been a member for almost 4 months here. Big and tall walls, frequently updated routes. Nothing to complain about except parking.
Love love love my gym. Hard to even call a gym. Just a super cool, fun place to be and just enjoy the day/evening. There's something here for everyone, so climb on!
very fun place and a good way to practice. i really recommend you guys to come here
As of Jan 2019 - Nice gym, good variety of bouldering and top rope/lead climbs. Also good workout area and amenities. Daily pass is $25. Monthly fee is $80+, and there's normally a $75 initiation fee. Seems a bit high for a single local gym, but it's a good climbing community.
Safety is important here as you have to pass a belay check before you can top rope. Otherwise there are a few auto-belay devices. A large boulder lays home to plenty of routes for all skill levels. No rocks to land on, all crash pads.
The staff are great, rock climbing is really fun too. Plus the upstairs gym, and the yoga classes, it's great. For other climbers in the area, it's a good place to go to regularily, especially if you have a membership.

Took a class here. It was great. Nice vibe. Nice people. Don't know if rock climbing will be a hobby but it was nice to dip my toes. Ps. The shoes hurt.

Climbing gym extraordinaire! They have a wonderful bouldering zone followed by a billowing top-rope and sport zone with a huge range of climbs. Ample parking. Not to mention an upstairs gym, yoga studio, and now sauna, showers, and towel service. Plus they have wifi and sitting areas to work between play. Many an incredible staff member and friendly climber here. Best place to climb in LA.

Happy I chose to try this gym out with a 10 Day Pass before considering a membership! Out of four visits, I've had three awesome experiences and one poor one... Unfortunately the poor experience was my first time interacting with staff for belay testing. We had a group of friends testing, and Johnathan was doing our test, but unlike literally every other staff member I've interacted with (like Andrew, who is super helpful, polite, and awesome to talk with, as are most) Johnathan was not helpful at all during testing, seemed deliberately confusing and downright rude at points, such as getting personal with one in our group "you however clearly don't know what you're doing and shouldn't do this" rather than constructively suggesting they practice and helping to instruct the technique, as literally every rock gym instructor I've ever met (at Stronghold or anywhere) has and would do.
Luckily it didn't stop us from having fun bouldering! In fact, this gym would have earned a 5 star shining review were it not for that one staff member behaving unprofessionally.
As I still consider purchasing a membership, I hope I never have to interact with an employee like Johnathan again on my way to filling this 10-Pass. If such behavior is tolerated under the Stronghold brand, I'll definitely choose to spend my money on a membership at Touchstone Gyms or Boulderdash instead.
UPDATE 7.16.17
Got an email from Stronghold regarding my experience. Apparently we weren't the only ones who had bad experiences with that employee and he no longer works there! Stronghold was really amazing to reach out to me and offered me a few free day passes, which goes a very long way in my book! I'm thinking after my passes are used I'll for sure be joining the gym! :)
This place is amazing! This was my wife and I first time there and it was exactly what I expected. If not more. The staff was very helpful. Matt was very informative and provided tons of info and tips and ways to climb and different techniques. I would definitely recommend. Fair pricing for day passes. Met great people there too who shared some great experiences there and was great to meet other seasoned and rookie climbers.
This place is Huge! The staff is great, a lot of levels to choose from and they are challenging! Friendly environment too. We love going!
Love this gym! Great routes and a great community. Stronghold has the tallest walls in downtown LA and a great bouldering area too.
They are also very friendly and a great place for beginners and first timers.
I love the stronghold! It has a relaxed atmosphere and plenty for those interested in lead or toprope climbing to do. I don't boulder much, but the setup for that looks cool as well - there's a big wall that allows topping out everywhere along its length, and the routes are labeled clearly. No towel service, but the gym has showers and noticeably nice lotion, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.
Their rental gear is also of nice quality - petzl corax harnesses, which are much better than many I've seen at gyms.
All in all, highly recommended.
