Fountain Valley
Welcome to
We opened in 2019 bringing new life into a vacant building that now offers more than 30,000 square feet of bouldering, yoga, and fitness. We honor those with the surf to rock lifestyle and offer plenty of cross-training conditioning and strength spaces. And for those off-days, we hope to see you relaxing on our slackline, in the yoga studio, or in the saunas.

The survey closes on Thursday, April 19. If you would like to be entered to win one year`s worth of membership for FREE, fill out our survey! Head on over to the link in our bio ➡️
No purchase or payment of any kind is necessary to enter or win this draw. A purchase or payment will not increase your chances of winning.
Our Buddy Boulder has been a hit! Find a climbing partner and try these crazy moves together. 🤝
Climbing is an amazing way to connect with people, and sometimes, those people end up being apart of your forever! ♥️ Here’s Do on how he met Allie...
My co-worker told me these girls needed a guinea pig for a belay test - we had folks test with a live climber - so I said, “sure!” In my head, it was a win/win situation. Either girl would catch me and I wouldn’t hit the ground or she would drop me and would probably feel bad! So I climbed up 20 feet, jumped back as hard as I could, she caught me 5 feet from the ground, and that is how I met my future wife.
If you feel like you’re hitting a plateau in your climbing or like you need that extra something to send the next grade, take advantage of this unique opportunity to train with Lisa Chulich!
We’re looking for people to join our team! If you’re interested, check out our job board:

Flashback to routesetting development AKA farting around!
Routesetters and Forerunners from Fountain Valley, Portland, and Chicago all got an opportunity to climb outside together!
Thanks to @katherine.ku for the photos. 📸
Flashback to our Lunar New Year Party! 🧧
I’m already looking forward to next year. 😂
As of today, our gear shop selection has increased by 50%. Did we just blow your mind? 🤯 Keep reading ⬇️
We want to make sure you always have what you need in the gym and at the crag. Whether it’s your first day on the wall or your 100th trad climb, our new gear range was selected with you in mind + from your feedback on member surveys!
Our gear shops now have more gear, variety, sizing, and styles. Starting today you can walk in the gym and discover a whole bunch of new shoes, chalk bags, and more!
As always, we stand by what we sell, and you can expect:
➡️ Knowledgeable guidance, advice, and fittings
➡️ Member discount of 10% off all gear all the time
➡️ Special orders for anything you can’t find in our shops
➡️ A rock-solid promise that if you are not satisfied, you can return any product within 45 days
Lastly, something that is dear to our heart ❤️: We’re adding an eco badge to our selection 🍃 As a community of climbers, we strive to continuously reduce our impact on the planet. So, we’re labeling gear that maintains quality while innovating in environmental sustainability; something that deserves our investment. While no product is fully sustainable, gear with the eco badge represents research and effort by our industry partners to be better.
Follow along with this energizing yoga flow. Commonly known as “Sun Salutation A,” this sequence of postures is a great way to pick up your energy in the morning or to help get you through a rainy day. Be sure to let your breath lead your movement! Pro tip: keep your knees bent to ease tension on your back as you do this flow and go at your own speed (no need to rush).
Bidz and Kat are proud parents to Praj, an international medalist in rock climbing!
Cody, Tiff, and their family are all psyched on climbing, both indoors and outdoors!
Invite your family to join the fun! ♥️
Goal: “I want to make new climbing friends.”
Do today: Chat up someone at the gym. Head to the bouldering cave and initiate a conversation by asking for advice on a problem, commenting on someone else’s send, or giving advice when someone asks for it.
Do next month: Check out our upcoming Valen-CLIMBS Day event! It’ll be a good opportunity to meet a new climbing partner...or life partner? 🤭
Matteo’s Skateboarding History:
Matteo started skateboarding in 1998.
At a young age, he found himself roaming the streets in big metropolitan cities like Los Angeles until 2 or 3 in the morning just to film tricks in famous areas.
The culture of skateboarding filled a certain void of not having any brothers or sisters growing up.
Skateboarding also influenced his passion for videography, photography, and other creative mediums.
He dedicated a decade towards trying to get sponsored by local skate brands, but never found success.
He stopped pursuing the professional dream between high school and college.
The process of skateboarding and the discipline involved with the sport has bled into every sport that he has dedicated his time to afterwards, including rock climbing.
Skateboarding is his favorite pastime to reacquaint himself with every now and again, but his level of self-preservation nowadays is significantly higher than his years as a young buck.
The ball’s in your court, setters.

We`re continuing our January introductions with Do!
Hey there! I`m Do, your friendly neighborhood Movement director here at Fountain Valley. While you may not see me climb as much right now, you will likely see me lifting in the fitness area. Aside from chatting beta, I am more than happy to talk about F1 and your favorite Magic deck. Fun fact - my dog Finn and I both wear the same size t-shirt.
First person to get a 2023 picture of Do climbing in the gym gets a free Movement beanie! Tag @movementgymsfountainvalley with your evidence. Flattery and bribery are allowed; intimidation is not.
