Movement Portland

We were introduced to Movement when we enrolled our son in their afterschool program. It’s a friendly and welcoming place with really great instructors. The whole place has a great vibe. Within a couple of months we were all climbing and now have a family membership. We’re excited each and every time we go. There are routes for everyone and they switch them out all the time. Oh and great events too - like the Halloween climb in the dark (with candy hidden along the routes) and Thai stretch and massage class. We just love it.

Really great gym! Very helpful staff. The gym feels so clean We did top rope, there is a lot of variety in the routes

In my 10 years of climbing this is one of the best gyms I’ve been to. The route setting is great with a lot of beginner friendly routes and plenty of challenging ones. They have been starting to add more 12+ and 13’s on top rope which I appreciate. The routes get reset frequently enough. The weightlifting area has everything you could need. Yoga and fitness classes are phenomenal and staff have always been incredibly friendly and helpful. Honestly I feel like the negative reviews are unfair and picky

I’ve have been in many bouldering gyms. Only this one has a paid parking 2.20 per hour. They do not have a parking you park on the street. Also, I found here pretty small bouldering area. This gym for 1-2 days to do all 2 levels of climbing. If you do a sport climbing this gym fits better but for bouldering it sucks. On the picture you can see all bouldering walls the have. Probably like 6-8 routes each level. Holds extremely greasy. In LA the same chain gym much better for bouldering. No area for kids, they train with adults. Heavily crowded on weekends. I suggest do not buy monthly pass through here. Try it first. I went two times only because of here nothing to do for boulder’s.

Decided to stop in while visiting the Portland area and were blown away - staff were super friendly and helpful, the available routes offered a fair progression in difficulty and diversity in style and the facility itself was truly world class. Will definitely visit again should the opportunity arise. Thanks for an amazing day Movement Portland - we love ya....
