“Although this is a bouldering only gym I find the layout, the creativity of the route setting, and the location make up for its lack of tall wall climbs.”

From the reviews

Super clean and fun. There are so many walls and problems to chose from, the staff is so kind and the facility is quite clean. There is ample space to keep distance, lots of natural light, and a great weights/cardio section.

Coming from the DFW area, very excited when I discovered there was a Movement in Harlem during my visit to NYC. It’s a small gym but a lot of routes to try. Came midday on a Saturday and was expecting it to be packed. It was somewhat busy but I never had to wait long to try a route.

Absolutely amazing community! The diversity of the crowd is truly impressive, making every interaction unique and enriching. The atmosphere is fun and super friendly, creating a warm and welcoming vibe. It's also incredibly motivating – the perfect environment to thrive and grow. Highly recommend!

I’m new to climbing here, and during my first sessions I couldn’t find my phone after leaving it on a desk. The staff handled the situation with care and professionalism. They later received a call confirming that someone had mistakenly picked it up, and the whole process was resolved smoothly.
