Best Gyms with Yoga Studio near Arlington, Virginia

Whoa the bouldering setting is so fun! Even the V1s are creative. On the upper grades, imo it’s more focused on indoor style than outdoor training, but still awesome. You can tell the setters really care here. Also super legit training area with TB2 and the strangest lavish campus board setup with super low jugs under 🤔

Decided to visit Movement with a friend of mine after looking at some climbing gyms in the area. TLDR, this is a solid climbing gym. Nice people and very clean. Plenty of boulder routes and a nice top rope area as well. Bouldering: All the boulder walls are fairly graded by the route setters and there are plenty of route to choose from. There is also small top out area as well, which is pretty cool. And, its all pretty spacious so while resting you don't feel cramped and in peoples way. Top Rope: Plenty of top rope routes that I saw, but didn't spend too much time there to comment. Gym: Very nice and spacious weighting area. Clean and people are very aware with re racking weights. Quality equipment as well for any type of fitness activity. *Front desk can validate your parking* Overall, a 5/5. Very solid climbing gym.

I have been climbing here for about six months because it is the closest gym option. The gym itself is disappointing. There is a lack of upkeep. For the past three days, there have been no disinfectant wipes in the gym area. This is unhygienic and a bare minimum requirement in my eyes. It is annoying to pay 100+/month for a membership and not have basic upkeep. It is not uncommon to see babies free-ranging in the bouldering area—not safe for anyone. I have seen staff members see this and do nothing. Some of the staff are very kind and sweet while I have had interactions where others are rude. I lost a chalk bag and one staff member looked for a minute in the lost/found closet and told me it wasn’t there. It took a lot of asking and bartering to get them to actually look and get my chalk bag. On a personal level I don’t love the setting. I think there is a lack of consistency in grading and problems tend to lack unique moves and have been feeling bland. The gym area is nice and has good equipment, but again, the lack of upkeep can be frustrating. If you are in this area, I would recommend trying Bouldering Project in Eckington before signing up for a membership here.

Me and my partner were in from the Bay Area and decided to check out this gym to compare to the gyms in our area, and we were thrilled we did. The lady at the front desk was super nice and helped us get settled in for first Friday and we then got to climbing. The routes were awesome and there were some holds that we haven't seen before at our local gyms and it was awesome to try everything. Also loved the bouldering area being its own thing away from the top rope. The members were really nice and welcoming and we really felt at home by the end of the session. If I lived here I would be a member in a heartbeat, both the top rope and bouldering areas were very large and you won't get bored easily.

Great gym, good training area, and systems boards. Staff were pretty friendly. Pretty creative routes and a good mix of climbs. Two nitpicks that keep this from being a 5 star gym: 1. A couple holds were missing set screws near the top and spun. 2. Some of the older sets were pretty greasy and some of the holds were overly polished and probably need to be retired.
