About Us

Movement is committed to creating communities where everyone belongs, sharing our life passions (which often include climbing, yoga, and fitness…but not always), and inspiring philanthropy through our actions. We recognize that our team members are the pillars of our business, and because of this, we have created career paths in gyms where they didn’t exist before. We pay competitive wages, develop leaders, and focus on DEI internally and externally.

Our core values of partnership, inclusion, passion, innovation, and integrity define how we operate, behave, and interact with each other and our members. Using our values as a guide, we are building an extraordinary team where each member plays a role in fostering communities and inspiring social impact through our gyms in California, Colorado, Illinois, Maryland, Oregon, Texas, and the Washington D.C. Metro area. Join us!

About the Apprenticeship Program

Movement is actively looking to build diverse routesetting teams that represent the communities we serve. The Routesetting Apprenticeship provides an opportunity for new setters with limited/no experience to learn the ins and outs of the Movement setting program, and to develop a core set of skills and an understanding of the routesetting role.

This is a temporary position that will run for 6 months. Upon completion of the program, future setting opportunities are possible but not guaranteed. The first 4-6 weeks of the program are intended to provide a basic introduction to the role, workflow, and safety considerations; the remainder of the program will be an opportunity to gain experience putting this knowledge into practice. Apprentice setters are asked to set 1-3 days per week, depending on the skills learned, needs of the gyms in the region, and potential commitments to other positions.

• Assist with washing and sorting holds

• Additional tasks and projects as assigned, based on skills learned and needs of the gyms (including but not limited to: assist anchor/safety inspections, set the system board, set for and work setting-related events and competitions, attend required setter meetings)

What success looks like:

• Maintain a clean hold room, hold washing station and keep up with the demands of hold washing.
