Movement Santa Clara

All bouldering, very modern style with high walls and new holds. There is a kilter and tension board, as well as a robust gym, yoga area, and well maintained locker/bathroom.

Love this gym. Staff are friendly. Workout area is very decent. But 2 years in a row, the A/C always seems broken for a few weeks or couple months. Can't tell if truly broken or if Movement's corporate overlord is trying to save money.Also, after the price hikes this year, there's never enough soap or paper towels in the bathroom.

I took a class on Bouldering here today. The instructor was really great! In fact, all of the employees were very helpful and friendly. I am a total beginner, and they made me feel right at home. People of all ages are here too, which makes it nice.👍 …

I wish I could give negative rating if it allows. The smell inside is very bad. It's hot even with AC on. And the AC is always broken and it takes months to fix. It's way too hot, uncomfortable and crowded in the gym. The holds are significantly more greasy than any other gyms I have been to. Water filter, soap dispenser, and paper towel very often lack replacement / refill. What's worse, the routes are only for dynamic climbers or if you are 6+ft. The idea of the route setters is use an old V0/V1 route, and add one dynamic move, then it becomes a V4, and add two dynamic move, then it becomes a V5. The result is you’ll see people get injured and ambulance comes now and then. Really dangerous. The day pass and membership are expensive, not worth the money.

Lovely gym, lovely staff!Only a few minor gripes:There are no air filters removing chalk to help with the A/C troubles because it goes down every summer (not to mention being easier on the lungs). This is probably a symptom of the huge crowds that find their way into the gym at peak hours, so I guess that can’t be helped. Great facility otherwise :D AC aside, the setting is still awesome and the people are great.

Place was packed on a tue evening. Staff were helpful. Gym had plenty of grades across lots of nice angles. Route grading was abit softer than I'm used to from Singapore. I'm v5/6 in Singapore and 7 here.

My impression 2 months in as a beginner: facility is clean and well maintained. Very friendly staff, lots of options for climbing of different difficulty levels, general exercise/conditioning equipment, classes, good vibes all around… I’d …

Good sized gym with a fair number of climbs in the v3 and under range. I am nursing a minor finger injury so I avoided and crimps and pockets and I was still able to find 42 climbs here v3 and under I could do to get some exercise. Interesting problems in that range, some of the slabs were tricky for that range and they even had some v1s with heavy use of under clings and v2s with heavy use of slopers. So definitely some interesting route setting. Lots of beginners here when I went. So it was somewhat annoying that they didn't know basic climbing etiquette, but the staff tried to kindly remind them. Small shop attached and I was able to get a post climb kombucha. All together a fun experience.

I stopped here for a climbing session as I was in town for a couple days. The place was packed pretty popular and has a wide range of problems. I am in the V3-V4 range so I found pretty interesting problems to solve. The space looked pretty clean and the staff was super helpful. The fitness center was also pretty good and clean. I did not check the yoga center though.

This is a really nice bouldering gym. It is clean, has a nice training area, Tension Board, and a lot of decent terrain. The problems are well set. The staff is friendly and the locker rooms are clean. The WiFi works well.
