I had a membership here for about a year. It's a great place to go for a fun, goal-oriented workout. Bring friends, climb, and grab a bite in DT Burbank afterwards. They have shoes and chalk you can rent if it's your first time. And if you want to augment your climbing workout, they have cardio equipment and a weight section, as well as yoga classes. The staff are also very friendly and helpful if you have any questions.

Here's where I'm docking points: it's a little smaller and doesn't have as much wall space as a few other locations such as L.A.B., and as such, can get pretty crowded if you go on a weekend morning. See picture.
The price of membership is also pretty steep. It was $81/month when I joined and they raised it to $84/month soon after. Cool.
Here's why I quit: I thought I could climb AND get some cardio in, but they only have two treadmills, and only one of them works. The other has been out of order for months, despite complaints. I can't justify spending that much per month for the *chance* of getting to run.

I'd recommend getting a day pass ($25) and seeing if you like it before signing up.
