Movement Portland

“I absolutely love this gym! The routes are interesting and the staff are wonderful. They have a great selection of classes”

“They like to celebrate every alphabet occasion there is. But if you want ropes in Portland, it's the way to go. Expensive but what isn't I guess. Stingy on guest passes. But anyway the climbing part is great.”

“Casual climber here - and this review is for the casual climber. If I had to sum my review into a single word, it would be pretentious. I go climbing on occasion every other year. Everywhere I’ve gone, it’s been a smooth and easy experience with staff who are great on giving quick refreshers. Decided to try this place out today with a friend, got the guest pass, and was disappointed. First off - you have to enter phone number, address, and a bunch of personal information, just to do the guest pass. I’m sure this is to spam me with offers in the future 🤮 Staff said that we’d need to pass the belay check to climb, which is fine. 👍 I guess I just didn’t realize that they expected people who are saying they are casual climbers to know everything without any kind of help? (Like I said, this review is for the casual climber). We obviously failed our first check, went and YouTubed a quick 5 mins and felt comfortable with it all again! Then went back and was asked a bunch of different questions than before… and then were offered classes and told we could only boulder. I support safety, I guess the experience was just different than any other gym. Where I could say “yeah it’s been a minute, remind me of some key points after not climbing for 2 years” - instead of - you must know everything, we will give you no help, and if you don’t know everything you must take our class, which you must sign up to be a member for… blah blah blah… Like I said, just felt pretentious compared to any other gym I’ve been to.”
