Vital Climbing Gym

This place is amazing. Excellent staff and great bouldering! My kids and I love it and always feel welcome when we climb there!

Been climbing on and off at vital for around 5 years now and it has been great. I’ve been to hangar 24 in Riverside and one thing that I always like about Vital is the 24 hour access as a member, being able to control the music, a water fountain (hangar 24 didn’t have one) and a top lift where you can lift and do yoga. Overall the vibe at vital is great with staff always there to help you with a route and the members there are great too.

Long story short, I was dragged out to the nearby casino against my will. I quickly searched up a close climbing gym, and found Vital. Well actually FINDING the place was a mission and a half (drive up the driveway and it’s the block to the right), but it definitely made this trip better. Susanna (sp?) was super cool and rad and helped me get set up with a day pass. The place was a good size, not overwhelming nor claustrophobic. I did a few bouldering problems, petting the store dog in between, and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I got stuck on one of the problems, and all the regulars came over and we all were trying to work it out together; definitely made me feel welcomed.
Definitely gives me a reason not to gripe if I come back to Temecula.

Climbing indoors with AC ²⁴⁄₇!!! They reset very often compared to other gyms and the texture on the walls just feel better then cemet walls. 5 out of 5 stats will climb again!

Normally I climb at hangar 24 in riverside, this is mostly a bouldering gym which is ok! I wish they had a few more tags for beginners! But that’s ok, I love how vital has so much and the atmosphere is amazing! I seriously think this is where I can spend my Friday’s! Their Studen deals are amazing! And have fun events!

I LOVE this gym! It’s actually pretty small and it’s only bouldering but the gym itself is pretty roomy and spacious. One of my favorite things about this place is the environment and atmosphere. The whole place has a super modern and innovative look to it which makes the entire gym pretty neat. The staff are super chill and friendly. The people I’ve met climbing here are awesome. I really enjoy climbing here. The free wifi and outlets are a plus. A place you can chill to do homework as well if need be. And you can change to a different pandora station that is playing at the gym while climbing too! I always look forward to coming here with my friends! Sending good vibes!

This is a great place to climb, friendly staff and no ropes I love it :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

I’ve been climbing at Vital Murrieta for the past few months. Awesome facility and staff, especially Bry. I can always count on her for some beta if I’m struggling on a route and she is here working. Definitely recommend this gym to others!

Vital climbing gym is awesome! I love their superhero Sunday, 5 dollar day pass with free shoe rental! The people who work here are awesome, especially Dylan!

This place is clean fun and the staff is great (especially) the bearded man. I recommend it for beginner all the way up to expert levels.

I can’t get enough of this place. My workout days are amazing and my recovery days are spent wishing I was working out. Please give it a shot. The customer service is on point and they make you want to be their friend. And one of the best parts is my muscle density is growing rapidly also I’m getting very cut and I don’t even realize I’m working out. It’s just a puzzle that has amazing rewards

Damn you JTree for being too freakin hot to climb in. Boo thang and I planned this awesome camping trip to JTree right before the Independence Day weekend which ended up being a 3 days vacation in Palm Springs at a cute boutique resort style hotel spending a lot of our time soaking up the sun poolside staring at San Jacinto Mountain reminiscing about our last trip up to tram and wishing we were touching the coolness of large boulders. English majors, please feel free to edit my terrible run on sentence.
We were feening a good climb after our intended 3 day climbing trip and Unilocaled the closest climbing gym… an hour away. You’d think being right in the middle of JTree and Tram, there would be a decent indoor climbing gym during hot seasons as these for training in. Nope. Anyways, we decided to come to Vital. Initially, I walked in and thought… Damn, this place smallll. After a closer look a minute later, I realized that there were a crap load of problems… good, technical problems too! They had awesome volumes that I haven’t seen, a top out boulder to the right, a long slack line dividing the room, a cute little training area in the little loft upstairs, and more… Day passes for non members were cheap and we overall had a ton of fun! Great problems and very friendly staff. Gotta love the climbing community!
Thanks for a rad climb Vital!

This is an awesome place to bring your kids it’s inexpensive, your kids are exercising and they don’t even know it, it also gives your kids something fun to do! You can sit on one of there couches or stools and watch, they have a little exercise room upstairs overlooking the place, the staff is super friendly they have a nice bathroom, and a drinking fountain, first aid kit, ice pack if anyone gets hurt.
We brought 5 kids (ages 6 – 15) one Saturday for 5 hours and they had a blast, they challenged each other, gave each other praises, helped one another, it was really neat to sit back and watch all them come together and work together as a team this place is great! And everyone had a great time!

I love this place… Best climbing and bouldering gym around! 24 hours, 100% laid back and it’s the honor system. I’ve been a member for over 2 years and haven’t been disappointed. There’s always new routes, and the staff are awesome

Awesome staff, great facility… you can climb and when you get tired, you can plop yourself on the couch and watch a movie! The people here are always really encouraging and friendly. The route setting is challenging, creative and fun. What more could you ask for in a bouldering gym?
Also, it is stupid to give a place a 1-​star rating because it doesn’t have ropes. Vital never claimed to be anything but a bouldering gym. It wouldn’t be open ²⁴⁄₇ if there were ropes… that would be too dangerous. And for the other reviewer complaining that Vital’s routes are too hard… maybe you should actually go climb outdoors and see how the ratings feel out there… HAH!
Vital rocks!

Great place to take your kids to boulder and learn some of the basics. They allowed us to go in and climb for Free on our first day. Since then we have been back 2 other times.
I told my brother about it and he and his son bought a membership.
The cool thing is you have unlimited access ²⁴⁄₇ with a membership. We are in the middle of football season so it just doesn”t work timewise for our family. But my 4 boys loved it. I’m sure we will go back after football season.
There are plenty of challenging climbs and also a host of easy ones for people who are just starting out. everyone in the gym is super helpful the staff and the other climbers. Great experience.

I’ll be honest, I’ve never really considered Murrieta to be a destination, but now that Vital is up and running, I’m pretty sure I’ll be heading that direction on a bi-​weekly basis. I, too, am a Carlsbad Vital member, and I love that Vital’s owners were able to preserve the intimate feel of their first gym in a noticeably larger space. It was awesome to see a lot of familiar faces and meet some super cool new folks during Vital’s opening day extravaganza, and it’s clear that the welcoming attitude associated with the Westerly location has traveled East with no problem. Friendly atmosphere and kick-​ass membership base aside, this gym is gorgeous and has plenty of space to sit and watch other people climb (or work on your computer with the free WiFi!). Espresso and snacks are also handy in case you need an added boost of energy to make it up the wall.
Most importantly, Vital has helped me to establish the confidence, physical awareness, and friendship group that now motivate me to climb both indoors and out. The routes in the 951 are varied in complexity and technique, but they consistently maintain a high degree of elegance and flow (which is GREAT since you’ll constantly be building your skill set as well as your bod!). I’ve become a better climber than I ever thought I could be since joining Carlsbad Vital, and I have no doubt that the new walls, cave, and top-​out boulder in Murrieta will hone my technique and physique even more!

I just left this place, and let me tell you: it is so exciting to have such a beautiful bouldering facility so close at hand! My husband and I have been driving to Threshold in Riverside, and the gas alone meant that climbing was essentially out of our price range.
But Vital Climbing gym is awesome! We just bought memberships tonight, and will be here on a regular basis. It has wonderful amenities, convenient (and unending) hours, and a very cool «fabbed» feel to the fixtures and appliances. Part of me wants to keep it all to myself, it’s that great.
Look it up and try it out!

I’ve been frequenting Vital’s bouldering gym in Carlsbad since they first opened their door and it rocks. The community including the climbers, staff members and the owners of the gym are all amazing and I have truly enjoyed spending time with everyone in and out of the gym.
Let me tell you people living in the 951, I am envious of this new location. There is many to highlight but here are a few:
18 ft walls
Top out bouldering!
Awesome cave problems
Campus board
Did I mention that facility is open ²⁴⁄₇ for members?
I have no doubt in my mind that this place will be THE place to climb in the 951! Keep rocking the rock Vital crew!
