Movement offers more than an acre of climbing, yoga, and fitness to the active and creative community in Crystal City. This gym has more than 350 routes spread out on 35,000 square feet of climbing walls – ample space for every age and ability. We love helping new climbers learn and offer several introductory classes. In addition, we are a full-service gym with amenities like cardio equipment and weights, yoga studio, group fitness classes, expert instructors, and a fully-stocked gear shop. We are just steps away from the Crystal City metro stop and part of The Crystal City Shops, which is home to a compilation of contemporary restaurants, celebrated chefs and cool cafes – all perfect for après climb.

the perfect way to rep your local crags 🌟
meet the DMV local crags tote bag! designed by the incredibly talented Vy @vyyendo and Helena @helena_pocket, this tote creates an interactive reference for both beginner and veteran climbers to observe and engage with outdoor crags in the DMV region.
if this design looks familiar, that’s because it’s one of two murals designed and painted by Helena and Vy for Movement Rockville in 2023!!
quantities are super limited, so stop in the gear shop and get yours today ⛰
let’s wrap it up ⬇️ here’s some of our favorite stats from 2024!
- our setters set 145,752 vertical feet (that’s over 25 miles 🫢)
- 3,574 yoga and fitness classes were attended
- our community showed out with 510 events hosted!
- we matched over $60,000 in donations to the ASCA & Access Fund
- 2963 ABC cookies were eaten 🍪
- we installed 5 new training boards
- we hosted 25 competitions including Krampus Cup, Summer Smackdown, Timonium 12, and more!
2024 would not have been the same without all of you! 💫 here’s to 2025!
not to flex but…
shoutout to our Movement Timonium employees for letting us put their grip strength to the test 💪
our setters have been channeling their inner artists in the wall 🧑🎨
Here are some of our favorite masterpieces from their latest professional development session! In small groups, our setters crafted a “museum” piece within a frame inspired by design principles like texture and balance, then added starts + finishes to make them climbable. 🖼️
Huge shoutout to Director of Setting, Ward, and Columbia Head Setter, Corey, the curators behind this exercise!
the energy was eclectic, the routes were fierce, Krampus Cup was one to remember 👹
a HUGE thank you to all of our competitors, sponsors, judges, team members, and Krampus himself for making this competition incredible!
Meet our partners
We partner with organizations that help bring down social and physical barriers to climbing and who are committed to preserving and protecting the planet.
