[[HIGHLIGHT]]I had a great time doing a free rocking climbing session with my friends![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was a free guest pass that they redeemed part of their monthly membership. It's a huge venue with lots of parking, it's multifunctional for climbing, gym workouts, and yoga classes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]You check in through a self service kiosk, sign a waiver, and check in with the staff for set up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You get shoes to use and a small chalk bag. Their shoes run a half size larger. Once checked in, you can find walls to climb! It's a fun, physically challenging experience. You may be afraid to fall but trust in the padding and confident in the proper way to fall. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good experience with numb fingers and sore wrists![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

It's impossible not to have a great time here! There are a whole range of fun climbs to try here at a variety of difficulty levels. This location only offers bouldering, so there are no top roping options. They switch up the walls every few months, so long-time climbers can be surprised. If you have a kid, there's a fun kid's section that features mini climbs. I've also heard great things about the yoga classes here! As a beginner, I really appreciate the intro classes that go through fundamental climbing skills. The atmosphere here is always incredible. It's clear that everyone is having fun climbing and hanging out with friends. There's also a solid amount of parking outside. It does get extremely busy during certain times, like after work on weekdays and in the morning on weekends. I always look forward to visiting, and I always have an incredibly fun experience! read more

Movement Santa Clara - Top rope session - Yoga Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Bouldering and pickleball seems to be the trending activity... I opted to get into bouldering in the last year, and Movement Santa Clara was part of my journey. PROS Great bouldering gym especially if you want to get started on bouldering - seriously this gym is great for introduction to bouldering. I only started bouldering a little over 6 months ago with little upper body strength and zero climbing experience. Also a fear of heights / falling. Unlike other climbing gyms, there are a lot of beginner friendly "V Intro" routes where you can build your confidence into V0 and V1. When I was starting out I liked climbing the routes near the kids area, since I could climb into the kids area to get down. Since this Movement location is only focused on bouldering, there are actually a lot of routes available for a variety of levels, from beginner to advanced. Some routes focus on specific techniques or holds. As a fitness gym, I like the equipment and facilities - for the most part the locker rooms are clean and they have a good collection of equipment for cardio and weights. The rowing machines are even the same brand as the ones from Row House (RIP). I've never felt like it got too crowded in the fitness area. The yoga room is very nice and clean compared to your regular gym studio - they have a good variety of yoga classes for different levels. I tend to enjoy doing yoga here since unlike a regular yoga class at a City Sports or Crunch Fitness, they can offer more challenging options due to the climber demographic. Yoga mats and equipment like blocks and straps are provided free of charge, with mats cleaned after every class. First Fridays of the month are BOGO for day passes or free guests for members. CONS The vibe can be a pro or con depending on how you view it - disclaimer, this may be a California thing and I am not used to it being from Washington. This is one of the most crowded climbing gyms I have seen - this seems to be the case with almost all climbing gyms in the Bay Area though. The best times to try climbing are during the day on the weekdays or during the day on a weekend. But if you try coming after 4 pm on a weekday expect wait times to climb routes and crowding. Climbing is a great social activity... but I never quite understand the need to have groups of 5+ hanging out and taking up space in the mats or walkways while one person is climbing. Also keep in mind First Fridays of the month are a bit of a madhouse - those days tend to be extra crowded since members can bring guests free and day passes are half off if you come as 2 people. You can expect to run into the following vibes if you come here regularly: Gym Tech Bros: The loud obnoxious kind - this is silicon valley after all Pick Up Artists: This is more amusing than annoying... but my partner and I notice the amount of folks looking for a potential date here than most gyms Influencers: A lot of cool bouldering videos on Instagram take place here - those people are respectful about filming. The part that can be obnoxious are the ones that aren't in it for the sport but for the likes. Unsupervised Daycare: Climbing is a great activity for kids... when supervised by the staff in a camp or responsible parent. Unfortunately I tend to see parents let their kids roam free like a playground - it becomes extra important to look before falling. Or check when continuing to climb in case a kid decides to climb under you. OVERALL The above are my observations of the culture around this gym, but it shouldn't reflect upon how the staff and facilities are. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff here are awesome and helpful; we had some issues where our membership card wasn't scanning in the beginning and they were quick in resolving it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Shoe and chalk bag rentals are available, but they also sell a variety of climbing shoes onsite that you can try before buying. Plenty of parking available onsite... but on busy days, expect to park further or have to make a few rounds before getting a spot. Again, if you want to check out bouldering for the first time or need to convince your friend to get into it... this is a really good gym to get started. read more

Movement Santa Clara - Lots of variety for different bouldering levels - Yoga Near Me - Santa Clara, California

This is probably one of my favorite Movement gyms in the Bay Area. It's well-lit, is pretty spacious (although I wish there was a larger common area for members to hang out before or after their climbing session) and the problems here range from V-Intro all the way to V7 and above. I'm not what you'd call a strong climber so I don't really notice anything above the V7 but I do notice it here and there. The Yoga room is pretty nice although the classes can get pretty crowded on weekdays. The workout room is pretty large and doesn't get as crowded (when compared to Movement Sunnyvale, at least). You'll find your squat racks and free weights to use. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This was my first time trying bouldering and I took Intro to bouldering class that was free for first time comers. It was amazing![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They provide you with the shoes and chalks, it can be rented also moving forward. The coach was good, explained everything and gave a tour. Then I had my free time trying to climb the walls. The gym is pretty big, they have showers, lockers, heavy lifting area and equipment. So for sure I recommend this place! read more

I've been on the hunt for new activities around the Bay Area and happy I was introduced to Movement by a friend. It was my first time here and it was harder than what I expected. I love to try new things and rock climbing was on my list. I've noticed how popular it's become and a lot of my friends were getting into this sport so why not? [[HIGHLIGHT]]The reason why I enjoyed this gym was mainly because of the staff and the environment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The front desk had about 4-6 staff members working at the time when I came around 8pm on a Tuesday.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I forgot the gentleman's name but he was extremely helpful with the onboarding process.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I came here with my partner and we were going to buy the day pass + the shoes but he informed us that since it was our first time and came with a member we got in for free. So awesome. Anyways, I couldn't get past the different levels and stayed at V1 majority of the time. It was extremely busy during this time and I'm not sure if this is just me but I got nervous when trying it because there were so many eyes on me. Overall, I got over my fear of heights and tried something new. A win is a win! read more

Coming from Movement Fountain Valley (in Southern California), my partner and I were stoked to check out their Santa Clara gym! We came in for a session on a Friday around lunch and it was already busy. They have plenty of different walls and the sets were pretty interesting. Although one interesting thing we learned: for this gym, the starting hold(s) are the holds closest to tag - including holds that are ABOVE where the tag is placed. That was confusing for us at first since most gyms we've been to set start holds at the level of where the tag is placed or lower. Around 2:30PM it got very busy - but mostly with kids. While I saw some kids climb responsibly with their guardian next to them, we also encountered a group of 3 kids that were unsupervised, running around, and climbing underneath other climbers on the wall. My partner was projecting a climb when he heard a kid run underneath him. He couldn't see them, so rather than risk squishing the kid, he bailed. We heard a few other adults make similar comments, but there weren't any announcements or reminders to supervise children/not run under climbers. Luckily my partner is a Movement member with a guest pass because the day pass price is also higher here than we're used to. While it was a fun climbing day, I left feeling underwhelmed. It was busy enough that there were some walls we didn't even get a good look at because we didn't want to nudge our way into the queue. And while I know this can happen naturally, I noticed some older sets where the walls and holds were greasy. Maybe we'll check out a different Movement location on our next visit. read more

This location is smaller than other locations but it's still a great option for bouldering. The day pass is around $30 and it comes with chalk and shoes. The best time to go if you want to avoid waiting and huge crowds (and less eyes on you while you climb) the best time to go is weekdays before 2/3pm. Weekends, Friday included, can get busy pretty much all day. First fridays of each month, every member gets an additional pass for first time climbers on top of their single day pass that is included in your membership. The gym is relatively small so it's primarily used as a climbing gym. They sometimes open the outdoors which have more squat racks. It can get pretty warm inside especially after climbing/working out. The bathrooms are nice and clean, and they also have towels available for members to use after a shower. The price is kind of expensive but I am a first time climber so maybe that's why I think it's expensive for a membership. Regular memberships are around $120 a month with full access to other Movement gyms. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff is really nice and helpful if you have any questions or need any help.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I haven't tried a yoga class but it's a part of the membership so definitely try to take advantage of that. read more

This is a great venue for climbers or for someone looking to practice endurance. The place has various levels and so you can try the ones you are comfortable with. I do want to point out that they need to install some heavy duty air filters. By the end of the hour, I was coughing due to the chalk dust that's flying everywhere. If you frequent this place, I'm afraid you will end up with lung problems. I hope the owner will at least invest into setting up few portable air filters if the central unit is too expensive. It's probably cheaper than someone getting sick and potentially claim damage. read more

Movement Santa Clara - Yoga Near Me - Santa Clara, California

This place is 100% bouodering. Two people here are so generous and patient Devin: so kind and patient while we figured out everything and finally someone who suggested if this is your first time, try a day pass and have the kids get used to the facility and wall setups. Shea: kindest person. Watched quietly from behind while a girl was helping up sign up. Shea saw the annoyance on my face and took over. Shea taught my kid how to fall and protect themselves, and walked them over to the areas on where to begin and how to navigate the walls. Devin and Shea seriously are the best people here!! Small facility; they have beginner wall for kids/adults as well which helps them get familiar with climbing. read more

Movement Santa Clara - Beginner Wall area adjacent to front desk - Yoga Near Me - Santa Clara, California

My friend had a membership here and its free to try out for your first time. We went on a Saturday around 3pm which was the perfect time to go because it wasn't busy at all! This place has a gym, bouldering, bathrooms with showers, locker rooms, sitting area. Monthly is on the pricier side but it's worth if you plan on going multiple times a week. Front desk staff was friendly and the place overall was clean. 5/5! I was SORE the day after I tried this. It's a huge area where all ages can come and climb! There's a special area for kids to start off as well. Great challenges and my friend told me that they would implement new levels to try couple of weeks. I would recommend bringing chalk so you can have a better grip when climbing. Be mindful of others when they are climbing and make sure that you have enough space between because it can be dangerous. read more

I came here for the first time and I like the cleanliness and how spacious this location is. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a breeze checking in because I signed the online waiver before my first visit![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] the shoe rental was free. They also have this 15 day trial membership that includes a lot of perks like a free climbing or bouldering class and free shoe rentals/harness/chalk, so I'll consider that for the future. It can get pretty crowded since it's already summer time but lucky enough the parking lot is huge. read more

Been to a lot of rock climbing gyms in the past with ropes but this is the first 100% bouldering gym I have been too. Came to try out the facilities including the weight training and bouldering walls. You can buy and rent accessories here necessary for climbing including shoes and chalk, snacks as well. Gym: most similarly resembles a classic CrossFit box with the Rogue Rigs, barbells, and open floor layout. They are equipped with plenty of equipment and space to do traditional power lifting and Olympic lifting with at least half a dozen places to set up a barbell. Pull ups bars are plentiful and they have variety with kettle bells, medicine balls, and free weights. Was not busy at all but I think it's because the main attraction is the bouldering. Bouldering: welcome to your playpen. You have a plethora of options for various skills levels, Intro to expert. Multiple challenges at each skill level available and the wait is never longer than a couple minutes even on a busy Saturday. Highly recommend checking it out, even as a first timer. read more

Tldr: it's a climbing gym. The setting is interesting sometimes, but definitely priced pretty high for what it is ($117 a month!). Can get very crowded, and staff are not good at keeping people out of fall zones. The good, the bad, the reality: Atmosphere, 3/5: it's a decent climbing gym, and some of the sets are really interesting! Boulder only, fortunately for us boulderers haha. That being said, it gets crowded, so... Crowd control, 1/5: the staff and people who climb here are not good about keeping people safe. Lots of parents with young kids who don't know how to keep their kids from running under climbers, and since it gets crowded, the crowds sometimes make their way onto the mats right in the way of climbers overhead. The staff rarely notice! Climbers on the wall might give a shout once they look down, but definitely a dangerous situation nonetheless. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Staff, 4/5: for the most part they're decent people![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Once in a while there's been a staff member or two who have cleared the crowds (yess!!). [[HIGHLIGHT]]But one or two of the staff members here are definitely pretty ego-filled, they'll kick you out of an entire area of the gym just to teach a class.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Classes, 5/5: their intro classes are great! Knowledgeable people (and 95% of the time absolutely kind and wonderful human beings) who are really cool. Yoga classes here are also epic, but be warned that like everything else here, they get crowded quick! Parking, 5/5: easy parking, since the parking lot is huge! Overall it's a standard climbing gym. Keep calm, look down, and climb on! read more

We had our daughter's 12th birthday party here. She got to have up to 10 people, including herself. It's not a cheap birthday party but it was hassle free for us and her and her friends all had a blast. Cons: It smells like feet, but you adjust after a bit. There is no outside food or drink allowed, but that makes sense given the activity Pros: 1.5 hours of climbing time Friendly and knowledgeable staff/hosts Fun environment Differing levels of difficulty My 1 star is just because it was crowded and smelled like feet, but maybe that's not a negative for others! read more

For climbing, Movement is pretty good. You'll never run out of boulders to work on, and the route-setting is solid. It has all of the gym and training equipment you need. Barry's Power Vinyasa class on Sundays is worth the price of admission on its own. I've taken dozens of yoga classes, but it wasn't until I started going to his that my progression really started to take off. [[HIGHLIGHT]]He provides tons of valuable feedback, hands-on adjustments and really cares about your progression all while cracking jokes resulting in a fun, and sometimes painful experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommended to anyone who wants to level up their yoga practice from beginners to advanced. read more

**First Review of 2024** Shoutout to my home gym, Movement (AKA ol' Planet Granite) Of course NY Resolution is to get more fit, and I am guilty of signing up in January when $49 Initiation Fees are waived-- amazing! Benefits of membership changed recently- most importantly, you get 12 guest passes (1/month) This is a BOULDERING ONLY gym + yoga room + workout area with handful of treadmills, ellipticals, weights, etc. No top rope here. Definitely this gym can get packed during peak times (weekdays after 4PM and weekends around 12PM). I really try to go during off-hours when there's fewer people but I get anxious anyway *le sigh* The foot smell is not that bad :') Locker rooms are decent, however no saunas or steam room though like Sunnyvale. Staff and people are friendly. Parking is okay with compact spaces, but if it's crowded, you'll walk a teensy bit. I saw a random Tesla Truck in the lot once haha Can't ask for more in a rock climbing gym *chef's kiss* Help me get fit, Movement!!! read more

This is the first place that I learned how to boulder. I fell in love with the sport ever since. This gym only has bouldering (no lead or top roping), but has a lot of options for beginners and experienced climbers. There is a kid area that tends to get crowded with families, so just watch out if you have a project out there. My favorite day to go is Monday morning as it is really quiet. I imagine that any weekday morning tends to be on the calmer side. Weekday evenings are definitely wilder, but I find that I usually don't have to wait for a climb unless it is part of a new set. I feel like the weight/cardio area is not as extensive as the Sunnyvale Movement, but it still has a great amount of space! read more

This was my kids 1st time at movement. At first, from the outside, we thought this gym was not going to be as big or as cool as we hoped. However, once we got inside, we quickly saw it's more than we imagined it to be and we were not disappointed!! This gym is HUGE. I mean, HUUUGE. Many different obstacles of varying skill levels. The gym itself was well maintained and clean. The staff were all exceptional. Especially this girl at the counter with shoulder length straight black hair. I wish I caught her name! She was the most helpful and explained how everything works and was really a delight to talk with. The kindness goes beyond the staff into the people who were there just to climb themselves. Multiple times different people were cheering on the kids. From sideline coaching to explaining the way to do an obstacle, to fist bumps from teenaged boys to my 9 year old son for pushing through and finishing a route. My husband and I were totally blow away at everyone's attitudes and willingness to help. We are hooked! Bought our kids shoes and chalk bags. Our kids aged 15 and 9 love climbing. They had a lot of fun. So much so, we are having our son's 10th birthday at the gym(1/20). We can't wait to go back! read more

Wow, what a crazy climbing gym. You definitely get what you pay for here at Movement. Prices are much higher than other gyms in the area, but in my opinion, is worth it if you're a bouldering enthusiast like I am. Note that there is no rope climbing here, so don't bring them harnesses. There are walls on walls on walls of problems for every level of climbers. They have a beginner wall area for those just starting out to some insane looking v10s+ Even though it get's busy here, you can pretty much always find a place to climb. I've never had issues with any of the ones I was working on, as other members are very polite. They also have a pretty expansive gym area with everything that you can think of for a gym. You can really ditch your regular gym membership and just get one here. First timers get to go in for free with a paid member. You can also go for free every first Friday of the month with a paid member. Those are some easy (and free!) ways to get into Movement if you wanted to check it out before committing to its high price tag. Overall though, if bouldering is your thing, there's not many spots in the Bay that can beat Movement! read more

Only the second climbing gym I've been to, but wow I was impressed! The space is huge and has tons of walls, so even at peak hours you don't really have to wait around long. The routes do seem tougher than the other place I've been to, so they might just be calibrated to be slightly more difficult here. There's also a pretty big gym/weight area that extends to outside, so you can really get a full workout in. Staff was super friendly and chalk and shoes are included with a guest pass. There are snacks and drinks available for purchase. And there are lockers you can use with a key code to store your valuables. Overall: super spacious, super clean, and tons of options! read more

Movement Santa Clara - Yoga Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Definitely my go-to climbing gym, it's very beginner friendly while also having a lot of harder courses. I love taking people here, I typically split my 7 day pass with them so they can save a couple bucks! Workers are amicable, overall a very enjoyable experience. They also do have yoga classes and other amenities that traditional gyms have (treadmills, weights, the like). The bathrooms also include showers, lockers, and feminine hygiene products. It's on the pricier side if you want a membership, but what isn't pricey in the Bay Area? Things definitely amp up after 5-6 PM on weekdays since most people get off work then, but everyone is friendly and no one fights for routes or is judgey. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Good climbing gym but if you come here for lifting, you'll get kicked off from the racks mid-workout for the fitness classes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Why should other paying members get kicked off a rack when we all pay the same price for a gym membership here?[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Who knows. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Movement Santa Clara desperately needs to limit classes and space them out to make it fair for other paying members.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Formerly Planet Granite, this Santa Clara location is bouldering only. It was quite busy on an evening but I loved that there was a small kid wall in the back because my kids loved that! They've been a little hesitant with climbing so this was a good entry! The big wall next to it also had a good mix of entry to challenging which was a great option for this parent! It's awesome that they now include gear with guest entry! Great options for walls/routes. Their stretching area is also fantastic. read more

Took some teens on a weekday night and they had a great time. Friendly people and staff.

I came to movement on Labor day for my first experience climbing and I had a blast! It was pretty busy because of the holiday but there was plenty of space for us all. It was a nice facility with plenty of things to do including gym equipment, yoga room, and climbing routes of various intensities. On your first visit they have you fill out a form and watch an intro to climbing video. They have climbing shoes you can borrow as well if you don't have your own.It was my first time so I just tried out all of the intro and some v.0 and v.1 routes which were very bigger friendly. Climbing is a great full body workout and mentally stimulating as well. i'm looking forward to coming back and advancing to the more challenging climbs. read more

Ive been coming here over 2 years. I used to really love this place for its numerous routes and constant changes. It used to be my favorite gym. I used to rate this place a 4 or 5, but its not worth it to overlook the negatives anymore. Its also gotten so crowded that its hard to enjoy. There is poor air circulation-- its non existent. Theyve set up some fans to help but you just end up breathing chalk into your lungs. Considering the expensive membership, youd think theyd fix the filtration. You will get chalk all over your clothes and hair. Busy Hour is basically any time after 4-- This is logical, and i wouldnt mind so much if it werent for the gym culture. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Id say the gym culture here is superficially inclusive and respectful, because thats the branding of the company, but once you're here, no climber actually gives a F about u.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Some people here are disrespectful and entitled. There's several people here that have no spatial awareness at all, which is baffling considering this is a climbing gym.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They completely disregard etiquette and basic manners. Some are "influencers" that bring their tripod, put it on the walkway, and incessantly record, and get you in the background of videos.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Standing around and blocking the walkways is the norm here. Many people here will bump into you and pretend to not notice, or simply dont care.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Example: 2 weeks ago, It was 4pm, and not busy in this day. I was walking on the right hand-side of the walkway, Some 6' guy walking in my direction on the left hand side veers in front of me, and shoulder-checks me. It felt intentional, but i gave the benefit of the doubt it was an accident. But the guy never said sorry or excuse me. Thats disrespectful. The bump was pretty harsh (im 5'0), so he almost bodied me. I was at a loss of words and wasn't expecting that, cuz who does that?? He just continued on his merry way as if nothing happened--I was just a fly to him ig.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I tried to move past this experience, but literally yesterday, at 9pm something else happened. The gym was empty at this point. I put my things out of the way on the top of the shelf in the corner, and later on come to realize two people are SITTING on my things! Mind you there was plenty of seats anywhere else to sit. I say "excuse me can i get my things?" They stand up and one of them comes up to me close and says "I was sitting on those" and LAUGHS. In my face.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Why would you purposefully sit on a stranger's things.... And think that is funny or even remotely appropriate in the slightest? Especially when you dont know whats inside the bag. My glasses were in my bag... I checked them later a they got bent[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. TLDR: the bouldering routes are amazing, but its packed. Some climbers are entitled POS a-holes with 0 spatial awareness, which can ruin your session. Movement staff should know to walk around the gym and enforce their rules. Theyre too busy standing behind the desk and chatting. read more

Located not too far from Santa Clara University, parking is plentiful but spots are insanely difficult to find. Will is a great employee as was Larissa. They were very helpful and awesome staff that were very patient with me and my indecisiveness for getting me fit for a shoe. They also ensured that I had a safe first experience bouldering. The prices are quite high but there are student and family discounted prices. The gym is huge with a bit of yoga and a small weight lifting area, not to mention there are a lot of places to boulder with a good variety of difficulty. Overall, a pretty good bouldering gym. read more

Such a cool spot! A first timer at bouldering I had so much fun! The staff were so helpful in making sure we felt comfortable. Everyone was very knowledgeable and welcoming.

First time here and first time even rock climbing/bouldering at all and I have to say it was a great experience! My friend randomly asked me if I wanted to try out rock climbing and me being a yes man, I said sure! When I first arrived, I was waiting for my friend who was just getting off work at the time. The staff was very helpful in getting me onboarded with the paperwork and an intro video. Then I spent sometime watching people climb while I waited for my friend. Honestly, watching people climb was really fun because you get to see how everyone tried the different routes in their unique ways! When my friend got there, I used his guess pass (every member gets 6 per year and you can use 2 max per month) to get in. He showed me the ropes (not literally) and I had a great time! Everyone was really supportive of one another and had great manners. Also, one big thing to note, the environment was very safe! We left our phones and chalk bags laying around while we were on a route on the other side of the room for a good 20 mins and when we came back everything was still there! Its a great place and will definitely be back again! :) read more

Came here on Monday and Thursday night for bouldering and I really like here! Pros: - very spacious and clean - it has bathroom inside the restroom, so you can shower there. Female bathroom even has hair dryer - so many bouldering trails to try! - plenty of parking space outside - 7 visit pass is a good deal because you can buy it and use with your friends Cons: - taking 1 star off because their shoes dye my socks and toes... still can't wash off from my toes after 4 days haha.

Have now been to around 10 different Movement guys in the country and I think this one would have to be my favorite. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibes here are great and the staff are very helpful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The facilities are clean and maintained well and they have air conditioning which is a plus when it gets super hot out. The routes for bouldering are fantastic and you can never get bored here. Obviously I cant judge the top rope since its bouldering only, but for a bouldering only gym I love it. they also have a large and expansive area for gym equipment as well as an outside area for exercising as well. Parking lot is large and easy to use. read more

Best all-around gym in my opinion. They have a lot of overhangs, lots of slab especially with their slab wall. The hold texture is rough enough for very decent grip while being soft enough where it doesn't hinder your climbing endurance. The wall itself has lots of grip which makes it lovely to smear. A lot of top outs for boulder problems. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of people after work hours.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They offer student discounts $28 vs $33 if you come before a certain time in the afternoon. Double check on their website. It is more pricey and doesn't offer Medi-Cal discount like Touchstone gyms. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good people, good staff, everyone is chill.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Beginner friendly gym! Visited with my friend and used a coupon to get a first time intro to bouldering class free. Learned a lot like what/how to boulder , types of holds, how to properly fall in case, and much more! After the class, we had free time to boulder for the rest of the day. The class included rental shoes + a rental chalk. Overall pretty good experience read more

Climbed with friends for a few hours on a Sunday morning. Got in before the crowd and had a great time! Will definitely come back for another session. We did notice that the air quality in the gym wasn't great even though it was early in the day. We heard someone mention that they've complained previously to the team about it and the hazards of chalk residue in the air. Hopefully some purifiers or other equipment will be added to clean up the air inside the gym. read more

Oho- new experience for me. Never been to a climbing gym and can't compare to other places but this place.. rocked :D Nice clean place with tons of parking. I went off hours so it wasn't as busy. Bathroom was super nice too but be careful, the water faucet dryer combo will confuse you like it did to me LOL. TIP- save time and fill out your waiver online and watch the orientation video before you come. Friendly employees and helpful too. Cubbies around the right side of the place when you walk in. They also have lockers in the bathrooms. They offer shoe rentals and even sell climbing items in the front. Would be a good place to try on shoes before you buy (look around for pricing options, could be pricier here) The workout area for weights is nicely stocked. Bars are good too and looks like they had outside lifting/workout area which is a plus. read more

It's absolutely massive gym that you can go full send in! I've been a member here for about a year and the staff did a great job of getting me comfortable with bouldering. I tend to come here during off-peak hours, as it can get incredibly busy either on the weekends or after work. You'd be hard-pressed to find a bouldering gym that's larger than this one. read more

Lots of bouldering routes and a great gym equipment setup I tried the intro to bouldering class on my first visit here, and I thought the lesson was really helpful! I first tried bouldering a few years ago, but it was great to learn the basics and the proper form. Definitely recommend the class for anyone who is interested in giving it a try! I've visited this gym a few times for some bouldering and weightlifiting. There are lots of route with a large variety of levels throughout the gym since this is a bouldering-only gym. Many of the routes do seem like they are designed more for/by taller people though, because as a short person who is a beginner at climbing, there are a decent amount of "easier" routes that I find myself needing to jump or reach for that someone who's taller could reach with relative ease. Of the few times that I've visited, the routes have changed a bit, which is nice, so there are newer routes to solve. This gym also has a large variety of gym equipment from squat racks and a limited number of machines that are generally pretty open for use. read more
