Sender One Climbing, Yoga, Fitness & Funtopia

Hands down 5 stars, this place was so fun. My sis had a groupon so we came in on a
Sunday afternoon to rock climb. It was both of our first times and the class you take to learn how to tie the ropes and how to depend on your partner is really helpful. Our instructor was very nice and had lots of patients. After you get that down, you’re free to climb the walls. We climbed but since we were beginners we didn’t get that far up on the levels. The ones we did do, we made it to the top. Super fun activity for you and your family. People of all ages were in there. I would totally come back.

My girls had a blast! Something fun and different. Great way to stay out of the blazing sun. Nice and cool indoors!
On another note, I had an issue and the 2 staff members. The issue itself was not major but the customer service was horrible. Patrick Funk and Emily Bryce were the most unprofessional couple I’ve experienced. Both were making childish comments. Patrick even snapped his fingers and clenched his teeth at me like a 5 yr old having a tantrum. Emily being the «manager» couldn’t find her adult vocabulary and eventually started snickering. Not the type of customer service I would expect. My only request from Sender City would be to hire staff that actually have professional manners or send them to the corner for a time out. Lol!

BEST CLIMBING GYM IN ALL OF CA!!! They offer great walls for ropes (top rope or lead) and amazing boulder problems! Most top outs are not challenging which prevents potential injuries. AND they reset routes every week! Can’t get much better than that! 2 words: Chris Sharma

Don’t drop me, bro.
The last time I went indoor climbing was about 8 years ago, it was such a great experience that I took a break and recently decided to try it again. I remember why I took a break… the heights! I am fearful of heights. Luckily, this time around, I went with family that I trust. Keyword: Trust. It takes a lot of trust when it comes to climbing because one simple wrong move & boom! Dropped. Anyway, I came here while family was in town & it was tons of fun. We got a Groupon for an intro class & it was worth it! Our instructor was toned, well experienced & hilarious! The facility is clean and very spacious. So many areas to climb & be challenged. I love how each route is labeled a certain climb outdoors and it seems like it’d be a great place to do a «practice run» before going to the «real thing». Practice make perfect! The climbing community is friendly, supportive, & educational. Safety is big here, which is a great thing! They have a kiddo area for kids to start picking up the sport. It is a very family friendly place, you can even have birthday parties here. I definitely felt sore the next day due to the amount of body work needed to climb, but it was definitely fun & builds trust. Corporate companies… here is a great team building exercise!

If you’re looking for a place to climb indoors in OC, this is it. Right off the highway, plenty of parking, and everything you need to get started. We found their Groupon for a class for two and and all-​day pass which was awesome. In one hour, they give you a tour, teach you the basics of top-​roping, and give you some pointers on how to climb the walls with a belayer. All equipment comes with the rentals. After you’re done for the day, they give you a one time offer: 5 days for $ 60 (normally would be $ 110). We took it and have been back every weekend since. The walls are very exciting and challenging. The staff are very friendly; we started off with Scott and he recognizes us every time we come back and catches up with how we are doing. The «Sender City» part has children and families running around (a lot on the weekends) but it doesn’t really bother much; just goes to show how much fun this can be for families. I feel like I could climb here for years and not hit everything (still hadn’t even gotten a chance to fully hit up their bouldering lanes). They have events all the time that are very popular among the clientele. Lastly, their product selection is everything you need for indoor climbing if you’re looking to buy and get in it fully.
Bottom line: go here for sure. You’re going to walk away happy like I and everyone I see does every time you go.

This place was amazing! At a recommendation from a buddy, we (him, my daughter the climber and myself) decided to drive down and check this place out.
Staff: OFF THE CHART! So friendly and helpful.
Walls were fantastic. High and plenty of varied routes and problems.
I only wish it was not so far away!

Great indoor gym! Great for beginners too.
We got the Groupon – introductory class for 2 for $ 30. Class was an hour so that you can learn how to belay and strap yourself in. It came with rental shoes, harness, and extra chalk.
I highly recommend going with a friend so that you always have a partner. We got there a little early before our class so we had time to boulder a bit – which is a lot harder than it looks. I’m pretty in shape, but admit it was challenging. My poor girlfriend who isn’t the most fit person in the world struggled a bit but she still had a lot of fun.
We spent most of the time on the ropes. 3 hours later, we were pooped. There aren’t a ton of courses for newbies (the easiest level starts at 6) and the levels get progressively harder. There were still enough courses to keep ourselves entertained.
I would get membership if I lived closer!

Want to go indoor rock climbing? Live nearby or are in the area? Look no further. Kid or adult, this place is a blast. It may be tough for some people who are not used to rock climbing or are not physically fit in general. However if you’re a guy, you don’t have any excuse because literally I see skinny small girls who lead climb like bosses, and here I am barely able to climb a level 10 top climbing wall. I cry every time …
Anyways, if you like to meet new people and form some kind of community, this place is great. However I don’t like doing that stuff, and it’s fine. I just come with my friend and we just joke about telling all the buff guys climbing shirtless to put on a shirt. One day… one day we will earn our right to climb shirtless. ONE DAY!
Anyways, the only «bad» thing is that this place is kinda pricey. A regular gym is cheaper… I would come 3 times as often if I could afford a membership here.
After your first mandatory lesson (if you are new), they offer a mini deal which lets you climb 5 times (rentals included) for a cheap price ($ 60 total).
Once my 5 days of climbing promo ends, I don’t know if I will return based on costs. We shall see.

Got a groupon that was $ 25 for two people which included an hour class where we learned how to tie the ropes and basically keep our partner alive. We were also given a tour of the entire place. The coupon includes a full day pass, access to the gym, yoga class, and bouldering.
Morgan, our instructor, was super helpful and patient with teaching us everything. Now I’ll never forget how to tie that knot haha
I came on a Monday at 2 and it was pretty empty. It did start to get crowded around 4:30 because there were younger kids training but they’re insanely good so it’s fun to watch.
Definitely try this out! It’s such a good work out and they give you an option to buy a 5 day pass for $ 60 I believe.

A really nice climbing gym. The facility is clean, top notch and the staff is really helpful. It is an excellent place to learn to climb the classes are well run and there is a separate area for belay lessons.
The kids stuff is really well run. They maintain a high staff to kids ratio. The kids are well watched. Sender City is awesome. It has its own room away from the climbing gym. The kids are harnessed, auto-​belayed and get to climb on fun stuff. The after school program is well coached, the kids really have fun and become really good climbers.
Yoga has a separate studio. They have classes throughout the day. Everyone seems to enjoy them. I’m not qualified to say anything about yoga other than to say its fun.
If you already are a climber, you will love climbing here. They have bouldering, top-​roping and lead climbing. The routes are changed frequently and the setting is excellent. The gym is first class, and has state of the art cardio equipment, weights, weight machines, TRX, adjustable rings (my favorite), campus board (with half rung spacing), hangboards (including my faves, Moon & Beastmakers), Walltopia Adjustable System Board and a bunch of other to make you stronger. Sender One is an excellent place to train for your climbing adventures.

So my friends and I decided to get a Groupon to try out their introduction to climbing course, which included the class, a day pass, and equipment rentals for 2 for $ 30. In the class, they give you a tour of the gym, and then they teach you basic roping techniques to tie knots and do some belaying to start top roping with your friend. After the class, you do have the day pass for the day so can continue climbing with your friend all over the gym. At this point, you generally have access to the top roping portions, and the bouldering portions, though they don’t actually boulder with you during the class.
After this introduction, we were given the option to get 5 day passes for $ 60 with rentals, which my friend and I ended put taking seeing as it was only $ 12/​day with rentals. We are currently about halfway through the punch pass, and I will likely sign up for the full membership, which they waive the initiation fee for if you purchased the 5 days punch pass.
The gym is rather large, and there are quite a few sections to it, including the Sender City portion which is not included in regular membership/​punch pass but has to be purchased separately. They have yoga classes, a small area with gym equipment, a bouldering section, a top roping section, a section to do lead climbing, and relatively clean restrooms. I enjoyed most of the bouldering and climbing routes I have tried so far, and because there is such a variety, it keeps me from getting bored each time I go. As I get better I get to jump to the next level/​grade up and enjoy another selection of climbs and routes.
The people I have met at the gym have all been pretty friendly and cool, and the gym itself does seem to have a variety of events going on all the time, though I haven’t really gone to any myself.

This is my new favorite place! I’ve been wanting to come here since it first opened and finally it happened! I took an introductory Groupon class which provided all the gear and taught me how to tie all the knots and belay. The guy teaching the class was extremely nice. After the one hour class, we were able to climb for however long we wanted. I’d say it was a pretty great deal. After we took the introductory class, Sender One gave us the opportunity to purchase a punch card of 5 classes for only $ 60.
Of course, we purchased the punch card & have been coming back every weekend. Its definitely my new hobby. I love it and I wish I could rock climb & boulder every day. I feel like this place is very well kept and clean; especially the bathrooms!
They have a very small gym here and they offer lots of classes such as yoga and aerial and many more. There’s a monthly calendar that displays all of the classes. Every other Monday, there is a Meet Up where you can go and meet new people to rock climb with.
The only thing is that it is quite pricey. However, its extremely fun and I feel so accomplished when I succeed in the more difficult courses that I will definitely be continuing to rock climb :)

I’m hooked! Just like I am with snowboarding…
A few friends purchased the Groupon for 4 Intro to climbing and I decided to join them. I don’t regret it at all. Rock-​climbing and bouldering are such good workouts and is such a great activity to do amongst your friends. I would totally say that the Groupon is worth it.
After the Intro lesson you are able to climb as long as you want (until they close of course) but they do offer you to purchase for $ 60 5 more trips within 60 days with rental gear included.
This is definitely great value I would recommend everyone that finds climbing enjoyable to invest in it just because 1 month membership is basically around $ 90 a month.
Very fun sober fun activity! Highly recommend this place.

I’m a homebody with a penchant for Netflix binge-​watching. I used to have an obssession with fitness and maintaining my physique, but that went out the door once the hard college classes came about. Sender One is my non-​living symbol of motivation to get back into shape, and I’m obsessed.
There are two main factors that I feel motivated by this place: the atmosphere and amenities. The instructors and staff provide you with the knowledge necessary in order to succeed your climbing goals. It’s a learning process and you can see improvements in your technique with each visit. As a beginner, you can start off by learning to belay with one of the instructors. They teach you how to tie a Figure-​8 Loop Knot as well as a Fisherman’s knot on your belaying ropes. It gives you the feeling of being a true boyscout without all the homophobia. The next step is then learning how to properly provide tension to the climber and techniques to foster safety. The lesson is guided throughly which provides any novice ample time to practice and master the techniques. The staff are friendly and willing to guide your ultimate improvement in climbing.
In regards to the amenities, there are two main sections that I classify. The bouldering and belaying sections. Each region is marked by difficulty cards raging from 0 — 12 (I think). This classification allows the member to mark their progress from the day they start. Each route is changed constantly to provide new challenges for the member to accomplish. There is also an indoor gym with cardio and weightlifting equipments to further enoucrage your goals of achieving physical fitness.
OVERALL, Sender One is an inspiring place to work out at. The environment does not discourage, and there is a sense of community that comes with climbing. Support is one thing that does not lack within this gym.

Sender One is one of the best climbing gyms that I have visited! I got a Groupon for the intro class for my bf and me. It came with the rentals and the day pass for us. It was easy to book our reservation online. We arrived about 10 minutes before our class and had a quick orientation about the gym.
Since we’ve climbed before, the intro class was good for refreshing our belaying skills. I like that the class only had 6 people in it so we received a lot of attention. I really like that all the top rope courses have a Grigri already attached to the rope so there is no need to rent a belay device.
The gym is huge so it never felt crowded and we always found open ropes. The bouldering area is large too! There are good problems for beginners and more advanced climbers.
Great time at Sender One! We’ll be back!

Got a groupon for a 1 hour lesson as a double date with my sister and had the best time!
Chris was our instructor and he was really thorough and patient with us. The class does take a full hour and then you’re free to roam around and climb to your heart’s desire. We were pretty exhausted after about an hour or so of climbing.
There are so many different walls to try and it’s really impressive watching other people climb.
I would definitely recommend this place! It’s perfect for a fun date day and definitely teaches you how to trust your partner. #DidntKillEachOther

My boyfriend and I came here last night to do a Boulder climb. It was so much fun. We had to sign some waivers, and we got a tour of the place as well. This was my first time ever doing something like this and I had a blast. They give you shoes to wear and some chalk for your hands. They change the walls very often they said so you are never getting the same climb as the last time you went.
This place also serves as a gym, and believe me my arms were so tired after only a couple times of trying to lift my fatness up the wall! There were a lot of groups there specifically UCI’s climbing team! The people there are great, there was no bad energy in the place, did not feel judged on my capabilities or lack of capabilities lol.
My boyfriend liked it so much that he is coming back for their one-​hour class so he can climb the big walls!

This place is out of this world! It’s a beautifully designed indoor rock climbing gym located in Orange County that has a variety of challenges for beginners to experts.
Sender One definitely has some of the highest walls that I’ve ever seen, and given that I haven’t gotten around to all of them, I always come back ready for more! Every time I come out here, the wife and I love getting a few climbs on both the bungee wall and in the bouldering area. After climbing, I always like to take advantage of their weight gym and get a few reps in.
The great thing is that it is fun for all ages! I always see certain areas packed with kids. They have another area designated just for kids’ parties that I’ve always been intrigued by and want to try on my own!
Sender One is a must visit if you enjoy the sport of indoor rock climbing. The cost is a tad pricey per person, but it is totally worth it!

Talk about the ultimate playground. I’ve been to several indoor climbing gyms before but none like this. Truly a playground for the enthusiast or a beginner who has the slightest idea about climbing. Came here with a friend one evening and let me tell you, a good workout is around the corner. I happen to run into a friend who is an experienced climber. He gave us the run down on top roping and belaying techniques which was cool. This gym is spacious and has plenty of challenges for every level. They also have yoga classes as well as a traditional gym. Not sure if its around the clock but its there. There’s also an area designated for kids… and adults, too. :P
What is really cool is that everyone is friendly and courteous on the floor. Safety is everyone’s responsibility here. A few strangers offered me chalk before my climb which was pretty awesome. Had it been candy, its a different story. Stranger danger kicks in. As for chalk, meh… should be good. *high five.

I love this place as much as the climbing gym I usually go to from back home? Why? The spaciousness of the whole gym all is unbeatable. There are multiples of each level so that you don’t get bored. The bouldering is especially impressive, because you’ll find that even a level you’ve surpassed may be challenging at times.
There are a couple of cons, such as the intimacy to climbers near you. Because they really utilized the space efficiently, there are climbs that are too near each other, so one’s descent could easily interfere with another’s ascent if not cautious. It’s also not auto belay, so you need a certified climber on the other end of your rope to ground your fall. Still, if you come with a regular, it’s a nice, fun stress reliever.
Note: they also have a separate kid’s climbing area~
