Poorly maintained gym, I have been working out at this gym for two months, the stretch area had never been cleaned since I came, I have been seeing same dirt, hair stay at same place for two months! which means they never vacuum the carpet! People are using the equipments but didn’t see anyone swipe it after practicing. Cannot believe this is the way the staff maintain cleanliness during Covid. I was thinking of sending kids here to have fun but after seeing all these I decide not to. Last, one of the front desk guy is funny, he see people walk in and out but pretend doing other things rather than say hi, this is really an interesting attitude to treat clients.

Really friendly gym. Fun intro class to climbing, highly recommend trying.

If youre a student, be sure to bring your student ID and you can get a nice discount. Both times we have come, the place was pretty crowded. However, there was always room to find some beginner level bouldering areas.

Over crowded, no safe climbing. You can see people crossover each other when they are falling, horrible...

Great gym with a good atmosphere, friendly staff, great workout area, and pretty good bouldering area. I gave this review only 3 stars because most of the holds are greasy and look like they haven’t been replaced in years. Not the best of climbing gyms, but it’s not even close to the worst either.

They have a new policy for drop ins as of 4/27/21. There are no longer 5 drop in slots at the beginning of the reservation block. I waited about 30min from the start of the reservation block and I was able to get in as a drop in. Bathrooms are open and clean, and the lockers are walled off. Overall I felt comfortable bouldering as people respected each others space, there was ample hand sanitizer and each wall was marked off.

Friendly, great atmosphere, took belay lesson great class an helpful info. Did I mention the walls. Took kids had a blast. Rented gear. Will go again.

Great experience! Really friendly staff and a great accepting community

Great bouldering problems and very spacious workout and training area.

Love this place. Buy your own gear and hit those bouldering and top rope walls! And if your bad ass enough, get those lead climbs! My only problem is that this place gets packed and it starts to smell like feet

Planet Granite will always feel like home. After two years in LA and many top-class gyms, I STILL miss Planet Granite. I think about it all the time.Why? Community! This gym is SO welcoming. I’ve made so many friends here— gym goers and staff alike. Everyone has something to offer here, and it helped me grow to feel comfortable on the wall *and* in the weight room.I’ve met people to climb with, lift with, adventure with, live with; you name it. Planet Granite is something else!

Fantastic staff, highly responsive to support emails, be here or be square.

Great climbing gym, but as a result uncomfortably crowdedThis location has bouldering, top rope, lead climbing, gym, yoga, and my favorite amenity: a sauna room

Planet Granite is one of the best climbing gym franchises, and this is probably their best location. They offer everything for top rope and bouldering, with lots of heady lead climbing walls too. They have the standard two part belay test for top rope first, then lead climbing. Tallest wall gets over 40ft. The setters are great. They do leave grigris on the toprope ropes, but bring your own rope and belay device for leading.

Lots of top roping, lead climbing, and bouldering routes available. Large weightlifting area with a good selection of free weights.

Large climbing gym and attentive staff

Big and beautiful climbing gym. Lots of kid friendly routes

Great place. Been climbing here for years.

Planet granite is awesome. Great climbing (tallest walls around and over a hundred ropes), great fitness, good community. Ive been climbing there 14 years now and their expect kids programs make it so my children are getting into it now, so theyll have us for another generation. Just an excellent place.

One of my Favorite Climbing Gym. I would call this my Home Climbing Gym. I started here when I was about 14 years old and just started climbing since. I enjoy all the fun routes at this location and also they have a nice Gym area and a yoga area. They also have a nice bouldering area which is what i am mostly on if i am there.

This is my home gym. Its probably the best gym in south bay all around. Its MASSIVE. It has 60ft lead walls, a lead cave, crack climbs, interesting wall features and volumes, moon boards, finger boards, fitness equipment, classes, friendly staff. From v0 to v12, from 5.6 to 5.13+. Love

The BEST climbing gym I have ever been to! Multiple bouldering, top roping, and gym equipment! The only con is that it gets VERY busy at peaks times. The back area is for 16 and up I believe.

This place is AWESOME!!!!! I recommend this place to anyone for a good adrenaline rush and work out.

It is a nice gym but it gets very crowded

Awesome experience and place. Very kind staff members.

Big big climbing gym

My favorite place to be

Great place for rock climbing

Fun gym with a huge variety of options for climbing. My boyfriend has a monthly membership which allows for him to bring 1 guest per month so I get to join once in a while.Considering I have 0 climbing experience, this gym allows for learning and experimenting with no judgement. Everyone seems supportive and helpful as you climb!

Great climbing gym, but often very crowded on week nights or weekends.They also have a full gym, so you can get all your work out needs in one spot!

Sooo expensive here. We got a day pass (my husband and I) and it was like 70 dollars for us to climb! We even brought all our own gear!! This was pre-covid in January. We gladly went back to Pacific Edge.

Awesome!

This place is amazing, I took a belay class and its was fun and meet a couple other people. It was a great way to learn how to belay and the staff was really nice and great. I was super nervous but after learning the basics I got hyped and excited to start climbing my first wall. Overall AN AMAZING PLACE TO ROCK CLIMB.

Amazing gym. My new favorite gym in the Bay area. I especially like the back area which is open to the nice patios outside. Huuge selection of squat racks and weights. Locker room was very clean and well kept. This place makes me want to move to Sunnyvale

Staff member was so rude with us(Austin)He just threw his cap with anger in front of us.

Fantastic selection of routes that change with good frequency. There’s always something new and challenging to try out. I haven’t tried the classes myself but yoga had a lot of enthusiasts. I love going there for the sauna that both male and female locker rooms have. It’s much hotter than the one at a regular gym.

People saying this is an awesome gym are not coming here during the weeknight rush. Im happy with the setting, and the space is huge with a variety of climbs that you could never get tired of — but, woah, is it crowded. When I went, it was packed so much that I didnt feel safe climbing. And I was there for 2 hours...a relentless stream of people coming in every moment. Go to The Studio in San Jose. Much more relaxed, and much less crowded.

Awesome gym. Good setting and lots of variety of walls for toprope + bouldering, including cracks. Crazy packed in the evening but you can still always find something to do. Only downside is the brown walls look kind of ugly nowadays but not much you can do there.

We love PG Sunnyvale!

Love this gym! I usually only go early in the mornings because it does get really crowded. But the staff are always super friendly and helpful and the gym equipment is also decent.The best part is the amount of space and light that really brightens up the place and makes it enjoyable to spend 3 hours there!

Great gym that’s always packed. Great for beginners and experts. Many people there who are willing to help you learn. Great atmosphere and everyone is there to reach their own fitness goals.

The planet granite with the hardest boulder problems in the bay

It has good vibe. It is has good amount of space. Good yoga classes, and good workout equipment. The lockers is nice and they provide towels. There is rope walking too in outdoor area. The good thing is that you can switch between outdoor and indoor. Nice people go there

Great gym with excellent climbing. We went for a group climbing lesson and Joey was an excellent teacher. There is a great selection of walls and bouldering. Fantastic for both experienced climbers or beginners!

Im pretty mixed on PG. The staff are awesome, facility is huge, routes are usually amazing.... But its crowded as hell.Its an absolute zoo on weekdays after 6.But if you discount the crowds, its an awesome gym. Just wish they were 2-3x larger.

PG is a great gym with an awesome community and friendly staff. People here are generally courteous and have good etiquette. Yes, afternoons and early evenings are super busy, but that’s pretty normal for any gym. Mornings usually aren’t bad. I’ve been a member here for over a year, and they’ve been constantly improving the facilities here. It’s not cheap, but I feel like the quality of service makes the cost fair.

This place would be 100x better if they had auto belays.

Mixed review from me. Note: Been going here for a few years now.+ Usually theres at least a few really well-set climbs in the gym at any given time. They occasionally do really interesting climbs (recently set a volume challenge that was very fun).+ A good number of crack / chimneys.+ Walls themselves have enough interesting variation and features.+ Locker rooms are well-maintained and well-stocked, and offer showers and towels. Can always find a locker when I need it.- Typically extremely crowded on weekday evenings and weekends. I think they could improve this by adding memberships that only allow entry at certain times or charge a premium for peak demand entry.- While there are usually a good number of well-set climbs somewhere in the gym, the setting isnt consistently good. Often, climbs are just ladders of varying difficulty and dont make you really think too hard about it.- Rope maintenance/replacement is lacking. Most toprope ropes are very old, grimy, stiff, and generally painful to use. This could be improved by purchasing slightly thinner, more supple ropes, replacing or washing them more often, and especially not looping the rope around the anchor bar up top.

This is a pretty great gym for indoor rock climbing. They have plenty of different paths that cater to all sorts of skill levels. Overall it was a really friendly atmosphere as well with multiple people offering genuine advice and tips on different approaches. The one downside is that it can be pretty busy. If you dont mind working on an approach with a few other people taking turns you shouldnt find it too bad.

This is a really good climbing gym and Im happy to carry a year long membership at this location. Nice tall walls and a wide variety of routes and set styles. The only thing that holds this gym back for me is that it doesnt offer the down home feel that some gyms do but in return you get a huge selection of route, problems, and workout equipment.

Ive been a member for 4 years and I may end my membership. 1. Overcrowded. 2. $100 a month! 3. Car break-ins and management doesnt care. 4. Not enough lockers. 5. No one cares about safety. How can this place charge $100 a month with the number of members they have? There are so many other climbing gyms in California that are cheaper and so much better. This place needs to seriously expand. The Peak Climbing gym in Fremont is only $57 a month and has a much better community feel to it, albeit, it doesnt have the amenities that Planet Granite does, but you dont have to worry about getting anything stolen or waiting a million years to get on a wall.

Climbed here about a month ago as a first timer. I was a little nervous, but my instructor was amazing and I felt comfortable right away! Nice facility. A little crowded at times, so if you dont like that, check the hours graph. Nice gym area too. Had a blast!

Very disappointed with the slack line situation. It’s been broken for more than a month now. I’ve talked to the front desk about it multiple times and they still haven’t fixed it. This is not the first time it has happened either. It goes down for months at a time

I love some of the features built out on the top rope walls. They have a neat stalactite type formation. There is also an outdoor workout area with a slack line. I wish the bouldering was a little more built out but these gyms are amazing either way.

First of all, the website is not clear enough and there is no price list and I couldn’t even book it. It only requires to call. I called over 10 times in 1 hour and it kept rotating itself and no one answered the phone. Finally one guy answered it and I told him that my daughter was interested it, but she never been rock climbing so what is recommending for first time class and the price. Then He said “uh-hur, so what do you want?” ???DID HE EVER LISTEN??? I don’t know how they are GREAT, BUT I DO THINK they are lacking of basic principles for customer service. I won’t be there.

Great if you go during office hours (9-4pm), which is the case for me.Otherwise, its way too busy.Even at noon time during the week, classes are at full capacity.Restrooms are not large enough for such a crowd (for instance, only two sinks and toilet seats). Be prepared to wait in line.

Great place for bouldering and wall climbing. The staff is super nice and helpful, and the safety procedures make sense. Definitely would recommend!

Great place to have a fun filled day of rock climbing. The ambience is amazing and the prices are pretty cheap. During my first time coming here the staff was extremely accomodating. They also have a lot of space and a nice gym inside. The whole place is really well maintained too.

LOVE PLANET GRANITE - I often visit the San Francisco, Sunnyvale, and Portland locations! All praise for San Francisco and Portland - super clean facilities every visit. Sunnyvale is a bit lacking in cleanliness but friendly staff and ample amenities as well.

Pretty good place. Good for beginners as well. They have classes for kids which look pretty good as well.

Planet Granite in Sunnyvale is one of the largest rock climbing gyms in the bay area. That means they have a lot of selection for different types of climbs. In some gyms, every climb is really difficult with maybe 2 or 3 for beginners because the difficult climbs are more popular. At this gym, there is enough space to have tons of difficult climbs but also a lot of climbs 5.7 and below. I havent found another rock climbing gym with so many options for beginners.

This place is great! The classes are really high quality and the members have a lot of energy, which makes you strive to perform better. Worth the price.

I used to love this place but it has become way too over crowded and too expensive. It’s $98 a month and you only get one guest pass every two months. I am a captive customer as there is no other gym nearby but would cancel my membership to switch to another gym if there were an option. ( Mission Cliffs hope you are listening ;) )If you want to have a good climbing session you have to finish your session before 5:30 or else you will be waiting in line to climb every routeCirque Du so Lame !!

This place is like my home for the past 6 months.I took up climbing when I first moved here and immediately signed up for the monthly membership. There are new climbs almost every month (they rotate the walls they pick for path-setting) and facility is always clean.I also took a belay class (free for members) and a bouldering class here and they were both great! Now I still go almost every day and made some friends!

ATTENTION: please be aware that more than 1/3 of the climb site is not available!!!And the price is the same.Personally, this is not a fair deal. It is a fact that PG ticket is calculated based on its location and venue size. For example, SF is cheaper than Sunnyvale.Today when I was advising the staff that they should *consider* having a discounted price because so many climb walls are under construction and not available. He said it is NOT possible. Out of goodwills, I listed out my reasons why I think discount should be considered. However, he kept giving me “No”. Finally, I told him that I hope he can bring this up to the management team can discuss further.TBH, I expected them to *at least* tell me that they will consider this suggestion. But it seems like there is no room for discussion but a firm NO.To his fairness, he didn’t show that he was annoyed by me.I understand that PG charges more $$$ because it is in the Bay Area, but please do not be a bully.I used to love this place but not anymore. PG is too big and popular but is very insensitive to its climbers. Overpriced tickets, crowded space, etc.

Very large warehouse with lots of routes. Also have fitness equipment and classes there too. It is just so damn busy! Unless you go early in the morning, expect to be waiting for a route and be avoiding people everywhere you walk.

Great for bouldering the rental shoes and chalk is pretty cheap too. The prices are pretty much the same as any other rock climbing place but includes the gym as part of the day pass

I am on the Planet Granite climbing team and each time I go to a competition the gyms are nothing like PG. The staff at PG is helpful and kind, the climbs are challenging but fun and the gym is simply amazing. Planet Granite is like my second home because each time i come in I am greeted and the climbs are fun and if you fail you will become determined to sike it. And of course every once in a while there are new climbs that are always cool to try. Overall I think and also other many people think that Planet Granite is the BEST!!!

Just getting back into rock climbing and gave pg a chance (after seeing the deal on groupon).very nice layout, with plenty of walls/boulder, plus the lifting area, clean (but a little tight) change rooms/showers/sauna, yoga/exercise rooms.i guess everyone else likes it too, cause the place is _packed_ at peak hours, even though the amount of exercise equipment/routes can almost handle it.parking could be difficult as well

Not only is this the most impressive and comprehensive gym Ive seen, but their customer service is top-notch. Well done!

It’s a decent gym but I just tried to go boulder and the place is packed. I really wish they opened earlier and closed later on weekends.

Pros: Great routes, tall walls, plenty of lead, top rope, and bouldering climbing options. Yoga included.Cons: Distant staff sets the stage for a poor community feel, no temperature control (very cold in the winter, nervous how hot itll be in the summer. Staff does a terrible job of shutting the doors and windows even late into the evening in the winter. Gym was colder inside today than it was outside), poor top rope maintenance (Ive had to force the rope through the supplied belay devices with a 180 person on the other end), too crowded, insufficient parking, towels arent picked up in the locker room, and just too expensive to have such a long list of cons.

Ive been an on-and-off member for a couple years now, and Planet Granite has been a wonderful place to train. There are many walls with a wide range of types, heights, and skill levels. The staff has also been very plentiful and very helpful. In addition to the rock climbing, there is a wide assortment of other gym equipment, although I do not really take advantage of them. The price is a bit steep if you dont plan to visit at least 1-2 times per week though. If youre not sure about your commitment yet, try to find a member who can offer a free belay lesson (with remaining day pass) or purchase a day pass for yourself ($20). Also, the weekdays are very crowded, so try the weekends if you want more climbing options without waiting.

Nice staff but tends to be crowded and is quite expensive. A family package would be nice (with 2 adults and 4 kids under 14, it costs us an arm and a leg to go and no one gets to do much climbing since we have to belayers for 6 people). When my husband and I go together we like it but as a family experience were disappointed every time.b I would say its a 3.5 star rating

This place was fun! I went here for a birthday party. The only thing is that it is expensive and there is no one to belay you. I like Stanford because we can go for free, even if it is smaller

Probably the second best planet granite from a route setting standpoint, I think the largest planet granite, but not effectively; its so crowded with silicon valley techies after 5pm that you might as well just climb at the studio or planet granite belmont. That being said I love this place when its not crowded.

Professional staff and facility, they are the best! Very happy with my sons physical and mental development.

To crowded and I dont like Bouldeirng setting. And it’s the most expensive gym in California

Good gym, most routes are carefully set to guide your move. The downside is if you only climb there, you are less used to real climbing which dont always have foot placement at the most comfortable spot.

Nice facilities, and usually interesting routes. My favorite part is all thhe different angles of the walls that you can encounter on a single climb. Gets VERY busy in the evenings

Crazy routes, definitely for those with at least some experience at climbing. Gym is pretty great and I love that they offer yoga classes. You can get all of your workout needs taken care of all at once!

I didnt know bouldering could be so fun. I came in with a friends guest pass and had to watch a 5min safety video for first timers. Shoe rental is like $4, which isnt bad. It turns out bouldering and rock climbing is a social activity. You climb, wait for others to climb their set, when the coast is clear, you can go again. Its a fun activity and you can chat up fellow enthusiasts. They reset the walls every month too, so youll find something different. The only downside is the really horrible parking situation. Its SO PACKED!

Excellent for indoor bouldering, top-roping, or lead climbing. Problems are very well set for all sorts of skill levels. Plenty of other amenities, like cardio machines, free weights, trainers, and showers with clean towels.The gym gets overcrowded on weekday evenings, fortunately they open early in the morning for early risers and I can get in a work-out before heading to the office.-1 star for knowing they are in a market with few options and spiking their prices. Expensive monthly membership, plus you need to pay high prices for initiation, belay lessons, and so forth.

This place is climbers we wet dream come true (for a gym) friendly and knowledgeable staff, and friendly and helpful climbers. Route diversity and number makes it easy to learn different techniques without having to do the same route over and over

The rock climbing is awesome, though the gym leaves much to be desired. Its also pretty pricey! They do have a large selection of classed, though I dont have time to attend any of them...

Great gym, the setters come up with some solid problems. I love all of the other options you have besides climbing, cardio equipment, free weights, plenty of bar bells for your olympic lifts, plus the sauna this place has it all. One thing that really make this place stand out is how everything is spacers out, you never feel cramped... unless you try to go during the weekend.Only complaint I wish the staff and gym enforced people using the restroom with their climbing shoes on. It’s gross to know that the holds your grabbing might have piss splash on them.

Its a bit crowded most of the time. Otherwise good!

One of the nicest gyms Ive ever been to. They are always doing little things to improve, too. Its expansive, but still too crowded after work.

The setting and the walls are great, but its ungodly crowded on weekday afternoons. Overall this gym is the best gym in the south bay, but then again thats not much of a competition.

Update: Im really conflicted. When I come at 6:30am weekdays its a 5-star experience, but at 10am on a rainy Sunday morning its dangerously over-crowded. Frustrated lead climbers and slow beginners where the routes overlap just dont feel safe. Last visit I had to take my daughter down twice when lead climbers over climbed her. Given the demand I really hope they open more facilities in the area.Best (only) climbing gym in the area. Pretty good and immensely popular. Can get extremely crowded. Wide variety of routes and a serious workout area.

Friendly and helpful staff, constantly changing routes, and a large community of regulars. This place is the best of the bay.

Fun place to get a workout in.You can be shirtless, and everyone at this climbing facility is supporting.They have lots of different routes for all people, from beginner to advance

Great place for climbing. Huge space with tons of different options, natural lighting, nice breeze. You cant go wrong.

Overcrowded and expensive.Back in 2012 (when I started my membership) it was great - lots of free routes to climb, only $70 per month.Today its hard to find a route if you come in the afternoon/evening. Parking is a problem too, and the fee is up to $100.

Great for beginners! Love that its in Sunnyvale, but be prepared to look for parking for 20+ minutes.

Maybe it’s the wrong day/wrong time, but it was raining over the weekend when I went, and so crowded you could hardly find an open route. The mats are also extremely hard, nothing I would want to land on, by accident or on purpose. Not my favorite gym.

Absolutely hate this gym.Dirty, outdated facilities, staff that seem to do nothing all day (and play the worst music), way too crowded for bouldering (probably the same for sport climbing) such that you have to come in at 6AM to get some good climbing in (and even then its still crowded).Small bouldering area (and theres always some sort of crappy construction going on, making the bouldering area even smaller) and just a crappy place overall, definitely doesnt justify the cost of membership. Doesnt at all compare to other climbing gyms Ive been to in Seattle and San Francisco.Also the problem setting biases towards big moves and sketchy top-outs, so you wont be a balanced climber if you come here and youll probably get injured.Lots of parents ignorantly coming with their kids and letting them run rampant on the bouldering walls and climbing with their sneakers - the staff of course dont moderate this at all.Get it together!

Its an excellent climbing gym, theres enough routes and bouldering problems that you will never get bored. Theres also a slackline and extra pull up bars outside. The staff are friendly, the parking is free and easily accessible, and theres a good taqueria down the road for post climbing meals.

The only gym you can takes yoga all week long for no extra cost. I signed up for yoga classes and i love it very much.

Great top roping and bouldering gym. Enough fun routes for all levels.
