What our members are saying

“I love this place for climbing and working out. There are some good yoga teachers as well. My favorite thing is the natural light—there’s so much of it compared to any other gym I’ve ever been to. Good people too!”

Alissa

“Experience with this gym has been great. The staff are approachable and knowledgeable, and the culture amongst climbers is friendly. I appreciate that they mix up new routes every other months or so. Definitely my favorite gym in the Bay Area.”

Lauren

“Ironworks is where I first started climbing about a year ago so I might be biased. But I’ve recently tried a couple other gyms and it makes me appreciate Ironworks even more!”

CH

“Been a long-time member of Berkeley Ironworks.  Not only do they have superb climbing facilities but the weight training is one of the best.  It’s always very clean, staff very friendly and overall love this gym.  I definitely recommend it as a gym option if you love climbing and want high quality weight training equipment.”
