About

About Movement Boulder

Movement Boulder, on Valmont Road about two miles from the Pearl Street Mall, was built in 2009 and was Movement's first gym in Colorado, from the days when the company traded as Movement Climbing + Fitness. A membership here covers every Movement gym in the country.

The climbing

The 22,000 sq ft building holds about 18,400 sq ft of climbing, with roped walls of 30 to 40 feet served by 66 independent anchors, and Movement lists around 104 routes and 87 boulder problems. The roped terrain includes the Grey Wall, which the gym calls nationally renowned, and there are climbing-specific training areas with hydraulic system boards and campus boards. Climbers pass a belay check before they top rope, and a lead check before they lead.

Beyond the walls

  • A yoga studio and a strength and cardio area looking out to the Flatirons
  • Yoga and fitness classes included in membership
  • Locker rooms with showers and towel service, a gear shop and communal seating
  • Intro, technique, lead and outdoor-skills classes, private coaching and an adult training team
  • Youth programmes, from after-school classes and camps to competition teams
  • Regular women's, queer, and Hispanic and Latine climb nights, a weekly low-sensory session, and the annual Cookie Jar Comp, a charity rope competition

Getting there

The gym has its own car park, with limited street parking nearby. It is ADA accessible, with lifts, accessible toilets and accessible climbing areas.
