Bouldering Project - Springdale

📍 979 Springdale Rd, Austin, Texas, 78702

This gym provides a sauna and cold plunge for recovery and contrast therapy within its locker room facilities. Gym members note the sauna experience is frequently impacted by other users not following proper etiquette, such as entering without showering or using phones, which is attributed to a small sign with tiny wording. The cold plunge is available alongside well-maintained showers in clean and spacious locker rooms. Beyond these recovery amenities, the venue is a comprehensive bouldering gym featuring a massive climbing area with creative route setting and weekly route updates. It includes a full fitness area with Olympic weights, a yoga studio, and a dedicated mobility space. The gym offers a wide range of yoga and fitness classes, though members note the yoga sessions can become extremely crowded. Family-friendly features are prominent, with a large kids' climbing area, youth training spaces, and organized activities like parents' night out and birthday parties. The on-site store sells climbing gear, including shoes, chalk, and bags. The atmosphere is generally welcoming, though some members mention it can feel very crowded during peak times and note a mixed gym culture where it can be challenging to connect with other climbers. The facility also includes a mezzanine lounge area with WiFi for relaxing or working.
