Movement Hampden

My favorite Movement gym out of the many I've been to. Bouldering routes are super fun and creative, appropriately and consistently graded. Balanced setting between technique and strength so even short climbers like myself can have fun and make progress on projects. Walls are reset biweekly but the gym is large enough that you have weeks to work on a project if needed. Yoga classes are great too and staff are always friendly and helpful. Lots of parking out front and there is a coffee shop, ice cream place, and brewery with food next door. Love this gym so much that I travel from out of state regularly to climb here, my home gym in Philly is notches below.

Okay gym with a lot of great bouldering, but no rope climbing and dramatically overpriced for the value (currently 90-100/month). Even in Chicago, climbing gym memberships for comparable or superior amenities are only 70-90/month. Classes are nice, but similarly limited. Anything beyond intro is expensive even for members which is ridiculous considering the membership price. It's also always very crowded in the evenings due to being the only climbing gym in the Baltimore City area.

Incredible experience. Loved climbing for the first time and the low level routes were really good at introducing me to the sport. I loved how inclusive the gym is. They are queer friendly and non-binary inclusive, which matters to me a lot. I don't often have good experiences at gyms that arent explicitly queer friendly. I left feeling great, winded and more than anything incredibly happy and joyful to be working out. Unfortunately I don't get paid enough to be able to fit their membership fee into my budget, so I'll just have to wait until a friend can bring me along for a free day or with a guest pass or something. It's disappointing, but that's the way life goes.

Really great facility, but the bouldering mats are rock hard and their core power shakes are $8! We don’t even pay those kinds of prices in LA lol total rip off.

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.
