Welcome Home

Don’t join a gym - join a community built on adventure.

Bridges was founded in 2009 by professional slackliner + lifelong climber Damian Cooksey. Damian’s goal in creating Bridges was to share his love of climbing with as many people as possible. He set out to build a community where everyone felt welcome at every stage of their climbing journey - you don’t have to be a pro climber just to fit in.

When you climb at Bridges, you're greeted by friendly staff who not only smile, but actually remember your name. Here, you’re not just another dollar. Our members talk to each other, share beta, brush holds, and cheer each other on. We build climbers. We build connections.

Fresh Boulders 3 Days Per Week

Bridges is run by climbers, for climbers. We have one of the most experienced routesetting teams in California, and they hey have free rein to bring you fresh boulders three days per week.

The last thing you want at your bouldering gym is watered-down routesetting. Our routesetters offer challenging, engaging boulders at every level, so that our climbers can learn, and grow. The shared experience of cruxing out on a new set is what brings us all together.

Unlimited Access + Members Only Hours

Members get unlimited access to our extensive climbing and fitness facilities. Our climbing training implements include the Moon Board (2019 Layout), Tension Board, Campus Board, and modular hangboard systems with integrated pulleys.

We offer a range of yoga and fitness classes, along with strength training equipment like a 24' Rogue Fitness® rig and Cybex® weight machines. Cardio enthusiasts can use FreeMotion® treadmills, Keiser® Total Body Trainers, and Concept2® rowing machines.

​

Members enjoy showers and saunas with complimentary towel service, a mezzanine lounge featuring bar seating, plenty of outlets, and high-speed wifi, as well as a retail pro shop stocked with climbing essentials. 

Stay focused, stay balanced, keep pushing.

We offer a diverse range of yoga, fitness, and climbing classes, led by experienced instructors who are dedicated to helping you reach your goals.

We don’t nickel + dime you - all our classes are included with each membership option. Whether you’re a daily yoga student or just trying to get your butt off the couch, we’ve got you covered.

Kids Climb Free

Families that play together stay together.

That’s why at Bridges, your kids under 14 climb free with any adult membership. When they’re ready to take it to the next level, we’ve got youth programming for every stage of their climbing journey.
