building, head to the left through the glass doors where you'll see the many climbing walls speckled with multiple colored protrusions. The pricing is transparent and it's all available upfront. They do have day passes, multi-visit passes as well as memberships that will waive your entrance fee. In addition to the entrance fee, you may also be required to pay for the harness and shoe rentals (members get a discounted price). They also have chalk for the more advanced climbers. If it's your first time, consider completing the waiver online ahead of time. You may be asked to go through a quick orientation regarding the use of their auto-belay system, however if you already know how to belay traditionally, they may ask you to go through additional training just to be sure. Each wall seemed to feature a variety of colors to distinguish the different difficulty levels for more advanced climbers. Aside from the walls, they also have a huge structure designed for bouldering with a thick padded floor underneath. The boulder and auto-belay walls seemed the most popular but it didn't seem there was much waiting given the ample space in the facility. There was certainly enough climbing space for everyone. As a novice, the activity was fun and tiring; there's definitely a balance between technique and strength! Despite having entry for the whole day, we definitely were tired out within an hour of constant climbing and by hour two, it was just about time to leave and refuel. Fortunately, the location of this space is quite convenient due to having a restaurant right on site as well as its proximity to the highway and other eateries just a few minutes away. The staff were friendly and informative. Besides the initial onboarding, there wasn't much interaction with them. They seem to keep things organized, cleaned and well-maintained. Overall, The Peak does a fantastic job introducing the sport of climbing to the local community and providing a clean and safe environment for newbies and experts alike. The price is reasonable for an all day activity and even more so if you become a member. For kids, they also have camps to build a new passion and train them up as climbers. For the more serious climbers, you may want to consider investing in the equipment to further save on the rentals. If this is a new challenge for you, take the opportunity to get in on this sport! The Peak makes it relatively easy to pick this up and continue leveling up with each visit!

It's a huge venue with lots of parking, it's multifunctional for climbing, gym workouts, and yoga classes. You check in through a self service kiosk, sign a waiver, and check in with the staff for set up. You get shoes to use and a small chalk bag. Their shoes run a half size larger. Once checked in, you can find walls to climb! It's a fun, physically challenging experience. You may be afraid to fall but trust in the padding and confident in the proper way to fall. Good experience with numb fingers and sore wrists!

This gym offers bouldering only, no rope climbing which is fine with me. It's huge and beautiful. Great fitness area. Staff is kind and always helpful. Ben the gym director is amazing and on top of everything. I love the variety of fitness/yoga classes they have. You can try the gym with a 14 day trial for cheap! This gym also has lots of extra little amenities to make sure you are fully supported in your climbing journey. Right now they have a fun free climbing comp going on to celebrate their 1 yr anniversary. The community is SUPER kind and inclusive. You will find wonderful climbing friends here! My only points of feedback is that this gym runs cold - even in 60 degree weather they have the AC on but if I ask them to adjust it, they will help me out. And also I really wish this gym had a sauna. That would make it 100% for me. Lastly we can use more handles on the walls so folks can down climb easier!

There's regular classes for getting certified in your belaying skills, and the instructors are legit passionate about their work. Try to go at a less busy time, but honestly the hours are restricted so you'd be hard-pressed to find a truly empty gym. The best time to go is right when they open and you can try to get to the routes you want. Ideal to have your own shoes- apart from the grossness of using rented shoes, you don't have to splurge to get a great pair off of amazon.
