Three Sports. One Epic Challenge. Infinite Glory.
Ready to put your skills to the test? Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just looking for a fun new challenge, this event is for you!
Here’s the game plan:
1️⃣ Flow through Power Vinyasa with Lisa Skaff to get warmed up
2️⃣ Build strength with Coach B’s Strength & Cardio session
3️⃣ Conquer the “Finish Line” climbing route, set exclusively for this event
Complete all three, and you’ll earn not just bragging rights but a limited-edition Finisher pin to prove it. Plus, we’ve got snacks, drinks, raffle prizes, and good vibes waiting for you at the finish line!
And the best part? It’s FREE for members! 🤩 Spots are limited, so register now and secure yours!
A-D route grading is back! 🌟
As of today (March 3), +/- grading will be retired and replaced with A-D grading at all Movement gyms. We’ve experimented with many grading systems across our gyms, and through our collective experience, we feel that A-D offers the most optimal in-gym experience when combined with consensus grading.
This A-D and consensus dynamic duo offers three key benefits ⬇️
1️⃣ Subjectivity of grading: Your experience with a climb is unique to you! Our setters do their best in averaging their experience, empathy for climbers of all ranges, results on consensus tags, and observations/conversations with the community to inform which grade to place on a climb.
2️⃣ Increased granularity improves the ability to self-curate your experience: We know that tracking progress and performance is important to many climbers, and with a more granular grade offering, session curation and performance tracking is improved.
3️⃣ Authentic to the core of our sport: The most common grading system for sport climbing is the YDS A-D system. Grades vary wildly depending on the area, first ascensionist, ethics, etc., but we feel it is important to align with this system as it provides an experience that is relatable and authentic to the sport.
We’re so excited to roll out this change and we hope you are too! Climb on 🧗
💅✨Talk about a GLOW UP! ✨👸
Our campus board just leveled up in a BIG way—now decked out with a full new set of @tensionclimbing holds, including small, medium, and large edges, jugs, slopers, pinches, and even power strips for training down to 10mm edges!
And because a glow-up isn’t complete without some style, Mitchell Danford added a stunning Columbia Gorge-inspired mural to bring some serenity to your training. 🌊🌲
Big thanks to our Setting & Facilities teams (Mitch & Mitchell) for making this magic happen!

We asked, you ANSWERED!
Y’all really understood the assignment on our recent Community Scroll question, “What is your send song?” So much so, we had to turn it into a playlist for Member Appreciation Week!
111 songs —curated by YOU, for YOU. 💥From absolute bangers to deep-cut surprises (looking at you, whoever put Where my Chicky Nuggies at..twice👀) This playlist is a reflection of this awesome community: eclectic, high-energy, vibey, and a little chaotic in the best way. 🔀✨
Check it out in the link in our bio and let us know—which song is the most on-brand for a send?
*Please Note - Listener discretion is advised as some songs contain explicit content.
It Takes 2️⃣ to make this thing gooooo🎶
Our setters cooked up a special buddy boulder just in time for Valentines day! This route is designed for two climbers to send together, making for some wild coordination, creative beta, and probably a lot of laughs. Think you and your climbing partner have what it takes? Grab a friend and give it a go! It will only be up for a limited time so get on it while the getting is good!
Tag your bestie that you want to try this with and let us know if you make it to the top without yelling “WAIT, WHAT DO I DO?!” at least once. 😆🔥

🏃♀️ Brooke’s 100-Mile Journey 🌄
What does it take to conquer a 100-mile trail race? For @brookeskyd , it was grit, heart, and a whole lot of training. After just one year of racing, she set her sights on the Canyons 100 Endurance Run—
For four months leading up to the race, Brooke dedicated herself to a 4-5 day weekly strength training regimen at Movement Portland, where she’d been a member for five years. The gym had become a second home for her training, and the community here was part of her motivation.
