I bouldered for 30 minutes. Routesetting is 10/10 A+++ enjoyed the problems right up to my grade level, and saw some projects that made me wish this was my home gym. Everyone was super friendly and chatty, I made friends before my warm up was done. This gym brand bought all the Planet Granite gyms in the bay area, so if you've filled a waiver at any of those gyms, or any other Movement's, you won't need a new waiver here. My top rope cert also transfered. The facility is beautiful, all appears new including the holds. The only drawback was the price of the day pass which was kind of high at $25.
I'm new to climbing and just joined Movement last month, really for the bouldering in RINO, but have quickly found top rope climbing to be way more fun! The route setting is great, changes often, and I continually hear it's the best of all the big gyms in Denver. I 100% agree with other reviewers that the arena style seating makes it so much fun to watch others climb and the vibe is really friendly and inclusive. Plus, the staff is great - helpful with testing, questions, etc.
Great experience. Haven't been rock climbing in years and this was so fun! Highly recommend. Staff is really friendly and helpful
This review is for Cori, she leads such great fitness classes! I've only taken one tbh last night lol but I really enjoyed it and plan on signing up weekly! Also this is my main gym now that I live in the neighborhood. I only boulder and it's tiny and often crowded but still nice.
I used to top-rope on the regular ~10 years ago and needed a refresh! Intro to Ropes and Intro to Bouldering we're both really helpful, as was the free tour which gets you a free intro ropes course, btw. Still new to this gym but the facilities are great, the visitors are nice, and the staff has been really really friendly. Getting into climbing/bouldering is intimidating as you can't really practice in private... The course instructors are clearly passionate about climbing; they are engaging and personable, and really helpful/patient in sharing their knowledge with beginners. Biggest con here is parking, as the other reviews have stated. Even with my tiny car I struggle to find a spot. And the gym gets pretty damn busy at times convenient to my sched. I'd prefer to not have twelve people watch me fail out of V1s... Will update as I gain some experience and confidence.
Been to quite a few climbing gyms across the U.S. and was a bit disappointed. We came to the gym to boulder but felt limited by the number of problems and the space gets crowded fast. There weren't really any slab boulders, problems were quite finger-intense, and the holds have seen a lot of use to the point of being pretty hard to grip. ** Edited to add: I truly deeply hate when businesses, especially climbing gyms, don't produce enough parking for the number of patrons that they serve. photos added for reference as well
It's a good gym with awesome staff, but it's tight and crowded. It feels like there is always someone climbing on top of you.
Ick. For almost a $100 a month they could at least vacuum…
The weekend staff have horrible taste in music. You ask them to change to something that isn’t blues music only for them to play folk music. If I wanted a lazy weekend drinking, I could do that at home.
Although it’s one of the smaller gyms in the area, it’s still quite spacious with a large top-floor workout area with a yoga room, first floor seating and boulder area with various wall types, and a lower-level sport climbing area. Locker rooms are nice and clean with showers. The waiting area has nice seating and a climbing gear shop. It gets very crowded after 5:00pm, but I didn’t have a problem grabbing a fitness machine then bouldering around 6:30pm on a Tuesday.
