- Waiver always required at climbing gyms — sign it online before you go to skip the front-desk line
- First timer? bouldering needs zero experience — rent shoes and walk in; staff will point you at the easiest problems
- Yoga & fitness mentioned alongside the climbing — ask about the class schedule and what a pass includes
- Memberships available — worth asking about if you'd climb more than a few times a month

From the reviews
Nice staff. You do have to pay for parking. I take lessons from Calvin and he is top notch! He is very patient and a good listener. Best instructor in Iowa City as well as any in Cedar Rapids. I am not a member here but have played here for a USTA Match.
I like this place. It is a bit pricey at $10 for anyone not associated with the UofI (even kids), but the facility is in great condition and kept clean. I took a handful of kids there to play some soccer, and they had a good time.
If you're looking for an excellent gym, look no further than the University of Iowa collection of fitness centers throughout Iowa City. The main fitness center downtown is exceptional. The Hawkeye Tennis and Recreation center has a great selection of cardio and strength training options.
Awesome place to come to. The South Asian community plays football and cricket here. Free for all Hawkeyes.
