Fantastic gym. Far and away the best gym in the Valley...lightyears ahead. Opens early, full weight room, tall walls for a gym (55-60'), constant new sets, great training areas, free yoga/fitness classes, and empty during the days (busy at night). There might be better options if you are only into bouldering. Friendly vibes too. Even has a physical therapist there a few times a week who is a climber and understands climbing specific injuries. I'd say the downside it living on this side of town puts you farther from the great climbing of northern AZ. You are a bit closer to Queen Creek and southern Az however..

I visit AZ usually once a year to visit family in Tucson and am always checking out the gyms in PHX and TUS. I looked on the Alta website and it is hard to tell, but from the photos it looks like they have a few autobelays, correct? Which—Gilbert or Chandler—would be best for a guy driving through looking for an autobelay workout, or are the two gyms identical? (Sorry to slightly hijack the thread… but just for a moment.)

Chandler is just bouldering.

Thanks, Ted. I’ll definitely be checking out Gilbert when I’m out that way again. Pardon the interruption. Now back to regular programming…

Oh good to know! I'm more of a sport girl so the tall walls and new sets are highly enticing haha! Thanks for all the info!
