Move with Purpose

Movement / Why Us

move with purpose

Movement’s vision is to reduce barriers to access and protect outdoor spaces enabling more individuals to experience the transformative effects of climbing, yoga, and fitness.

Move with Purpose is our program to help turn this into a reality. Engaging more people in climbing is the key to creating supportive, kind, and courageous communities that extend far beyond our walls. And we’re serious about protecting the places where we play for future adventurers.

We’ve been at it for years, but Move with Purpose takes it up a notch and amplifies our impact to make bigger positive impacts to our neighborhoods.

  • American Safe Climbing Association Match Campaign

    Since 1998, the ASCA has replaced over 75,000 bolts and 40,000 rappel/lower off anchors for maintenance work on popular rock climbs. Their work is made possible by dedicated volunteers and the generosity of climbers like you! Through the month of December, Movement will match up to $10,000 toward the ASCA’s rebolting and lower off initiatives. Learn more about unsafe climbing hardware and how to report!

  • Access Fund Impacts 2024

    This year, Access Fund plans on building a collaborative group to ensure sustainable access and recreation by including diverse perspectives in forest planning & stewardship. Access Fund aims to expand the scope of our work through more inclusive collaboration with Indigenous and underrepresented communities, each with their own barriers to participation due to a history of exclusion and prevailing socio-economic barriers.

    Spring 2024, Access Fund showed up at Indian Creek to share best practices, host events, and partner with local organizations to deepen the ties with the climbing community.

    At Red River Gorge, the Access Fund teams engaged climbers and visitors to the area and partnered with local organizations to foster regional connections.

Who we support

To reduce barriers: We look to enable traditionally underrepresented groups or those who have financial barriers to access the transformative experiences of climbing, yoga, and fitness

To protect outdoor spaces: We look to protect access to climbing and preserve outdoor spaces where our community recreates through supporting initiatives like trail building, garbage clean up, and equipment replacement.

NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS

We give to national organizations that are committed to our community. They are the voice of climbers and our guide in exploring and protecting the outdoors.

National organizations in our current giving program include Access Fund, American Alpine Club, American Safe Climbing Association, and Blk Out Fest.

 

LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS

The team members you see each time you visit the gym constantly develop relationships with non-profits in their local area. We recognize that local giving programs can often make a huge difference, so every year, gyms partner with organizations that positively impact their neighborhood.
