The studio is pretty small and intimate but the sound system was great and I could hear the instructor Cameron perfectly. Bikes are the Schwinn AC performance with carbon blue. The cold towels at the end right outside the studio are lovely and each bike has a towel too. Parking is nearby metered parking. It's relatively inexpensive for parking in Santa Monica. The showers onsite are divine too!

I got an incredible workout and meet some really awesome people in the process, including the owner, who was super friendly!!

The Service: Christine was helping me to check-in at the front desk. Super friendly & helpful! She…read moreshowed me the sitting chart on her computer so I could choose my bike. Then she gave me a very detailed information about their studio. There is a seating area on the first floor so I could change to my spin shoes (complimentary rental). There is a water machine to refill your water bottle (free). In case you forget your water, there are water for purchase as well. The classroom is on the second floor. There are plenty of storage cabinets to store personal belongings. The Class: Our instructor was Sara. She is such a sweetheart. She knew it was my first class, she personally adjusted my bike to my height for me. Showed me how to use the bike (especially how to lock my spin shoes to the pedals). OMG! Her energy is up to the roof! She did the whole routine with us PLUS giving us instructions & motivating us at the same time! She is amazing!! I love the "vibe" in the classroom. It is slightly dark with great music. I felt like working out in the club! Sara's playlist is awesome~ The Parking: I found the street parking (free) right in front of the studio. I think they have a small parking lot behind the studio as well.

Came here from ClassPass and enjoyed the workout…read more When you arrive, you check in at the front desk downstairs. Parking is easy in the lot behind the studio. Downstairs they give you spin shoes too. One of the workers was very nice and escorted me upstairs to see if I was comfortable with where I was placed in the class. I asked for a seat change and they were more than accommodating. The class itself was pretty good. Definitely built up a sweat. It's all cycle based with no weights. Good energy! RANDOM BONUS: Trader Joe's is right next door if you want to pick up a reward treat. I know I did :)

Relative to 2 other touchstone gyms that I've been to in the area, parking is probably the most…read moredifficult here, as there's some tandem spots. Luckily they have a system here where they'll call the description of the car on the PA to move their car if someone parked inside needs to get out (trusting that people who did park behind log it on the clipboard at the entrance.) Gym feels stuffier and smaller too, and it was pretty crowded on a Thursday evening. Lots of overhang here compared to the Post. The ladder coming down from problems that require going over is intimidating for a beginner climber as there's no railing for a steep decline. Still was able to get in a decent number of climbs though on the other walls. All the other amenities are standard for a touchstone gym. Overall, it's alright compared to other gyms, but if you're a first timer or live nearby, it's nice and well kept. 3.5 stars would probably be more accurate imo, but I'll round up bc this place is better than non touchstone gyms Despite this gym being the closer drive, I prefer Pasadena or Torrance (15-20 min difference).

I've attended the DANCEBOX class taught by Illiana and it was such a cathartic and inspiring experience unlike any other dance class I've had. It was a mix of sexy, empowering, emotional, badass, and hyped up class that really makes you feel tied to the community. I also took the Sound Healing class taught by Angela. The studio had comfy cushions and blankets provided. She has the most soothing voice and it was a great environment to meditate while not feeling too overcrowded. The studio is really clean and feels new. It has a great ambiance and welcoming environment. The bathrooms are very clean and have nice toiletry brands. Lockers are available and you can bring your refillable bottle for water. Parking is free and easy downstairs in the underground lot.

TLDR: Informative website, small climbing gym (no top rope), easy access 8am - 5pm. After 5pm,…read moreparking may cost money. Friendly staff, active events calendar and best of all, CLEAN! - - - - - - I've been waiting to check out this Sender One location; my first ever visit (with 5-Punch Pass) was the Playa Vista Location, and the Westwood one feels slightly smaller in comparison. Give the recent fires, I am very grateful that they were able to extend my pass for a few weeks. At the time of visit, I wished that I could have gotten a tour of the facilities being a first-time visitor. Finding the restroom took a while as I was not expecting a gender-inclusive restroom. It's not a large location, but the orange walls make it easy to get lost. There's also a small room with a few pieces of gym equipment. What's impressive is how CLEAN the entire facilities is, which in my opinion is difficult for climbing gyms in general. As mentioned, the Westwood location is a rather smaller one. Neither hits nor the Playa Vista location had belay and rope, only bouldering. The grading here was fairly diverse, though it did not feel there were too many routes compared to Hangar 18. A Saturday morning before noon felt rather quiet, but noticeably more people startled trickling in around noon. Like most gyms, there is an events calendar, and I really enjoyed the different group events that are offered. I really wished that there would have been closer parking, though - and free or options with validation. Their website lists many locations, but most of them will come at a premium in the evening.

First time visitor to the brand new Westwood Sender One!! It has over 100 bouldering routes that…read moreare updated regularly and range from V0 to V12 I believe. Great routes for beginners and advanced climbers. Be sure to come in March to get the 5 visit punch pass for $59!! A great deal!! Otherwise, you can buy a day pass for around $35 or a membership, ranging from $89 for students to $100+ for regular members. Check their website for the most accurate pricing. They have bouldering classes as well as an entire yoga studio for personal use or classes. They also have a small fitness room with weights. Being a brand new space, it's super clean and beautifully organized. Lots of cubbies to store your stuff or you can use their lockers for free if you bring your own lock. Gender neutral restrooms and showers are available. Merch is also for sale. Rental gear comes with your pass but you can also bring your own stuff. The best part? The staff!!! I was greeted by Hannah who gave me a personal tour of the facility and recommended beginner routes to me. She remembered my name and would check in throughout the visit to see how it was going. Super nice!! If you want to save time, fill out their waiver in advance. You will also need to fill out an orientation form if it's your first time. I'm excited to get the most out of my 5 punch pass, which lasts 2 months! Only suggestion is I wish they would offer cheaper day passes for students or EBT card holders similar to how Cliffs of Id charges $10/day for EBT card holders. The membership allows you to visit all Sender One gyms - which is great if you can get there. However for many college students without cars I think there would be a lot of interest in a Westwood Only membership for a lower price. As someone who doesn't have a car, it is unlikely that I'll be able to use the other Sender One gyms which limits me to this facility and makes the $89/month for just bouldering not as worthwhile. Something for management to consider!! I am also not sure what a "visit" entails; for a day pass, can you leave and come back? If so, that would definitely make it more worth the money (i.e. yoga class in the morning and climbing at night).
