Overpriced. I liked it better when it was Earth Treks. The new rating system is lazy and inconsistent. The holds are dirty. It’s really crowded, especially during peak hours. Why don’t you all have a student, teacher, or military discount? As a local teacher I will soon be priced out of using these services. The yoga classes are good though. Please do better and focus less on corporate profit. Monopolies are generally too profit driven even within the climbing world. Bring back local gyms!

In my opinion the best climbing gym in Denver. Everything they do is too notch. Their classes are amazing with knowledgeable instructors, their routs are set very well, and their gym is incredible for it being included with the climbing. I never worry about the cleanliness of the facility and am always excited to bring friends. Every first Friday allows for a free guest and you also get 6 guest passes per year with your membership. I am a HUGE fan of this place for any level of climber!

Wow! What a gym! This is definitely one of the best gyms I've ever been to! As it is such a huge gym there is a disadvantage in that parts don't get reset in quite a long time, otherwise it's a phenomenal place. It's got really friendly staff, a nice selection of shoes chalk, harnesses or other climbing equipment you may need. Again I think this gym is amazing and well worth checking out!

Pretty average setting for bouldering. lots of workout amenities though which is nice. Don’t bother coming in between 3:30-8pm on any weekday, it’s pretty much a children’s playground; Kids running and screaming everywhere, people climbing on top of each other, the whole shabang. Overall I think it’s overpriced for the quality of the experience; been a member for about 3 weeks but probably won’t continue for much longer.

Visited the bouldering area while on travel: Phenomenal variety and organization of routes. I particularly liked the extensive comp-style route area. Cleanliness of holds was average, and the gym didn't feel "packed", despite having visited on a Sunday afternoon. I am sad that this is not my main climbing gym! Not that I'm complaining, but this Movement location without a doubt has the easiest bouldering grades of the five Movement gyms I've been to. Despite having to climb with rental shoes and no chalk (I forgot my gear), I was flashing routes that would normally be a significant challenge in other Movement gyms.

We just started going here a few months ago after having lived in Englewood for a decade. I feel like it can be a bit intimidating for newcomers so if you can find someone who knows the ropes (ha!) that really helps. The barrier to entry can be high especially with the cost of equipment but the investment in your health is worth it, especially here. However, we took the plunge so our kids had an activity outside of traditional team sports and we could not have asked for a better experience. After 5 months and 2 rounds of after school climbing program, my kids have been absolutely thriving and just secured a spot on the climbing team. The staff and instructors are amazing. My wife and I took a belay class together which was fun. Everyone is so supportive and encouraging. We spend 2 days per week there at a minimum. We’ve done a few yoga classes which were great. Overall it’s been well worth the investment.

Good bouldering areas, great top roping areas. Has a great workout area for lifting/running. Only has a few showers, but the locker rooms have free electronic built in locks you can use. Coming from Pacific Pipe in Oakland CA, this place is a close second, size-wise. Still the second largest climbing gym in the US. However, it could have more bouldering, compared to double floored Pacific Pipe. But the top roping and lead climbing area is unmatched. Even has a dedicated area for belay instruction and kids / birthday parties. Overall it’s a really large and really impressive climbing gym with great route setters. Haven’t visited many of the other climbing gyms in CO, but I can already tell this one will stay at the top when I visit the other gyms. And if you want more bouldering, there are several other gyms around the area that provide just that. (I took a couple videos but it doesn’t look like Google maps allow those? 😂 So here’s a single picture of one of my favorite bouldering areas)

I have been a member here for a few years and can’t said a bad word about it. My membership includes multiple gyms, yet this is really the only one I go to because it is hands down the best. The atmosphere, the climbers, the workout section, the routes…. Everything is the wonderful here. The staff are fantastic. (Some gyms I’ve found the staff can be arrogant or holier than thou but here everyone is humble and helpful). When I moved to outdoor climbing, Brent taught me how to set up and clean my anchors. Brandon spent well over an hour helping me pick out a rope and ordering it to the gym for me. I really don’t want anyone else joining because I hate crowds but this place and the staff I’ve worked with have all been amazing.

I love the culture of movement gyms. Thete are always various work out classes, training classes, a great workout room and awesome climbing walls. Staff are great and there are always events going on. Even better is all of the movement locations included with a membership. The monthly membership fee is steep but if you go often it is totally worth it. A perk is the various little work spaces at the gym. For those who work remote, it's easy to work right from the gym.

Been going to this gym on and off since it opened, if you're looking for a bouldering only experience, I would recommend either The Spot Denver or DBC South. The parking lot design is very tight and I wish additional thought went into this / spots were repainted. I wish the actual place to store your things was deeper it's difficult to put your coat, shoes and climbing bag into them. I wish they had more than one or two brushes laying around to be able to brush the climbs that get so much traction that they require deep brushing every time you try. I wish they would be stricter on children running around and under climbs perhaps marking physical lines for fall zones children could see. I like that the climbs have down climb holds however it feels necessary as you wouldn't want to jump down on some child running under you. I wish they would stop having two grades on a climb, this ultimately leads to harder climbs crux being the first 2-3 moves which sucks. I wish they'd use better feet, with the amount of traction the gym gets the feet quickly become significantly worse making a V5 feel like a V7.

Great climbing all around. Bouldering area is large and diverse. Roped walls are varied as well, with difficulty ranges to accommodate all levels. Staff seem friendly and courteous. Sounds good right, so why only 3 stars? Because the water from the "filtered" drinking fountains is some of the worst I've ever tasted. And I know what you're thinking: I may have elevated standards for water, but this isn't just me--this was corroborated by almost everyone I talked to. "The water tastes like dirt" was a common quote. Considering this is a facility where people come to exercise and participate in sport, you'd think access to clean water would be a priority. Yeah, no. Please fix soon 🤢

I LOVE Movement Englewood. I’ve been climbing there for about two years now and it’s amazing. I go a four to five times per week and that gives me enough time to get all of my projects in before the next set comes up. The route setting is 10/10 amazing. The people here are super nice and you can start a conversation with anyone. Everyone just loves climbing and is willing to talk about it and their experiences. I 100% recommend anyone to give this gym a try.

I LOVE this place so much! They have a huuuuge climbing facility. One of the biggest I've ever seen! They have a gym, yoga classes, Bouldering, and locker rooms with showers. The staff are all incredibly friendly! I go here as often as I can!

Solid 3 star climbing gym! Positives first: - climbing wise on ropes, for the beginner and intermediate climber, your setters are right in your sweet spot and will make you happy as things are fun and soft - in general, all route setting is really really good IMO I like it even if the grading is all over the place, usually soft with easy clipping holds and stances - super clean gym along with locker rooms being well looked after, except for the batteries on the locks and sediment build up on the shower heads - workout facility is great! - ample parking-ish compared to other gyms - generally friendly staff however not the most personable except for 1 or 2 remembering who you are and engaging in conversation actually about climbing - tall walls, clips are tightly spaced, but you'll be able to get your mileage in - relatively low crowds and not overly packed - IMO the monthly rate is pretty low for what the gym is even if they incrementally raise it without service enhancements - they are good at making towels available - the circulation and chalk filtration is good - the holds are clean! - they'll change the music upon polite request - AND they have really long open hours that cater to many people's schedules Negatives: (these are really nitpicking because of what the gym could be to make it so much better) - filling out the online website form for feedback on the gym and route setting (per their posted instructions) goes unread or more specifically, never responded to - climbing wise on ropes, for the advanced and elite climber, you'll find the grades aren't calibrated and are all over the place. You'll also climb out most of the gym and need to start making up your own difficulty through link ups. Overall it’s really soft - route setters do not review Kaya app feedback nor respond to it - no physical route setting map nor route schedule on display to know what's new, what's coming down, or what's going up. In general there is no adherence to setting schedule if you find the pdf online, nor is there consistency in change out of areas (some routes stay up for multiple months when others get swapped out every couple weeks) - lead instruction is not done in their instruction area claiming the walls are too short for proper lead instruction and not safe for big lead falls they teach (yet there are draws up in the area) - lots of wasted wall space for routes in rope area, the speed wall is rarely/never used and could have routes on it, and the slab-overhang wall has only one featured route for TR, no draws on it and is replaced maybe once a quarter instead of changed out regularly - quantity of routes could be increased. Some anchors have one line when others have two lines. And it's inconsistent which anchors will get the two lines or one line - no anchor number indicators mean climbers on lead and TR are often climbing over each other - after the el cap gym corp purchase, rope climbers are no longer allowed to use the bowline retrace (not the double bowline, but the bowline retrace is now deemed unsafe) Captions for my photos: 1. The worn draw. Would you whip on this outside? I told them of this in Aug '21, they said it's safe, it's still up as of late Oct '21. 2. The unused/rarely used speed wall 3. Slab overhang route with one featured route changed once only 4-5 months. 4 lead anchors and 3 TR anchors on the panel with only one route one rope for the wall 4. The safety placard with tape over the bowlines allowed statement Last note. Bring your own water. Water tastes bad. That's the city of Englewood though, not the gym's fault. A nice enhancement would be to add in their own purifying system for us.

I don't understand all the great reviews unless you are obsessed with climbing. The gym is the stinkiest place I've ever worked out and feels like you are walking into a humidity chamber of human sweat and crowded like no other. Even with a giant lot I still parked down the street after a work day. If this is your first time climbing, you'll be too intimidated and outnumbered to feel comfortable unless you go at off-hours.

I've been a member for 5 years now and just recently ended my membership. Membership rates keep going up, the crowds get bigger and bigger, and it's always a fight to find parking. The routes are up for a very long time, I worked on one route there for 2 months and when I left it was still up! The vibe here has also gone very commercial, it's more of a place to have a fun date, a visit while youre in town, a birthday party, a new workout, or company team building activity, not so much a climbing training gym. The youth team is a great idea but they take up a ton of room pretty consistently and the coaches generally do not care if they block out a whole area of the gym from members and guests. It just isn't worth it anymore, it's frustrating every time I go, it's crowded, and prices keep going up. That said if you can go not during peak hours it is probably more worth it!

Today I booked my first ever climb and had the pleasure of Mark as my instructor/spotter. He was extremely knowledgeable, welcoming, and his encouraging positive attitude really made me feel at ease. I can't believe I've never tried this sport before and thanks for making me the newest addict to the climbing family. I couldn't have been more impressed with the facility and welcoming workers. I highly, highly recommend Movement to those who are looking to try rock climbing. Thanks Movement, I'll be back

This gym is known for being large, and I find that to have more advantages than disadvantages. There are occasions where others’ lack of etiquette makes it frustrating to climb during peak hours. I also wish they didn’t allow their boulder holds to get so greasy and filled with rubber. Those issues aren’t frequent enough to where it stopped me from coming back almost every week. The facilities are clean and spacious, including the lounge area.

I was visiting from AZ and decided I that I wanted to climb before I left for home. Milo and Jess were awesome! They were very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed before climbing. The routes were very fun and the environment was friendly. Definitely will come back next time I visit.

The setting at this gym is definitely superior to Golden and Baker locations. I really wish I was closer to it or I would be here all the time. The routes are so varied, make you really think, and force technique, some of my favorite things. I feel like a kid in a candy store, so excited to try all the routes. I wish they would rotate the setters and have them set all the routes Golden and Baker too!

As being a member since 2017 (originally Earth Treks) I find it very disappointing how this "new and improved" climbing gym has turned undoubtedly corporate. I’d hope to see a change in their “core values ” in the near future otherwise I have no reason to return a visit. (this gym was my worse experience... don't bother)

As a gym rat who lives in a truck and drives across the country stopping at every climbing gym, gotta say this is a pretty nice one. It's easily the largest gym I've ever been to, it's twice the size of a typical big gym. I only bouldered, but they set pretty hard and technical. Outstanding route setting. They have a good variety of holds and volumes, several slabs and several caves. The grading feels very accurate. They could stand to set more technical hard slab and dyno problems. The ones they had were nice, however there weren't any decent hands free slab problems. It was very busy when I got there at 5:30, with the after work crowd, but by 8:00 the cool cats came through to project the hard stuff. I settled in for the night in front of a really nice v7 with about half a dozen other people working through the beta. It was a really fun experience, definitely some of the friendliest people of any gym I've ever been to. If fate guides me to Denver, I'd be a member at Movement in a heartbeat. Cheers.

What a fun place. Also been to the Golden location. Fun for kids and adults alike.

This is my favorite Anytime Fitness and the first time I’ve ever felt I’ve had home gym. The staff is so friendly, the space is always so clean and the members always are so respectful of one another. They have longer staffed hours which helps me feel safe as I tend to come later and by myself.

This gym is fantastic. The routes change often enough that it keeps it interesting but not so often you can't project something. The route setters are great when it comes to variety and keeping climbs interesting. There's a big bouldering area but I go for the variety of top rope and lead routes. The staff is friendly. The only drawbacks are the price, which is steep, but if you go a lot it's worth it. The other drawback is that the place can get crazy busy some days and you end up waiting for walls - especially when some are blocked off for classes.

Lots of space, really great bouldering and lead climbing. I enjoy the long overhanging lead walls at this location. Plus the yoga studio has really cool wood finish.

Best climbing gym in denver. I don’t Boulder much, but they have the most dynamic routes for ropes and lots of variety. Also a good regular gym and class variety. And the staff has always been super nice

Sure, here's the updated review: I recently visited Movement in Englewood and had a fantastic experience. The gym offers a wide variety of climbing options, including top rope, lead climbing, and bouldering. The routes are challenging and well-maintained, and the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. In addition to climbing, Movement offers a variety of fitness classes, including yoga and other group fitness classes. The classes are led by experienced instructors who create a welcoming and supportive environment. What's more, there's a gym area with free weights, which is a great addition for those looking to do strength training. The gym is clean and well-organized, with ample space for climbers to spread out and work on their routes. However, it can get crowded around 6 pm on weekdays, which can lead to some waiting times for popular routes. Additionally, parking can be hard to find during peak hours, so it's best to arrive early or plan accordingly. Overall, I would highly recommend Movement in Englewood to anyone looking for a top-notch climbing gym. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced climber, you'll find plenty of challenges and opportunities for growth at this gym. The range of services offered, including yoga, fitness classes, and a gym area with free weights, make it a great option for anyone looking to improve their overall fitness and wellness. Just be aware of potential crowds and parking challenges during peak hours.

Love this place! More than the abundant routes that are well kept is the super welcoming staff. As a new climber I came in shy, but my belay instructor put me at ease with his patient instruction and great attitude. I seem to meet other friendly climbers often. I always get a hello and goodbye from the front desk. Seems like people enjoy working here which is nice.

Amazing gym. So much stuff to do. Workout equipment isn't lacking. Boulder problems are varied and great. Rope sections are fantastic. Only complaint is that it's so good everyone and their whole extended family is in there from 5pm to 8pm Monday though Thursday. So packed you cannot find a parking spot and you really need to watch out below you if you're gonna fall. Please build more locations so I can work out after work.

Hate to say it, but it's time to pull the plug on Movement. We went on a climbing trip in November, returning to the gym in January. During that time, the rates were increased, but minimal (and I mean next to zero) new routes were put up. We've been at this gym for years, and like many of the recent reviews by members that have been here a long time, the disappointments are adding up. When you don't change routes, the routes get dirty (yeah, 2 months for a route being up is just too long), and the crowds just keep getting bigger, it's just time. If Movement would refund their rate increase and commit to a schedule of maintaining the routes (like a number of new routes per month) and the facility, we might reconsider. But for now, I would not recommend being a member here. There is no way the response below is true. We are ending our membership.

Excellent climbing gym and really helpful workers! I had a hand injury so I couldn’t climb for a while, so I had to put a hold on my membership. Given the circumstances I asked if they could waive the hold fee. Their system doesn’t allow that, so they worked out something else with me. The details were complex, but the effect is that I got a free hold on my membership! These people are the best, and I’m thankful for their willingness to work with me.
