Sender One LAX is a serious, tall, and cavernous indoor climbing gym.With multiple climbing walls and forms.The also have an okay gym area and an excellent separate children’s area.Additionally, the gym sells snacks and shirts and has shoes for rent or purchase.

This place is awesome. This was my first time ever doing this and the staff members were super helpful. They gave us a tour of the place and gave their recommendations on where/how to start for someone whose never been there. I will definitely be coming back with my kids.

This place is awesome and love it however my negative review is because I quit my membership during the covid pandemic (which they said they they wouldn’t charge during). Now I have been noticing $10 holding charges each month during pandemic (yeah its still going on in LA) yet I havent been going to gym and just noticed this randomly going back multiple months without approval. I emailed them several months that i quit and remove my credit card. But these shady charges keep coming through. Shame that business practices get in the way of a great facility.

So we have been to two parties at this venue. Extremely organized really safe and my daughter who before she attended was scared to climb anything. As you can see from the photos girl power!!! Shines through in this venue. It appeals to all ages including Grandparents who stand around and supervise!!!! A real hit will be using it for my summer campers next year.

Great, Big, Clean, Gym! Theyre not officially open yet, but they have everything one would need to get their exercise in. This location is definitely bigger than their Santa Ana location. I go once a week, so if you ever see me around and need a belay, lmk.

This gym has HUGE walls! We took my niece and nephew to Sender City where they had fun kids climbs, a ladder to an outcropping where you then jump to a punching bag a-lá Ninja Warrior, and a big metal slide that they drop you from. So much fun! For the adults, there is a nice, appropriately rated top-out boulder on the second story (!) And a lot more bouldering on the bottom floor. I didnt do any top roping or lead climbing, but that looked insane. We, unfortunately, had to leave in a hurry due to the children and forgot to get our discounted 5-punch card, though.

Super cool walls. Pricier than other gyms. The best part is the lead/top roping areas.

The absolute best climbing gym that I have ever been to. And certainly the only climbing gym in Los Angeles that has a full-on kids climbing area!

My favorite gym in the world. Big indoor walls for top rope and lead. Spacious sauna. Well maintained and new.

The staff here is excellent! Especially Felix! We came in trying to show my three year old nephew a good first climbing experience. He told me he takes his nephews climbing too and gave us a free guest pass to show our little guy around. Thanks again felix! And the entire staff is helpful here as well! Furthermore it’s just an amazing facility that has everything one would need including bouldering, top rope, lead walls, extensive training area, and a good square footage of general gym machines. Kids area is excellent

Great gym! Tall walls and friendly employees. Great place to lead climb. Decent gym setup and yoga sessions too.

I was only in LA for 12 hours and after my initial visit I wish I had a longer layover. good routes and friendly staff. this place is awesome.. Ill be back..

Came on a 3 day visit to LA and had to check out Sender One. This is the best climbing gym Ive gone to in the last 10yrs. I climb a lot in the Phoenix metro area and we have nothing that even compares. The 2-level bouldering area is solid fun and you can practice topping out on the second level. Theres a whole area dedicated to training with hang boards and campus boards. But the main and most fun feature is their 60+ ft walls for ropes. The rope area is excellent. You normally cant find walls this tall unless you climb outside. You will need a lead cert to fully enjoy it though, but still there are plenty of TR routes that are plenty tall. Theres also a workout area and daily yoga classes (comes with your day pass) and a crazy looking kid area that Id want to go in myself (gotta pay extra for that). The gym layout, natural lighting, and attention to details really make it very enjoyable. I ended up going back the next day.Price of day pass was pretty steep, but it was so much fun Im looking forward to coming back with my AZ climbing crew.

This gym is great for lead and top rope climbing. Staff is amazing!

Love this place

Been there a year and it feels like a home away from home and not a business enterprise. The staff feel like family and the climbing is unlimited. It all starts with the authentic owners, Wes, Wes, and Alice whom are passionate climbers and empowering team builders.

Such an awesome, WELCOMING community of climbing enthusiasts of all experience levels. In addition to the amazing climbing/bouldering facilities (for kids too!), Sender One offers a variety of yoga classes (+ fitness facilities) so members can diversify their workouts.

Loved Sender One LAX. I was in town for the holidays and wanted to get a day of climbing in. Sender One answered the call. The gym is huge, clean, boasts amenities (training wall, kids zone, sauna, boulder, lead, workout area, etc., etc), but above all else I have to commend Sender One on their friendly staff.We worked with Ken a bit and he was a real joy to interact with. Not something that I have experienced in other gyms as a visiting climber. Usually, the opposite actually. Ken on the other hand was tremendous. He toured us around the facility, hooked us up with gear, tested us and set us on our way all with a smile. Thank you Ken.Oh! And if youre a new climber they can help you find a partner. Seems like a great community there.The gym is expensive (like many). I believe that its $24 for a day pass, $7 more for gear OR $85 per month. But still a great experience. Enjoy.

Big space with great grips and belay devices on all top ropes

This place is freaking amazing

Ive been a member here for almost a year and I can say this is a great place to climb! They set fun routes that have a good variety of styles. There are a fair amount of community events and the community itself is welcoming. The bouldering here is a definitely higher difficulty rating that other nearby gyms like cliffs and the top rope ratings are comparable.

Great rock gym! Feels like Chuck E Cheese— tons of fun and people everywhere. Excellent place to go if you don’t know anything about climbing!The staff are very helpful and are sure to correct you if they think you’re in danger of breaking one of the many safety rules. A great place for beginners indeed.Routes are often long, somewhat gymnastic, and have predictable movement patterns. Fight the burn! The rope routes don’t change too often (most seem to last 1-2 months), which is nice for those of us who travel but want to “get the send” before routes change!One downside though is the atrocious parking situation. Plan on circling the building numerous times, or get lucky. Apparently the $$$ membership doesn’t cover parking too...Can’t have it all I suppose!EDIT:The scene at this rock gym is better suited for entertainment and child bday parties than it is for outdoor training...If you’re serious about climbing and live in the area, read between the lines: this probably isn’t the gym for you. Unfortunately, it’s also probably your best option... for now.Or just go to LA Fitness! It’s certainly more affordable.

I have been climbing here for about 3 weeks now and its one of the best indoor climbing walls Ive been on. They have tons of well set routes for all levels, and the place is big enough where even if there is a lot of people there youll have no problem finding a route for yourself to climb.Their bouldering is very extensive and hold plenty of routes ranging from beginner to professional.The staff are extremely helpful and friendly if you have any questions or concerns regarding the facility.Overall I would recommend sender one to any of my climbing friends who want to get in a great indoor climb.

This gym is great if youre looking for roped climbing. If you want to boulder and come frequently, you might run out of routes (at your level) as the number of bouldering routes is small (at least compared to Cliffs of Id in Culver City, where I am a member).The facility is nice and they have a dedicated kids area, though it costs a fair amount. Unfortunately, kids under 12 do not climb for free, as they do at Cliffs of Id.

No parking, closing to members for multiple days straight for comps, expensive, climbs are way soft (8 grades softer than outside), requiring auto lock belay device, but i guess they do have good climbing for a gym.

Awesome place with beautiful and impressive walls, the boulder part is not the biggest but there are plenty of problems for all levels. When it comes to ropes is the best gym I have been in LA so far and like all climbing gyms the vibes and atmosphere are great. Dont be intimidated if it is your first time :)

The first thing you see when entering the gym is striking lead wall, “the torch”, tall and overhanging - an excellent tool to build power-endurance. But that’s about all there is good about the gym while shortcomings are many, I’ll arrange them in the order of inconvenience they represent.1. Lack of parking. As of the end of July 2019, when a neighboring office told SenderOne to stop using and abusing their parking lot, you’re likely to find yourself driving around waiting for someone to depart. This is especially inconvenient in the evening - the busiest time and if you park in the street, which is also not easy, you’ll have to leave before 10pm if you don’t want to get a parking ticket.2. Plastic floor cover in climbing areas. It’s bad for two reasons: leaves all the dust hanging in the air and gets the soles of your feet black, even if you’re wearing flip-flops. This plastic cover is the main reason why you end your day coughing out gray goo while trying to get your feet clean. Gyms that use carpet in climbing areas are way better in this sense.3. Poor bouldering walls and poor footholds in bouldering areas. The walls are short are the area is small, the combo that does not facilitate great training. And the footholds: dear route setters, in bouldering, plastic holds without a pronounced edge get polished within a couple of days turning routes into skating ground. How fun it is - to see your foot flying off a polished decal getting abrasions on your legs and busting your shoulder or a finger at the same time!4. Stingy management. It shows in many details: all the prices are higher than anywhere else, shortage of locker room closets that will force you to change in your car (provided you managed to find parking), press and hold water taps in locker rooms and so on. Seriously, having to keep pressing that damn lever on water tap to wash your hands doesn’t feel right in the gym that charges $89 a month.

Walls are huge! A wide variety of top rope and lead routes available. Theres 2 floors for bouldering and a diverse number of campus/boards that can change incline grades. Theres a wide assortment of workout machines and instruments.This gym has it all!From your friendly Adventure 16 member,Joe FloresPS They have a freaking sweet sauna setup! 🤙🏼

Im a member here and visit 2-3 times a week. The size of the facility, parking, and the accessibility are what make it stand out. One of the better rope gyms in the US (have visited 20+). Route setting is consistent in quality, and offers great grade spread on the lead walls. Lead sessions here almost feel like a day at the crag. Very happy to have this as a home gym.I think the boulder setting could be improved. Embracing volumes would enhance the setters ability to create diversity of movement, and trend away from a focus on difficulty through power - toward difficulty through complexity. The grade spread seems off, too. In sum: its not bad by any means, but somewhat repetive and, overall, a far cry from world class. I get a lot more from boulder sessions in many other gyms Ive been to.

If you want to get good at climbing come here. Its a workout and its challenging. The bouldering doesnt have much in the intermediate range but what they have is fun. The gym attached is surprisingly nice and has a pretty good free weight selection.

A month ago a review was posted talking about how the sinks are not working properly and they are still not fixed. It shows how low priority maintenance and cleanliness are at sender one. Bathrooms are gross here with black gunk in showers and rarely filled soap dispensers.

Top rope here is definitely better than their bouldering, but man is this facility impressive. Im a Touchstone guy, but Ill still drop dollars to come here for an occasional session. Dont get the impression that the community around the gym is as tight know as some other gyms, but Ive also only been here 5 times; might be sample bias

Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Nam and Cody especially. Plenty of room for everyone, even with a million kids running around on a Sunday. Layout is excellent. Lots of variety in the routes. Definitely worth your time.

First class for my 6 y/o and hes super excited and the staff is super nice. Brand new facility with tons of climbing space. Sender City for the little ones/open play / parties looks really great and one of the other parents here had great things to say, well put that on our agenda.

I love this place! Every time I go everyone is so pleasant and everyone is having a great time. Theres a lot of diversity in the courses and a separate area for those seeking just to do some training.

This place is amazing. The walls are the highest of any gym Ive been to so far and the routes are fun. Great way to build climbing endurance.

This is by far one of the best climbing gyms that Ive been to. The equipment is pristine and the routes are fun and difficult. Only one thing would make this better: a PA system to announce climbers looking for belay partners.

One of the best climbing gyms on the west coast, after visiting more than 20 different ones. Top roping, lead climbing, and bouldering are all strong here. Everything is clean (no greasy holds). Also like the hand scanner at the sender gyms.

Super great indoor climbing location, with large walls and climbing spaces for all skill levels, including kids. The staff here are great, and although it can get crowded, there is still plenty of space to climb. They have several training camps and kids camps, along with memberships! Parking outside tends to be full, but there is plenty of free parking on the street.

Great climbing gym, best one in the area for top rope/lead. Nice facilities as well with a workout area, showers and towels/shampoo, and also a sauna. Wish there were more like it in the area.

Hands down the best gym for rope climbing in LA. Tall walls, variety of climbing - lots of overhang/vertical climbing, but also a few slab/stem/arete sections as well. Routes are set fairly often - I go about 3 times a week and between ropes and bouldering, theres only a few days a month that I run out of new climbs.

Its a very calming and welcoming gym. the people there are very kind and helpful. there are upstairs and downstairs bouldering sections. there is also a spot for younger kids to play.

Great for lead climbing. Top roping can be frustrating with a ton of kids running around and in front of you when belaying. If they could keep the kids in a separate area, would have joined but opted for Cliffs of Id instead.

I go to a lot of climbing gyms. This place is very good. Largest indoor gym I think I have been in. Staff is awesome. Belay test was quick. Only things that they could make this place better would be a few auto belay for some laps and steam lineing the first time visitor process by having the orientation form autofill from the information from the waiver.Note for staff since they read the comments: All new waivers could be up for selection for an hour and the staff member could just choose from a list of names them the guest could initial and sign ad they do now but without having to enter the same information twice. Should be a simple change to make.

Ive been to a few gyms across LA, Denver, and Las Vegas, and Sender One is my favorite. Nice (and tall!) facility with super friendly staff. TR/Lead and bouldering walls are rotated often enough that I dont get bored, and I go around 3 times a week lately. Ive been liking the yoga and core classes.Small complaint is using iPads to sign forms and waivers. They suck and take forever - I dont know why this is a trend. Get some keyboards! : D

Amazing top route and lead climbing sections. Respectable bouldering section with new routes roughly weekly. Usually not over crowded with ample parking.

Finally got to cross this off my bucket list. Although I may have found a new hobby. Took the hour session Intro to climbing class. I would recommend everyone do so before starting out on the floor.I thought I could get away without taking this beginning class. Like how hard could it be to climb, but no, spend the money. They sometimes have a Groupon if youre tight on cash.The instructor will show you how to properly tie an 8/ fishermens knot, how to belay and other tips you will need to be safe while climbing. These are all life saving safety precautions, so please dont try to skip this session.After, the hour beginning session, they will allow you to climb with a partner at no time frame. Went with a friend and we took the hour session then stayed 3 hours more to climb. We had so much fun and tried some of the other levels.Other tips, I would suggest to get there 15/20 minutes early, as I went during a busy time, so it took about 5 minutes to find parking. There is parking located all around the building and on the street. You will also need time to sign a waiver and put on climbing shoes that they provided as part of that fee.One more thing, loved the staff and the instructor. All very nice! The instructor was very attentive, upbeat and made sure we properly were retaining the material before he let us climb on our own.Would recommend this class to all and cant wait to go back and climb!

Nice climbing gym, quite a lot of boulders, high lead wall, great climbing specific training facilities, and nice fitness / musculation area. They also have a nice & spacious space for kids.Really close to the airport, nice if you want to train for a bit before getting your flight!

Love climbing here. Great selection of Bouldering, top, and lead climbs. Staff is greatly interested in their jobs and work hard.

Its amazing. The climbing walls are really tall. They change them up often. You can lead or top rope be the bouldering is fantastic. Theres a gym also. The yoga is great. The gym is very well equipped. Opens at 6am. Its the best.

Fantastic climbing experience for kids and adults

OMG they have such tall walls there! In comparison to Cliffs of ID, they have so many more top roping/ sport climbing routes. They even have 2 story bouldering areas! Wow. Cant wait for them to officially open.

The climbing areas are the best of the best. Its like a climbing Disneyland. Two stories of bouldering, an absolutely unparalleled lead climbing area.Only complaint is the parking lot is WAY too small for the size of the gym.

My little three year old cannot get enough of this place. It has helped her build confidence and strength.

This gym has some tall walls. The top rope area is huge! Keep in mind that you are obliged to use a GriGri here and bring your own rope in order to lead.

Amazing top and lead climbing. Bouldering walls are challenging yet very fun. Locker rooms are very nice and the staff is extremely nice and knowledgeable

Ive climbed in 30-40 gyms, and this is one of the best. High quality route setting, tall walls for your alpine dreams, and a fully loaded training area. If I lived here, Id be a member.

Great place to learn top climbing. Connor was a superb instructor and I felt completely prepared as both the climber and belayer once the intro class was done.

Its a bit pricey, but you do get an awful lot of bang for your buck. The locker room facilities are excellent and the gym is *huge*, with two stories of bouldering problems and the tallest indoor top roping area Ive ever seen. I dont like the problems as much as Cliffs of Ids, but there is a lot of variety. I wish they didnt force you to use grigris.

This is a world class gym and it shows. I am happily a member, using the climbing, exercise area, and shower/sauna facilities as well.

Go-to climbing gym in LA. Clean with lots of great routes although the route ratings seem pretty soft.

Been a member with Sender for a few years now, been very happy with it. Its a bit pricier than some other gyms, but the quality of the facilities is excellent.

Thank you LA staff- so welcoming! Russ

So much fun!!!! Not my usual choice of activity, but everyone was so nice and encouraging and I really had a lotta fun! Thanks!!!

A sister location to the excellent Sender One in Santa Ana, which features the same neatly maintained, if a little high priced rock climbing experience. The LAX location features taller walls and a roomier layout, so for better or worse people are much more spread out.

This is a supremely righteous climbing gym. Its 4 stories tall at least! The bouldering is pretty challenging and they have a perfectly equipped gym for bodyweight training.Not enough parking, and I wish they stocked more food and some kombucha!

Accidentally rated three stars! 5 star gym. :)

Two boulders, 60 foot lead climb routes, clean air (no chalk dust), friendly staff, clean locker rooms, basic traditional gym area, kids are sectioned off in their own space (which is very nice). Only complaint: tis quite expensive for a membership, but the free hand lotion in the mens restroom makes up for the cost.

I couldn’t be happier with the huge amount of bouldering walls, amazing yoga with Sabrina and sauna before I left. Not to mention Derek at the front desk was super helpful!

Walls are great but it is absolutely unacceptable that they dont have ropes that climbers can use for lead. I have been to many gyms and NEVER, EVER encountered this problem. If they didnt spend so much money on there 100 or so unnecessary grigris they could have supplied the much more necessary ropes.

One of the largest indoor gyms in Cali. Great route setting. Huge overhung wall. Awesome staff.

Had a great time. First time climbing indoors. Cool vibe.

Fantastic Gym! Great and Friendly Staff. Tall walls and plenty of routes to keep you busy!

This place is huge! So much variety and different styles of rock climbing! Not to mention the full gym and friendly staff!! Great experience :)

Great top rope and lead climbing. Bouldering is good, too. Staff are great

Great climbing gym. Very beginner friendly, while offering plenty of challenge for experienced climbers.

This place is great! It has great climbing walls, great for kids, and staff are awesome!

Great place to climb. People are friendly and helpful. Lots of different walls to choose from.

Climb is in

Tallest walls! Best staff! Everyones helpful, and the place is always fun to go hang and climb at!

One of the cleanest and biggest rock climbing gym in LA. I would recommend this place over anything else. Sharma ftw.

Huge, beautiful climbing gym. The best top rope in LA.

The most awesome rock climbing in the area! High and steep walls for lead climbing.

Great gym but a bit expensive compared to other gyms of this caliber.

So fun. Everything is clean, well organized. The place has a sauna and a shower as well.

Clean and huge...cant wait til its all up and running!

Best climbing gym Ive been to in California. Friendly staff, great equipment, huge open gym area, honest route ratings (unlike other local gyms that rate hard routes as easy and drive new climbers away due to frustration).

Great indoor gym with a lot of bouldering and long sport routes, a bit expensive 24$ for a day pass

Great place and very friendly, helpful staff. 👌

Huge top roping walls, lots of bouldering. Mats are hard though. Has a kids Sender City and party room area.

Awesome facility! Great way to spend the afternoon

Amazing climbing spot

Awesome space, great staff, my favorite climbing gym so far!

Awesome rock climbing facility, and so fabulous for families and kids!

Checking out the preview!

Excellent gym for lead climbing

Absolutely awesome gym. Climb, Lyft, run, sauna, win!

Huge climbing gym with big walls that require big, BIG... Workout balls because the problems are so long and well thought out youre bound to get tired and full of a sense of accomplishment.

5 stars. Go and youll see why.

Friendly staff. Very professional opperation. Safety is paramont.
