G1 Climbing + Fitness

Fantastic experience: Great facilities, location, and staff! Lost of top rope, lead climbing, and bouldering. Nice kids area with auto-belay (a few in the main area too). Did use the gym equipment or classes, but this is a great all around fitness location with very reasonable pricing.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. Great setting and a wide variety of routes for all levels. General atmosphere is low key compared to many of the gyms in Denver. Excellent spot.

Fantastic experience: Great staff, always a great climb.

Fantastic experience: Excellent climbing gym! There's a "shorter" kids climbing area that's amazing for warm up and kids that don't have as much endurance. Fantastic place for birthday parties and really reasonably priced (as climbing gyms go)!

Fantastic experience: Very clean. Very fun. Great community feel

Fantastic experience: GREAT gym! Lovely and fresh setting, clean environment, and super friendly. I would highly recommend G1!

Fantastic experience: G1 is an amazing gym! The route setting is simply superb – the setters clearly put thought and creativity into every climb, making easier and harder climbs engaging and fun. The facility is incredibly clean and well-maintained, and the staff is filled with some of the kindest, most welcoming people you'll ever meet. Highly recommend G1 to climbers of all levels!

Fantastic experience: Clean gym with good equipment and good setting!

Fantastic experience: I’d rather not tell anyone about how good this place is because I wanna keep it to myself

Fantastic experience: Best route setting I've come across. High routes, inventive climbing, clean - no ancient slopers with 3 months of chalk! Good turn over of routes with some new routes across the spectrum every few days. Sensible grades. Just the best!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. Been members for years and always a positive experience.

Negative experience: Two weeks before nationals and the only 15m speed wall on the front range is removed?? And the gyms complain about USAClimbing? Support the climbers. Where do the gyms think olympians come from?

Fantastic experience: Can’t rave enough about the route setting here… it is consistent, approachable, and kinesthetic. The routes are also set in a way to promote safe climbing which is a huge plus- gym climbing should feel free- really great use of space in the bouldering area as well. Secondary- the equipment here is top notch, both available for rent and purchase. The fitness center also has an excellent selection of niche tools- powerbars, elevated heel pads… kind of an insane collection of hang boards in house too! Check it out!

Fantastic experience: A wonderful place to climb and workout. Great community of staff and members.

Fantastic experience: Amazing vibes, best setting in the front range!! Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: G1 is a really good climbing gym, it’s actually my favorite!

Fantastic experience: This gym is for all level of climbers. Great staff and specially the owner is frequently in the gym.

Fantastic experience: I switched over to G1 ~6 months ago, and I love it here! Their community nights are awesome, the route setting (boulders and roped/lead routes) are always fun and introducing new movement. The Yoga classes led by Morgan are always full of fun, new challenges (the food kind), and provide exactly what I look for in a yoga class.

Fantastic experience: G1 is hands down one of the best climbing gyms I’ve ever visited! I live in Boulder less than 5 mins walk of 2 climbing gyms but I would rather drive to G1. The cleanliness of this facility is impeccable—every surface, from the climbing walls to the fitness areas, is spotless. It’s so refreshing to see a gym that prioritizes cleanliness at this level, which makes the entire experience even more enjoyable. The indoor air quality is fantastic, even during peak hours. They must have an amazing ventilation system because you never feel that typical gym “stale air” or “chalky” vibe. The route setting is top notch! The variety and creativity in the routes keep me engaged and challenged every time I visit. Whether you’re a beginner looking for fun, approachable climbs or a seasoned climber chasing your next project, there’s something for everyone. It’s also cool to see many professional elite athletes training on their 5.13/5.14 routes. Overall, G1’s attention to detail in every aspect, from cleanliness and air quality to the quality of the climbs, makes it a must-visit for climbers and fitness enthusiasts alike. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Favorite gym in the greater Denver area! Love all their community programs!!

Fantastic experience: Thanks to Jeff for welcoming folks and making us waffles - this gym feels friendly and welcoming!

Fantastic experience: Love the gym, the wall height, route setting, the clean air, great staff, and community vibes. My favorite gym in the Boulder area

Fantastic experience: I love climbing at G1. The tall walls and great setting provides lots of great challenges and change very regularly. The staff are great and the vibe, even when busy, is very friendly and chill. Even my 5y/o comes for sessions, and has a blast.

Fantastic experience: Great Gym. Always super clean and never too busy. Long, flowy routes with plenty of TR and Lead options.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful service, thank you so much Jeff!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of this gym for nearly two years and it's the best climbing gym I've ever experienced. The facility is extremely clean: the weight room, the holds, and even the air (have you seen the massive air filtration system in the southwest corner?). The staff is very friendly and helpful, especially Jeff the Programs Director. The gym makes such a strong effort to create a small community out of the members. The events include climbing nights for various groups, climbing comps, gym to crag nights, holiday potlucks, even Olympic climbing watch parties at 2AM. Another shoutout to the staff that manages the kids teams, they do a tremendous job of teaching the kids how to boulder safely, stay out of the way of other climbers, and share sections of the wall with everyone else even when their team is working on a particular problem. The setting is a great mix of fun comp-style problems and more outdoor-style body tensiony stuff. I especially like that the routes and problems have more lateral movement on the wall instead of the Movement gyms in the area which pretty much take a straight path up the wall (largely because they have to since the gyms are so busy). Even at 6PM on a rainy winter night the gym is never too busy, especially when compared to others in the front range. The owners clearly care deeply about the members. One such example is when there was a tiny tear in one of the bouldering mats and one of the owners personally closed down the section and ensured it was fixed immediately. At larger gyms such as Movement RiNo I've seen long split seams in their mats that are there for months and months. Excellent, excellent gym and staff - thank you G1!

Fantastic experience: G1 Climbing Gym is great. I’ve been going there for several years now and can say it continues to impress. Clean facilities, kind people, and amazing events. The new Boulder League and Rope League events are fun and collaborative. Jeff and the G1 team make it a welcoming and fun community!

Fantastic experience: First off been climbing for 2 years, been to most gyms up north but never one that’s been this clean! The staff is awesome and super helpful! Not to mention the only gym that’s had an above standard lifting area! Was able to cancel my other gym membership!

Negative experience: So unfortunately I would give this gym a better review but I rented a harness to try to rope climb but got told after I had already paid that I had to take the class first to climb on the wall so I didn’t get any time on the wall and just wanted my money. I was also with two people who did take the class . The bouldering part is the saving grace. Just disappointed I couldn’t rope climb and rented a harness for nothing.

Fantastic experience: I’ve climbed in many gyms over the past 20 years and this gym is one of my all time favs and DEFINITELY the best gym in the Front Range. Great staff, top notch facilities, awesome walls, and incredible route setters. The gym is clean and well kept, friendly and welcoming and I am so grateful they came to Broomfield! Love g1! You guys are the best! Thank you!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym in so many ways. Community : We just moved here a month and a half ago and knew no one in the area. I won't claim we have BFFs now, but Jeff and his team at G1 have created a very social environment with various meet ups each week. There's a generic climber meetup, a women's meetup, and a queer climbers meetup. The staff splits folks up into pairs based on what kind of climbing you want to do, and so far everyone has been lovely. We're also looking forward to the roped league coming soon. Jeff often goes around and checks in on how people are doing. Incredibly friendly and always smiling. He also recommended the Gym to Crag class, a 1 day indoor/1 day outdoor class to help make the transition from gym to outdoor climbing. We did it and feel so much more equipped to make the jump comfortably to outdoor climbing. Shout-out to Andrew at Denver Mountain Guiding for teaching the class. Facilities : It's the only gym we've climbed at in the area, but I've brought a couple of friends who have climbed elsewhere and they were super impressed. I'm told the walls are some of the highest in the area, and we've also really been enjoying the route-setting. We're both around v5 level, but even the v2-v3 range are super fun because the setting is really creative and interesting. There's also yoga classes, which I'm not yogi, but also no complaints as a casual. Also includes a fitness gym area, moon board(s?). Really everything you could want from a modern climbing gym. Busy-ness : Weekday evenings can get fairly busy, but coming from an incredibly large city with a single gym, it's really not that bad. Weekends and early evenings are usually quite chill as well. You don't have to find some insane timeframe to go to have a good session. All in all great gym, can't recommend enough. Also, you may catch some professional climbers absolutely crushing it which is always fun to see.

Fantastic experience: G1 is the best gym in Colorado. And, it has the best manager - Nicole!

Fantastic experience: Clean gym. Friendly staff. Regularly updated routes. Lots of great free classes(AM yoga is my favorite). Great classes to learn climbing skills. Fun community nights. Guest passes to other nearby gyms included with your membership. Overall great place to climb. As someone with a weird schedule and not many people to climb with I wish there were a few more auto belays but that's my only criticism.

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about this rock climbing gym! From the moment I walked in, I felt incredibly welcomed by the amazing community here. The atmosphere is always positive & inclusive, making it the perfect place for climbers of all levels. A special shoutout to Nicole, who has been nothing short of fantastic. She got me signed up as a member & also assisted me in starting to vend at their events. Through this, I've had the opportunity to meet so many friendly & supportive people. Whether you're a seasoned climber or just starting out, this gym is the place to be. The sense of community & the support you receive is unmatched. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: The greatest climbing gym I’ve ever had the pleasure of going to. The staff are phenomenal, the routes are reset regularly, always a clean and inviting environment. The one aspect that sets this gym far above all others is the community that they have fostered. When I moved to Colorado I made my first real friend group all thanks to Tuesday’s climbers meetup. Words cannot express how thankful I am for finding this amazing gym!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym, they do tons of community events and the staff are incredible and friendly. Great climbs, super clean environment!

Fantastic experience: —________________— I have a whale of a time every time

Fantastic experience: My hand hurts Worth it

Fantastic experience: Jeff was absolutely spectacular

Fantastic experience: I've been climbing in the Front Range for a little over a decade now and have trained in many gyms. G1 is by far the best. Its setters are top-notch and regularly set and reset incredible sport routes and boulder problems and have a full suite of auxiliary training tools (including adjustable Kilter and Tension boards). So much time and care goes into this place. It is so clear that it is owned and run by passionate local climbers. But most important are the immaculate vibes and sense of community at this gym. Each and every staff member is helpful and friendly and there seems to be a new event, social gathering, or affinity group each week. Can't stress enough how wholesome and welcoming this place is. Wouldn't want a membership anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: The climbing is amazing, the staff is incredible, and the clothing options are locally made and extremely comfortable. I’d give this gym a 100/10 if I could. Shoutout to Nicole and Hannah for putting up with me when I need help with something. Couldn’t be happier with my home gym

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym on the Front Range. Clean, stellar staff, great route setting. Routes are tall, so excellent training for the rope stretchers in the alpine!

Fantastic experience: 2024 update: the scheduling and behavior issues with the kids teams have been addressed and it no longer feels like a daycare/zoo. I still wish there was consensus grading. The grades mean almost nothing between climbs and between setters. Original review: I climbed here for over a year and enjoyed it, but now there are so many competition teams and kids teams that practice EVERY weekday during peak hours (5-8) that they just block up the walls and make the gym unusable. The kids clubs spread out and block whole walls and do repetitive cycles on the same climb making the walls even more unusable for long periods. If all the teams practiced during non-peak hours or upstairs, this gym might actually be accessible for non-team/non-club users. Especially this year, the route ratings have been all over the place after they removed consensus grading. 10s and 12s that climb like 11s, two 11s next to each other where one climbs like a 10 and the other like a 12. I'm really sad that I can no longer enjoy the walls here after work.

Fantastic experience: Been going here for years! They're my favorite front range gym. Gym is clean and new. Jason, the owner is lovely and it's nice climbing at a small business owned gym. Vibes are also immaculate in regards to the people/culture. Some other gyms in the area have an elitist feel to them and G1 does not.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! It's clean, the staff is nice, plenty of climbs even when it's busy, and best of all, the routes are fun and get reset often! The included yoga classes are also well done. 10/10

Fantastic experience: By far the best gym my husband and I have ever been to in 35 years of rock climbing. The route setting is exceptional and the gym is very clean. The staff is great, very welcoming and professional. We love to train here in part because they have more difficult routes. Best gym for routes that are like climbing outside too.

Fantastic experience: From the perspective of someone just starting to climb, this place is incredible. The community is welcoming and the staff is friendly and helpful. Even without paying for a class I've had someone help me with a project that was giving me trouble. I got genuine advice on what my first pair of climbing shoes should be. The staff deserves some recognition for their dedication to their members. I've only given bouldering a shot so far but the gym has so much packed in it I feel like I could be trying new things for years. From the perspective of someone who also likes to lift, this gym's weight room is pretty good. Obviously G1 won't have the same equipment as a normal weight training gym and that's totally fine but I feel like it's almost there. In my opinion if they could make the space and get a weighted calf machine, a dedicated lat pulldown machine and a quad/hamstring extension machine this weight room would have everything I'd need. It's not really a huge deal to me personally but I think it's a good thing to point out.

Fantastic experience: Excellent environment and great staff! They always have fun events like climbing in the dark, little competitions and celebrating different national/international days like International Waffles Day. Yes, you heard that right, WAFFLES! I highly recommend this place for great climbs, including, bouldering, top rope, lead, and they have a sprint wall too. They also have some fitness and yoga classes to if that interests you!

Fantastic experience: Since I’ve been a member here, these people have been the best. Love the climbs but also love the friendly, inclusive culture here. The staff are really really kind and helpful. I recommend this place to anyone who loves to climb or want to try it ❤️

Fantastic experience: Excellent staff, excellent facility, top notch routes!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely stellar experience with G1 Climbing and Fitness! Not only do they provide top-notch facilities and expert guidance for climbers of all levels, but their unwavering support for our nonprofit organization, Veterans Exploration Therapy, truly sets them apart. The team at G1 goes above and beyond to empower and uplift their community. Their commitment to giving back to those who have served is truly commendable. Thank you, G1, and Jeff for your outstanding dedication to both climbing excellence and community service!"

Fantastic experience: Went to this gym for a long time. Their facility is MASSIVE! Great mix of bouldering and rope walls, with general exercise equipment and classes available. Awesome community. Always very inclusive and accomodating.

Fantastic experience: Where do I even begin with G1 Climbing Gym? This place isn't just a gym; it's a portal to a world where gravity is more of a suggestion than a law, and where chalk isn't just for classrooms! First off, let's talk about Nicole and Jeff, the dynamic duo that make Batman and Robin look like they're just playing dress-up. Nicole, with her encyclopedic knowledge of every nook and cranny on the walls, can guide you through routes that feel like a personal tour of RMNP, minus the frostbite. And then there's Jeff, whose belaying skills are so legendary, I'm pretty sure he could hold onto the rope with one hand while making a gourmet sandwich with the other. But what truly sets G1 Climbing Gym apart is the atmosphere. It's like if a motivational speech and a high-five had a baby, and that baby grew up to be a gym. The community here is so supportive, you'd think they're all cheerleaders in disguise. I once fell off a bouldering route, and three people applauded my "graceful dismount." I felt like I'd won a medal. The facilities are top-notch, with walls that challenge you to defy gravity in ways Newton probably never intended. In conclusion, if you're looking for a place where you can push your limits, make lifelong friends, and occasionally get chalk in places you didn't know existed, G1 Climbing Gym is your spot. And if you see Nicole or Jeff, tell them they're the real MVPs. Just don't challenge Jeff to a sandwich-making contest; you will lose. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fantastic experience: G1 is awesome. It's always super clean, the staff is always welcoming and the setting is great. Everything is really well maintained and thought through. They have a ton of community events that feel very inclusive and there's plenty of things to do for beginners all the way up to advanced climbers. They also offer climbing classes and have private coaches that can take your climbing to the next level. I work with Chelsea Rude and I've seen significant improvements in all aspects of my climbing in a short time. I'd highly recommend Chelsea to climbers of all levels and I think G1 is probably the best all-around climbing gym I've ever been to.

Fantastic experience: G1 is the best climbing gym in the Front Range! Fantastic route setting and long routes. I go twice a week, and there are usually new routes *every* time I come in so there is always something fresh to work on. It's also the cleanest gym around in terms of air quality and bathrooms.

Fantastic experience: Best setting of any gym in the area. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Shout out to Nicole—she’s awesome!

Fantastic experience: G1 has always been the best and my favorite place to climb. Great climbs, tons of variety, and a very professional but fun experience. Nicole and Josh have always been friendly and helpful as well!

Fantastic experience: Good bouldering and sport climbing. Kilterboard and tension board are usually open too. Nicole was very pleasent to work with.

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, nice wall, quality routes. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: G1 is my favorite gym in the front range. Not slammed with 9000 people, great setting, great environment.

Fantastic experience: After being a member at: Movement (Boulder & Denver), the gym formally known as Evo, the gym formally known as Earth Treks (Golden) AND the gym formally known as Rock'n & Jam'n, I can safely say that G1 is my favorite gym in all of Colorado. I appreciate that G1 is one of the few gyms left standing that isn't owned by a corporate giant, and I truly love that it feels that way from the moment you step inside, with local art for sale and staff members who actually care about you. G1 offers so many great fitness and yoga classes along with tons of meetup nights, including Send It Sisters: a female empowerment group of badass women. I've taken several classes offered by coach Jeff Blum as well that were incredible; The Art of Falling and Push Your Grade, along with individual coaching sessions that were really helpful. I love all of the staff at G1 but I especially appreciate Nicole Jolyn, who radiates joy and is always willing to help with any problem I've ever had. She also comes up with and runs really fun events, like Kisses & Cookies which featured adoptable dogs from Rocky Mountain Puppy Rescue (free dog kisses!) and cookies from a local Girl Scout troop.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this gym. It has so much to offer to a variety of climbers and boulderers. The staff is excellent and the route setters are doing a great job. Everyone on the staff is very friendly, welcoming, and seems to be having a fun time. That projects out to the members and visitors. They greet you coming in with a smile and say goodbye and thanks for coming when you leave. Nicole has set up some exciting events, like puppies and Girl Scout cookies. On the same night! What else could one ask?

Fantastic experience: G1 is a premier, climbing and fitness gym. Super clean, great equipment, and the staff is top-notch! Extremely , knowledgeable, encouraging, and helpful. I would highly recommend G1 to anyone looking for a new hobby, or a great workout!

Fantastic experience: G1 is by far my favorite climbing gym I’ve been to. I’m currently a member of Movement, but went with my friends who are G1 members for the first time and absolutely loved the experience. The holds are super textured and feel brand new, the routes are all super flow-y, and the community feel is amazing. Even though I was just a visitor, they were so kind and accommodating and they interact with me. I’m strongly considering a switch. Nicole, their ops manager, is a gem. The events and activities she holds are so fun. Highly rec this gym!

Fantastic experience: Great friendly and supportive and staff, and a clean open facility. The walls are the tallest indoors in the area, and the routes are set with ingenuity; engaging your finesse, skill and technique, similar to outside routes - the best.

Fantastic experience: This is a large and clean facility. It has much taller walls than most gyms, so you can get an endurance workout. They have a large room with climbs set for shorter climbers (young kids) that helps them do things without every crux being a height or reach problem. They also have a great pro-shop with lots of gear for sale too. I found the staff to be quite friendly and helpful. Once you pay for a pass or membership, or the day use fee to go in, then all of the classes or services (like Yoga, TRX, HITT, etc...) are included in the price, so you can throw in Yoga with your climbing and Spin session for no extra cost!

Fantastic experience: I have climbed at many gyms and, I have to say, G1 has the best route setting. I'm a fairly short climber and I never feel like my reach or height is a limitation. You can find a variety of ways to challenge yourself and progress on the terrain here. The holds are well-maintained and not polished. The community here is also wonderful. I feel so welcome and at home at G1. Thank you G1 setters and staff for being so awesome!

Fantastic experience: Simply the best gym I have ever visited - and by far! There is a rout setting crew working day in day out, the holds are very diverse (and well maintained). They even have their own lift so the setters can focus on the setting. They also have a Kilter board and a tension board and all that a climber needs to get strong. Well done G1! I’m hooked.

Fantastic experience: I love: (1) the route setting. They set with a team of 4 weekly. There's always something new. And they are well trained. (2) the people. The staff is friendly and helpful plus I have met climbing partners at this gym because people talk to each other. (3) cleanliness. They have huge filters to remove the chalk from the air. Bring a jacket because the breeze can be a welcome cool when climbing. (4) they wash their holds. They're not manky or polished (5) it's a TALL gym (6) the kids programming is well done. I drive an extra 10 mins past the nearest climbing gym -30 mins each way - to make this my home gym. It's totally worth it.

Fantastic experience: There are many climbing gyms closer to my home, but once I found G1 I broke up with them all. The route setting is stellar, the walls are textured and clean, the lighting is great and there’s always a good vibe.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to G1 Climbing & Fitness since they opened and it is a fantastic place to train. The route setters create fun challenging climbing and bouldering routes. The exercise room is nicely equipped with several squat racks, KB, dumbbells, and machines. Yoga and HIIT classes included in the price, and they have the friendliest, most helpful staff you could want. It’s well worth the price of admission.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym. The route setting is next level. Great community.

Fantastic experience: G1 is a fun and energetic climbing gym with a wholesome and diverse community! Show up early morning or 8pm to have the wall all to yourselves. :)

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym! Great setting, clean holds, friendly staff and members. They’ve also got classes and a nice weight room. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place to climb, I enjoy how well maintained this gym is and the strong sense of community it has. Definitely feels a lot more newer than many other gyms in the front range area.

Fantastic experience: i luv this gym! i just moved here from california and the staff has been nothing but welcoming. they also have amazing top rope courses and challenging (but fun) bouldering problems. shoutout chris & nick (and jenna of course <3) -hannah

Positive experience: Magnus Midtbo jokes about boulder walls being “for kids”… well at G1, it really is the kids wall. If you ever boulder here, expect to be surrounded by children running around and traversing across all of the problems, with no regard for others. You’d think the staff working with them would be more aware of the disturbance it’s causing. It seems like it’s gotten worse so after over a year of coming here. G1, if you’re going to have kids programs every single day during the most popular hours, please section it to a portion of the gym so others can enjoy the gym they pay for.

Fantastic experience: I started coming to G1 about 1.5 years ago as a brand new climber and there's literally nothing negative I can say about the place - all the staff is awesome, all the regulars who come there are awesome, the setting is awesome and even if you go 3-4 days a week there's practically always something new to try. Since getting into the sport I've climbed at most of the other gyms in the Denver area, and every time I do it just reinforces to me how great G1 is.

Fantastic experience: Love, love, love this gym! I’ve been going here pretty much since it opened. The gym is super clean/new, has everything you need for a good workout, the staff is friendly and helpful, but most of all - the setting is outstanding!!! I’ve climbed at all the various gyms in the Front Range and this gym really has the best setting for all ranges and skills! Highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Great setting, tall walls and friendly atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Best climbing gym ever!! Love the staff and the route setting :)

Fantastic experience: Been going to this gym for nearly three years and love it! Bouldering area has some great variety and the ropes section is some of the best I’ve seen in the gyms I’ve visited. The routesetters do a great job of changing things up on a routine basis. Annual Moon Rock professional competition is not to be missed! Both of my kids have enjoyed the programs offered and I particularly enjoy their offerings for a kids day camp when schools are closed for teacher work days in the middle of the week.

Fantastic experience: Excellent climbing and lots of equipment choices for regular workouts. Love the frequent community events, all the friends I’ve made here, and management does a fantastic job implementing feedback from their members to improve the gym

Fantastic experience: I have held memberships at most of the major climbing gyms on the front range (movement, the spot) and this is by far the best. The staff are super friendly, gym is very clean, not too busy around peak times, and the routes are high quality. Beginners and experienced climbers will both feel very welcome. Always great climbing at G1!

Negative experience: Worst experience ever. I would recommend LITERALLY ANY other climbing gym than this one.

Fantastic experience: great staff, set fun and challenging routes often so it never feels boring going back.

Fantastic experience: Great place! I came in as an absolute novice and they showed me the ropes (literally and figuratively) and made sure I was well set-up for success! Very clean, well equipped, and professional facility, and the staff is both extremely knowledgeable AND very friendly. I always feel like they have my back and want me to have the best experience possible! On top of everything else, they have a better-equipped weight room than 99% of "regular" gyms I've been in, with power racks, Olympic plates, kettlebells, and much more (even cardio equipment!)

Fantastic experience: Really an excellent climbing facility. I've been twice now after trying out a few different climbing gyms in the area, and let me tell you why this one truly deserves 5 stars. This is a very well designed gym. The color scheme, the natural wood paneling, route density, it all comes together really nicely. It's a beautiful facility. The area is clean, well lit (lots of natural lighting), and the bouldering mats are in very good condition. To find a gym with all 3 of these is a rare find, so it was really nice to finally find one. The setting (with some soft grading on ropes) is very very solid. A ton of variety when it comes to climbing styles, without the major shift towards ridiculous comp-style dyno moves that many larger gyms tend to have. I was definitely pleasantly surprised by this. The only real (minor) issue I have occasionally is route density. Some of the more slab-style climbing can be inhibited by holds on other routes, but really that is a super minor issue. I would rather have a ton of routes then an empty wall. The hold quality is outstanding. I literally did not find a single worn down hold, and that seriously contributed to the quality of each climb. It is clear that they take hold cleaning seriously. The workout facilities are also top tier and hardly ever ridiculously busy. All in all my complaints really come down to 3 nitpicky things. The bouldering area can be slightly confusing as to where a route ends. It's not like you can top out on this wall, and there's not really a definitive indication as to where the route ends. Perhaps tape on the finishing holds or some other indicator would go a super long way. The first clip on most of the routes are quite low, which makes sense since there are no mats underneath the lead wall or other ropes climbing areas, however it can cause a potential hazard if you have a light belayer and heavy climber. I would just be cautious of being sucked into the first clip. Most routes it seems pretty reasonable to skip the first clip. Last, and probably the least relevant thing. Price. Generally all gyms in the denver metro area are quite expensive, and I hate seeing the sport I love being gate kept by a steep price tag. It'd be nice to see some options for financially impacted individuals. If I could give 4.5 stars, I would for these reasons. But because I can't and it is definitely not a 4 star gym, it will get the 5 it deserves.

Fantastic experience: Favorite climbing gym I've ever been to. If it was closer to where I live, it would definitely be my primary gym.

Fantastic experience: Such a great climbing gym! Not only is G1 centrally located right off of the highway but is surrounded by great businesses and residential buildings (including a yummy brewery next door and Ziggi’s coffee). The space is incredibly clean (air purification and A/C on blast), the routes are diverse and fun to try, and the gym itself is intelligently laid out (e.g., no empty space, weight room on the ground floor). The staff are also so informative, kind, and helpful. In addition, there are lots of great offerings, including yoga and fitness classes tailored to climbers and athletes in genera. Finally, this climbing space prioritizes community, making so easy for newer climbers to make friends, find climbing partners, or drop into meet-ups whenever. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Does this gym provide punch passes in addition to day passes?

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about this gym. Going to or starting a new activity can be intimidating but the staff here are absolutely incredible and make you feel so welcome. The routes are awesome, autobelay is amazing so you can climb solo and the facility is perfect and clean. We had our sons 7th birthday party here and it was absolute perfection. They have a party room next to a corner of the gym and we got the entire corner to ourselves for the kids to climb their hearts out. The 2 staff that helped belay were so patient and kind and helped the kids climb any route they wanted. 100% will be back and would recommend this place to everyone!

Positive experience: Decent facility, well maintained, but we did not have a very good experience. Visited with myself and two little kids. Called ahead and were told they had 4 auto belay devices. Fewer than other places we go, but figured we would try it anyway. From my point of view, there were only 3 devices. The fourth was setup with a speed climbing course that was of no use to us. It would not have been so bad if I could have acted as a belayer for my kids. However, I failed their belay test. I understand the need for safety, but I've been climbing for over 20 years and have never failed a belay test anywhere. So there we were, $100 in and we were only able to use three ropes out of the several dozen they had available. I don't see us going back.

Fantastic experience: Tall walls, designed well. Great programs too.

Fantastic experience: Super clean gym, very friendly staff. Bouldering area is a bit on the small side but still plenty of options. I look forward to coming back to top rope.

Fantastic experience: The people are very nice and the have so many things to do with a friend they have classes and they change the route every week

Fantastic experience: Great people. Very helpful. Lovely gym.

Fantastic experience: Nice new gym. I only sampled the bouldering, but the roped climbing looked very nice, too. Most of the routes are toprope, however, with only one overhanging lead wall available. Walls are tall, 50 ft, which is very nice. Modern hold selection. Speed wall for those who like that, and a huge continuous hand crack on the autobelay. The bouldering area upstairs is not enormous, but certainly enough to tire you out. I found the route setting really good here, interesting problems, often requiring good footwork. Bouldering grades felt quite stiff for a gym, i.e. almost outdoor-grade equivalent. Nice to see for a change! Great hangboarding area as well with exchangeable hangboards, really well executed, never seen that before. Downstairs gym with treadmills, stairmaster, free weights and squat racks. I'll be back!

Fantastic experience: They have some of the best routesetting in the country. There are strong climbers at this gym, especially the youth. The head setter has well over a decade of experience, and has a great team. The boulders were most impressive to me, as every style was represented. Coordination dynos and bicycle beta were artfully created. Their use of volumes was above average. It was clear whoever set and foreran the V8's, 9's, and 10's were more than capable to send. The higher grades got progressively more technical without estranging smaller or non-superhuman climbers. Both boulders and roped routes seemed projectable if they were not flashable. The climbs were interesting enough for me to want to return to finish them. The addicting nature of the good quality setting is what I loved most about this gym. The facility is quite bougie. The staff and their friends make a nice atmosphere. There is a physical therapy clinic inside the gym. There is a very nice weight room with everything climbers would need. They have rings and good pull up bars. Upstairs there is a proper training area with two training boards, and a free hanging properly pitched campus boards and every hang board attachment you could want. There are yoga mats and all the calisthenics accoutrement. There are plenty of top quality brushes in the bouldering area. The bouldering mats are a little hard for my liking. I was having trouble committing at the top of the wall because the fall was quite hard, but not unsafe. The bouldering uses a V scale, and is pretty consistent. Overall the grading at this gym seems a bit soft to outdoors, and consistent with other gyms. The lead wall is truly epic, there is overhang represented up to "5.14d" which I'm not sure I can believe, but hard climbs are so hard to find, anything over 12d is greatly appreciated. The gym walls have a lot of friction. They have an increble selection of some of the newest holds on the market, many of which I have never seen before. The only negative thing about this gym was they have harsh financial rules. A day pass is $25, they offer no first time discounts or free day passes. There is an initiation fee, which is a pretty outdated concept at this point. Month to month members do not get day passes, and have other restricted benefits which seems super weird. There is not a trial membership. The bathrooms are always perfectly clean, however, the paper towels were often out and the shower curtain was a bit cheap. Other than that the accomodations were too notch. Generally the rates are high, however the facility is well equiped and very beautiful, the quality of the setting is outstanding, so there is a high value represented. One of the best gyms in America.

Fantastic experience: Such a cool climbing gym! I personally enjoyed the ropes better, but the bouldering was good too. Also, this is easily the most aesthetically pleasing gym; the wood paneling is super cool. Would definitely recommend!
