From the reviews

This place is amazing! Best gym ever! Katrina at the front desk is a super model! Her hair is so silky and her tan is killer! Devon gives the best belay classes! Don’t listen to any of the negative reviews…all I can say at reading some of the negative reviews is yikes! These people are impossibly wrong!

★★★★★ — Casey, May 2024

My daughter said this place was her 3 most favorite Birthday parties. And it wasn't even her parties. So, I think we will be having her party in the very near future. ASLO this place is great for experienced climbers as well. Can you get to the top of this 55 foot cliffhanger?

★★★★★ — Kyle, Nov 2021

This place is awesome for adults and kids. You can pay by the day or you can do a monthly membership. They have walls up to 55 feet high. They have an aerobic workout room, they have a weightlifting room. They have yoga classes and a sauna. The only thing missing is something to eat and a smoothie bar.

★★★★★ — Jason, Feb 2018

First timer here and it was great. We took our kids who are 13 and 7 and they had a blast. It wasn’t busy at all, so they got to climb everything they wanted to. I was worried our 7 yr old girl wouldn’t be able to climb but they have a lot of options for the little ones in the kid zone. She didn’t have any issues.
