Rockreation was established in 1993, making it one of LA's oldest climbing gyms. You may feel it when you walk in—it's smaller than the city's newer gyms, with a small training area in front, a few exercise machines, and two walled areas for rope climbing. But the community of Westside climbers here is strong and goes way back. Classes are offered for new climbers, as well as yoga and fitness classes geared toward climber bodies. Rockreation also offers kids' camps, birthday parties, and corporate outings and team building.
