Movement Hampden

I love Movement’s location in Hampden. I spent a year in Remington, and came here almost 5 times a week, both to climb and to workout. For climbing - the routes are reset on a great schedule. Just frequently enough that the whole gym always has something new, but slow enough to give you plenty of time to project. It is bouldering only - no top ropes. For the gym - big enough area to work out, even for someone that doesn’t climb at all. The yoga is a great bonus as well. Fun variety of classes throughout the week. Instructors are super fun and accommodating for newbies - don’t be afraid to get in there!

It’s a damn nice place for bouldering. I’ve been to other rock gyms and they were fun but this one has a great diversity of routes and holds. It’s not just like a few walls with some small cheap holds, there’s a bunch of walls with a ton of unique holds big, small, and in between. the walls are also all different angles and rounded so their much better then just straight 90° walls or whatever. There’s this hanging island thing with a peg board, horizontal grip ladder, and those half ball grips which is fun to try and climb as well. There’s routes for all skill sets and even if you don’t want to climb there’s a gym attached and nice places to sit and watch or shop; and right next door a nice ice cream shop and craft brewery. Even though there were a lot of people kind of on the Saturday afternoon I went we still had barely any trouble finding a bunch of open routes and most climbers are like most Canadians, polite and helpful. Staff, walls, amenities, and all are enough for a solid rounded up 5 star review.

Great bouldering gym with a really solid weightlifting area and yoga studio inside it as well. Didn't realize how good it really was until I went to 3 other bouldering gyms out of state. The facilities are kept incredibly clean and organized -- and the style of routes (same color holds for each problem) make life incredibly nice. Staff are also incredibly friendly and more than happy to help out. One staff member spent upwards of an hour helping me find the perfect first pair of climbing shoes to buy, giving me lots of great advice. I've brought multiple friends and family here to introduce them to bouldering, and plan on showing it off even more.

This is a great bouldering gym. I've been going for over a year, and definitely can give it two thumbs up. Clean facilities (with showers and lockers available), full gym equipment, fitness and yoga classes available, and really great staff. A wide variety of climbs are present for all levels, with pretty fun routes (at least I think so). I've been to a couple of other gyms (Movement and non-Movement) and I've learned to appreciate the decent slab walls at Hampden. The community here is amazing, and generally pretty laid back and friendly. It can get packed in the evening, especially between 6-8pm on weekdays, but that is probably all gyms in general.

Very cool! The bouldering walls were great. There wasn't a lot of climbs suitable for semi newbies, it seemed to go from Intro climbs that were super easy to V1's that were pretty agrressive, but the gym was clean, well lit, and we loved playing pool, too! The yoga class I attended was also great. We would definitely go back if we lived in the area.

Bouldering gym only. The facility was clean and staff was friendly. My problem with it is that it’s not a great place for beginners or people getting back into it like myself. The V0s were fairly easy then going into V1s we’re a bit defeating. As well as every time I’ve come it’s been packed with people. Maybe it’s just me but I’d enjoy some more beginner routes.
