First time visit at the request of my 12 year old grand-daughter and her 8 year old brother. Staff was supportive, welcoming and instructing both clearly. Kids had a great afternoon and I was able to watch/supervise from a comfortable seated position. They will return w/parents. I highly recommend.

I love my Qi Gong class on Sunday mornings! It is under threat of being canceled & I’m very unhappy abt that. Qi Gong classes are not easy to find, especially Medical Qi Gong, so this class is a treasure,; perfect time, perfect day.Check-in yesterday had a long line ; the technology didn’t seem to be working well.

I go there for their great Yoga classes but for what I could see, it looks more like a community than a gym. They got a vibrant environment and super friendly staff.

Wonderful place!I like that it is primarily bouldering. There are a few slack lines and a kids section for Belay. Friendly staff and community at Bridges

Great climbing gym with friendly service for my friends and myself, who are all relatively new to climbing. We had a blast and found a healthy mix of manageable and challenging routes

The staff member I talked to on Saturday morning was really welcoming and helpful and the Yoga class was fantastic. Bridges just has a good feeling all around. I'll be back for sure.

I don’t live in the area but I always make a point to come here several times a year. The setters do an excellent job and the bouldering comps are especially fun! Thanks Bridges!!

The employees are really friendly and tentative to everyone that goes through there and always let you know about events that happen there. The facility is kept in pretty good shape as well. My only problem was that the parking lot is a little hard to maneuver out of when there are a lot of people there at the same time.

For a smaller climbing gym, the walls and rec spaces are well spaced and designed. I like the slacklines, amount of workout equipment and the loft area. I would highly recommend however, replacing the bouldering mats around the walls. I recently sprained an ankle in another gym due to older mats, and having worked in a climbing gym myself, I know the importance of having good padding.
