Top rope routes are very creative with interesting beta, theres a high concentration of 5.10a to 5.11d routes in this gym, so as an intermediate youll never get bored. They have lots of hard routes too, but not a lot of dedicated lead routes. There are several cracks, one of which is actually adjustable. Bouldering is good, but the beginner routes start are harder than other gyms. Santa Clara has more beginner options, while this gym has a wide and even range of problems. Overall the routesetters at this gym are A+ on quality. They have nearly every training board that exists, the bluetooth bouldering wall, full weight training gym with treadmills and everything. Facilities are fantastic as this is an old factory building on the edge of Crissy Field, and from the walls you can literally look out at the bay and the SF skyline. They had the windows open and there was a gentle sea breeze coming in along with tons of natural light. This gym well exceeded all expectations, A+ 10/10 bravo folks.

Nice gym! Great setting and super friendly staff! A little on the higher on pricing for a day pass and the sauna could be cleaner :)

I started climbing 45 days ago after a 2 weeks trial period. The first step was to take a belay class (free), then the belay test (free too) and then I was able to come either by myself (some people that are also coming by themselves, can partner up and belay with you), or with my partner to top rope or boulder. I feel that the quality and diversity of the routes make it possible and enjoyable to come every day.The place is rarely packed but I recommend to get there before 8AM or after 7PM.They use gri-gri instead of belay devices (compared to Touchstone) so it feels very safe.Some really good climbers come here so you can watch, learn from them and progress.Staff is great, and very helpful.

Amazing place. Can’t beat the views while you climb and they’ve done a great job navigating Covid protocols. The team coaches are just fabulous people as are the entire staff team.

This gym is in a beautiful and scenic location. And there is more than climbing here (Yoga, fitness machines, etc.). Ample parking on weekdays. Conveniently located at foot of Golden Gate bridge.

Absolutely love it here. My happy place. Amazing facilities and the staff are always friendly and willing to help. Two thumbs up from me. I just wish I could spend more time here. Like others have mentioned they just need to restock the bathroom and the review will be 5 stars.

Solid gym with good routes and nice staff.

Awesome place! Bunch of routes that are renewed every week. You’ll never get bored! It is usually not to busy, especially on weekdays. Stuff is very friendly and helpful. You can rent any equipment you need for climbing here. Parking is usually not a problem although it’s not free. However it’s easy to find a free parking spot if you don’t mind a little walk.

What a great place excellent climbing roped or bouldering its amazing also the shop inside is great . Also the gym looks good, but the changing rooms showers and sauna are great, as are the friendly staff .

Great place to climb. Also great for kids.

Best gym in the bay area period. Bouldering is completely unmatched by anything I have have been to. I have been coming here since it opened about a decade ago and the have redone walls, pads, and everything. Nice sauna too and the gym is right at the foot of the bridge so leaving the gym puts you right out on Crissy Field. 10/10.

This place is great. They’ve got everything a normal gym has plus rock climbing all in one.If you want a gym membership and might rock climb sometimes, it’s perfect.If you rock climb all the time and might want a regular gym sometimes, it’s perfect.Anything in between, it’s perfect.They change the routes regularly, keeping it innovative and interesting.They’ve also got a store for basics like chalk & shoes.

One of the most scenic climbing gyms in the world. When its a sunny day, theyll open up the front doors and let the air in. Plenty of climbing and a decent amount of regular gym equipment too.

Planet Granite is one of the best gyms Ive ever been a member of--awesome community, great climbing, friendly staff, clean facilities, great price, a better view than many outdoor crags...this place is the best.

I love the facility. The builders make amazing routes and the equipment itself is awesome. The biggest problem at this place is the maintenance. There are never any clean towels or soap in the bathrooms. On the weight and climbing floor the paper towels are always out and theres no way to clean equipment after use. This place could easily be a 5 start gym but come on guys. Please just restock.

Great place to climb, nice facilities and the price is ok. Lots of routes and walls.

Super fun wall, no fuss belay certification process, and an excellent bouldering area. Also there’s a gym? why, I don’t know, but i guess you can come here to work out off the wall if that’s your thing. You could probably find a better less expensive gym for pump metal, but as far as the wall goes, it’s a world class choice, at reasonable prices.

Its the best gym in the city. Ive been a member for 2 years and love the place. I mostly top rope but also take some yoga classes

Ive been here multiple times, and each visit Im greeted with fantastic staff and a great variety of climbs. Fairly crowded on weekends, however during most of the week it is minimally packed. If you are stopping by to view the Golden Gate bridge or any other close by attractions, this place is a great addition to your trip!

Who needs Tinder when you can just go to Planet Granite? Its not a total meat market, but it is a great place to meet other like minded people. The front desk is great about finding you a belaying partner if youre climbing solo. The culture and community rock! Located on the water next to the Golden Gate bridge you get some pretty fantastic views of Alcatraz and the bay when climbing. Gym is in an old airplane hanger leftover from back when the SF airport was on the Marina Greens. On warm days they open up the hanger doors so you can smell the sea water and feel the breeze. The problems are creative and well organized. They usually match the stones to be the same color for a problem vs. other rock climbing gyms mixing up the color combos and notating with the same colored tape. Drop in rates are a little expensive (~$22 more with gear rentals) If you live in SF consider a monthly membership. The monthly member prices are about as cheap as it gets when it comes to gym memberships for this part of town.

Been a member for eight years and truly appreciate this gym. Great routes, friendly staff, and yoga is excellent. The most fun you can have exercising indoors is climbing here.

Good Bouldering, top rope, lead, selection that gets replaced regularly and a few crack climbing sets. Molly is an amazing Yoga teacher try to catch her at noon on a Friday if you get a chance. Traditional gym side has 4 squat racks, good mix of free weights and machines, equipment for WODs.

Staff was really friendly and helpful. We checked in and were given equipment fairly quickly. There was a good variety of course challenge levels. There’s also a GREAT view of Chrissy Field and the bridge. Can’t wait to go back!

My children enjoyed their first try at climbing. The restrooms had showers and were spacious, as well as clean. The price was reasonable enough, if I remember right it was $6 for shoes and harness. You have to sign a waiver and watch a video orientation on safety. Most of the climbers we saw were experienced, but there were groups of children who were assisted by staff members. Who by the way, were extremely helpful, polite and welcoming.

Great gym and what a view! I dont get up to the PG SF as much as I should with traffic in the bay but thats not the gyms fault and I really should head there more.Theyve got some great routes and lots of high walls, a large bouldering area and a decent fitness space with cardio spread all over. Throw in having a shower in the city, steps from a view of the bridge (Ive watched the blue angels zip by mid route years back) and how could you go wrong. When the window / doors get opened up and the breeze comes in, perfect.Parking can be a bit of a pain, its not cheap and the place is not near a whole lot else for a snack or driving around but thats the price you pay for a solid gym in such a great spot.

One of the best gyms Ive been to in the state. The setters are extremely talented, and the variety on the walls will keep you coming back. They just replaced all the pads under the bouldering area, the place is always clean, and the staff is friendly and helpful.

Great climbing and a decent gym. The locker rooms and bathrooms could be better, but they have really cool routes and some really cool bouldering options. Also they have a parking lot and great views of the bay from the middle of the walls!I do recommend to go try this place out...

Great location and a super friendly helpful staff. They have plenty of variety for top rope and bouldering as well as some great classes and workout facilities. I would highly recommend this place!

This is a good climbing gym, but can get very crowded. The views are nice right on the bay, but only has paid parking around.

Its a nice climbing gym with excellent views outside. Parking is not free though and can be a hassle for South Bay people like me who are not used to paying for parking. There is a very good amount of both climbing and bouldering routes. I think the routes are slightly easier than the routes at the Sunnyvale location though.

Absolutely love this gym.People that attend this gym range from just families and their kids and babies to full blown climbing muscle machines.It has an amazing set of walls for both bouldering and top rope.The staff is very chill and the gym is kept impeccable.You have beautiful views of Crissy fields and quite a decent free weights area. I wish they could encroach a little bit into the open spaces around it for more gym space, or at least some outdoor stuff like tire flipping :)Love this place

A really great climbing gym with a very respectable top-rope area. Well graded routes, setting is actually well above par. Great height, looks to be about 55 feet in one section. Also has a pretty nice fitness area. The view of the bay is spectacular.

Great bouldering and top roping. Rented decent shoes for cheap and they were nice enough to comp me a chalk bag for the day. Plenty of space and the changing rooms are way better than youd expect. Great to have some sauna time here after bouldering as well.

Great place! Plenty of space to boulder. Great yoga classes (wish they had a few more Yin options - but cant complain). And the locker room/shower areas are clean with plenty of room.

Great gym. I am new to the bay and this has been my go to Gym. I love spending time around Crissy field and the views even from inside PG. Staff is great and helpful, routes get reset enough to keep my interest. If you can get on a family plan the price is very good too.

Great place to climb. The beginners Rock climbing course is very informative and thorough with lots of practical hands on training. Our instructor Ruben was excellent: answering all our questions and explaining all the steps and instructions perfectly.

An incredible, large climbing space with lots of climbing routes and bouldering for all levels. On sunny, beautiful days, the staff opens up the doors that front the bay, so when youre up at the top of the wall, you can checkout the breathtaking view. Theres nothing finer. SFPGs got a fully-stocked gym too, but it takes a distant second place to the main attraction.

Great place for regular climbers. Awesome facilities and routes, rarely busy, easy parking, great staff. I do wish there was a better selection of yoga classes.

Awesome. What a treat to have a place like that in the city. Scenery is epic, with open windows on Crissie field and Golden Gate bridge giving an outdoor feel to the whole experience. Countless high rise climbing routes. More bouldering problems than one could reasonably consider solving in months of full time practice... I loved it. Kids loved it. Team is pro and super fun... just visit SF and I wish we would have a place lije that back home.

This is by far the coolest gym Ive ever been to. They have yoga classes, amazing rock climbing facilities, and friendly staff. Theyll have competitions every once in a while where you can drink beer and eat pizza and socialize. Such a great place to come and burn some serious calories.

PGSF is awesome. The routes are fun and challenging and the location is gorgeous. The employees are helpful and knowledgeable, theyll answer any question you have! I wish it was a little easier to get there via public transit or that parking was better, but thats what happens with a location like that!

PG is the Four Seasons/ Ritz Carlton of climbing gyms. Ive tried to go to other gyms to keep up my skills when Ive been out of town, but nothing compares. Routes are changed every 6 weeks (sectioned off across the gym, so theyre always evolving), holes are always clean, staff is knowledgeable and safety is a top priority. They also offer great yoga and fitness classes. Plus, it doesnt hurt that you get to experience Crissy Field every time you climb!

The user experience is too bad in planet granite, compared to touchstone. The pad for signing waiver cannot work. It wasted about 30 minutes to sign it! The most important thing is they are totally not friendly! They only think about making money! You cannot teach others climbing and belaying here, while you can teach others in Touchstone. You cannot say they do this for safety because the belay test is simple and cannot cover all things. They only want to enforce new climbers paying for belay learning session! Touchstone is much better than them. You can teach others in the gym but the belay test is very hard. They require you to take tests more than one time to make sure you know all about belay. And require a lot of additional safety checks and actions. Moreover, different prices of passes and membership for different positions in PG! I want to remind you, please buy monthly membership in SF or Belmont instead of Sunnyvale! The membership is $120 higher per year in Sunnyvale than in other places! Also other passes! But the 10 visit pass only can be used in the gym you buy this pass! Overall, they only want to make money! Never care about customers! Please do not come to here!

I have been climbing for roughly one year now and have been to my fair share of larger gyms...Gravity Vault in New Jersey, some Touchstone Climbing Gyms in the Bay Area, and gyms in Cleveland and Pittsburgh...This gym is far and away the best one I have been to hands down. The location is incredible, the staff is wonderful, the prices are great for what you get (a full gym, tons of fitness equipment, yoga and fitness classes), and the people who go are awesome and friendly. Its not a stuffy gym like many, its just a beautiful open space and my god I want to go there all the time. It has everything I want fitness and climbing related and I want to recommend this to everyone!Touchstone gyms are nice too, but I gotta say PG ekes out ahead of Touchstone by a fair amount, mainly because of the people :)

This place is a rock climbers dream. Very high walls, plenty of routes. The bouldering walls are legit as well. They also have a comprehensive weight training room and yoga classes as well. Membership is definitely on the pricier side but I think that its worth it.

If you have a desire for amazing community and challenging climbs go here!!

A friend took me to Planet Granite for my first bouldering experience, and I loved it. Very friendly & fun atmosphere, and the view of Chrissy Field is amazing. And a decent fitness area for cardio & strength training during down-time.

Cleanest and nicest climbing gym in the city. Excellent routes rated well. Location is not the most convenient, but the beauty of it cannot be beat.

Great variety for top roping, lead climbing and birthday parties. Large area for weight lifting / conditioning / yoga. You can’t beat the sights here!

Expansive rock climbing gym, with great yoga classes and decent gym equipment.Memberships is a bit expensive (~$70/month), as is a day pass ($20/wknd day). However, day pass does get you into the gym to use all facilities: yoga, workout equipment, rock climbing walls. A fantastic Saturday or Sunday morning activity!

Excellent route-setting, great place to learn to climb, with a commanding view of the golden gate bridge. Not too crowded, probably because of the less accessible location. Not a lot of parking available, so bike or uber in.

Awesome location, nice variety walls, good setting. Usually not as crowded as other city gyms.

Very crowded at peak times.Expensive.Excellent routes, in general.Good yoga classes. Has strength and conditioning classes that I havent tried.Also has free weights, machines, and treadmills.

I recently became a member of PG for the climbing and yoga classes. The routes are numerous and well set (although the ratings are a little sandbagged, theyre at least consistent). Even when the place is busy, there seems to be a lot of options of climbing routes without the need to wait long.The yoga classes are top notch with classes offered at great times in 2 beautiful, clean studios. There are different types of classes to meet all students needs, but they definitely have a community of teachers and students that doesnt shy away from a challenge.Staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgable and I highly recommend this gym as a place to climb, do yoga or lift weights. Only downside is pay for parking, but the rates are really cheap and theres ample bike storage (feels very safe as well).

Not as crowded as Mission Cliffs and the route setting is better. Occasionally overrun with kids on the weekend but otherwise is a great place to climb.

This is the cream of the crop when it comes to rock climbing gyms. There are enough top roping/lead climbing routes that even during peak times, there isnt ever much of a wait. There is an equally large bouldering area, and the staff reroute everything very frequently. As an added bonus, they have crossfit classes that are included in the monthly fee.

After spending years here every other gym seems like a dark stagnate cave (Im looking at you Spot, get some fans). The HUGE windows and roll up doors give PGSF constant air circulation, and the best views of any climbing gym in the world. The setters are top notch, many of them setting at a World Cup level and putting up V14s outside.Yoga classes rival any yoga studio in the city, but you dont have to pay extra. Weights and cardio area as well stay WAY cleaner than almost every other climbing gym Ive been to.

I love this place. Ive been coming here since they opened in SF, and Ive been a frequent visitor of the Sunnyvale and Belmont locations, prior to that. Needless to say that I was actually pleasantly surprised when they opened PGSF. The layout and the clean, full gym setup with yoga classes and saunas is a real poke in the eye to competing rock gyms, which always seem too packed, sweaty and stinky. Its a great, old warehouse-style building (which was once a motor pool, I think). The roof was raised for longer top rope routes (50+ ft?), and the wall overlooking Crissy field is all windows, which makes for awesome scenery while climbing--especially, when the full moon rises over the City. There are some great route setters that are regularly changing all the problems on the tall walls and the extensive bouldering area. The workout area is really nice, with solid equipment, weights and gym bars that are useful for workouts geared to climbing. The yoga and core workout classes are some of the best Ive had. Great people and a great facility. The only thing that I can consider a gripe, is that my favorite gym is becoming too crowded.

Only went once and never again. Good luck finding parking (and paying for it). Gym staff werent very friendly and dont allow looking around the gym.

The best Planet Granite gym in the Bay Area. Beautiful views, huge bouldering and roping space. Youll have to pay $1.50/hour for parking before 7pm except Sundays.

A wonderful place to be. I was a member for 2 years - missed it so much Im now back at it. Great for both top-ropers and boulderers. Complete with 2 yoga studios, plenty of cardio machines and strength equipment. On a typical climbing day youll find yourself surrounded by friendly folk, good vibes and lovely natural lighting.The icing on the cake: Its located across from Crissy Field, which allows for spectacular views.

For rope climbing Planet Granite is fine, but for bouldering at the beginner level it doesnt work. There are no routes for beginners. It is expensive and only has paid parking.

People that climb there are super friendly. Staff is amazing in training and place is just amazing. Anytime again!

Love the yoga classes and climbing! Best gym membership ever, doesnt feel like working out, just like you are having fun, being active with your friends.

Great top rope and lead climbs. Lots of fun bouldering setups as well.

I had a great first time climbing. I went with two experienced climbers and they cheered me on.

Spacious bathrooms, tons of rock climbing and bouldering walls, ample space for working out. To top it off, natural lighting from Crissy Fields.

Great place for climbing. Amazing views across the bay

Spacious bouldering area with lots of variety. Only wish this was a little more centrally located.

Although a little difficult to get to on public transit, the Planet Granite located in the SF Presidio has a good variety of fun climbing routes.

Hands down, my favorite gym in SF. I just wish it wasnt so far from where I live.Clean locker rooms, nice weight area and equipment, and it never gets ridiculously crowded like Mission Cliffs.

As a member, I enjoy yoga, free weights, workout classes, machines all in the same place. Showers, lockers, and sauna: in sold!

I started at PG in Belmont almost 10 years ago, and was really excited for PG to open up in the city. The location offers beautiful views of the bay, Chrissy Fields and Alcatraz. There are huge roll-up doors so on sunny days it provides you with a feeling of almost being outdoors. There are lots of walls and options, but sometimes it seems like route difficulty can be inconsistent. If you go often enough you learn the initials of the staff and can see a pattern of how they set the routes. I wish there were more middle of the road climbs. I was there last and it seemed like there were a lot of 5.11-5.12 but not many 5.10s. I dont go as often as Id like so it takes a while to work back up to the 5.11 stage.

Super fun workout. Great view of chrissy fields and gg bridge. Sauna and yoga.

I started climbing at Vertex in santa rosa and coming to PG was an amazing adventure. This gym is amazing. find the cool little stuff that most gyms dont have! I wish i came here as a kid. The parkings isnt so bad. The views of the bay are unbeatable.

This place is amazing. The prices are worth it for a monthly pass. I went for over a year!

This is a large Planet Granite climbing and bouldering gym. This facility has hosted some pro climbing stars promo events and numerous climbing and bouldering comp finals.Parking isnt free like the other Planet Granite gyms in Belmont and Sunnyvale, though.

High climbs, fantastic bouldering walls, great view. Whats not to love?

Fantastic location with Golden Gate Bridge views

Becuase my daughter was haveing fun and becuase my son workes there and my daughter is a gymnast

I hate to give this place 5 stars because it means more people might join, but it really deserves the praise.Great staff, great routes/bouldering, free yoga classes included in your membership. Its awesome.My only gripe is that the weight area in the SF gym is smaller than both the belmont and sunnyvale locations. They do have more cardio equipment on multiple levels, and the location and views are awesome.Ive been to a few of the yoga/pilates classes and had a great time. Its not too hardcore, but still definitely felt it afterward.

Dear AllDespite community objections and an potential alternative tenant being available, Planet Granite has leased an ice rink in Culver City California and is closing it down to create a yoga center and climbing facility. This ice rink has been an asset for people of all socio economic and racial groups. It is a crucial part of a community that needs places for its young to go and exercise.Planet Granite can find other locations, this ice rink cannot. Do not pretend to be all earthy and liberal and then act in this way.I encourage Planet Granites membership to complain to the management of this company and make sure that they understand that these actions are not acceptable.Spread the word!!!!!Mike Snow

Great quality equiplen. Vast amount of boldering routs. Lots of cracks to paractice on. Plenty of routes even for crowded events. Also full gym and yoga rooms. Did i mention the saunas in each locker rooms?

One of the largest bouldering in-door gyms ive been to. Lots of variety.

Kids definitely enjoyed this place as a birthday spot.

Friendly staff. Great walls and kids camps too!

Best Gym Ive ever climbed at

Best climbing gym in SF... Hands down!

Climbing walls for kids and adults. Has a gym as well. Not really for tourists Id say.

Nice place both for bouldering and lead climbing

Great way to build upper body strenght

Great location, great climbing.

BEST CLIMBING GYM IN THE CITY

Great place to climb and workout.

Best indoor in the city.

You can lead hard cracks here!

Google gets this right now -- there are two Mason streets in San Francisco and Planet Granite is near the Golden Gate Bridge, not downtown.

Great place to climb

Great place to climb

Terrible management. Dont support this place. Go to Rockreation.
