Movement Climbing Gyms Opens Fifth Bay Area Gym

Movement’s newest gym in Mountain View serves as a third space for climbing, fitness, yoga and connection

Movement Climbing, Yoga and Fitness has opened its latest gym in Mountain View, California—its fifth location in the Bay Area.

The 24,000-square-foot facility opened to the public this week at the northwest corner of San Antonio Road and El Camino Real, featuring bouldering terrain, a boutique-style yoga studio, a full suite of strength and cardio equipment, a community space for members and a dedicated gear shop.

Movement Mountain View is offering free climbing (including gear rental and a basics class) over the weekend of May 17–19 and plans to host an official open house on May 31.

“We’re thrilled to bring Movement to Mountain View and expand our community in the Bay Area,” Movement Mountain View director Ben Le said. “This gym will be more than just a place to climb and work out—it’s a space where people can challenge themselves, build confidence and connect with others who share a love for movement and adventure.”

In an interview earlier this year with Athletech News, Movement Gyms CEO Anne-Worley Moelter emphasized the unique sense of community that sets climbing apart from other forms of fitness.

“The camaraderie that one feels in a climbing and fitness facility is so markedly different from any other type of exercise or sport that I have ever come across that it becomes so encouraging to climb,” she said. “One of the beautiful things is that there are so many different ways to approach it that people of all different skill levels can engage in it together.”
