Golden
Welcome to
Located just outside Clear Creek Canyon and a stones throw from the iconic cliffs of Eldorado Canyon, Movement Golden was built to inspire all climbers. It’s two-stories high and has private spaces for introductory classes as well as expert terrain including an overhanging arch and a top out boulder. And we know the Golden community loves to cross-train so we honor this lifestyle with well-stocked fitness areas, campus and system boards, and a yoga studio with views of Lookout Mountain.

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️🌈
Our 2023 Pride shirts are here, illustrated by Portland-based artist Karen Ceballos @ka_wren_ceballos! We`re excited to donate $10 from every shirt sold in June to a local LGBTQIA+ community organization, @coloradonamechangeproject!
@ka_wren_ceballos is a bird and rock enthusiast, an outreach specialist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and an illustrator. She also loves Latin dance, and you can find her teaching queer bachata night or sweating on the dance floor! Her artwork strives to celebrate LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC folks in the outdoors and the biodiversity that surrounds us. Since moving to Portland, one of the best things that has happened to her is finding community in queer and other affinity climbing groups.
While we’re celebrating Pride month, we also want to acknowledge the on-going and, in some cases, growing anti-LGBTQIA+ developments in some of our regions, particularly increasing anti-transgender legislation in a number of states. These actions are in opposition to our core value of Inclusion. We stand with our LGBTQIA+ team members and community members year-round by striving to create brave spaces for all to participate in climbing, yoga, fitness, and community. Check out the various Pride month celebrations and LGBTQIA+ meetups happening at our gyms this month and beyond!
New art, who dis? 🎨
Big thanks to community member @zaratified for the newest (and raddest) addition to Englewood!

3️⃣ YOGA POSES TO GIVE YOU THAT EXTRA REACH with Golden yoga instructor Juliana
These three yoga poses will help strengthen your shoulder and upper back muscles, increase mobility, and reduce your chance of injury when going for those hard-to-reach holds.
1. Eagle Arms
👉 Cross one elbow underneath the other and bring your palms together. While keeping your ribcage down, start to lower then lift your elbows.
2. Scapula Circles
👉 Shrug your shoulders and push through the ground with your hands to move your scapula towards the outside of your rib cage. Round your shoulder blades and send your scapula down towards your hips. Pull your shoulder blades together and bring them towards your ears. Continue in circular motion.
3. Dolphin with Chin Tap
👉 Start on all fours with your forearms on the ground at shoulder width apart, elbows under shoulders. Tuck your toes under your ankles and lift your knees off the ground, sending your hips to the wall behind you. Press through your forearms to keep your shoulders rounded. Shift forward and tap your chin between your hands. Return to starting position.
Want hands-on help? Sign up for a Yoga for Climbers workshop with Juliana at the link in our bio!

Happy #NationalPetWeek!

HOW TO: spring clean your climbing rope 🪢
Your climbing rope keeps you off the ground, isn’t it time to give it the loving care it deserves?
Learn how to clean your climbing rope from Movement Gym Director Krista at the link in our bio. ↗️
Celebrate your greatest outdoor adventures with this special Earth Day route 🌎☀️
Start by climbing a tree (wooden holds) until you find yourself pulling over a ledge, much like the end of a pitch on a rock face. Then you hop over a gap similar to the one on the 2nd Flatiron. Finish up by traversing a snowy mountain range and you’re treated to flowers and the sun for the send.
Swipe for photos from the rest of our Earth Day Rendezvous!
Friday vibes ✌️
We’re putting up fresh sets (in between naps😴) for y’all to enjoy on this too-chilly-for-April weekend! Come climb!
It’s bath time for your favorite holds 🛁🧽
Ever wonder how we get climbing holds squeaky clean? Check out this behind the scenes, highly educational video.

3️⃣ TIPS FOR PULL-UPS with John Orth, former world record holder + current Movement community member 🥇
Back in 2018, John broke the world record by completing 7,600 pull-ups in 19 hours. So you could say he knows a thing or two about pull-ups 😉
1️⃣ Pull the bar down instead of lifting yourself off the floor
2️⃣ Rotate your shoulders down and back
3️⃣ Keep your elbows down and behind you
John is sharing his expertise with us during TWO pull-up workshops this week, completely FREE for members and guests with a day pass.
Spots are limited so sign up today at the link in our bio!
