This gym is known for being large, and I find that to have more advantages than disadvantages. There are occasions where others’ lack of etiquette makes it frustrating to climb during peak hours. I also wish they didn’t allow their boulder holds to get so greasy and filled with rubber. Those issues aren’t frequent enough to where it stopped me from coming back almost every week. The facilities are clean and spacious, including the lounge area.

As a gym rat who lives in a truck and drives across the country stopping at every climbing gym, gotta say this is a pretty nice one. It's easily the largest gym I've ever been to, it's twice the size of a typical big gym. I only bouldered, but they set pretty hard and technical. Outstanding route setting. They have a good variety of holds and volumes, several slabs and several caves. The grading feels very accurate. They could stand to set more technical hard slab and dyno problems. The ones they had were nice, however there weren't any decent hands free slab problems. It was very busy when I got there at 5:30, with the after work crowd, but by 8:00 the cool cats came through to project the hard stuff. I settled in for the night in front of a really nice v7 with about half a dozen other people working through the beta. It was a really fun experience, definitely some of the friendliest people of any gym I've ever been to. If fate guides me to Denver, I'd be a member at Movement in a heartbeat. Cheers.

This place is fantastic. Enormous and plentiful climbing walls with a huge variety of skill levels, routes and interesting themes. Their boldering area is superb too. Despite often being very crowded, I can always find a route without much waiting at all. Phenomenal gym, and great exercise over the traditional boring weight lifting.

Good bouldering areas, great top roping areas. Has a great workout area for lifting/running. Only has a few showers, but the locker rooms have free electronic built in locks you can use.Coming from Pacific Pipe in Oakland CA, this place is a close second, size-wise. Still the second largest climbing gym in the US. However, it could have more bouldering, compared to double floored Pacific Pipe. But the top roping and lead climbing area is unmatched. Even has a dedicated area for belay instruction and kids / birthday parties.Overall it’s a really large and really impressive climbing gym with great route setters. Haven’t visited many of the other climbing gyms in CO, but I can already tell this one will stay at the top when I visit the other gyms. And if you want more bouldering, there are several other gyms around the area that provide just that.(I took a couple videos but it doesn’t look like Google maps allow those? 😂 So here’s a single picture of one of my favorite bouldering areas)

I LOVE this place so much! They have a huuuuge climbing facility. One of the biggest I've ever seen! They have a gym, yoga classes, Bouldering, and locker rooms with showers. The staff are all incredibly friendly! I go here as often as I can!

It's indoor climbing, with a big free weight, spin cycle, treadmill workout area. This place is fantastic, and if you're a member, there are several different spots in the metro/Boulder area. It's a fun way to get exercise. Dig it!

Really great for bouldering. High walls and tons of routes. I'm bummed that Earth Treks/Movement doesn't have auto belay. It's tough when you want to get in a good rope workout by yourself or do some ARC training, but otherwise great spot.

Amazing facility! Been to a few rock climbing gyms and this one is enormous. Staff member James ensured that me and my father had a great experience on his bday! Thank you so much, will be back!

The routes and boulders are not set very well. It seems the setters just run through the boulders without for-running. The grades are grossly miscalculated. Also, many boulders have 2, sometimes 3 variations of the same color making the true boulder/ route hard to find. The setting here was so bad I left after an hour. The movement baker gym has more consistent, properly graded boulders with good moves. I am a v10/11 climber and found most of the harder grades to be very stout in comparison. Most boulders have no flow and seem to have been "thrown up" by the notoriously lazy setters. I highly recommend this gym do an overhaul on their setting regime because this is not like how Movement Climbing has kept their good reputation. It seems as if a child set every boulder, consistency is non existent and crowds build up very fast with their current capacity limits being to high. I would recommend any true movement Climbing gym over any Earth trecks gyms if you want to climb better boulders.

As a new climber I expected more judgemental glances, but the earth treks staff has been kind and personable every day. They remember my name and genuinely care about how I am progressing. Also the gym is huge and lovely. My favorite place.
