They have a great selection of weightlifting equipment and any accessories needed. Atmosphere is good and never had any issues with other gym members. It&#8217;s a very supportive environment and the staff are friendly and helpful. Recently started climbing and while I wish the bouldering section was larger, it&#8217;s a smaller building so it makes sense why it&#8217;s much more compact.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong> Breanna <\/strong><\/p>\n                                    <p>&#8220;Such a great spot. It&#8217;s relatively smaller but a lot quieter. The gym above is amazing. The manager Dan is the nicest person I ever met. Highly recommended! Best touchstone location\u2764\ufe0f&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><strong>Zhiyue<\/strong><\/p>\n                                    <p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been climbing here for a few years now. The staff here is amazing. This is a great gym if you&#8217;re visiting from out of town because it&#8217;s easily accessible via BART and bus. Plus, it&#8217;s an easy place to meet locals (like me) who&#8217;ll probably have good recommendations on things to do in the area&#8230;&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><strong>Weston<\/strong><\/p>\n                                    <p>&#8220;I love this gym! I&#8217;ve always liked this gym bc it&#8217;s very calm during the day and fun and social in the evenings. Setting is top notch and the staff are cool. They play fun music in different genres.
