Really nice staff and great facilities. We need more places like this for our young people. The only negative is that it is expensive, which will price a lot of people out. They recently did a buy one month get one month free promotion. As far as I am aware though, they only advertised this inside the building. Therefore, people who struggle to afford to attend, likely wouldnt have known about this discount.

Amazing fun today! Thank you to the lovely staff. A special thank you to Scott who introduced #stuntmum (haha!!) to her first every time on a bmx and first time on a bike in about 27years with patience, kindness and humour! The boys are already planning our next visit with lessons planned skate boards and bikes. Lessons now accepted as a good thing to do. Highly recommend.

No mention that scooters are not allowed in the park anywhere on the website and after a long drive to get there and be told that I can't ride is very disappointing especially when the park is empty and no reason why scooters are not allowed in

Great for climbing. Good mix of top rope and lead routes aswell as some auto belays. The routes are quite tall, I've been told 12m but they looked slightly taller to me. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

I liked the climbing wall and AMAG fighting centre. However, we had to cancel a climbing lesson the day before due to an injury related to my girlfriends hypermobile joint condition.

We were told that we could not refund or reschedule unless we got a doctors note.



I get why they want to put people off cancelling last minute but I believe that this was extremely poor customer service in this case and we have not went back climbing since.

It goes a long way to simply respect customers enough to believe what they are telling you.

The buildering wall was not very good for anyone except for very skilled climbers. Also, no grade list or system - so novices can't start on one colour and work up the ranks, as some climbing places have. Just needs a bit of TLC and thought on some bits :)

Climbing: nice facilities, seems to have a bit of a local presence to it e.g. bouldering wall. Bit off putting. It's also very expensive but Friday nights it's discounted. Would be better if it was 4pm instead of 6! Help spread out a bit. Positives routes updated regularly and nice variety of leads n top roles. 3 maybe 4 auto belays as well

Great facilty, with friendly staff. I only use the Climbing Wall, so can only really recommend it, but the other activities available appear to be of equal standard.
The wall has a good range of lines, covering all standards, and varied styles. All equipment is well maintained and regularly updated. I've not used hire equipment myself but I've taught others who were using it and it's very typical. Not always comfortable, but good enough to use!
As others have said it's not cheap, and compared to other walls in the UK, it's expensive. That said, if you don't want to pay, there's plenty real rock in the area!

The interns are great and all the staff are nice and friendly. Also loving the 2017 Sumner camps. The rock claiming wall is amazing and the skatepark has endless possibilities. Never a dull moment. I LIKE TURTLES

Great place, used to skate here when I was a kid. Everyone is so helpful to as well as being professional at skateboarding! This palace is definitely a place worth visiting if you're into sports. But be aware that the park can get very busy at times and its hard to get a chance to skate/bike and whatnot. A lot of people hog the park to so it's always best to come back 2 hours prior to closing time! But over all this place is amazing!!!

We love this space and come as often as possible. Staff is always kind and helpful. Today however the experience we've had with a senior manager was appalling. He was rude, and verbally aggressive. Such a shame and one star is for that.

Friendly place to go climbing, proportionally more higher grade routes compared to other climbing walls I've been to but still some good routes for the 6a/b'ers like me, really popular so can feel a bit crowded at peak times

All the instructors are very good and friendly! We went there for whole winter and my son loves the place and we decided to have birthday party in skate park. There are a lot of issues with communication within staffs, poor planning and lack instruction to customers.

Absolutely shocked at this place!! My 10 year old boy was so excited to go here after i booked during the week and it moved my booking a day as its not open on tuesday the girl called back and was so nice and changed my booking to saturday. My wife took him down and was greeted at reception by the girl (who was very pleasant and helpful ) then some guy that works there came over and abruptly shouted at my wee boy NO SCOOTERS allowed which by the way isn't stated in my booking. He was devastated and in tears after this he wanted to just go home !!

Awesome

Transition extreme has fantastic climbing facilities. There are numerous walls with different levels of climb and at different angles. There are two heights of walls, a lower and a higher, so if you're afraid of heights like me, you can stick to the shorter ones. There are some auto belays which automatically catch you when you fall so you don't necessarily have to have a partner with you, however I would recommend climbing with a buddy so you can try out all the walls. There is also a bouldering section with many routes to try out. Finally, there is a new training area for climbing which has a variety of training equipment to improve your climbing.

Great indoor climbing wall facilities. Lots of 12 metre tall routes of varying difficulties. Mixture of lead routes and top ropes, with a handful of auto-belays for solo climbers. Bouldering area is quite small and limited though.

Went there today for a skate and was a tad worried that I would be out of my depth. Shouldn;t have been. All the staff I spoke to were very welcoming and helpful and I had a blast. Would recommend
