The Rock Gym

I joined the gym in the early summer and immediately wished it was air conditioned. That said, the Rock Gym is a great place to have an alternative workout to 24 Hour Long Beach. It isn't at all a place to cruise and I certainly wouldn't call it a gay gym (unless my gaydar is way, way off), but it is a perfect place to hone your rock climbing skills and push your body in ways you might not in the clubs. If you have a buddy, harness him up and climb some of the walls from easy to insanely tough. If not, practice your bouldering until a hot, shirtless, curious frat boy comes in solo and strap him into some gear. At the very least you'll get a great view of his rear as he makes his way up the wall.
