We did family…read morewaivers ahead of time and my wife had to do hers separate because she couldn't be added to family waiver because only one person over 18 on it. That caused a bit of confusion but we worked it out. But the cost for our family of five wasn't bad at all. We have a 5 yr, 9yr and 11yr old and had a blast! There were about five or six climbs that they all could do attached to the rope so they could belay down. Then there were some free fall climb areas that they also thought was fun. Then when my oldest was done climbing, we played some ping pong and he played the piano that they have there. So we easily spent a couple of hours there and will definitely be back! They also have an enclosed kids area for parties that looked cute. Highly recommend for some safe family fun!

It's a very fun way to get in shape and meet people. The gym is clean and safe. I'd definitely…read morerecommend going? PLUS: there is a cool food truck area attached to the parking lot so you can go eat or get a coffee then get back to climbing.

Austin bolder project is all around a great gym…read more They have so much to offer, classes, a full gym, climbing, sauna & cold plunge, all for a great price per month. I personally take the circuit classes 3-4 times a week and I would highly recommend them. The instructors are very knowledgeable, the programming is great, they do a proper warm up and cool down and they really make sure you understand the moves and know what you are doing. The staff are very nice, I just feel like it's a really great gym.

Getting gently called by Bryan for signing up for a class but not attending last week (got off work…read morelate that day :c ) was a good kick in the butt to be more consistent. He's a great instructor and I really enjoy his classes: he gives all student feedback on the form and suggests corrections. Also overall, the monthly membership fee completely worth it if you take advantage of all the amenities. Just taking two fitness or yoga classes a week during the month makes it worth every dollar. Then add using the gym, cold plunge, sauna, and of course climbing.

This has become one of our favorite spots to bring the kids and let them burn off their energy…read more Check in is easy and you can rent shoes at the front desk for them. You really just need to bring yourself, some water, and enough energy to climb. They have two areas designated for children- just know if it's a day where they are hosting a camp the larger climbing room in the back is not open to you. No big deal, the front area is still fun just not as much "play" area. We love coming here, they do also sell snacks- including popsicles! We might get a membership- it's just hard predicting how often we will come.

The kids had their own dedicated rock wall, and even with 15 kids plus parents, the space worked perfectly. The staff were helpful and accommodating, and our party helper, Gabe, was fantastic--he kept the momentum going with games, helped organize the kids, and made sure everything ran smoothly. I had wondered if one room would be enough to keep the kids entertained for the full two hours, but it absolutely was--they never stopped climbing and loved every minute. This turned out to be such an easy, unique, and memorable party choice--especially for our rock-loving 6-year-old. Highly recommend!

We got a day pass for $28 each and since it was our first time we got free rental shoes. I didn't have time to check out the sauna, but it is included in the pass and I peaked inside and it was very nice. They also have a full gym and classes that are all included in your pass! We only spent 30 minutes there then went next door for food and coffee, but I went back after and some people were there for hours! I think the enjoyment level here depends on what you want to experience.

I love this place. For the past almost-year me and my girlfriend have been buying punchcards and…read morecoming to boulder here every so often. At the beginning of the school year we came every Saturday, but as schools gotten busier we havent been coming so frequently. It is the most affordable bouldering place ive ever been, they provide bandaids when you get scraped, have very attentive service, inclusive staff and events, and very kindly use sustainable paper towels at the handwashing station with high-quality lotion available after. They always provide chalk and shoes and I think the routes are super fun and also inclusive! I also like having the opportunity to use the other gym amenities with the daytime pass, and it is all kept very clean. One time I came in with a sprained ankle and used two punches because I thought my ankle wouldnt get in the way too much, but after a few minutes I realized it would and I didnt want to stay. They refunded my punches so now I have them for another time! I love this place and have brought almost everyone I know here with me. I would definitely recommend it.

For me the answer to this quandary is rock climbing as it is an affordable way to stay in tip-top shape and each experience you have when climbing is unique. Moreover, rock climbing provides a full-body work-out. It helps to build lean muscle mass across the entire body, including forearms, biceps, shoulders, back, core, glutes, quads, hamstrings, and calves. The Mesa Rim Austin affords those who are seeking it an opportunity to get in shape, challenge themselves mentally and physically and get customized lessons for those who are just starting out. What's more is that this location also has general work-out equipment like ellipticals, stationary bicycles, free weights and treadmills. For the price of a monthly membership of $25.00, you can climb and have access to rock walls and gear as well as work out equipment and a dry sauna (that's a steal). The staff here is helpful and offers training for those new to rock climbing and provides guidance when you get 'stuck' and/or are unsure of how to maneuver. The facility is always clean and uncluttered with debris and has plenty of room for large groups of people so you won't feel claustrophobic when here. In coming here, I have also gained a new community as this location has a tight-knit community, making it easy to meet new people, find climbing partners, and form new friendships. If you can swing it and add rock climbing to at least 2 days per week to your health regimen, you won't regret it. #bewellcentraltexas

We've visited here a couple of times to use their bouldering space and have really enjoyed our…read moretime. I will say that the front desk staff usually seems very busy, and compared to another climbing gym we frequent, we didn't feel super welcome (might have been because we came with a Groupon?). On our first visit, I had to ask where everything was -- there was no orientation or offer to show us around. I noticed that others were getting orientations, so this might be hit or miss. The bouldering space itself is quite spacious and has lots of different levels of challenge suitable for both kids and adults. There was lots of padding, and I really like the central "rock" island where you can actually climb on top of it. I would say I feel a little intimidated to visit for more than the bouldering, given the fact that the staff doesn't seem overly welcoming and friendly.

I was genuinely excited to try this gym and see what their classes were like--but then I heard…read moretheir "trial" policy: a paid day pass before committing to a monthly membership. Honestly, that's bad business practice. You're basically asking people to pay $30 upfront, risking them deciding not to stay--and potentially losing out on a full monthly membership. It's a tiny fee for them, but it's a huge turn-off for anyone genuinely interested. If a business can't trust people enough to offer a real trial experience, I'm not willing to hand over my money. There are plenty of gyms that actually want to earn your membership, not scare it away. No thanks.

We hosted a birthday party here, and my son and I came to climb a couple times before the party…read more Based on experience with another local climbing gym (primarily bouldering spaces -- had not really dived into harnessed/belayed climbs before), this gym looked intimidating at first, but really cool. I like that there is an on-site coffee shop and food truck, and plenty of outdoor space to relax, in addition to additional gym spaces upstairs and downstairs. The front desk staff always seems very helpful -- if you're new to the gym, they'll happily give you a tour, and the introduction to climbing with a harness was very helpful. The gym has a variety of self-belay climbs that you can do, which is what we've stuck to so far. I do find the animal-themed ratings a little difficult to understand. Also, I would say most of the climbs--even the "sloth" rated ones--are a little more challenging that I'm used to (both for belay and bouldering). For our birthday party, they actually reserved the entire kids' room just for our party, which I thought was a fantastic deal. The kids' room is definitely not just for beginners, either. They patiently gave the group a lesson, and we had a dedicated guide for our entire party (he even gave latecomers their own lessons). The kids got to try pretty much all of the climbs, which took most of the 2 hours, before they got tired of the room and wanted to venture into the larger gym space. We were able to bring our own decorations, food, and beverages, and they supplied all the plates, forks, and tablecloths. Memberships and single day passes are a little on the pricey side, so I'm not sure how often we'll come back, but it is a really nice space, and I'm happy to have it available in our community.

I'm limited to your autobelay routes and bouldering routes. Fail. A "members only" piece of workout equipment in my face on the first floor? Not ideal. Move this stuff somewhere else. It does not give a welcoming feeling. Only ONE staff person working in the entire gym? If there was a second worker then we didn't notice it because they aren't in any kind of uniform. You're wasting a lot of your wall space. You have a bouldering area beneath plenty of wall that has no holds on it. It just looks like someone's a bit lazy in here. Where are your route setters? What's good: There are a lot of autobelay climbs. There are some fun boulder problems. The price is $20 per day (when you bring your own gear) which is reasonable compared with other gyms. The foosball and couches are a nice touch. Its fun to take photos from above the climbs.
