    Climbing routes with multiple difficulty levels based on colors and V grading scale.
    Grace Z.

    The gym previously known as Oso Climbing Gyms had a name change and is undergoing ownership changes, but the quality and community is still 5 stars. I'm a regular here and love the LGBTQ+ friendly vibes of this gym. I've seen so many new folks come to climb, workout, and/or take classes and enjoy events. I highly recommend trying a day pass to see if this gym is a good fit for you.

    Fantastic climbing gym! I go to Austin Bouldering Project (both locations) and this Dallas location is definitely on the swankier side. The co-working space has ample outlets and overlooks the climbing. Even the couches have USB ports. Showers and locker rooms are super clean and modern. Routes are plentiful. Love that having a BP membership grants me access to multiple gyms!

    Spacious climbing gym with a full gym, sauna, showers, and yoga. Came here with a couple of my friends who used their guest pass, and had a great workout. There's a variety of walls for all levels, including beginners such as myself. They have benches around the perimeter and have bandaids available as well. When you first go to the gym, you'll have to sign the online waiver and go through a short live orientation. They did provide climbing shoes as part of the guest pass. The second level has the yoga studio, a study area, and even a bar. The bathrooms/locker rooms are behind the front desk area, and there are shelves if you prefer placing your items there, and not have to fiddle around with creating your own code. Overall, the space felt very new and clean, and you could definitely try a lot of various paths during your visit here.

    Great experience. Walked in on a Sunday for the first time. Very friendly staff and very accommodating for my kids. Will definitely recommend and be back!

    OMG!!! CAN YOU SAY OMG!!! Love that this location is right next to my work, UTSW. I would definitely joined if this was opened before I joined Equinox. I came here with a day pass purchased. Rock Wall 5/5 - different colors/levels, walls are all spread out and I saw in the back there is a wall where you follow the lights while climbing. Front Desk 5/5 - everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. Bathroom 5/5 - the sauna is in there, bathroom, showers, lockers and products for you that may need Yoga 5/5 - OMG this space is so nice. definitely a good room to get a workout in Gym 4/5 - i want to give this a 5/5... its awesome, just wish it was bigger =) there is a selection of weights, cables, barbells, resistance and many more! This is by far the best climbing gym I've been to and seen. Thanks OSO!

    Oso has something for every skill set and nearly every fitness interest! It's also relatively new with tons of perks, friendly staff / community, & the CLEANEST bathrooms I've ever seen in a fitness facility.. When you walk in, you'd be amazed at how cool this facility is - color-coded grips, crimps, etc. line the walls dictating the difficulty of the climb. Walk to your left and you'll see a full-fledged gym. In the middle - CLEAN restrooms and a sauna! Upstairs - treadmills, a little bar & study area! $$$: it's a little pricey for a monthly fee that roughly hits near the $100 mark; HOWEVER, there are TONS of perks of this gym, from a sauna to shoe rentals (even though they aren't great) and to even classes! Although, I believe you do need to pay for additional classes / "fitness+." Location: it's in a decent location for those near inner-city Dallas & surrounding areas (design district). I do wish, however, that they opened up a location near Fort Worth! Check it out! They allow one free visit for first-timers.

    Very welcoming community. More than just indoor rock climbing there's a yoga center, a sauna, weight area, cardio space. There's ongoing events as well that could be really fun.

    Campus board and nice overhang

    I was so excited when this climbing gym finally opened. I had followed their progress during the build and couldn't wait for a gym near Oak Cliff! I even went their opening morning - my first climb since COVID lockdown. I have even been several times since with day passes because I really did want to like Oso, truly. However, it feels more like a fitness gym that happens to have an adjacent bouldering facility. It leaves me wanting more and that's what I had expected. It's beautiful and well thought out in design, but it feels to me that it's lacking soul and that they cater to a different crowd than climbers. The route setting seems to have some gaps between grades but I do know that they reset often which is nice. They have a kilter board at different verts every day. No corners were cut in the making of this place. I know it appeals to others tastes, just not mine, and that's okay. I wish them continued success. They are very clean and have a lot of amenities that people look for in fitness facilities and then some, which may be why passes and memberships are so expensive. They offer a wide array of fitness classes, yoga classes, have a cardio area, a weight training space, and saunas all in a convenient location in the design district. I'll probably pop in from time to time just to mix things up.

    Gotta climb with masks

    Update (6/5/2020): The weight room is now open and it's awesome! Aside from the typical machines and free weights, there is a huge section with turf, which allows for exercises like the sled push. The turf also has a dedicated section dedicated for battle rope exercises- which is awesome! The staff here also constantly change up the routes on the walls, probably all the routes on a certain wall will be refreshed every 2-3 weeks. That's way more often than Summit changes their routes! The only thing I wish this gym had was a scale lol Original review: I will definitely update this review as COVID-19 rules become more lax and more facilities in this gym open up. For now though, I've gotta give OSO a 5 star review. Dallas badly needed a dedicated bouldering gym (instead of top rope), and this place is fantastic! The facility is large and clean, and the walls look like plywood, but in fact are made from texture grained polymer. The route difficulties seem to be paralleled with the bouldering routes at Summit Climbing. After 2 months of quarantine, I feel like I'm starting from day one again, with no callouses on my hands. Climbing with masks is certainly also a bit tough, but I'm glad to see the gym obey the law. Looking forward to coming back and updating this revue

    I visited for global climbing day since the gym was offering free day passes. This was my first time climbing since Covid-19, and my, did it feel AMAZING. I had to start with the easy routes to get back into it, and I've definitely lost some finger grip strength, but I was so thrilled to be back on those walls! Make sure to bring your own chalk (the website says liquid is preferred, but I saw many people with chalk). Shoe rental is included with a day pass. There are lockers available in the restrooms to store your belongings. I also had the opportunity to take a yoga class. I was on the waitlist, but some people no-showed, so I was able to take their place. The class is limited to 12 people, and there are tape markings on the floor spaced 6 feet apart. You will need to bring your own mat. I had an amazing time with Virginia, and I felt so refreshed afterwards. There is also a full set of cardio equipment and a weight room with lots of workout equipment/machines! I am definitely getting a membership here and will be back soon! :)

    This gym is absolutely amazing! By far one of the nicest facilities I've ever been in. The climbing area is massive with just about every climbing option available. The fitness, cardio, and yoga areas are clean and beautifully organized. The staff at Oso is one of the friendliest and most helpful I've ever met. The value you receive for your membership rate is unbelievable. I can't recommend this place enough!

    Great ambiance, good walls. Treadmills are not their thing. Great facility to spend the day and study.

    Staff are nice, gym is cool. Except for the no shirt policy... I feel more comfortable and free climbing with out a shirt. Lame.

    How does the guest pass work? I checked the website and it doesn't explain. Is it a one time pass or can it be used more than once?

I was referred to Andy Ferguson, and he has been laser focused on getting me to my goals. He's knowledgeable and precise in his approach, and has a wholistic perspective that has been very effective. Trophy is also a very good gym, this location is just the right size, is clean, and has good equipment. The staff are friendly and professional - Greyson, john, Gina, and the entire staff is friendly and warm. When I need help they are responsive. I've been to many gyms/trainers, from Los Angeles Equinox, to San Antonio Golds Gym, and Houston 24 hour fitness, but Trophy has really honed in on what makes a gym great and has fair pricing. Plus, parking is convenient and free.

    I stumbled upon this gym when I first moved to Dallas and it was the best find imaginable. First…read moreoff the staff is incredible here. From day 1 every single person on staff was welcoming and personable. One thing that was abnormal about this gym was the community within the gym. I moved to Dallas knowing no one and found this to be a very social gym. Majority of my friends came from meeting other members and trainers. The classes are motivating, the free recovery sessions are a game changer, the trainers are SUPER knowledgeable, and the amenities of a hot tub, sauna, and steam room are the cherry on top. If you are looking for a gym, look no further. Joining Trophy way the best decision I made next to moving to Dallas.

    The equipment is old. The ceiling is low…read more It feels like a big hotel gym. The Staff looks depressed. Don't drop the equipment or use Super heavy weights because one of the Staff members will ask you to not disturb the spa next-door. The music sounds depressing and it's played through an intercom system. But it's the only full gym on the side of town. It closes a little too early. You are sharing with Hotel guest. That may not know what they're doing. So I only maybe recommend it. The few positives include: You can probably find the equipment you're looking for. It's not overly crowded, unless there's a convention of annoying people in town like yesterday. They keep it clean. Generally, I feel it's overpriced for the value. But again, it's the only one on the side of town So get a tour and figure out if it's for you.

It took me about a month to get enough response back from the manager to join. Once I joined I emailed several logistical follow up questions and have never received a response. As far as I know there is no email newsletter or online schedules. I went to one class so far and there was no one attending, I arrived right at the class time and the teacher was packing up because no one was there. Like I said, from an equipment standpoint, there is everything you need, it is not the top of the line, but everything seems pretty well-maintained and in working order. Access to the hotel pools is also a plus. But it does not feel friendly at all, you are kind of left alone to figure things out. I came from very communal gym membership environments so it is quite a change.
