There’s no other way to put it, this place is huge and the perfect place to learn and grow as a climber. We have more than 38,000 square feet of varied climbing terrain โ just for some perspective, that’s the surface area of three Olympic-sized pools! And we certainly like to have fun here, from Harry Potter themed parties to canned food drives, we have a thriving community that is always excited to meet new friends. Come for the climbing, stay for the helpful advice from gym staff and motivation from other members cheering each other up the wall.

Earlier this year, we created a new kind of membership, the Teal Membership, as part of our Move with Purpose program. Move with Purpose is our initiative that aims to reduce barriers to accessing climbing, yoga, and fitness.โ
โ
๐ค What is Teal?โ
Movementโs Teal Membership is a need-based membership for those experiencing financial barriers and who otherwise wouldnโt be able to access climbing, yoga, and fitness at our gyms. โ
โ
๐ค Who is Teal for?โ
The Teal Membership is designed to provide individuals with financial barriers access to Movement, and we recognize those barriers can look different. We ask that applicants submit proof showing that they qualify for a local, state, or federal government assistance program of some kind.โ
โ
๐ค How do you apply?โ
If you meet the qualifications for candidacy, head to the link in our bio to learn more + apply!
