New gym is giving *blue steel*
Get ready for really, really ridiculously good training at Movement Mountain View. 💪
✨ Soon, you’ll be flexing on:
• Rogue FT-1 – full-body functional strength, so hot right now
• Glute Builder – because strong glutes never go out of style
• Rogue Leg Sled – more power, less drama
• Turf training space – for your most runway-worthy conditioning
We’re in the final stretch 💥 Just waiting on a few things from the city, and we will share an opening date as soon as we can. We know you’re excited (and we are too!) and truly appreciate your patience as we work through these last details.
Shout out to our Model Pat! Sunnyvale’s very own Alpine Fit Instructor 😎
🧗♀️ SF’s Technique of the Month: Mantles
Mantling is a technique where you press down on a hold and rock your weight over it—like getting out of a pool without a ladder. It’s all about body tension, balance, and trusting your feet to finish the move.
🎯 Pro Tip: Think Press & Shift
• Push down on the hold like it’s a countertop
• Step high and press through your foot
• Shift your weight over your hand to stand up
Climbing in SF? Look for TOTM stickers on roped and bouldering climbs to help you practice the technique!
Looking for more technique classes? Check out our climbing calendar for upcoming sessions across our Bay Area gyms!
PARADOX MILE IS BACK @ Movement Sunnyvale!

They are passionate about engaging and welcoming everyone who is interested in participating, and at their core, they believe in building community.

Meet John, the artist behind the new murals at Movement Mountain View! 👋
John Patrick Thomas is an Oakland, CA-based muralist, artist and illustrator. His vibrant murals combine observational drawings and imaginative storytelling to transform public spaces with artwork that celebrates local culture, community and our shared connection to the natural world.
“For my mural at the Movement Mountain View gym, I wanted to feature drawings from the sketchbooks I’ve filled during my adventures around local climbing spots. My goal was to create a composition of small scenes that flow together, unfolding like a series of memories from a climbing trip. I hope my murals communicate in a clear, universal way, so that people of all backgrounds and experiences see their own joy and stories reflected in the artwork”.
Huge shoutout once again to @hellojthomas 🌟 If you missed the full mural timelapse, check out one of our recent reels!
🧗♀️ SF’s Technique of the Month!
We’re dropping into one of climbing’s most powerful positions 💥 The drop knee helps you twist your hips toward the wall, lower your center of gravity, and stay stable on steep terrain or reachy moves.
🎯 Pro Tip: Get Twisty with It
• Turn your knee downward and inward across your body
• Press through your toe and engage your core
• Keep your hips close to the wall to stay balanced
Climbing in SF? Look for TOTM stickers on roped and bouldering climbs to help you practice the technique!
Looking for free member clinics? Check out our climbing calendar for upcoming sessions across our Bay Area gyms!
Watch this wall transform before your eyes— @hellojthomas absolutely crushed it. 🎥🎨
📍Mountain View
When NorCal and SoCal setters team up, you know 🔥 routes and boulders are coming your way! 👊 Huge shoutout to Jordan and Matteo from the @movementgymsfountainvalley team for visiting and setting with our SF crew this week.
Check out their sets on the island (10-degree wall) and the prow of the top-out boulder. Enjoy!
🔥 Shoutout to the Alpine Fit crew in Sunnyvale for crushing their quarterly class challenge! 👏😎
This powerhouse group took on the 2,000-meter row baseline challenge, trained hard, and smashed their previous times! If you see them putting in work at the gym, show them some love—or better yet, jump in and train with them!
“The Alpine Fit community is all about support and pushing limits together.” – Erin, Alpine Fit crusher
They meet Tuesdays at 5:30 PM outside the north garage near the bouldering area. All skill levels welcome! 💪
Spring is here! 🌸 Temps are rising, the days are getting longer, and the stoke is high! But first, a little throwback to all the fun we had this winter! ✨

It’s never too late to find your sport. 💪⛰️
Some passions take time to discover. For Diarmuid and Mary, climbing became the sport that challenges them, excites them, and keeps them coming back for more—proof that it’s never too late to start something new.

🧗♀️ SF’s Technique of the Month: Flagging
Struggling to stay balanced on the wall? Flagging is a footwork technique that helps you counterbalance and move efficiently by extending one leg to the side or behind you. This keeps your center of gravity in check, preventing unnecessary barn-dooring (when your body swings out) and making tricky moves feel smoother.
Climbing in SF? Join their Technique of the Month clinics and look for TOTM stickers on bouldering and roped climbs to practice flagging in real-time. SF setters design these routes with balance and technique in mind—perfect for refining your skills!
When the SF and South Bay setters unite, you get a stellar set on the ramp 🤩
