A bit of context first - I’m only two months to climbing and this is the second climbing gym I’ve ever been to. So far, I love this gym. It’s a beautiful building inside and out. The staff is kind and helpful. And last but not least, they have everything you need at what I consider a ridiculous price. At one end they have a CrossFit gym section that outshines most actual CrossFit gyms I’ve been to. In the middle of everything is a big bouldering area with a lot of beginner to intermediate climbs. I mostly stick to V3s and V4s at this point but they seem to have plenty of easier and harder climbs. Near the entrance is where you’ll find the top rope climbs. I haven’t tried these yet but they look fun. Next to the top rope section is the weightlifting and cardio area. It’s a bit limited, but even at the busiest time of day you can get the weights and machines you want with little to no waiting. Sacramento is lucky to have Pipeworks and I’m grateful that I get to learn to climb here.
Dogs no longer allowed. Planned my day around climbing here since Im in the area for the week and its the closest touchstone gym, but I needed to be able to bring my dog to make it work. Showed up thinking Id be able to tie him up while I work out (did it in the past) but that is no longer allowed here. Management, please be aware that a no-dogs-at-all policy may satisfy those few folks who do not like dogs, but it basically means your gym is no longer an option for folks who need to keep their dogs with them on these hot days.
This place could have their own channel.
I did so much healing at Pipeworks. Im a cancer survivor. Thank you Pipeworks.
Nice, clean and spacious bouldering gym but pricier than others, I usually go to a different one in Sacramento thats about 30% percent cheaper . I do like going here a couple times a month just to change it up, would make this my primary location if prices are reduced
This is a great place to bring your kids to! They have something for every skill level: novice to advanced. 👍👍👍👍👍
Great space for climbing and acro. Awesome staff, clean equipment and priced fairly.
Hi! i’ve been climbing for about 2 years, and i have pipeworks to thank for my growth and love towards rock climbing, i can’t wait to take more vigorous classes!
Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Great route setting for all levels of climbers, both bouldering and top rope. More than enough gym equipment, free classes for members, sauna, and the other climbers are fantastic people to be around to help push your limits!
Love the experience here. tons of bouldering as well as rope climbing. yoga classes are superb and is included in the membership! cross fit available for extra cost. they also allow well mannered, non-barky, potty trained dogs as long as owners are monitoring the dogs and responsible. the workers and manager there are extraordinary!
Great place to go hang out and spend a few hours climbing. Especially in the summer if youre looking escape the heat. Its cold in the winter though. Bring sweats or warm up gear.
What a great place to climb. They have climbing opportunities for all levels of experience and are constantly re-configuring the gym. Every climb is a new experience. The staff and patrons are friendly and willing to help. I had a really great experience at this gym!
Homeless ppl sleep around the place and make it a little scary to me if I wanted to go inside wud I be followed or robbed they need security guards to keep ppl from sleeping Right in the side of the gates
Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Great route setting for all levels of climbers, both bouldering and top rope.
Awesome gym with separate top-roping and bouldering areas. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Great for all ages!
Great walls. Nice people. Busy location.
I love this climbing gym. They have 3-story high climbing walls in a historic building, but so much more than just climbing. Classes, sauna, cross fit...
Amazing climbing gym and more. Nice staff, comfy spots to hang out.
I dont climb but my son and his family do. He takes them as often as he can and his 3yo daughter loves it.
Great community. Also a great place for an adventure birthday party for kids!
Love this gym! 40 ft lead and top rope routes, full weight/cardio area, yoga, CrossFit and one of the best bouldering areas Ive ever seen! They have it all, in a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere with a great staff. Recommend this place to everyone in the Sacramento area
I went a few years ago and it was a lot of fun.

This place is amazing! The staff and facility is awesome as well.
I cant begin to tell you about all the wonderful experiences if had at this gym! As all the reviews state, this place is great and well run.
Our family has been coming to PipeWorks since 01/17. We initially got passes because two of the kids that we adopted had add/ptsd, and with the guidance of their therapist we decided that bouldering/climbing would train their sensibilities to focus and remain calm in challenging situations. Needless to say we have been completely taken back by the progress of our kids, as well as how kid-friendly this gym is. Vaugh Medford and his staff, along with the members of the gym have been nice, warm, patient, and kind to us and our kiddos. We cant say enough nice things about this place.
Rock climbing is a blast the Jiu jitsu class is a blast the instructor is very patient and knowledgable and the people that train are super friendly and helpful as well. I highly recommend this gym its the best deal in Sacramento.
Awesome customer service! This is a welcoming place for everyone!
Pipeworks is an awesome place. With BJJ, Crossfit, bouldering, top-roping, cardio equipment, and weights; I can get all of my fitness needs met. The friendly staff are a plus as well! Get your booty to Pipeworks!!!
