Each month, they do provide discounts on certain programmes for anyone who is interested in climbing. I like to climb with Hubs on the weekends, especially on a Saturday morning when there are a few climbers. But my favorite time to climb is during the weekday mornings or afternoons when this place can just be called "my own sanctuary". During the weekdays especially from 5 pm onwards this place can be jam-packed with climbers alike. Each month and every other month, they do change the routes for climbers to progress in their climbing with different range of climbing difficulties. There is also a place for you to do bouldering as well if you dont have a climbing partner to belay. Even my cousin from Singapore who came for a visit sometime around July/August 2009 was awed about this place. If you want, do give them a try to climb. Call them for enquiries or you can visit their website for details : http://www.rocknandjamn.com/ For those who are new into climbing, they do provide introductory classes with a minimal fee that provides the time you climb, the instructor fee, and rental fee of the equipment. If you want you also can contact, the climbers from meetup.com, who climb regularly be it here or the location in Centennial, CO. Thank you Rock'n & Jam'n for making me loving you at the first sight, and now call Colorado home to climb indoors....

Super friendly helpful staff and a very clean and laid back facility. I was a previously a…read moreChuzeFitness member and while I liked their gym (it did have a pool and Hyland does not), it became overly busy and you often have to wait now to get on the cardio equipment you want to use and you have to make a reservation just to go work out period. Also, due to the current situation only one person was allowed in the pool so it pretty much made it pointless. What I also like about Hyland Fit are their HUUUUGE accessible fitness rooms (3 plus the main 2 gyms) with tons of equipment, massive locker rooms with couches and actual sitting areas vs. a bleacher. Also, there's steam rooms and a dry sauna, all kinds of fitness classes included. This is definitely a much higher end gym without the huge cost!

I've been a member of about six different gyms now, both private and commercial. This gym is by far…read morethe best for a number of reasons. Idk how the old management was, but this gym is always clean and organized. I rarely, if ever, have to wait for equipment at any point in the day, and this is the same for the 5-7pm "rush." This gym has the largest variety of equipment I've seen and plenty of it. And to top it off, it's very reasonably priced, no annual fees or 12-month long agreements like most gyms. I love this gym. I'm so thankful to be a member here.

The Spot is great. The location in Boulder is the original, i.e. oldest, location and it shows but…read moreit's still great. Unlike BRC, The Spot Boulder is bouldering-specific. Other Spot locations have rope climbing and auto-belays but this location does not. There's a gym area upstairs which is a little dingy but it has a rack, weights and overall super solid. Compared to BRC I found the crowd steered younger. Whether that's a positive or negative depends on the vibe you want. No complaints. I've had a membership for over a year and plan on continuing to have one.

Overall: Helpful staff from what I've experienced and a good variety of climbs. It's a meh on the…read morefacility. Vibe: Chill for the most part. A lot of serious climbers with a sprinkle of novices the times I've been. Space: Grungy. The air circulation in there is either very poor and/or the mats and place doesn't get deep cleaned enough. It smells like feet moreso than other gyms I've been to. The place is compact for the amount of climbs it has. Climbs: Nice variety of climbs that are fun and challenging. I like the natural wall in the back. Holds could be cleaner (i.e. some holds are so dirty you might mistake it for another color, feels extra greasy). The climbing tape markings are not well maintained (i.e. missing start tape so you're not sure what's considered the intended start).

BRC deserves more than the 3.5 average it has right now…read more I can't comment on hearsay about managers or "uninspired" climbs (I am not a route-setter nor do I claim to be one) but BRC is pretty solid. The gym area is really nice, far surpassing The Spot Boulder (the other climbing gym BRC is usually being compared too). And unlike Movement Boulder, BRC has auto-belays so you don't need a partner to rope climb. BRC also has a small lounge area where you could theoretically work from (free WIFI) and free coffee and tea for members every morning until 11am. The biggest downside to BRC I'd say is that it's really a rope-climbing gym. The bouldering area has a lot to be desired if comparing it to The Spot (which in BRC's defense is a bouldering-specific gym). And though there are auto-belays, there's only about 1/2 dozen (I think?) so unless you have a partner to climb with most the climbing is inaccessible to you. On a side note, I do find the crowd at BRC about 20'ish years older than that at The Spot too. I received a free week at BRC after taking one of their belay classes and thoroughly enjoyed my time.

There are three main climbing gyms in Boulder and this is undoubtedly the worst of them…read more First and foremost, they offer the worst product at almost the exact same price. While Movement and The Spot have several gyms within driving distance of each other, the BRC charges nearly the same price for their single location. That means that members here are paying for less product than they would receive at other gyms. Second, the management is bad. The general manger exudes a kind of psycho energy as he stares at climbers through the front desk window. Multiple BRC youth team members have said that the managers make them feel uncomfortable. This has been going on for years and as far as I know they have done nothing to address it. Finally, the climbs at this gym are uninspired. There are a couple talented route setters on their staff, but the majority are inexperienced kids with an inflated sense of importance. It's truly amazing that a company that only needs to set a few routes per week is somehow putting out worse climbs than their competitors with 3x-5x the amount of setting.

Canyon is a no frills, let's get real, let's get results kind of place. Just go!

This is a nice facility. It's sort of attached to the City Park Rec Center. Yeah, I know they…read moreseem like the same thing, but they are not. Fitness center side has a good size cardio and weights area. They also have one large dance/class room and another smaller one. This facility is for ages 15+. They have a child care room but this place is basically for grown ups. Next door, the rec center has a large gym for basketball and a large pool area and all of that is for people of all ages. Now that I've clarified about the boundaries, the reason I go to the fitness center is because I'm a hooper. I work out via 'hula hoops'. Now, ideally, I would love to use one of the dance/class rooms that are often vacant during the day, but regular folks are not permitted to use those unless you are taking a class. The large cardio/weight room has mirrors, but not enough empty space for me to hoop. Upstairs, in the hallway (it's a really big hallway) outside the classrooms and the child care there is plenty of space for me to hoop. Also, (and I checked first) I can do this for free because technically, I'm not going into the workout facility and it's a community building. They would get five stars if I could use those awesome rooms, but I can't, so they don't. I know this review will not be relevant for many but it is what it is.

They offer better classes than any of the other rec centers in the area, such as TRX, pilates, and a whole lot of yoga. The fitness center is big, new, and amazing. I really love to work out there.

I've actually ended up leaving after circling the parking lot for 30 minutes (no joke) and not finding a spot. They should definitely add more spaces.

The lakes provide a beautiful mirror reflection of Bear Peak and Green Mtn. It's quite stunning on a still day, even better for a sunrise or sunset. It's a very level path and paved around. A beautiful bridge compliments the scene. This is definitely a hidden gem in Boulder!

Almost seems like Boulder City thinks ignoring it will somehow solve the problem. Equally disappointing is the lack of south boulder community involvement in wanting the city to nourish this resource for the local community residents.
