Fantastic experience: Great community and fun routes to climb

Fantastic experience: Always a fun time!

Fantastic experience: Great bouldering setup with tons of routes. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Everyone is always so helpful and kind; the staff and other climbers! The bathrooms are also surprisingly very clean as well! I could eat off them. I won't but I could. They change the courses every 2 months or so, so there's always a new challenge. Sienna was the one who gave me my belay class the very first time I went and she was very helpful and gave great instruction. Overall great gym!

Fantastic experience: All around a great gym! Friendly and accommodating staff with a great bouldering circuit and fun routes.

Fantastic experience: Had such a great time... Felt good to let loose after a Long good week of hard work then too top it off with a climb burn out Friday.. Feeling Good

Fantastic experience: Exceptional customer service and electronic response. I haven't been to this gym in a couple years but I do remember all staff being nice. They had everything I wanted in a gym including a free weights, yoga, and a heavy bag. This is all in a Climbing gym. Highly recommend this place.

Fantastic experience: I love the climbing lessons at this place.

Fantastic experience: Forgot I had forearms and calves until I came here. Woke them up in the best way. Cool place that's worth checking out

Fantastic experience: Went there through a program by my teacher, in my highschool years called "Project reach". Was a really great experience learning about indoor rock climbing.

Fantastic experience: Great fun for the whole family, brought the kids and they enjoyed climbing and the workout!

Fantastic experience: Outstanding!!! 1st time climbing, Amazing time with my son and nephew!

Fantastic experience: I wish they had some auto-belays, but a fantastic setup and a beautiful layout of different grades. I personally love the Statue of Liberty.

Fantastic experience: Fairly priced and well staffed, came in by myself before doing the research and found out they have no auto belay systems, but the staff offeres to pair me with a regular instead. I declined and opted for their bouldering courses instead. Great place and I intend to come back when business brings me back.

Fantastic experience: They were great with our 6 year old son. It was his first time climbing and the staff member was very patient and a great motivator when my son was discouraged or scared.

Fantastic experience: Great staff, friendly challenging environment, awesome experience. Highly recommend people quit their gym and go here instead.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism Really happy with this place! Treated my son with respect & we're polite with first timers. It gave him an opportunity to try something new & exciting.

Fantastic experience: Great experience! Pretty cheap, and great exercise. A lot of great employees, and plenty of safety features. Overall, a fun place full of challenges and encouragement.

Fantastic experience: Climbing, bouldering, top-rope, lead climbing, indoor gym, lessons, you get the drift. Only down side is the price but they have student discounts. Great place!

Fantastic experience: The staff is awesome! The vibe is really nice - this is a very social and laid back gym. The routes are better here IMO than in other gyms (there aren't a million holds on every route). This gym is also quite a bit cleaner than most other climbing gyms I've been to.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities, friendly staff. I always have a good experience coming here.

Fantastic experience: All vary nice and good people, nobody is rude and inconsiderate. All the people that go here are amazing, as well as all the staff that are fun to talk to and be around.

Fantastic experience: Been climbing here for about 6 months now. Everyone is so friendly. The routes change up about every few weeks or so. Great way to get a workout in that is actually fun. They offer so many classes throughout the week. Love it here!

Fantastic experience: Really cool gym to stop at on road trips to Yosemite or between SF and la. One of touchstones newer gyms and we'll work a visit

Fantastic experience: Excellent place to learn how to climb. Took my whole family.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly (and sometimes quirky!) staff. Good pricing for membership and fun route setting. I'm a proponent of stiffer gym grading, but either way the quality of the routes are excellent. The weightlifting area is nice, and I'm looking forward to trying some yoga classes while I recover from an injury. The new bouldering area is also on point. I come to rope up, but end up "warming up" on the boulders for so long it's hard to climb after

Fantastic experience: Awesome and amazing. So much here to do. If you don't know what you are doing then the staff are right there to walk you through it. Facility is spotless. The rates are very affordable and if you don't want to join the day pass isn't going to break the bank. Equipment rental is there if you need a surprisingly cheap price and it's in great shape. If you are looking to buy they also have you covered with comparable prices. If you haven't tried this place out you need to give her a shot.

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience here! First time ever rock climbing, and I love the applied approach to fitness it takes!

Fantastic experience: This place is great, wonderful atmosphere, no judgy feeling from other members. I’m pretty new to this, and I’ve never had any negative feelings from anyone while trying/failing a new route.

Fantastic experience: Truly this is an amazing gym and out of this world staff.

Fantastic experience: Top of the line Martial Art Instruction via the Academy of Jeet Kune School. Instructed by Josh Horne, one of the most well known JKD Instructors in the Fresno area. Regardless of what you want from Martial Art training, cross training in JKD is the best way to go. This also true for learning the most efficient self-defense methods in the world.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Lots of variety in the routes, plenty of overhang, and a lot of variety in the style of setting. Shoutout to Phil for being super cool and helpful! We’ll be back!

Fantastic experience: This is my home gym, and I have been a member for just about five years now. I LOVE THIS PLACE. I climb regularly, am a part of their running club, have attended several of their yoga classes, and attended many of their extra events like monthly nutrition clinics, holiday parties, and climbing competitions. Whether you want to boulder, top rope, lead climb, take a fitness class, or just use their workout equipment, this gym has it all. There's no reason to have any other gym membership, even though at first blush you may think the membership cost is a little high. Trust me, it's worth it. The staff is always very friendly and know you by name. They maintain a safe environment for everyone, and even choose to host adaptive sports programs once a month in Spring and Fall. All the other members at the gym are friendly - it's a climbing thing - so the environment is super chill. I love bringing friends here for the first time because everyone ends up falling in love with this gym just as I have.

Fantastic experience: Routes were awesome. Props to the route setters. 7/8/18. And awesome DJ for playing EDM music! EDIT: I left my blue hydroflask with a red Supreme sticker. I called them the next day and they are working on the logistics to bring back my bottle. AWESOME STAFF!

Fantastic experience: So I went here for a class field trip thing I had to do and I'm so happy that I went. I had a blast, I am a complete newbie to climbing so I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get to the top of anything, but I ended up climbing 4 different routes completely. They taught us all the important safety stuff so nobody ends up dead, and here I am, not dead, writing a review three days later. My only complaint is that is has been three days already and I'm still sore! But do I want to go back? You betcha.

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome! I wish they have this facility in my city. They cater to all levels

Fantastic experience: Staff is always awesome and they made me very comfortable and safe while bouldering and climbing.

Fantastic experience: New member. I love the atmosphere. The staff are cool and helpful. There is much more than climbing here.

Fantastic experience: Staff is friendly and so are the members. Always a good time and never a problem finding a belay partner.

Fantastic experience: Great climbing community here and really creative setters. If you are a climber and you are in the area, check it out. No snobbery here.

Fantastic experience: Best gym! Great facilities great staff and really good vibe! Keep it this way guys!

Fantastic experience: Great experience ..first time going..def coming back..

Fantastic experience: Great routes, helpful staff and full of fun, friendly people!

Fantastic experience: Great climbing gym! Love the height of the climbing walls and all the classes offered here

Fantastic experience: Great service!! Made for a awesome​ climbing experience, kids enjoyed the atmosphere and the walls are at the perfect height!! Will definitely be going back!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member going three days a week for 18 months now, and MetalMark has essentially become a second home to me. The gym is spacious and well kept, the staff are excellent, and there's so many cool perks make the pricey initiation and monthly membership fees worth every dollar. Now before you consider joining, it's handy to know that you're in for quite a few startup fees. First off, there's a $100 initiation fee for new members, but if you come with the person that referred you, or if you're a student, that fee is cut in half, so it's not way too bad. Then there's the first month payment for your membership, which is $55/mo. normally, and $45/mo. if you're a student. Those are the basic startup costs, and then for gear, it's up to you to see if you'd rather buy or rent. Renting is only about five dollars per visit if you rent both shoes and a harness, though I'd recommend buying, since it'll save you a lot if you're consistent with your climbing. Now the main drawback to buying your gear at the gym is the fact that they don't have a return policy, which is kind've lame, so I'd recommend going to REI in RiverPark (quite a few of the staff at REI happen to be rock climbers who are also members of MetalMark, so there's a major plus). Buying your gear will cost anywhere between $60-$150 for shoes (depending on what kind've shoes you get), around $80 for the harness, and $15-$20 for a chalk bag, plus $2 for a block of chalk (you can just buy your chalk at the gym). It's up to you to decide if all of that is worth the hefty startup investment. To me, it seriously was. I just bought all of my gear right when I started up and it was worth every penny. The members here are the most friendly people you'll find in the city of Fresno who are so encouraging and will help you to achieve your fitness goals and improve your climbing technique, the staff are very knowledgeable, they have all kinds of classes that are free for members such as yoga classes, fitness classes, climbing classes, 6am climbing boot camp (if 6am and boot camp are your jam), the climbing workout and climbing equipment are well maintained, and I just need to mention one more time, the members of this gym are seriously the best people you will find in the entire city of Fresno. I am not kidding. You will meet all of your new best friends if you come here regularly. I have no idea how to describe it, but this gym has an uncanny ability to create such a friendly and encouraging atmosphere between all kinds of people. Everybody is so laid back, and cool to talk to. You can just walk up to anybody to ask about anything and forge an instant friendship within just a few minutes. You won't find this level of friendliness anywhere else in Fresno. Anyways, I hope this review was helpful. I've been here for a fairly long time and it has been worth every dollar I've spent here.

Fantastic experience: Metalmark has such an inviting and friendly environment; it always feels so positive here. The routes are always fun and challenging. It also very clean and the staff is always helpful. Overall it's the best fitness experience I've ever had and I look forward to coming here 3-5 times a week.
