"Overall it's a good gym. It's small so the bouldering area is small but it's dense enough to have plenty of climbs for one session. The ropes area is big enough and is also dense. There is lead climbing but Touchstone makes everyone sign a log every time they lead which is different from Movement gym policy. The shower hot water was broken. The weights and machine area is large and had everything I wanted. The work area has wifi and plenty of power outlets. In boulder grading this gym is about one step easier than Movement Santa Clara so V5 here in Oakland feels like V4 at Santa Clara."

"What’s up everybody, here to explain to you how touchstone and other big companies and corporations screw people over mentally and then go live happy lives while the people they’ve manipulated and gaslit struggle with fear and anxiety for the rest of their life: Touchstone’s “yogis” perpetuates the belief of “energy and the flow” and then use it as a tool to manipulate. What they don’t (or do) know is that this way of thinking keeps people in perpetual states of confusion and anxiety and in some instances can drive someone to homelessness or away from their friends, family and loved ones if "

"Decent weight room, nice but small bouldering area. Two price increases a year is ridiculous though - I am having to cancel my membership after 2.5 years simply because this place is too expensive now and no longer worth it. Removing the discounted yearly option is the cherry on top to make me no longer recommend this spot. Would be more cost efficient to simply go to another gym and get a day pass when you want to climb; would only recommend if you absolutely LOVE climbing multiple times a week."
