Movement Gowanus, Climbing | Movement Climbing, Yoga & Fitness

welcome the challenge to grow

More than a climbing gym, we’re a path to growth—personally, with your partners, and as a greater community. Our members often talk about how much climbing has improved their lives. It’s not about what grade they can climb—it’s about how much better they feel about who they are and what they can offer the world.

And, sure—climbing starts at hard! But we will meet you where you are and cheer you on every step of the way. The community will push you when asked, pick you up when you fall, and celebrate you for being you.

In every way, I'm new to climbing, so building a solid base is important. My instructor seemed very knowledgeable no matter what I asked, and also scaled the session to my ability, which I appreciated.”

— Terry

We may be new to you, but we’ve been building communities around climbing since 1994.
Here’s a glimpse at our other gyms and some kind words from our members so you know what to expect from us.
“This sport has been tremendously effective at helping us alleviate stress, build self-esteem, dream cooler dreams, and trim down too. I’m very grateful to have found it.” —Lauren
“Just started climbing last Friday and have been back almost every other day since. Love this place and the community there is great when you’re learning.” – Johnny
“If you like fitness and rock climbing but have never tried, this place will change your life. The staff is super nice and recognize when you’re having a rough day (at gym or personal life) and encourage you to push through.” –Zak
“They offer some of the best yoga and fitness classes in the industry lead by the best teachers in the industry. The community that comes to Movement is strong and connected. Thank you for all you do!!!”
“Amazing route setting (both bouldering and routes). I find that to be one of the most important factors in climbing gyms that can make it exceptional and Movement is certainly world class when it comes to route setting. The setters are super strong climbers that set fantastic routes at all levels of ability and in a super wide variety of styles and that are accessible to both tall and shorter climbers.”
