Contract: Monthly memberships; the 1-month membership runs 30 days from the date of purchase. Cancellations and freezes are made online through My Account, and any change must be submitted before the first of the month or it is processed for the month after.

- Day passes are cheaper before 3:00 PM on weekdays, excluding holidays.
- The Access to Climbing day pass is available with current California EBT/MediCal and photo ID.
- Children 0-12 are included free on a family membership; children 13-17 are priced at the discounted rate.
- Members get three guest passes each month, which do not roll over: an Intro Pass (one per day, for a guest who has never been to a Touchstone gym, free; each guest may use one in their lifetime), an Anytime Pass (one per month, any guest, free, usable at one gym once a month) and an unlimited Member Pass that discounts the standard day pass.
- Memberships are bought online through the Join the Gym page, and changed online through My Account.

Good to know
- Prices at Metalmark and The Studio vary from the chain rate; check those gyms' own pages.
- The initiation fee is charged on top of the first month's dues unless it is waived by a 10-visit pass purchase.
- The 1-month membership is a fixed 30 days from purchase, not a rolling month.
- Guest passes do not roll over month to month.
- A cancellation or freeze request sent on or after the first of the month is processed for the following month, so the current month is still billed.
- There is no free trial pass; the cheapest way in is a day pass, and the 10-visit pass is what waives the initiation fee.
What you're paying for
Recurring gym access. Tier names vary; what changes between them is usually guest privileges and multi-club access, not the equipment.
The headline monthly rate rarely includes the annual maintenance fee or the joining fee, which together often add more than a month's dues over a year.
- Joining and annual fees sit outside the monthly rate
- Contract length
- Single-club vs multi-club access
Single-visit or multi-visit access without joining.
Off-peak day passes are common at climbing gyms and cost meaningfully less than the standard rate.
- Peak vs off-peak timing
- Whether gear rental is included
