Movement RiNo

The route setting this summer is absolutely tragic. V1-3 is only uninteresting jug ladders and the back area is sparse empty traverse problems in the v7-10 range.

Awesome bouldering gym. Took the beginner's class and it was great. Andrew really knows his stuff and you can tell he cares a lot about the place. It's a really welcoming environment. I can't wait to get back there.

This is the first bouldering only gym I'd been to and it was a ton of fun! The workout area looked really nice and there was a group class taking place. The routes humbled me, but they were fun and challenging to work on. I loved the traversing section, but didn't love topping out on the structures in the center of the room. The only thing I really didn't like was that I didn't get any kind of walk through when I signed in - but I also didn't ask for one, so that's on me.

Normally, very cool spot but lately it's been ~70% comp routes. Hopefully not the new norm or a byproduct of Movement not adequately compensating its (very uniquely talented) setters

This gym is great! The less than 5 star reviews touching on the value for what you get IMO feel very inaccurate. If you are joining to only climb, and only go a handful if times a month, then you simply arent maxing out your membership benefits and thats on you. I appreciate that this gym is super open and relaxed, and the staff is super friendly, not stuffy or intimidating. My partner and i have been members for a fee months now and we both feel this membership is a great value. Yes this is primarily (obviously) a climbing gym but its not JUST a climbing gym. You also have access to their numerous yoga classes, fitness classes, and standard fitness/ workout rooms and equipment. Its honestly a great value when you compare to standard gym memberships. You also are able to use other locations and invite guests. The rino location is the largest bouldering space in the state, and is also connected to Improper city which is a cool social space. I take yoga classes here regularly, use the fitness spaces for cardio and lifting regularly, and just took my first bouldering class to get into climbing. Point being- even if you font climb (at a climbing gym) this membership is still valuable. And its a great way to meet new people! If people are spending money on a membership to only use it like once a week, then maybe dont get a membership and then complain about not using it as well as you could. But thats just me.

Great bouldering facility! It caters well to all ages, offering some neat smaller top out boulders in the front and a large selection of walls in the back. Awesome workout facility closed off from the rest of the gym to keep chalk out. They have both a moon board tension board and adjustable back fill. Ample warm up space. And to top it off the route setting is top notch! They did an awesome job of diversifying the space and I enjoyed the comp style circuit that was set up. If I lived in Denver this would be my home gym for sure. On top of the great climbing they are attached to a brewery which is a great place to end a session or get some work done!

When we visit Denver, the place to climb is the Movement chain of gyms. I’ve climbed at all their locations and this is just as great as the rest. There’s a good quality product on the wall here and the staff is very friendly. The facility is clean and well kept. It is bouldering only but if you are a rope climber don’t worry, there are nice long traverse routes of all grades that are worth doing. Shorter top out boulders are fun and worth doing. There are good training facilities and cardio equipment. It’s the complete picture. Some reviewers complain of the non strict grades (they grade the boulders with a range, e.g. V0-V2), but so what? It’s just plastic on the wall so get used to it, get on the boulders and have a good time. All the boulders I did were well constructed and had a theme to them. There was a good vibe from climbers of many different levels (VB all the way to V-double digit) when I visited.

I absolutely love this place. I love that moment when I am climbing and everything else disappears. Finding that "Flow" is priceless for me. I always know that if I need more cardio I can Jump in a Machine or a rower. I love it! So many options. Update: I've been coming here for about a year. I love that they change the routes regularly. Enough that you stay engaged with new paths, but not so often that you can't keep working on a problem.
