| - A beautiful, brand new facility. Nice training area. Friendly staff. Owners who are involved in day-to-day operations. Just walking into this place you go, "Wow!"
Why a 3 star review?
THE HEAT.
I went to this gym's grand opening, excited to see what they had to offer. The owners that I interacted with were friendly and psyched, awesome! The route setting was lackluster, but I could have gotten over that had it not been for the heat.
What I could not get over was how incredibly hot this place was. I understand it was over 110, my car said 115 in the parking lot. Henderson gets hot...it's the hottest part of the Valley. Having a beautiful new facility to escape the heat and train when Red Rock is too hot, or even Charleston is quite warm, was something I know a lot of folks were looking forward to. When everyone who isn't even moving around are sweating bullets, when the fans aren't even turned on, and it was easily 90+ degrees inside, that is the point where the amazing things that the owners obviously spent a ton of money on are negated.
In an effort to re-hydrate after sweating bullets attempting to climb, even the water from the water fountain came out steaming hot. Granted, Origin had all sorts of beverages for sale in coolers, but I just wanted some water and had already paid $17 to come climb for the day.
The good news is that these are things that can be changed, and should be changed,,,,quickly.
