I had a very disappointing interaction with the front desk today. I purchased a Petzl Neox on Thursday and was not informed that sale would be final since it’s safety gear. I used the Neox yesterday and it felt unsafe to me. It loosely allows slack from the brake strand to slip back through the device unless there’s constant tension on the rope. We hoped to exchange it for a normal grigri (which is half the price of the Neox) and your front desk did not allow it. We had no way to test the device and were not informed the sale is final, so how would we ever know if the Neox was a good product for us to use? I’m disappointed that your team provided no remedy to this issue and then told us REI would do the same thing. We talked to REI and they confirmed we can return safety gear, they just wouldn’t resell it. This just tells me I should never buy any gear from movement again.

I was about to switch over from Denver bouldering club since I wanted to do indoor sport routes during the winter, but will not be switching anymore. Denver bouldering club treats their members much better than this

I got a membership here as I started to pick up climbing and I'm quite pleased with this gym. The gym features bouldering, top rope, cardio machines, a yoga studio (which doesn't mirrors if that matters to you), a full weight lifting gym, and multipurpose gym areas. I don't think I could find a gym that offers more to it's members in the area if I tried. There are also special events where that they host like trivia night and sometimes vendors that offer freebies. The staff is always friendly and generous with rentals if you're new. Plus, everyone gets a free trial day and members have a guest pass to bring a friend once a month.

However, my experience at this gym hasn't been perfect and I think that's worth mentioning. Firstly, I began my membership near the beginning of the summer where they were running a promotion with cheaper monthly rates. Despite this, I was still charged the full rate of membership for my first three months which is a little unfrotuante. Second, the snacks at the snack bar are a little expensive but they have a good selection if you don't mind the markup. Thirdly, the parking lot uses diagnoal parking spots which can be awkward to park in as some people won't pull into the spot at all whichs blocks the driving lane. OR, they will pull up too far taking up the spot in front of them. Overall, I find that aspect annoying but it is at no fault of Movement.

Overall, I think this gym is great and worth a try if you want to get into rock climbing or use the other equipment they provide!

I have been going to Movement Baker for nearly 3-years. While most people know it for being a climbing gym it has incredible workout and yoga classes as well.
I regularly attend Holly, Amanda, Jordan and Caryn's yoga classes. I've also been to Kaleigh, Julieta, Daniel, and Hope and have always had great teachers!
I additionally do lifting and workout classes with Andres, Cori, Christina, Sam and Ethan, and have equally had great experiences!
This only emphasizes the workout and yoga parts of the gym, and doesn't even begin to encapsulate the great bouldering and climbing aspects of the gym. If you aren't going to classes here you are certainly missing out!

Usually a great gym and routinely soft on the grades but good setting either way… until this dating app comp thing the last month or two. It’s all euro comp and ninja warrior climbing with no rock climbing like sets and very few climbs at that. Straight bad setting on all walls (cave sort of an exception) Bring back crimps and body tension, no need for 100% gymnastics in a climbing gymnasium ;(

Oh yeah. Bring the clock back.

I've climbed at Movement Baker over the past few years and have always enjoyed it (even more so after the upgrades to the mats and the weights area upstairs). Recently, I took a Learn to Lead with a GriGri class. Kaia was my instructor and I have nothing but positive things to say about her. I was definitely nervous going into that class but she was an exceptional instructor. She made sure we all were catching onto concepts, adjusted her approach as needed based on specs (I had specific questions as a smaller climber, and she took the time to answer thoughtfully), and instantly made us feel safe, while creating a fun learning environment. A big thank you to Kaia for helping me get to this next phase of my climbing journey!

I hate writing these but it’s the only way management listens. Just had the worst interaction with the thicker, mullet clad, Asian gentleman with glasses at the front desk. This comes from over the last 6 months the and over 4 direct interactions. They are a power play, he lords knowledge over you. Speaks loudly and down onto you. I’m tired of it. This service sucks. Learn your tones. Learn that you are in the service industry. You SERVE the people not master over them.

I have been coming here since the opening.

One staff member in particular has taken this as an opportunity to boarder-line harness many of the members.

Very nice facility.
But I have to shoutout David Medina. His expertise and professionalism are next to none. He demonstrates a passion for the climbing community that is often lost and overlooked. I think critics of his demeanor are misinterpreted. Most accidents that occur in a climbing gym could easily be prevented if dangerous habits are addressed. No one likes being told that what they're doing is potentially risky and it is a difficult conversation to have. Climbing has grown exponentially in the last 20 years and with that comes change in techniques and equipment. We have to trust our climbing professionals to help us keep up the best standard possible so that we can continue to climb as risk-free as possible.

I was a member of both earth treks and movement many years ago before the big acquisition and I took a long hiatus because of an injury. Coming back I’m disappointed. The setting between gyms is incredibly inconsistent on grades and enjoyability. The gyms dirty aside from the new centennial location, but because of the setting I never go there. And they are often cramped and hot. Because movement has a monopoly on climbing gyms in the area, if you want to sport climb it’s unfortunately the only option in town and because of this they have the power to control all gym pricing across the city (and it’s too high). I also just took one of the worst yoga classes I’ve ever experienced at baker. Forgetting sides, boring flow (if you would call it that) no focus on breath, no room for personal modifications, and it was supposed to be a power flow and there really wasn’t much of either. Their membership price is so high, if they focused on maintaining each gym rather than focusing on expanding and increasing rates for no real improvements (it’s giving greedy), it would be a lot more enjoyable for everyone.

I’ve had such a love-hate relationship with this gym over the years. Yes, this place is a major scene and can be incredibly obnoxious at times. The bathrooms definitely need work and this isn’t the cleanest gym, but regardless, it’s truly one of the best gyms I’ve ever been to. The setting is consistently phenomenal and they always have harder climbs with varying styles. It’s extremely hard to find a gym with multiple options for the 5.13 range, and they always have challenging routes that are accessible for shorter (5’1) climbers. This is the gym where I first fell in love with climbing nearly a decade ago and whenever I’m in Colorado it’s always a positive experience when I go back.

Staff was great very welcoming, $30 for a day pass is a bit steep, the waviers you have to sign to walk through the door are a bit jarring, mentions death, maiming by injury and waving your rights essentially 5-6 times, the weight room section really only has Olympic equipment but no platforms, I came at the suggestion of a friend and the website says they have a full weight room (wouldn’t really say it’s accurate) also about as diverse as a bag of marshmallows, it’s important to me to see people of different backgrounds and nationalities in a “community space” it was clean but really is a very specialized “gym.” No parking and a pain to get there with all the construction nearby if I was white and climbed a lot, didn’t care about parking and only needed squat racks and dumbbells this would be the perfect place. I didn’t have a bad time and again staff was great but not really worth a month membership equivalent to a vasa or 24hr fitness for a day pass

This is the worst of the movement locations in my opinion. They have the fewest options for bouldering and top rope climbing and it seems the least well kept and clean.

I can also echo the sentiments of most other reviews that it is an absolute nightmare to go here weekday evenings. I avoid it at all costs. It seems like it's busy all the time it's even pretty busy at 10am on a weekday sometimes.

They need a cap on membership or some kind of solution. I hate that they're forming a monopoly in the area and wish there were better options in town.

Definitely not the best Movement location in the Denver metro. The parking lot (if you can call it that) is a disaster with a few encampments surrounding it. The staff were fine, but not as friendly and welcoming as the staff at the Englewood location. The bouldering wall is crowded and the holds have seen better days. There is also not a ton of storage (unless I just missed it). I can't speak to the yoga or fitness areas, but I likely won't be returning to climb.

Honestly, I enjoyed coming here at the beginning. The staff is very nice and helpful. However, they keep jacking up monthly rates with no improvements. I'm guessing its to fund the one being built in centennial. There is no regulation of how many people are allowed in at once and that leads to extremely crowded bouldering areas. Only the intro climbing classes are included in the membership price, even though they advertise that fitness, yoga AND climbing classes are free to members. The parking is an absolute nightmare. The lot is nowhere big enough for the amount of people allowed in. For a corporate owned gym they have quite a few things to improve.

Look, I love climbing at this gym but my review will stay at 1 star until movement starts responding about this issue and there can be some sort of remedy. If you’re reading this and agree please join me. People should know what’s going on here.

When I signed up for membership again a month ago, after taking time off for an injury…I wasn’t aware that they would raise their prices the next month… or that this is a trend they play out about every 6 months. Apparently because they are expanding (in my opinion too fast) and are adding another gym in Centennial. They are letting the existing gyms deteriorate, neglecting to even change light bulbs and decreasing pay for route setters so that’s going down hill too. They aren’t paying their staff more and they even let go of staff for fitness and yoga classes in Chicago to pay for a gym in CO that those clients can’t even visit. Oh yeah and the new gym is super close to 2-3 existing movement gyms?! This is starting to look like a predatory monopoly! Absolutely not ok. Further complaints I have are that the lockers and towel dispensers are mostly broken. I was not aware that this was the kind of behavior my membership fees would be supporting and I’m not happy.

A lot of people aren’t happy. Do better movement… rn you get a BIG 👎🏻 for putting profit over people… not only regarding your clientele but your staff too. Shame…

They went corporate and now it sucks. Movement has become more expensive and less appealing. It's impossible to get a hold of someone to manage your membership as they took away that power from their front desk employees, now it takes WEEKS for them to get back to you about anything. The facilities are way dirtier than they were before they went corporate, the bathrooms' trash is always overflowing, gym floor is very dirty and their vents are gross. You can no longer get $2 blocks of chalk, obviously you have to spend a minimum of $15 for a small bag. They took away the climbing rating system (1-5 star rating) and now have to download their app to look at this..??? Their employees are always great and I hope they are getting compensated for their work.

The route setting is great and the lead wall probably the best of any of the Denver area Movement gyms. The bouldering area is small, as is the fitness area. The gym gets extremely crowded and getting a lead rope can be very difficult, with wait times of 1 hour not uncommon in the winter months. During such times, bringing your own rope doesn't necessarily guarantee you can climb, since so many people bring their own ropes you'll still be waiting for climbs.

Good central location, and the routes are switched up fairly often. However, the bouldering section is quite small in comparison to other locations (I'm thinking of Englewood). Almost half of the rope side of the gym is a huge lead wall, so top roping can be difficult in peak hours.

I only boulder, and this gym is my least favorite of all the Movements in the area because the bouldering area here is so lacking. Even if you come during non-peak early morning hours, it gets really tight over in that section really fast. Just doesn’t seem to be their priority to make that section the best it could be, like even if the space is small you could improve the setting, mats, and cleanliness. I now only go to this location when I want to take a yoga or fitness class, or use the fitness equipment, since it is the closest to my house. I guess if you’re more into roped climbing, it’s probably good for you, but for me I’ll stick to Englewood and RiNo.

*Edit*
A lot has changed since my initial review, so an update was needed.
Movement Baker and Earth Treks merged several years ago, and it was one of those rare situations where both groups became better because of it. My old gripes with Movement Baker (the more sterile gym-like feel and the additional costs associated with all their classes and events) were essentially erased. Now, when you walk into Baker, you still get that clean well-put-together vibe... but you also get a hint of friendly "dirtbagginess" that lets you know the community there is serious about climbing. Additionally, a membership now covers MOST of the classes and events offered. You obviously have to pay for things like private coaching, but I don't feel like I'm being nickle-and-dimed anymore. Best of all, a membership at Baker now includes access to ALL of the Movement/Earth Treks locations and their various offerings. At <$100/month, it's a pretty incredible deal.

Baker's roped climbing is excellent.
Baker's bouldering is limited, but consistently well-set.
Baker's other amenities are pretty nice.

The bouldering section here is just, NOT GREAT. Like, it's still a climbing gym and all, but I don't understand why the bouldering area was designed in such a way that EVERYONE is clumped so closely together. There's barely any room anywhere during any of the peak-ish hours. 5PM to 8PM on a weekday is truly terrible. Can't speak for the ropes section.

Just not a good bouldering gym at all.

I used to top-rope on the regular ~10 years ago and needed a refresh! Intro to Ropes and Intro to Bouldering we're both really helpful, as was the free tour (which gets you a free intro ropes course, btw).

Still new to this gym but the facilities are great, the visitors are nice, and the staff has been really really friendly. Getting into climbing/bouldering is intimidating as you can't really practice in private... The course instructors are clearly passionate about climbing; they are engaging and personable, and really helpful/patient in sharing their knowledge with beginners.

Biggest con here is parking, as the other reviews have stated. Even with my tiny car I struggle to find a spot. And the gym gets pretty damn busy at times convenient to my sched. I'd prefer to not have twelve people watch me fail out of V1s... 🤠

Will update as I gain some experience and confidence.

Good boulder setting. Lockers need your own padlock, and are too narrow for a motorcycle helmet.

Remember when Colorado wasn’t bought out by an out of state monopoly and the staff wasn’t so rude about belay tests and forced gri gri use? This place is terrible

Great plastic pulling just outside the city. This gym is a bit smaller than the other Movements in the area. The sets are still a lot of fun and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Everything's always kept very clean. In addition to the climbing there's training and finger boards, basic cardio, barbell, and dumbbell equipment, and the front desk has snacks and some other basic merch. Parking is a bit a hectic during peak hours but usually not a problem.

Although it’s one of the smaller gyms in the area, it’s still quite spacious with a large top-floor workout area with a yoga room, first floor seating and boulder area with various wall types, and a lower-level sport climbing area. Locker rooms are nice and clean with showers. The waiting area has nice seating and a climbing gear shop. It gets very crowded after 5:00pm, but I didn’t have a problem grabbing a fitness machine then bouldering around 6:30pm on a Tuesday.

Love this gym and the staff are incredible! I really enjoy the routes and the instructors and desk are wonderful. Unfortunately the layout of the gym causes it to smell really really bad like feet. I recognize this is a minor issue, but when you’re unable to complete climbs because of the smell it becomes a problem. All the other movement gyms do not have this issue and I’m assuming that’s because this building is older and not as ventilated, I hope this can be resolved with garage doors or some other form of air circulation. Love this gym just wish it didn’t smell so bad.

Been climbing at Movement Baker for almost 4 years now. I have loved climbing here. However, the parking situation has become INSANE. Super aggressive people in the parking lot. Nowhere to park. People driving super fast through the lot to the point I’ve been close to being hit as a pedestrian or even trying to just back out of my space. None of these issues have been addressed with members or mentioned on social media. Something needs to be addressed ASAP.

I bouldered for 30 minutes. Routesetting is 10/10 A+++ enjoyed the problems right up to my grade level, and saw some projects that made me wish this was my home gym. Everyone was super friendly and chatty, I made friends before my warm up was done. This gym brand bought all the Planet Granite gyms in the bay area, so if you've filled a waiver at any of those gyms, or any other Movement's, you won't need a new waiver here. My top rope cert also transfered. The facility is beautiful, all appears new including the holds. The only drawback was the price of the day pass which was kind of high at $25.

Place is bigger than it might appear from the outside. Bouldering area has good quantity and variety of problems but maybe not the most interesting “terrain”. Men’s locker room was clean. They have free loaner locks which I found very useful. Front desk staff was fantastic. Nice table seating adjacent the bouldering and some amphitheater-style seating down near the top rope and lead climbing area. Spotted a selection of fingerboards above the bouldering area.

Came to the Gym today to find no lead ropes, no signup, no e-mail prior to warn climbers that they retired lead ropes. Time to start keeping up with your newsletters and start offering a discount to members until you get a new supply back in.

One of several of the Movement gyms in the Denver area, Movement Baker offers plenty of top rope and lead climbing, a training area and gym equipment, and a medium bouldering area.

Parking here can be challenging during peak hours, as well as finding an open route as the gym is quite busy from 5-8 pm during the week. The bouldering area is medium sized with a small cave area, but I would rate it as the smallest and least preferred bouldering of all the four Movement gyms.

Decent bathrooms and lockers and a few places where you could sit and work, though again I’d say the other three gyms rank better in this aspect too.

A nice option of you have a membership, but I’d pick RiNo or any of the other gyms if you’re bouldering. Climbing is similar at Englewood and Golden.

Facilities were decent, but I wish I read the reviews here about the rude staff and ridiculous belay testing policy. I’ve belayed at other gyms a couple times, and did fine. Here though - staff was elitist, rude, and condescending. Staff tests on actions not supposed to be included in belay test and mocks you if you don’t know how, refusing to provide any teaching. Not a welcoming place to learn for beginners.

Good place to rock climb, but they are only open until 6 pm on Sundays. Seems silly to have it open till 11 on weekdays, then 6 pm on a prime day like sunday to go rock climbing.

The setting on the boulder wall at this gym is consistently very good through all grade ranges. Not sure why the Rino setting is so poor in comparison. Favorite gym in the Denver area.

I have seen an unusual number of people with poor belay technique at this gym..maybe something the staff could keep a better eye on

Canceled my membership 2 months ago and have just received a charge for 311 dollars this place is a rip off and they will continue billing your card I payed for a family package and even confirmed over emails my account was to be cancelled yet they are still charging me. Absolute pieces of trash trying to rip off anyone they can!

Came here for a competition. It's a huge gym and there's some cool areas with exercise equipment as well as some snacks to buy. The routes were decent but they certainly could be a lot better, and I also noticed that a lot of the top rope routes were last added November 1 which means they're not changing the routes often at all. But it is a huge place and pretty well maintained -- it was super clean and the staff was ready to help.

I've been looking to change gyms for awhile now and I figured I'd give Baker a shot Sunday 12/12 around noon. As far as the gym itself goes I felt it was pretty standard climbing gym. It has a relatively small sized bouldering area and the ropes area had a decent amount of routes. The holds were very polished and the setting on boulders/top rope was pretty mediocre.

Unfortunately, I'm unable to comment on lead due to the ineptitude and unprofessionalism of the staff (I will not be including staff members names in this review). Around 1:00 PM I went to the front desk (with it's three staff members present) and asked to do a lead check. I was told that none of them were certified to do a check and the one staff member that could was teaching a class. I left my name with the three employees and was told they'd announce my name when the certified staff was available. I was dumbfounded to hear that on a weekend day only one staff member was able to do a lead check, but I was okay with it and went back to boulder. After about 45 minutes of bouldering I checked in with the front desk just to see if there was an update. This is when the unprofessionalism of the staff began to spike. One of the staff members snapped at me that "We have your name down and we'll call you when she's available." Then another staff member remarked that "You know next time you come to the gym you should call ahead and see if someone is available to do a lead check (I was extremely baffled by this suggestion)." This is when I just started to get extremely annoyed, but I was polite and went back to climbing. After a roped route or two I heard an announcement and went to go to the front desk and check. At this check-in I was told they forgot about calling me up for a lead check and the ONE certified person to do lead checks was busy doing top rope checks at the moment. On top of that they told me after she finished the belay check she would be taking a break and it would be awhile until I could do my lead check. I was again told I'd be called up when she was available. At this point I had truly given up on thinking I'd be able to lead that day, but I figured I could do the lead check at least. It was now around 3:00pm and I began bouldering again. I ended up climbing for about 30 minutes more and never received an announcement. On my way out of the gym around 3:30 I asked at the desk again if I could do my lead check. This time I was told, "Oh, I'm sorry she's busy doing a top rope check right now." Flabbergasted I left the gym.

I don't normally write reviews, but this experience left a terrible taste in my mouth. I've never been to a climbing gym where a majority of the staff present is unable to do a lead check and I've never been told to "call ahead" to make sure someone is present to do a lead check. I understand staffing can be challenging, but this was just terrible. Finally, I know that working in a climbing gym can get busy and hectic (I've worked in a climbing gym as both a front desk staff and as a middle manager); however, that is no excuse to give a customer attitude and completely forget about them multiple times.

Needless to say, I won't be returning to Movement Baker anytime soon.

I'm new to climbing and just joined Movement last month, really for the bouldering in RINO, but have quickly found top rope climbing to be way more fun! The route setting is great, changes often, and I continually hear it's the best of all the big gyms in Denver. I 100% agree with other reviewers that the arena style seating makes it so much fun to watch others climb and the vibe is really friendly and inclusive. Plus, the staff is great - helpful with testing, questions, etc.

Joined this gym a month after its opening. Best yoga instructors in Denver! Plus, the route setting is by far the most fun, interesting of all the big gyms here. The arena style walls make it so fun to watch others climb. Best part-- truly inclusive of all people.

Great climbing gym! I was in from out of town so I did a day pass and was able to get in some great climbing! Awesome walls, super friendly staff! They had plenty of great beginner routes, V0-2s, which is what I spent my time on. I was glad I dropped by to get a climb in!

Most strict gym you will ever go to in Denver. Showers are not available, no classes, most of the time they are out of lead ropes, and the "community" part of climbing seems to be gone because you aren't allowed to climb with anyone unless you knew them before Covid. If they didn't have one of the best climbing walls in Denver, I wouldn't go at all.
