About

Movement Harlem

Movement Harlem is a bouldering-only gym on West 125th Street, across from the Apollo Theater and close to the A, B, C, D, 2 and 3 trains. It opened in July 2021 as The Cliffs at Harlem and now trades as Movement, like the other Cliffs gyms. Movement gives the gym 16,000 sq ft and calls it the largest climbing gym in Manhattan.

Climbing

  • Hundreds of boulder problems across every grade, on a range of wall angles in an open-plan hall under an arched roof
  • Training equipment including campus boards, a Tension Board and an LED MoonBoard
  • No ropes or harnesses needed: shoes and chalk can be hired

Beginners can start with a 90-minute Introduction to Bouldering class, and a family version teaches parents and children together. An Introduction to Technique class, an intermediate technique package, private coaching and an adult training team help climbers progress. The gym runs a members' team bouldering league, the Harlem Grand Prix, and hosts competitions, including a Nor'Easter Bouldering Series round and a USA Climbing youth qualifier.

Facilities

There is a fitness area with strength and cardio equipment, a yoga space with classes through the week, HIIT classes, locker rooms with showers and a gear shop, and the building is ADA accessible. Youth programmes include after-school clubs, camps and competitive teams. Community nights run every month, including CRUX LGBTQIA+ meet-ups, a BIPOC climb night, a Ladies+ night and a community night for members and visitors.
