The best gym I’ve had the pleasure of belonging to! Staff and regulars alike are super friendly and supportive, and there’s a great community feel. Even though it’s a little smaller than some other gyms, you won’t get bored as they set new problems frequently, rotating out sections of the wall.

Well I cant give much insight on the quality of the gym because I decided not to attend. First off, they want $30 to climb there, even if you just want to Boulder. Secondly.... The staff puzzled me. These employees clearly dont climb nor work out. They were nice and all when they werent glued to their phones but they were SOOO out of place by working there. They were obese, literally obese. Very bizarre experience. This gym has clearly gone woke. Why pay $30 when I could literally use that cash to drive to and fro from Tahoe and climb pristine granite??? If Hans still owns this place than he has forgotten what climbing and the lifestyle is all about. Real shame.

Some great rock walls and a bouldering area. They also have a small gym. This place is awesome. I bring my 7yo son all the time and all the people are kind and welcoming. Its a good place to learn. They dont have any automatic belay so youll need a buddy if you wanna climb the walls.

I bouldered so long that I couldnt untie my rock climbing shoes. The girl at the front desk was kind enough to help me out. But it was kinda embarrassing.

We love this place! It is family oriented and offers more than just rock climbing and bouldering. Spinning, weight lifting, yoga and more. It is fun to book climbing parties for kids and adults. They have a room for pizza/cake parties, that you must book. The facility is kept clean and well maintained. The staff is helpful and knowledgeable. It is a good workout with a lot of fun. They have easy climbing routes and much more challenging ones. It is easy to loose track of time while having some physical fun!

Awesome facility with constantly rotating routes for new challenges. Staff are all super friendly and helpful and everything is kept cleaned and organized. I recently joined a few weeks ago and everyone there has made jumping into climbing an easy and fun experience. They also have CrossFit classes at a discount for members so I might be trying that in the future. They do have drop-in rates and month passes, but do yourself a favor and just get a membership and it pays for itself within a few visits!

I havent been to many climbing gyms in the past, so i thought that the reason i was so impressed with this place was due to my inexperience, but when i caught the bug, got back home to Florida, and tried to find something similar i soon realized how special Diablo rock gym really is.The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, and the facility is incredible. Best of all, the atmosphere and people there was infectious. Everyone is extremely encouraging, and wants to see you succeed, and will help you get there.The fully equipped weight training facility inside was a great bonus!What an awesome place to get fit and have a lot of fun!

I came here with a friend a few months back just for something to do and immediately fell in love with climbing. Great gym, people are nice and staff is great. Its on the smaller end but its usually not as busy for that reason. Lots of good too rope routes and a smaller bouldering area that gets more interesting the better you get at climbing. Love it so much I bought gear and a membership after my second visit. A great place for beginners and there were many harder routes for experienced climbers.

Rock solid! Not perfect, as nothing ever is. But the staff and management were super helpful for my son’s birthday party! It was like summer camp for 2 hours. He and his friends had an incredible time. There was room for constructive criticism and Hans and his team listened and took full responsibility. We can’t wait to come back and rock on...

Only been here a few times with friends who are members... Very dope place. On top of the rock walls and bouldering area theres weight equipment, locker rooms equipped with showers steam room & sauna, yoga classes offered, I think cross fit too? Not sure what the deal is with these guys and Diablo cross fit but Id assume if youre a member of either you probably get some sort of deal if you want to use the other? Clean place, cool people, friendly employees. It is a little steep for a student like myself I think a monthly membership runs something around $67 but considering all the stuff you can use thats not bad at all.

This place is awesome. I went for a yoga class with a friend and everyone was very friendly. Kate, the yoga instructor, is exceptional. She creates a very personalized feeling in thew class. It was my first yoga class ever, and I didnt feel awkward at all!

I have a bunch of friends that go rock climbing in the city but since I work out of walnit Creek I didnt have the time to go. A co-worker said that there was a gym in walnut Creek so I decided to try it out.At first I thought it was small because I only bouldered, but as I started to get into top roping and getting into harder routes it was a very friendly and warm place.At this location they hold a bunch of free events for members and everyone that I talk to that goes here loves it.

So Disappointing.This review is based on the overall experience. Our 11 year old son, after a previous visit to this gym, requested his birthday party be kept at this place. We called the Gym in advance to reserve, and were told that the reservation can only be done online and assured us it is easy, safe and secured (questionable). Setup the reservation online paying the deposit, and when we called the day before the event to ask questions regarding bringing in the pizza and cake, we were told There is NO reservation!, and that there is nothing that can be done at this time. We had invited 16 kids to come from Lafayette and had no place to go. After calling back, the reservation was found, however made at Fresno Gym. We never inquired about any other locations and made the reservation on their site without getting any options to choose a different location. Now that the reservation was found, we are told that we still cannot come because they do not have staff. We offered to do ropes and we were told to come late that day for training. Once the staff part was resolved, we were told that they do not have a room to do the party in. After insisting for awhile, they offered their yoga classroom. Once we saw it we understood their hesitation... The room was smelling terrible and felt dirty and the chairs they provided looked like they were retrieved from a garbage bin as well as not enough of them. Dirty, ugly looking, or even smaller size. We had to ask for someone to do something about that smell so that we can bring the kids and have them fed. The check in process was slow, unpleasant and disorganized. We were embarrassed in front of the parents dropping of their children but for the staff it seemed normal. Most kids in our party within the hour and a half provided, they did the claim once or twice due to the overcrowding and long wait times. We were not at ease with the instructors that told 8-10 year old kids to claim the big boulders without the ropes. Three instructors were supposed to be assigned to our group, however we only saw one active and assumed that two other ones were talking to each other by the smaller boulders intended for the younger kids. Most staff was unpleasant to talk to or was talking to the kids in a somewhat rude and inpatient manner without explaining what was that they did wrong.The amount of stress that this particular part of our sons birthday celebration put on us was not worth the little fun the Gym provides. We believe it may be a great place to work out or claim but by no means they are ready or willing to host and welcome a group of kids coming all at once.

The two guys who answered the phone on 8/25/18 at 11:30 a.m. were unable or unwilling to answer my questions. However, they were both quick to tell me that most people go online for information. So here I am online writing this review. The information given to me by your employees contradicted what your webpage says as far as booking Kids belay. I assume then that they either didnt really check the availability or that your webpage is wrong and thus my phone call was necessary, Or your employees are lazy (read way to cool to give out accurate information) and losing you a trivial amount of money. I understand that $40 is meaningless to your business, I also understand that losing one customer isnt really that important, but what should mean a lot is excluding two young girls from participating in the sport that your business is so passionate about. Thanks guys.

The gym environment is great, and it is usually fairly open. There are only a handful of routes under 5.10 in rating, so it isnt great for less skilled climbers, though I have been enjoying pushing myself onto the harder routes.

My favorite of all the Touchstone gyms in the Bay Area. Never too crowded, lots of climbs, and a great outdoor workout area for classes or general lifting. Indoor bike parking as well.
