    Boulder climbing requires no ropes.  Thick mats provide as safe cushions to drop and fall.
    Sally Y.

    Sometimes it helps to do things that require strength and concentration to get your mind off distracting thoughts. If you agree, you might want to challenge yourself by climbing boulders and improve your grip strength! Dogpatch Boulders has varying degrees of boulders and people here are quite respectful to each other's space. It's also pretty clean, which is a great plus! There are also some weights and treadmills available for workouts.

    What can I say, I have a love affair with dogpatch boulders. Awesome bouldering (bouldering only) spot isn't he Bay Area. I try to go to a touchstone location if I'm traveling, they just always have good community everytime I visit one. Staff is friendly at this location and it's always clean. Climbers here are down to earth and don't hog the wall. Some will even give you tips if they see you struggling. Supplies such as first aid, lotion even pads/tampons in the women's restroom are available. Parking is tricky, there is street parking available just be prepared to walk a block or two. I like this gym better than mission cliffs for bouldering. Monthly specials: free entry if you go in with a member of first Friday's. Membership is $90 a month or $29 day pass with a member. They tend to have other deals such as zero initiation fees from time to time. Come in and ask !

    First time going here on a Wednesday morning around 730am. It was not busy at all and I was able to climb anything I wanted! I paid $30 for a day pass, shoes, and chalk. The front desk person said to avoid afternoons because it is super busy there, so mornings are much more preferred. The boulders are color coded, so you can figure out which level you're at and which boulders to climb on. They have a large space, so you'll have lots of opportunities to try different ways of climbing. I maxed out on V2. Anything above that was too hard for me! They also have a gym there, but it's a bit basic. No machines, just a squat rack and free weights. No cardio machines. Would come back!

    Such a big, clean, and welcoming climbing gym! There is a yoga studio, and part where you can lift weights as well. There is a competitive climbing wall and a wide range for beginners to advanced. This was my very first bouldering experience and I drive one hour just to come because of the nice staff and wide variety of routes.

    Came to climb for the first time ever! This place has plenty of climbs and lots of space for people. There's even a little lifting gym in the back! As a power lifter, definitely new found respect for these climbers cus my hands are raw, tender, and calluses all ripped :)

    My friends and I came here to try rock climbing for the first time. We bought a day pass and it was $30 per person. They have V# on the wall indicating levels from beginner to intermediate. The matts were very soft to fall on. They also have a gym so you can take a break and start exercising. Locker rooms are available and they have pads, tampons, band aids , lotion , hand sanitizer etc. The place was very clean and friendly staff

    So many corners to explore

    Upon visiting Dogpatch Boulders for the first time, I noticed that it was very busy on a Thursday night. Despite the crowd, Dogpatch Boulders is a great place to climb. It is a large gym with many levels. There are also varied equipment so you can work out. Be prepared to wait for others to finish their chance at walls after a work day and come a little earlier to find a parking spot if driving here. I am a new member of Touchstone Climbing. Although I prefer ropes, I know I will come here to boulder more often than not. I came in for an introduction to bouldering class and I think it was helpful. You should just take the class even if you think it is not necessary. Staff were also helpful. Overall, 10/10!

    Empty gym at 9am

    Best bouldering gym ever!! It deserves all the stars and more. The setting is actually so good and creative. I never run out of problems, and there will always be a challenge. It does get crowded after work and on weekend mornings/afternoons, so just be aware of that. On top of the main climbing area, there is a gym with 5 racks, an adjustable Kilter board, 3 spray walls, a campus board, many hang boards, and a fitness area upstairs. Everything one needs to get super strong!

A standout for me is Vince's Wednesday boxing bootcamp class. He's charismatic, fun, and will have you sweating, feeling strong, and totally badass. Bonus: he's easy on the eyes ;-) The yoga studio is very serene, with plenty of classes throughout the week. There's also a private massage room with a HydroMassage bed and a Hyperice station with all the tools, plus a giant screen showing calming nature scenes, perfect for recovery. The locker rooms and showers are spotless, stocked with E.O. body products, and... bidets on all the toilets! It's great bang for your buck, and I couldn't be happier here.

The space just feels light, open, and really welcoming. It never feels intimidating or crowded, feels spacious. The energy is good I also started training with Carlos (Palacios) because I honestly didn't really know what I was doing in the gym and would get self conscious Best decision to get a trainer tho. Carlos has helped me build both my confidence and my strength! I look forward to going to the gym He pushes me in the best way but still makes it feel approachable and doable. There seems to be a nice community in this location as well. All the trainers greet you with a smile and it genuinely feels friendly. Chad always has that nice smile and greet the second you walk in That kind of vibe makes such a difference, especially if you're someone who can feel a little shy at the gym like me lol.

No matter what I…read moretried--personal training at another gym, biking to commute--I just couldn't lose the last stubborn 10 lbs. Enter Greg Howard. Jonathan (the manager) recommended him since I was looking for real results, and quickly. I'm extremely busy, so any time I spend at the gym has to count. I bought a 24-session package and trained with Greg twice a week for three months. Today I finished my last session. The results speak for themselves: I lost all 10 lbs I'd been stuck with, gained 1 lb of muscle, and lost 12.4 lbs of body fat--about a pound of fat per week. My body fat dropped from 26.1% to 19.3%. Greg is incredibly knowledgeable, disciplined, and has the perfect formula for motivating you. He pushes you just enough so you work harder each time and walk away feeling proud of what you accomplished. He's honestly the BEST coach you could ask for. By the end of our training, he made sure I had solid technique and two routines I can follow on my own. I've never been a "gym person," but now I feel confident and excited to keep working out regularly. I've also worked with Olivia for massages, and she is absolutely wonderful. She really listens, works out all my knots, and her warm personality makes every session a joy. Her work perfectly complements the workouts. Kenton and Jonathan have also been awesome--they truly go above and beyond to understand your needs and make thoughtful recommendations. This is an incredibly friendly, supportive gym. I can't recommend it enough!

    Let me count the ways how much I miss and love Equinox…read more Yes, I know--it's a high-end gym. But you truly get what you pay for. I was a member of this location for over a decade, and since moving to Charlotte, North Carolina, I can honestly say there is nothing quite like it. The nearest one to me now is in Atlanta, and I still miss the San Mateo club regularly. This location has everything you could possibly want in a fitness facility--and then some. The Fitness Floor Downstairs is a beautifully air-conditioned workout space designed for people who are serious about exercising. No distractions, no crowds hovering by the windows--just a clean, focused environment. You'll find: * Full weight training equipment * Recumbent bikes, ellipticals, and treadmills * Dedicated spin, Pilates, TRX, and group fitness studios * A large open stretching area with foam rollers * Cold, filtered water stations throughout * Staff available for spotting if you're training solo It's efficient, professional, and thoughtfully designed. Locker Rooms & Amenities The locker rooms feel more like a boutique hotel than a gym. They are consistently spotless and fully stocked with: * Plush towel service * Spacious showers with teak benches * Steam rooms infused with eucalyptus * Complimentary razors, Q-tips, and personal care items * Premium Kiehl's products It's luxurious, yes--but also incredibly practical. You can comfortably get ready for work, dinner, or travel without feeling rushed. The Rooftop Pool One of the standout features is the heated rooftop pool. It has multiple lap lanes, cabanas, and water aerobics equipment, and it truly feels like a mini country club in the middle of downtown San Mateo. The pool is heated year-round, which means you can swim in any season--something you quickly get spoiled by. They even provide sunscreen from Supergoop!, along with full towel service. It's those little details that make the experience feel elevated. Classes, Spa & Services The class offerings are extensive and easy to manage through the app. Signing in is seamless--just scan your phone and go. Highlights include: * Yoga in a beautiful bamboo studio with HEPA filtration and ceiling fans * Pilates (available as private, duo, or small-group sessions) * A full-service spa on the upper level * A juice bar and retail shop featuring premium fitness apparel Everything feels intentional, polished, and well-maintained. Location & Convenience The club is located right in the heart of downtown San Mateo, making it incredibly walkable. There are restaurants, grocery stores, and cafés nearby, including one of my favorite bakeries and specialty markets. Parking is also surprisingly easy for a downtown location: * Two-hour validation * Surface lot, garage, and rooftop parking options That convenience makes a big difference in daily use. Value & Membership Yes, membership can be expensive. However, many employers offer corporate discounts, which can make the cost more manageable. In my case, the value absolutely justified the price because I used the facility regularly and took advantage of the amenities. Even when I relocated, canceling my membership was straightforward and professional--no pressure, no hassle. Bottom Line Equinox San Mateo set the standard for what a fitness club should be: clean, thoughtfully designed, service-oriented, and genuinely enjoyable to use. If I ever move to another city with an Equinox, I will join again without hesitation. Because at the end of the day-- life is short, and you should live well.
