Staff is very outgoing. More than a climbing gym. They also have yoga and fitness classes. Best part is the full gym with a lot of weights without any wait. Only thing stopping them from 10 out of 10 is no sauna / cold plunge but you get so much for your dollar here.

We hosted my son’s 6th birthday party at Austin Bouldering Project (Westgate) and had such a wonderful experience! The kids had their own dedicated rock wall, and even with 15 kids plus parents, the space worked perfectly. The staff were helpful and accommodating, and our party helper, Gabe, was fantastic—he kept the momentum going with games, helped organize the kids, and made sure everything ran smoothly. I had wondered if one room would be enough to keep the kids entertained for the full two hours, but it absolutely was—they never stopped climbing and loved every minute. This turned out to be such an easy, unique, and memorable party choice—especially for our rock-loving 6-year-old. Highly recommend!

Been to a couple of gyms across the country since I stop on road trips, ABP had the coolest route setting by far. Took a while to understand the layout but other than that great gym. First visit is free, staff was helpful, gym was clean and community was nice. Not much more to ask for.

Desk staff were great (and deserve a raise 😉)! Including Mrc, Ff, and the guy who gave me beta whose name I didn’t get. Setting was neat. Gym was clean. Plenty of non-climbing equipment. I wish my home gym had a yoga room and yoga classes like this one does. Not sure how packed it gets on weekdays and non-mothers days, but I never had to wait more than a few minutes for my turn.

What I like as a woman who sometimes climbs: Staff: From day 1, it was easy to become a member because the staff helps explain how everything works and sets up the acct. Someone helped me to buy shoes by letting me try on tons of pairs and giving me advice about fitting. When I walk in, I'm always greeted by name and smile, even on a busy day. Instructors acknowledge me in or out of class. They are knowledgeable and helpful. Community: Even if I show up to climb alone, it's easy to talk to other climbers about routes and techniques. People will cheer me on and it feels great. So many times I find other women climbing and we end up climbing together which is fun. In the fitness classes, many people are regulars and will form little bonds. Some of my best friends are people I hang out with at ABP throughout the week. Climbing: for me it's ok. I tend to like some areas more than others. Most days there is tons of space to climb and it doesn't feel too packed. I'm not a fan of the smaller, darker area off to the side. Maybe it's a lighting thing, or that it feels cramped and like I'm in someone's way. Fitness classes: love and adore the circuit, mobility and movement playground classes. Now that there is new gym equipment I really hope they'll create a new weight lifting class (currently there's only one on Fridays). The yoga classes are absolutely varied by style and instructors - and they are great. I love the studio, especially because I use the space when it's empty. Gym - full of new equipment. Bathrooms/showers: I don't like that they are separate. They need a proper locker room, with a sauna and cold plunge like at Springdale! Parking: abundant!
