1/14/24: Here's an update from an update. They called when a class was going to be canceled, which was nice. For the intro to rock climbing 101 class (taken a 3rd time), they added more things as in gave me and the class members a piece of rope to practice tying a eight knot, and handed out paper with instructions for the belay test and things to memorize for the test. Only thing that annoys me now is that I have to pay for rentals now when I pay monthly membership. Like why? 10/3/23: The experience became mid. The thursday fitness class got canceled without any notice. No one was there for the class so I was confused. The Tuesday fitness instructor is leaving and looks like they won't have another instructor so fitness classes are going to be gone from the sounds of it. The locker doors are all breaking apart... It's nice having the full experience of using their rock climbing gym since I got the summer membership. So far, I've tried their intro top rope class and yoga foundation class. Loving it so far 😊👍.

For the amount of money that members pay, it's ridiculous for this gym to continually have ZERO wipes. It's not just recently but since at least June there's been a problem with the availability of wipes. It's movement's own POLICY to wipe down gym equipment use, so how are members supposed to do that and care for their own health without wipes?? Ridiculous. Do better!

First timer here! Went there to celebrate a friend's birthday. The facility is clean and bright. We had a staff to guide us and make sure we are safe. Highly recommend this place.

Great place for rock climbing. The facility is well maintained. Came with friends and had a great time. Very challenging. I might get a membership if my friends decide to come here more often.

Perfect w/ good amounts of difficulties available for rock climbing! Beautiful gym. You'll need a buddy to go with if you want someone to belay you, o/w not many auto belays

I'm really torn on this review. I love to climb and it's an excellent climbing gym with tons of non-climbing stuff to do. The routes are fun and accurate. It's clean, the staff is alright, and it's just a good vibe all around. The only reason I'm knocking some stars off is that I've been a member of ET so long I remember when it actually used to be pretty affordable. At it's current price point, it really wipes out the abilities for anyone who is not of means to get involved and that is just not OK. It's gentrified itself. It's messed up. Ever since they went corporate, it's just gone up, up, and away. Even the 7 pass "deal" ain't much of a deal anymore. The climbing community can't really diversify when so many people are just priced out. A lot of younger people would get started in the gym - a lot of the greats did - but I worry we're pricing future greats out of this incredible sport.

I've been a member for over 7 years now, and I love everything this gym has to offer! The staff are very helpful, coaches are good with workout classes, and the facility is always clean. My only complaint is that Earth Treks is very crowded in the afternoons/evenings. The best time to go are during the early afternoon or mornings (even on weekends).

Just celebrated a 7th birthday here with a dozen children. It was spectacular. The staff was wonderful (3) and assisted with all the children (and a few adults). The facilities are vast and amazing.

30 ft top rope, with some interesting wall formations they set on. They probably have the most bouldering walls at this location of any climbing gym in the area. Bouldering area can get busy sometimes. Yoga classes and gym are bonuses.

I used to be a member for almost a year and a half, but recently ended my membership after the second increase in rates within one year. I know several other long-term members that have also left for the same reason. Now, for a single person, it costs nearly $1200 per year. In what world can I justify spending $1200 in a year for a gym membership, I don't know. Look, I get it. Inflation is hitting everyone, but it's also hitting your customers who don't have $1.2k to spare a year on a gym membership. To add on, when I emailed the gym to complain about the rate hikes, they let me know they plan to increase rates annually from now on. I would suggest the management to add tiered memberships, as many people like me don't even need all those perks that are listed -- I just want to climb. Or, even have discounted memberships for off-peak hours, like early mornings or mid-day. I will say that I enjoyed the routes while I was there, especially the obstacle course style ones they had in the top rope area. I do wish they changed them more frequently, as some would be left on the wall for over 3 months. We took the Intro to Lead class a few months ago and that was also very well taught.

Overall nice gym. Lots of bouldering and top rope, no autobelay. The first time I went I noted that I had never been to the gym, and the staff didn't make any effort to show me around or tell me where things were, which was strange to me. On a positive note, I went here for a learn to Lead course, and unfortunately I got covid and couldn't do the second lesson. The gym was amazing about canceling the lesson and processing a refund since no other classes worked with my schedule.

I’m new to the gym, but loving it so far! I took the intro to top ropes course and the intro to bouldering course. Both teachers were so kind and patient! The facility is clean and has so many options, even when it’s bumpin, it seems there is somewhere to climb. I’m really loving top ropes, and just from talking to people after the intro classes and yoga classes, I’ve gotten plenty of people to climb with. Very excited to keep coming back.

The team here is very kind. However the exorbitant pricing is the reason for 3 stars. The membership costs more than any climbing or traditional gym I’ve given my business to. I understand there’s a lot of classes, workout equipment, and routes available, but that’s useless to me as a Mom whose attendance is limited by childcare. The punch pass makes the most sense given these circumstances, but that’s equally overpriced. It seems like climbing is going the way of a luxury sport in this area.

Friendly staff. Welcoming environment. Routes are often changing so there is always something new and locker rooms always clean. Very easy to strike up a conversation with others.

We were visiting from Detroit and front desk was very welcoming and helped get us checked in even when the network went down. They got us climbing quickly and it was cool and comfortable even on a hot summer day(100 degrees). Great activity to do when you need to kill an afternoon at a lacrosse tournament:)

Great environment. Friendly and chill. Great routes that are being updated often enough that you can complete challenges but not get bored. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

I have a family membership with my husband. The walls are well maintained and the gym/yoga studio areas are always clean. With membership you get access to free classes and I've enjoyed all of the instructors I've had. It is on the more expensive side of gym memberships, but they are always well staffed and have unique features. Worth it for me.

the movement gyms are probably The best climbing gyms in our area. The staff is always extremely friendly and one of my favorite parts about this gem is the acceptance shown to everyone who wants to participate in the hobby regardless of your skill level and knowledge of the sport. Membership rates are competitive and the gym is always well-maintained with new experiences and updates to the wall very consistently.

Great place to climb… met some cool people. Everyone seems to get along. Noticed recently, the staff made a Pride flag on one of the bouldering walls. Im all about civil liberties, I’m hoping the staff will the create the American Flag on the 4th of July. Have pride for the freedom that the American Flag represents.

The front staff was phenomenal they answered all of our questions they were extremely helpful. We bought a week membership since I'm on vacation visiting family. They had a little boutique area where you could buy rock climbing or bouldering gear it was small but the products looked really nice the clothing looked awesome. And the inside has rock climbing and little bouldering walls everywhere which was really nice they had an area for yoga which I did not do. But we worked out there and had a great workout and then we went bouldering. They rent out the shoes for you if you don't have your own. And if you want to rock climb you have to take a little class first before they cut you loose rock climbing. You have to sign your waivers and the experience was just awesome. Really fun place if you want some exercise and some fun but you don't want the traditional type of exercise they had a free weight room it was small but it was really good for it you know building up those muscles you need for rock climbing and bouldering and they had a couple machines. Even though they were doing some construction so they had some areas closed off we really had a great time.

I came here for an Intro to Bouldering class with no knowledge of what to do. The instructor was great at explaining the different levels of climbs and gave plenty of time for us to actually climb instead of just talking. By the end of the course, my arms felt like jello from all the climbing! He was also great at finding something to fit everyone's comfort levels and very encouraging with offering tips but not giving up the whole puzzle. I think this is a fun thing to try if you're looking for a new experience! I'm planning to return to try the roping course.

Gets extremely busy on Saturdays, but very good gym. They change up their walls regularly so it's never boring. For all skill levels!

It was my first time climbing here with friends and I had an amazing experience! All of the employees were very helpful and the facility itself was super clean. I am definitely coming back here to climb :)

It's a great climbing gym with tons of space and supplies and the like, as well as helpful employees. If climbing is one of your favorite things to do, this is probably an excellent and worthwhile gym. However, the price to come here once, or to get a membership, is very expensive, significantly higher than climbing gyms I've been to before. But, it is a better gym.

Very fun and lively rock climbing gym. The staff are very friendly and always willing to help you if needed. The gym offers plenty of routes throughout for all skill levels of climbers.

I've been going here since I was a kid! The staff have always been great and welcoming, the facility is large and they reset regularly enough that you don't really get bored of the routes. The workout area is also good, the classes are interesting, and the locker rooms/bathrooms are clean. Parking is pretty easy but if they're crowded sometimes you'll have to walk a bit.

I had so much fun 😊👍 Egheosa Osahon Anywhere Headlight Restoration LLC

Amazing, friendly, huge boulder and climb areas. Also, has a speed climb and enough TR locations to stay busy. Consistent updates to the walls

Tied with the Crystal City location for best climbing gym in the DMV area. For the last few months in particular, the route setters for the bouldering area have been killing it. The walls/holds are kept clean as well (A pet peeve of mine since nasty holds are the quickest way to decrease the quality of your bouldering experience).

Nice, modern climbing gym that actually takes the time and effort to rotate in new climbs. They also offer top-notch yoga, and exercise classes free to members, in addition to the fully stocked weight room and cardio equipment, etc.. We locals hate to brag, so it doesn't get too overcrowded. This location is incredible.

Most bouldering routes I’ve seen in one gym. Out of town climbing with friends but the community vibe was great. Grading was on the east side but TONS of variety. Would be a member if I was closer!

Typical Earth Trex quality. Lots of places to climb, lots of places to Boulder. Staff is friendly, and the seating area is clean. Plenty if challenging climbs for people of all skill levels. Definitely a great experience if you've never tried it before.

Newest earth treks in Maryland? yet for years the wifi doesn't work? Works for a month after the last flood by at&t now it's back to not working at all, if we weren't inside a lead box and my phone got reception this wouldn't be an issue

Lots of price increases, few improvements/benefits unless you count having a lot of guest passes. Pretty inconsistent communications about closures, etc. Front desk staff + setters are great, 5 stars.
