Radest woody on the block. I've been to my share of gyms around the country and this one is up there on my top list. It's got some great features from yoga room, fitness center, bathroom and shower facilities, sick music, fun vibes, and the best part, endless possibilities of bouldering!

★★★★★ — Payton, Feb 2018

Nice place if you are into climbing. I asked their staff about prices and I mention it was our first time there. They didn't mention anything about kids area, showers, weights, nothing. They just told me the cost for adult was $16 dls and $12 for kids, for the day pass and 4 dollars to rent the shoes.
