“I cannot express how great our experiences have been at Movement Fishtown. Climbing in general has been a blast and it’s never boring, there’s always something new and cool to try. But recently, Mike P and Matthew helped my boyfriend and I try on climbing shoes for 2+ HOURS. Yes. Two long literal hours. Unfortunately we just couldn’t find a rock climbing shoe that fit my boyfriend’s veryyyyy skinny heel! But when I say Mike P and Matthew literally pulled every single shoe from the back room… I mean every single option possible. Mike P stayed with us longer because Matthew’s shift ended (even though he stayed a little later to help us!). But Mike P was so kind, so friendly, so charismatic, and hilarious too! Everyone I’ve met here has been kind and welcoming but Mike P just took kind and welcoming to a whole new level. Well done Movement Fishtown! You got yourself a legend! Thank you Mike P ((and Matthew!))”

“Beautiful facility, awesome staff, and a great vibe. This place is massive with multiple wall areas with top rope, bouldering, and sport. Also has multiple spacious work out areas and equipment, including separate fitness rooms. The locker room is really nice too. One of the nicest climbing gyms in Philly.”
