Climbmax Rock Gym

Really great and in my opinion a pretty good value. Morgan helped us and was super patient. Good music too.

Old but gold. The walls and pads may be aging compared to the other gyms in the area, but the setting is super creative, and the wall geometry is great. Some folks might think the grades are a bit sandbagged, but they are aligned better to outdoor grades (which is a positive in my book). It's a no frills gym but overall I had a great time! Also, it's the best deal in town

Came from out of state, visiting from California. Decided to give this place a try while I'm here in the Phoenix area. Great rock climbing gym, staff was super friendly, and lots of variety on the walls. I'll for sure have to come back some time soon when I'm back here in the Phoenix area.

Amazing gym! The routes are super fun and it's so huge, so many routes to climb. The owners are very friendly.

Great indoor rock climbing gym, lots of fun routes

I have been climbing here since I was ~16. I am now 22. The staff has always been very friendly and helpful. I recently brought my best friends here so they could learn to climb, and they had a lot of fun. We've been back a handful of times since then. Over the summer, I was training for a climbing trip to the Bugaboos, and this was my go to spot. The first floor has bouldering and top rope routes. You can either take a staircase to the second floor, or you can climb up a cave that leads to more bouldering. There is a barbell, bench and other strength/conditioning equipment on the second floor as well. There are lockers/cubbies for storing shoes/personal items. And there is a water fountain near the restroom on the first floor. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone looking to learn how to climb, or to those looking for a gym to train at.

I love Climbmax. Ive been a member for maybe 6 months now and im glad i chose this gym. Truthfully, i first chose Climbmax because it was the most affordable option i could find, and to this day it still is. Ive tried many gyms now and honestly none of them have topped Climbmax. Not because they have the newest stuff or the fanciest setup but because the climbing is great and most important to me, the sense of community here is unmatched and cannot be bought. Climbmax is a family, literally. The gym is owned by the sweetest Emily and Sean and their kid who you will meet upon visiting the gym. They are a wealth of knowledge both of them teaching classes at the gym and running it by themselves. Emily has taught me new yoga poses for improved mobility and Sean has coached me through some great climbing specific workouts. Climbmax has made me proud to be a climber and I want to share this love with everyone. If you love climbing, you will love Climbmax, bring some friends it will be a good time.

Look, this gym has been neglected for years until the new owners took over. Yes, the mats need to be replaced, but this remains one of my top 2 favorite gyms in the valley and I've tried them all. I don't know if it's the old school vibe, the absence of modern holds (still working with the tape system which does wonders for one's beta planning and mental game), or the fact that among all the gyms, the walls feel like you are outdoors. I visited for the first time in years last night and dude some of those ratings are stiff which I loved.I'm seriously thinking of signing up for a membership. I also love the community feel - climbers help each other figure out where the routes go. This gym has massive potential so keep supporting them! They have a donation thing going for new mats.

It's been great. The owners are very patient. I'll be back

Affordable day passes and memberships, incredibly nice owners and guests, care and attention to the experience and atmosphere. You can’t get better than this.
