Origin Climbing and Fitness

This place is huge, clean, new, and has a ton (I think actually like 500?) of bouldering problems.
Context:
I was in town for CES and hadn’t climbed in a week or so. I didn’t think I’d get a chance to climb so didn’t bring any stuff, but found a deal online that included rental gear (including chalk bag!) in the day pass.
Staff:
The guy who helped me out was super nice and patient. I’ve never rented gear before so didn’t really know what size shoe I wore in the rentals and couldn’t quite figure out the alpine-​ish rental harnesses. The whole staff was great — friendly and attentive but not in an overwhelming way.
Gym:
The bathroom is clean and they don’t allow you to wear climbing shoes inside, which is great (and I think the first gym I’ve been to that did this.) It makes a ton of sense so crap doesn’t end up on the shoes and then on foot/​hand holds.
The holds are all really clean and well textured (either well maintained, new, or a combination).
The roped stuff is pretty limited — I think ~40 ft tall or so and only a small section of the gym but includes lead, top rope, and auto belays. Bouldering is where it’s at here. There’s slabby stuff, compression-​y stuff, overhangs, traverses, and dynos on walls ranging from 10 – 20 feet. I think the only thing I missed was a real cave/​roof section — they had decently overhung routes but nothing really 90 degrees. Also no top outs but the floors are super padded and I never felt sketched out. In terms of difficulty, I found a ton of problems at the V3-​V5 level (which kept me plenty happy and occupied) but noticed sparser offerings at a higher grade. Could also just be that I wasn’t looking for it, but you could be limited if you’re a harder climber. (In which case they have plenty of training boards and a tread wall! anyway).
«Downside»: Because there were so many problems and I had limited time, I never really «worked on» anything — I’m pretty sure the minute I fell off something I was secretly happy because it meant I could go try something else.
Another minor thing — the walls are glossy so you can’t really smear (or maybe that was just user error on my part) so it was a different style of climbing than I’m used to.

Really nice facilities with lots of options. The staff seems really nice. I can definitely hang out here for a while and more than once. Can’t speak for the classes, but that will soon change.

Definitely the best designed gym in the city, don’t get more cutting edge than Origin. Love the gym and the staff/​owners are really passionate climbers. Highly recommend for those interested in climbing as well as experienced crushers

Started off with their awesome Groupon offer of 4 days and after that I was hooked. Now I’m a member, come twice a week and can’t get enough!
You never run out of problems as they change them up all the time. (I believe it’s weekly).
The staff is always nice and welcoming. There’s always someone at the front desk in case you need anything and often times I see them patrolling the gym making sure everything looks right.
The entire place is kept very clean, including the bathrooms.
The weight room is on the smaller side but the quality of what they have in there is great. There is a yoga room also with yoga classes soon to come.
They do kids classes and will train/​certify adults to actually properly use the climbing ropes.

My friend and I came in here the other day after our road trip to Utah. The facility was so big and diverse. There was a ton of bouldering and top roping. We had never seen the auto belaying before and had a blast trying it out. I definitely recommend checking this gym out!

Your climbing abilities will be tested and sharpened on the some of the steepest terrain to the most delicate slab problems you ever laid your eyes on. The facility houses 400 – 500 boulder problems and 100 – 130 routes with a 8 week turnover. A full weight room, yoga studio, and training walls are also at the ready.
The staff is friendly and very knowledgable about the disciplines of bouldering, sport climbing, and trad. Leading this crew are two seasoned climbers and route setters, John Wilder and Andy Raether, gentleman that needs no introduction.
The quantity and quality of problems at this gym is incredible~! Whether you are climbing v0 to v15, this gym is the place to be when you cannot make it to the crag or just need a haven from the elements.

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.

All I could want in a climbing gym. Gigantic layout with enough bouldering and route climbing to keep me busy several times per week – and new routes are set 3 days/​week so there are always fresh challenges. You have to see this place to believe it!

Climbing is for everyone, and Origin brings this sentiment to life. With over 450 boulder problems and over 120 roped routes, there is climbing to match any fitness or experience level. There is a large kid’s specific area and tons of kids programming including teams.
TruFusion Yoga classes are included in day passes and memberships and are currently every Tues/​Wed/​Thurs from 6 – 7 pm. Origin also has a compound weight lifting class on Wednesdays with a TruFusion instructor, but it’s an additional $ 10. The weight/​cardio room is always open for use though, as is the world class training center.
The facility is huge, over 22,600 sqft and it’s super clean and bright. Very welcoming.
Membership grants you unlimited yoga, free training and fitness classes, free gear rentals, hassle-​free purchases, exclusive discounts and sales, and much more. The gym is really easy to get to from either the 215 or the 95 and there’s plenty of parking.
Check Group-​on for awesome package discounts for beginners!

Great new facility, reminds me of a Seattle gym. It’s huge, pleasant, and has a variety of climbing options. The staff is helpful and a pleasure to deal with. They even have a nice little gym with some free weights!

What a great place to climb! The staff is very friendly and space is huge!!! They have hundreds of boulder problems, a bunch of auto belay, toprope, and lead routes. Their fitness equipment is brand new. Whether you are new to climbing or are a seasoned veteran this place has something for everyone. My favorite part of this gym is the «woody» or 45deg wall. Origin gives you the option to create your own route and add it into the big book of boulder problems. This is such a cool idea that I haven’t seen at any other gyms. So bring your friends and family. This place has it all.

I saw the Groupon offer & I loved it. This was my first time experiencing this so I thought it was fun & it was also a bit of a workout for me. The small walls (or bouldering) were a nice warm up & it made me realize my upper body strength is at an all time minimum. They have the walls color coded and labeled to let you know if it’s considered easy or challenging. The amazing part was the huge wall climbing that is something everyone should experience at least once.

Went today with a couple friends used the groupon. Its reasonably priced and easy to find. None of us are experienced climbers but we wanted to do something fun so we gave it a shot. There were many levels for bouldering (my favorite) as well as the auto belay which was fun but a little scary to me (afraid of heights) it was not to busy being as it was sunday so we had a lot of the wall to ourselves and it allowed us to try the harder level routes. It was clean and the mats were perfect not to hard not to soft. (I fell a lot) the staff was friendly and very helpful with tips. It was bright and well layed out the space is open and easy to maneuver threw because the floor isn’t all mats there are walk ways. It was definitely worth the money spent. I will be back for sure!

My wife and I flew to Vegas to check this gym out, as well as the competition. I work in the climbing industry as a Head Routesetter at a commercial gym and have over 20 years of experience. That said, this is one of, if not the best gym I’ve ever visited. The walls are beautiful, the hold selection is fantastic and it’s huge! They have nearly 400 bouldering problems as well as roped climbing. I really liked the variation in wall height, giving good opportunities for climbers of all ages and abilities. The routesetting is very good, with an amazing selection of easier routes for non-​advanced climbers. My wife climbs V1, and she had a great time. There are tons of problems in her range. The flooring is perfect, not too soft or hard. This is clearly the best gym in Vegas.

Origin Climbing is the most recent addition to the climbing gyms in Southern Nevada. Origin just opened today (05÷18÷15) to the public. I have been following the progress of the gym on Facebook and came last week for a tour. Came today for the grand opening. There are tons of fun bouldering routes, as well as top rope, and auto belays. Route turnover is supposed to be every 8 weeks! There is also an awesome climbing training area. Origin also offers yoga classes. I am still rehabbing an injury so I was only able to do a few easy routes today but will be back soon to try everything else. So far only con is price, $ 720 a year! If you are a climber you already know about Origin but if you are not a climber, go check out Origin for a couple hours of fun and you will soon be transformed into a climber.
