OSO Climbing Gyms

Fantastic experience: This is a cool place! The staff is helpful and the circuits are color-coded to help you gauge your climbs

Fantastic experience: OSO is a large, indoor bouldering only gym. Their reading system is based off colors instead of actual grades. They had a good mix of easy to difficult routes. Most of their walls are vertical or slab with one section of overhang. I found that a lot of their routes were set with people with taller frames in mind and I, as a shorter individual, had a difficult time sending some of the easier climbs. The route setters at OSO also tend to set routes where you'll be relying on your feet a lot. There is a full gym with a good number of squat racks and machines. It looked like some fitness classes were being held while we were there as there was an instructor with students going through drills near the back of the weight training area. There is also a cardio section on the upper level of the gym with various cardio machines. The facilities are clean and well kept. There are lockers rooms, full bathrooms with showers, and gender separated saunas at the gym free for use. There is also plenty of parking on premise.

Fantastic experience: Not a seasoned or advanced climber (up to V4 if anything) but this is one of the cleaniest and we'll space rock climbing gyms I've been too. It has a nice and well equipped gym facility as well and it looks like it's always people inside the facility which says a lot. The staff are friendly and the bathrooms are clean with showers and sauna. Prices for only rock climbing for a day is I think about $20+ so may want to think of getting a membership. Overall I would rock climb here again!

Fantastic experience: Having climbed in bouldering gyms across the country, I can confidently say this is my current favorite. The facility is clean, problems are so fun, and the workout facility is top tier. Excited to call this my home gym for the next month. Thanks for doing what you do so dang well!

Fantastic experience: Came in to OSO right after flying in from Denver. Kyle was the person who greeted my friend and I. He was exceedingly professional and friendly. He gave is the rundown of the facility and made us feel right at home. If I ever come back to Dallas I'll be sure to stop by here again! P.S. the routsetting is pretty dope

Fantastic experience: Obsessed with this gym. The staff and the clientele are SO warm and welcoming for climbers of all levels.

Fantastic experience: This is the most welcoming, friendly climbing gym experience I’ve had in a decade of climbing at over 20+ gyms. It’s clean, has everything you need regardless of ability level. The setting is excellent and the color coding keeps it easy to understand. And I don’t even love bouldering. Big shout out to the gal at the front desk yesterday evening—you were gracious, easygoing, and clearly engaged in making it a welcoming, simple experience. Climbing can be a gentrified, cliquey sport, and what it needs most is friendly, unpretentious folks like you. Thank you for being that, and they should be paying you more.

Fantastic experience: I’m from out of town, and like to check out local climbing gyms when I travel. The front desk staff couldn’t have been nicer! I was ready to pay for my day pass, when instead I was offered a free week at the gym. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly- a truly inspiring environment. I’ll definitely be back when I pass through Dallas.

Fantastic experience: The staff here was very accommodating during my 1 week stay in Dallas. Amenities were well maintained as well

Fantastic experience: Great, new, clean gym. Staff were nice and helpful. The grading was supercool. V4-6, V6-8, and V8-10 worked really well for us. The gym uses circuits where all the climbs at a similar level are the same color. The workout area is very large and well equipped. We also did yoga and had a great time. They just installed new fans so the humidity is a tiny bit less. Love this place!

Fantastic experience: Let me start by sharing that I had never been rock climbing before OSO nor had I ever been to a gym. My husband and I went to OSO one day because it was close by and it sounded like a fun, indoor activity on a hot summer day. It has been almost two months since then and we are hooked, coming almost daily to rock climb. The facility is modern, spacious, and clean. They offer lots of activities and classes. But what makes this place amazing is the people. Everyone there, all the employees, instructors, and members are so kind. They create such a welcoming atmosphere. Shout out to Jared, Blake, Leigh Ann, and Kyle for always being so cool. Extra shout out to Nick for helping us improve our techniques and giving us so much confidence! Plus one more shout out to Antoine from I Am Lifted, who somehow managed to get me to start working out! We're new to Texas and don't have much family here, but coming to OSO has given us a nice sense of belonging.

Fantastic experience: We have been coming to Oso for about 3 months now and the welcoming atmosphere and staff have been fantastic. Nick, in particular, has always been helpful in making us better climbers and making Oso an enjoyable day for us.

Fantastic experience: This place is a must and you will not be disappointed!!!!! I was a member for over a year and moved far away, really missing this place. Yes it’s a climbing gym, but really sooo muuuchh more… My top things: 1. IAMLIFTED classes- they are so motivating and will make you feel like a rockstar after. Miss these more than I ever thought I could miss a workout class 2. Gym equipment- they have every you ever need 3. Locker rooms- they are nice and have a sauna 4. Rock climbing Can’t wait to visit Dallas again to come back here!

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Weights area has most everything you’d need, big yoga studio, lots of bouldering that they change up a lot, and they have a sauna. They have a great staff too

Fantastic experience: OSO had me OH SO impressed ‍ the facility is practically brand new, and feels so clean whenever you first walk in. I was acquainted with Alec the Asst. General Manager, and he was such a kind liaison into the gym. Had a great walk through, safety talk and introduction. Came in around 3pm (gym wasn’t too crowded) and had one of the best leg sessions, cardio, and climbing trio workouts in a while. This gym has it all! Can’t wait to come back and give the yoga and fitness classes a try aside from the bouldering wall! The hang board and tension boards were phenomenal. The way they decided to build this place makes so much sense and has such a nice feel to it. From the workspace and top floor bar and coffee shop on the mezzanine. To the elevated cardio section, (beautifully lit by these windows). It was a truly special experience. I wish I lived in Dallas so I could come to this gym more often. ✨

Fantastic experience: $22 day passes. Huge, super clean bouldering gym. Lots of routes though I do feel like their V0 - V2 routes were harder than I’m used to. Overall a great little stop on our travels through Texas. The day pass includes shoes and they had some chalk we could borrow. The real star of the show is their “gym” area and the locker rooms. Both looked incredibly clean and the gym had brand new equipment and a lot of it. Great gym, wish we had one this great in San Diego

Fantastic experience: I am impressed with OSO. I love Bouldering Project in Austin and Minneapolis. I've checked out other places in Dallas and I was disappoint to not find something similar in Dallas until I found OSO Climbing. First, I want to point out, staff members are friendly and welcoming. OSO, sauna, fitness gym, clean bathroom, and yoga. As for the movement set, they are challenging and fun, it's not big. Members at OSO compare to Summit are more warm and friendly which makes the atmosphere definetly have positive vibes. RECOMMEND and I will come back!!!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality , Value Carrie and Brooke are hands down some of the most passionate and soul and goal pushing instructors I have ever met. They’re energetic and passionate and what they do and their classes challenge you. I love everything about this place!

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym. I've been a member for awhile now and have nothing but good things to say. Friendly staff, incredibly clean, fully equipped weight room, a yoga studio, and even a bar now. The bouldering wall has a good variety of routes for all ranges of skill and the routes are changed at a good pace. Very friendly atmosphere as well, the community is really good.

Fantastic experience: Everything you could want in a climbing gym. Not just great bouldering routes, but coffee and a bar and a lounge. They have saunas in the bathrooms, too. Would definitely become a member if I lived near Dallas

Positive experience: As a total gym experience this place delivers on all fronts. A big yoga studio, a giant fitness room, and a cardio level with a bunch of different machines. In terms of climbing, the gym is pretty small and the density of climbs is low. The movement in each set is really fun and there's diversity in the setting but the grading felt soft. It's a young demographic so if you need a place to meet others its great. The amenities are nice: showers with fancy body wash and shampoo/conditioner, a sauna, and day lockers.

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome for climbing! The walls aren't that high, but there are no safety harnesses. There's only a large mat below the walls. This makes for a great free climbing experience! Membership prices aren't too bad considering that they include the gym next door. Those also yoga Pilates and other classes that they have daily. They changed the walls up every month, so it keeps you on your toes! They have a professional rock climbing guy set up the walls. The paths are all color coded by difficulty. There are seven or eight difficulties. Shoes are provided for climbing. And there is a nice sauna and bathroom with showers. I definitely recommend this place as a fun event for a group or if you just want a new experience!

Fantastic experience: I would live at Oso if I didn't reside 45 minutes away. Out of all the climbing gyms in the DFW-Metroplex, Oso is hands-down my favorite! The facility opened up about a year ago so it's very new. I love that everything is so clean and well maintained. The problems here are pretty fun. Oso scales by ranges (v2-v4, v4-v6, etc.) so it can be hard to gauge how difficult a problem actually is. Because of this, I've run into some very difficult easy problems and some very simple hard problems. Now when I come here, I just climb. The wood walls simply make me happy! The space is large so there are spots to study, play board games/piano, and chill. I think they actually have a coffee bar upstairs - no one was working it when I was there. The actual fitness area is pristine too. The equipment are very new and they have all the necessities. I would totally work out here on the days that I'm not climbing (if I had a membership and lived nearby). I seriously cannot rave about this location enough. Day Pass: $22 + Tax Monthly Membership: around $60/month + tax Note: Their membership comes with all access, fitness classes, and so many fun events! P.S. A one-week free trial is available for new guests on their website. Highly recommend trying out the gym! P.P.S. Check out the bathroom here. You will be amazed. P.P.P.S. Their rental shoes aren't great. Bring your own if you can.

Fantastic experience: Whatagym, I feel very welcome and safe here. It’s a very fancy gym‍♀️, but the culture and atmosphere is chill. I’ve had moments at Summit where I felt uptight or cramped ‍, but OSO keeps it real. I mean there’s a sauna and a small bar. There’s also not summer camps and kids everywhere, thank god. The staff pays attention and cares, and the routes are set very frequently. They bring in new route setters pretty frequently and it keeps things fresh . Sometimes I just go there to relax or shower because often it’s a mid point between my house and job or party. They don’t have potato salad or coleslaw but the Slow Bone is just down the road. Sometimes I empty out my chalk bag and fill it with popcorn chicken and it gets the fake rocks all messy gross! You’re also in the design‍ district, so this is a great place to exercise and clean up before you gallery hop . And if you forget the combo on your locker, just nicely ask someone in the shower to get an employee . It’s happened to me so many times and I’m so embarrassed, but the staff ensures you that it happens all the time, (it’s just me) I will be in only a towel and having to try to call the front desk or bugging other climbers.

Fantastic experience: Best decision I made for my health and fitness goals for this year. This gym is PHENOMENAL. Not to mention super clean and furnished with amazing amenities and equipment. You’ll find the friendliest people and staff here. All around perfect gym for climbing and strength training!

Fantastic experience: This gym is great. They have a good variety of setting styles. Good for beginners and advanced climbers. The walls are smooth unlike most gyms (less bleeding) . The pads are amazing; the seams are basically non existent. The employees are top notch in service and climbing advice. They also do a great job with covid protocols. Check this place out!

Fantastic experience: Before I moved to Dallas several years ago, I used to climb. Our neighbors told us about OSO, and we joined after the first visit. It is exceptionally clean for a bouldering gym. They have a sauna, weight room and fitness classes, so it makes for an all around solid choice for a gym. What really makes this gym great is the people! The staff are incredibly warm and knowledgeable. There are meetups of all kinds, and it’s easy to meet and make friends here. I can’t recommend their climbing technique classes. Rhea, Blake, and Daniel are wonderful at breaking down climbing mechanics and helping you read a route. Blake is always spot on with his recommendations and has helped me improve a lot. The coaches for fitness classes are great, too. Bonnie never fails to exhaust me with her workouts.

Fantastic experience: Great climbing gym! Friendly helpful staff. Large bouldering (only - in regards to climbing) area with lots of different types of problems for all skill levels and climbing types (static, dynamic). Most of the problems are in the overhang type wall, but many areas including balance type walls. A day pass gets you access to the bouldering gym and very large cardio and weight gyms. Very clean changing rooms (the whole gym is quite clean and well maintained) with showers and combination lock type lockers to keep your valuables in.

Fantastic experience: This gym has been a blessing to be a part of during the past year of craziness. They maintained strict guidelines during the height of the pandemic in order to allow members to climb/workout, but safely. The staff are all very welcoming whether it be upon arrival, mid-session, or even as you walk out the doors they are there to give you a wave. Well worth the cost of membership and so thankful to have found this place to "hang."

Fantastic experience: Awesome place to workout at! Choose from yoga, rock climbing or weight-lifting. The facilities are super clean, the employees are friendly and the new bar area was well needed Great concept!

Fantastic experience: Great climbing spot with a solid gym and yoga studio. Very clean and spacious. Staff are amazing and friendly as well.

Fantastic experience: Oso has become a second home for me and my venture to a healthier lifestyle. The gym is always clean and the staff is amazing— they take pride in seeing their customers get to the next level. The gym offers many classes from climbing, weights, to yoga. The gym features a sauna, showers, lockers, a kilter board, weight room, and aerobics area, and free bandages when you get scraped up climbing. The gym has bouldering beginner routes, all the way to v10++ extremely technical routes, no rope climbing, but there is so much more to offer here than just a great climbing experience.

Fantastic experience: This gym doesn't have any top roping but that's okay, top roping is climbing with extra steps. The gym portion/weight room was one of the best I've seen in any climbing gym. They have all the equipment you could want (dumbbells, mace, clubs, foam rollers, etc). The climbs are very fun but there aren't a lot of walls to choose from. Just pick a hard route and keep projecting it or check out the moon board! I can't think of any bad things about this gym except maybe adding more climbs and filling out some walls, but please visit if you have time!

Fantastic experience: Had a great time climbing at Oso. Being from out-of-town it was wonderful to get to climb at such a modern and clean gym. The setting was great and there were things for both beginners and advanced climbers to tackle. This would definitely be my home gym if I lived in Dallas and I would gladly come back for a visit!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been climbing for a couple years and this is the nicest gym in Texas hands-down. Great for beginners and great for advanced climbers. Plus the sauna & the full weight room with turf is a blessing. The Staff is very friendly and will help you with anything you need.

Fantastic experience: Awesome GYM! The incredible wall climbing is definitely the main attraction but this place has it all. Very well put together weight room and functional training gym, cardio machines, beautiful locker rooms, great hangout spots, a BAR and lounge overlooking the walls, friendly staff and more. Great job team OSO!

Fantastic experience: Great gym! A bit pricey for a singular gym and they don't have too much for training walls outside if a kilter board and a great campus area. They do however have some fantastic setting that pushes for interesting and creative moves!

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing! Where do I start? There are walls for days to climb, everything is top quality and super clean. I also have enjoyed having a full gym and classes to enhance my climbing endurance when I'm not climbing. Oh and the staff is always super helpful and energetic. I love the atmosphere, the meet ups they have make meeting new climbers and friends so fun! You've gotta try it!

Fantastic experience: Amazing climbing with incredible variety of bouldering routes. Great full workout gym & bathroom/shower facilities -well kept & clean. OSO Staff helpful & friendly, & made us feel they we genuinely happy to serve us as members. (Other climbing gyms that act like they are doing us a favor, & seem to forget we are clients) Great experience & definitely coming back soon!

Fantastic experience: OSO has amazing facilities, kind and welcoming staff, and great routes to climb. They’ve thought of it all when it comes to this place. The fitness area is top notch, I would even say it’s better than some gyms that are purely dedicated to the conventional workout. They have a beautiful yoga studio, free lockers to keep your belongings secure, and a hang out spot/bar with a great drink selection. My husband and I can’t stop thinking about the place. The only thing we wish is that they would build an OSO in Abilene, TX or expand to more areas.

Fantastic experience: I automatically get intimated of the idea of gyms. (I went to another climbing gym in DFW Metro and everyone was pretty skilled at climbing already and it wasn’t too diverse) There’s always new to advanced climbers at OSO. The meet ups can help you find your “people” that are on the same skill level as you. I’ve had cheap gym memberships (in the past) and never used them. Oso doesn’t try to upsell personal training sessions, merch, or other BS that $20 gym memberships do. There’s new routes, events, and meet-ups to keep you coming back. It’s a 3 in 1 gym (the traditional gym, climbing gym, and the studio upstairs). The staff is nice, Sarah and Jared are dope. It’s always clean. Accepting of LGBTQIA+ and black people. Pro/Con: Not really a place for young kids . With the bar upstairs and the proximity to downtown, they do cater the gym to adults rather than children. No kids running around is a pro for me but can be a con for parents.

Fantastic experience: This is the gym that got me into climbing. I'm only 4 months in, but the staff are always amazingly friendly and the facility itself is incredible, as well as extremely clean. I can't recommend this place enough. They have a fitness center, yoga classes, and climbing classes now too.

Fantastic experience: This gym has everything! I’ve been for climbing and for workouts - each time was a great experience. Very clean facility, comfortable atmosphere and friendly staff. I’ve been working out with my trainer, Taylor Roberts, for about 9 months and was so excited when he started training at Oso. If you’re looking for a trainer that pushes you, makes you stronger, and is well educated in health and fitness, Taylor is perfect for you! In only a few sessions I noticed a difference in the way my body felt and looked. I was mainly doing yoga and cycling classes before, but didn’t see real progress until I added these workouts with Taylor to my routine. Can’t say enough positive things about Taylor and Oso!

Fantastic experience: Love this place! The location is great because I live in the Design District! Every single staff member is so nice and offer feedback to beginners like myself. My boyfriend and I signed up for a year on our first day because we immediately loved the vibe and what they offer (fitness center, yoga, stretching area, good hours, nice merch) even if we have never climbed before :)

Fantastic experience: Loved the gym! The walls are a kind of rough texture which I wasn't expecting. It give you more grip to work with but you can also scrape ur knees on them. The people who work there are nice and helpful. Just wish their memberships were more affordable

Fantastic experience: LOVE THIS GYM! Everyone is so accommodating and friendly. Even the members are very friendly and non judgmental. People are more then happy to help, be it in the fitness area or working a project climb. Ample room to sit down and charge your phone or laptop while you rest for your next climb or just get some quick work in. Definitely worth every cent. Can't recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: Great bouldering gym! Weights area has everything you need for a good workout, it's clean and everyone does a great job of wearing masks and being respectful. Pro shop has all the necessities to get started and the gear is high quality. The routes are fun and challenging and plenty of walls to get different slopes and angles. I love this place.

Fantastic experience: Great time climbing here; not first bouldering gym I've been to. Very clean. Super friendly and helpful staff. Awesome amenities, though the steam room and shower are closed for covid-19 safety. Routes are well spaced, helping keep safe distance between climbers. Really fun experience.

Fantastic experience: There's no other gym in Dallas like this, it's truly a unique experience to climb, workout or just hang out with friends. Their fitness area is top notch! They have some proper weight lifting gear like power racks, free weights and high quality accessory machines. Staff is super down to earth as well, you'll love it here.

Fantastic experience: Incredible new climbing gym, very beautiful, clean and high end amenities like a sauna and locker rooms with showers. The problems are really fun! Staff is super friendly. They also have a yoga studio (not open yet) that is stunning. So excited about this place!!

Fantastic experience: This gym is absolutely amazing! By far one of the nicest facilities I've ever been in. The climbing area is massive with just about every climbing option available. The fitness, cardio, and yoga areas are clean and beautifully organized. The staff at Oso is one of the friendliest and most helpful I've ever met. The value you receive for your membership rate is unbelievable. I can't recommend this place enough!
