I love visiting the other gyms as well in upland and riverside. In over a decade of climbing here, I've met some wonderful friends and climbing buddies. Front desk staff has always been the kindest and most knowledgeable of any of the other gyms. I'm hoping today was an aberration, but I have never been treated so rudely. No empathy, just plain cold at the front desk. I will continue to support and recommend Hangar 18 to new and we experienced climbers, but hoping they ask the new front desk staff to treat guests with young kids better.

Each yoga instructor brings their own unique style and is incredibly friendly, down to earth, and committed to meeting students where they're at. I am particularly a fan of Megan and Rachel's classes, but I want to specifically speak to Megan's classes as I attended her regular Sunday morning session today. Today's Power class, and all of Megan's flows really, strike the perfect balance between being incredibly challenging, while still grounding and yin-flavored. I love that each Power flow is paced gradually so that your body and mind are fully warmed up to attempt peak poses near the middle to end of the flow. Her classes are never rushed and are always designed very intentionally for students of all levels. Megan's love for this practice is evident, not only through her teaching, but her warm spirit and kindness. She and Rachel are always willing to stay behind class whenever I have needed one on one guidance for a specific pose or just to chat. I genuinely look forward to Sunday mornings because I know Megan's flow will ground me for the remainder of my day!

Located in the east side of Riverside, Hangar 18 is situated in the industrial area. You'll have to drive towards the back, where there are rows of parking. As a gym member, I look for a variety of fun problems regardless of height and finding new projects that intrigue me. If you're a beginner or still learning new techniques, you'd definitely enjoy this gym. There were plenty of v0 - v3 problems here; my fiancé loved it because that's his grade level. On the day I went, there were hardly v4-v5 problems. Of course, they change the walls and rotate it often. I did like the upstairs area of a whole gym and having a warm up area. Super neat gym and friendly staff, too. I'd say, great Hangar 18 gym! I wouldn't mind coming back from time to time.

There's zero reason I should have to yell to someone (who's just standing underneath me) to watch out while I'm mid fall (about to hit them) because their instructor is actively distracting them from climbing safety. That's ridiculous and made us leave. We're paying customers too, if you want to teach a 30 minute class then wait for us to be done with that specific belay. It was disrespectful and we likely won't be back to this location. The day we get to abandon this money hungry franchise can't come too soon. They clearly don't pay their workers enough for them to care. It's been a recurring issue at all locations I've been to. Sigh.

Parking is not the best especially during peak hours; I find myself parking inside the residential areas just to come to gym. They have auto belay, a top out area, and a very large bouldering section. They don't have a super long slab wall, but they do have a wide variety of problems and types of boulder holds. As an avid v4 climber, I think the routes here a fairly easy for my grade, yet the problems are very fun in itself. The interior is very clean and the workers are diligently checking the gym, restocking, and cleaning restrooms. They have merchandise for purchase, too. On very busy days, the students from the colleges are here to climb. I'd avoid climbing in weekdays after 3 PM if you want more time on the wall without competition. Other than that, it is a nice gym with nice workers.

Walked in after work to do some bouldering while traffic simmered down, and to sus things out for my fiance who also climbs. Small but looked like people were having fun! I was met with SO much hostility from the front desk, thought I was hallucinating. Did their waivers and training video as expected, worker had left us to our own devices entirely. Huge line at the front, I'd been there at least 45 minutes at that point. Then I saw this adorable microscopic font sign, super endearing You could have just told me you don't take walk-ins, instead of being brazenly rude. When clearly that policy isn't even enforced. Other patrons who also walked in didn't receive quite as much vitriol. I was told I'd have to test out, no biggie, but nobody else was told this. Nobody else was asked "do you climb?" with a whole lot of attitude. Yeah I climb, and I enjoy walking in here looking like a corporate loser about as much as you enjoy seeing it. Just wanted to change into jeans and a t-shirt and boulder a bit. Might go to some other hangar 18 location someday, but won't be enthused about it. Not a lot of options around. Saw the sign and left because they hadn't asked me to pay yet, and I'm not paying for that attitude. I can only assume she was giving me attitude because I walked in looking all corporate, which is ironic to me because this is the most corporate looking rock gym I've ever seen. Y'all can keep it.

It was almost 20degrees cooler up here. I needed a sweater for the day especially while climbing in the shade. There is a good mix of trad,sport and bouldering. This place is known for its sport routes but trying to navigate the mt project app to find routes I ran across tons of trad routes. Left the trad gear at home n was bummed I did. The approach to climbs was super easy 10-15 minutes hiking through well marked and nicely groomed trail. I look forward to carrying both my trad and sport gear up here for a fun filled day of climbing. I love short approaches and there are numerous grades to keep every type of climber happy.

I'd only rate it higher if it were 24hrs so I could go at 2am but I understand that that is unreasonable on my part due to funding and student employees'schedules. POSITIVES It's close, if you live in the area, since there's no other decent gym that can compare. The attendants are friendly.. Not expensive if you're not affiliated. People are cooperative if you ask for a spot. Good place to find a workout partner if your looking for one. Great activities at reasonable prices. NEGS My only beef with the gym set up is that all the bench presses need to be pulled away from the windows bcs it's impossible to replace or remove the 45lbs plates w/o struggling. Some attendants should stay on the floor supervising in order to ensure that all weights are returned and workout stations are broken down. Sometimes there are people that have absolutely NO clue what they are doing so some should ask for some initial workout instruction assistance w/o feeling embarrassed. But really, these are minor gigs bcs I keep high standards when it comes to gym etiquete.

I was half way up a white tag that I did as an easy warm up being an experienced climber. These climbers were testing out the start of a climb mind you not even climbing yet and she decided to yell at me for no reason. When I hopped off the wall I apologized to the climbers and let them know it was entirely accidental as is typical when these sorts of things happen. They were in no way bothered by me which they articulated to me after I apologized. But yet she STILL continued to yell at me and berate me instead of listening to the interaction. Mind you no one was in any danger whatsoever... Clearly she was having a bad day and decided to take it out on me... but unfortunately this interaction ruined my entire climbing experience I understand the rules as I've been here before numerous times but what's not okay and IS dangerous is yelling at someone when they're already on the wall She was white, with orange hair, a bandana, an orange hangar18 shirt on 8/18 in the evening. I believe she needs to go through extensive training so she doesn't take her feelings out on people visiting this location.

Overall, it was a fun, spontaneous activity for a random free day--kind of like bowling, but more physical and engaging. Definitely requires some strength and problem-solving.

Well, the 30 min class turned out to be only a 5 min introduction to the rules of the rock climbing place and the only technique taught was how to fall.

I have just pulled up the class description (see pic). Had I seen this while we were there, I would've spoken to a manager about this. This is not right at all. The instructor only spent 5 min with our kids. There was only so much the girls could do on their own with that inadequate 5 minute "lesson". It could have been a fun playdate if they were given more instructions so they could've done more than climbing up 3-4 steps on just the 2 easy routes. 1 star and not likely to return.
