Movement Columbia

We’ve been going to this location for over a year now and have really loved being able to get back into climbing. Routes get changed out fairly often so you will often find something new to try. The facility always seems clean and staff is very friendly. It can get extremely crowded after work and on weekends making it hard to enjoy climbing. I would love to see a gym open up in the Annapolis area. There’s a lack of climbing gyms in Anne Arundel and Prince George’s Counties so it would be nice to see Movement fill that need and maybe some of the congestion from here and other gyms can be shifted around. We’ve also seen kids running around on the mats like they’re in a play area or people even doing back flips on the maps. No one ever says anything to them. Staff shouldn’t have to babysit people in a gym setting but some people clearly aren’t mature enough to be left alone. Rates continue to increase like everywhere and is just making it harder to afford a membership. I at least hope they priority paying their staff a livable wage with these price hikes

Awesome spot with bouldering and lots of top rope. Also with decent sized gym and yoga sessions. Everyone was super nice and welcoming. We had a great time and will definitely be back!

This place in my opinion is better than the Rockville location but theyre both equally good in their own ways. Lighting here is good. The ratings are fairly accurate and super fun. Customer service is always good and nice folks here. Spacious with a lot of amenities such as yoga class, weight lifting and much more.

30 ft top rope, with some interesting wall formations they set on. They probably have the most bouldering walls at this location of any climbing gym in the area. Bouldering area can get busy sometimes. Yoga classes and gym are bonuses.

Just celebrated a 7th birthday here with a dozen children. It was spectacular. The staff was wonderful (3) and assisted with all the children (and a few adults). The facilities are vast and amazing.

For the amount of money that members pay, it's ridiculous for this gym to continually have ZERO wipes. It's not just recently but since at least June there's been a problem with the availability of wipes.

It's movement's own POLICY to wipe down gym equipment use, so how are members supposed to do that and care for their own health without wipes??

Ridiculous. Do better!

1/14/24: Here's an update from an update. They called when a class was going to be canceled, which was nice. For the intro to rock climbing 101 class (taken a 3rd time), they added more things as in gave me and the class members a piece of rope to practice tying a eight knot, and handed out paper with instructions for the belay test and things to memorize for the test.

Only thing that annoys me now is that I have to pay for rentals now when I pay monthly membership. Like why?

10/3/23: The experience became mid. The thursday fitness class got canceled without any notice. No one was there for the class so I was confused. The Tuesday fitness instructor is leaving and looks like they won't have another instructor so fitness classes are going to be gone from the sounds of it. The locker doors are all breaking apart...

It's nice having the full experience of using their rock climbing gym since I got the summer membership. So far, I've tried their intro top rope class and yoga foundation class. Loving it so far 😊👍.
