I'm so extremely jealous of everyone that has access to this gym!!! There's so much space, so many walls, so many routes... it's really a climbers heaven! - PARKING - HUGE parking lot - there's no way you wouldn't be able to grab a spot, even at the busiest of times. - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - Staff is extremely friendly!!! I haven't visited a climbing gym where they weren't, and Earth Treks is no different! I've already touched upon the gym itself, but wow - you really can't describe in words how massive this space is until you see it for yourself! - RATES/CLIMBING - $22 for a regular day pass, $18 for students. Save some time by filling out the waiver online - make sure you do it only a few days before/the day before as it gets lost in their system if you do it any more in advance! We were able to do Top Rope and Bouldering routes - I saw they had a Speed Climbing wall, but unfortunately it was locked. The Top Rope walls are all VERY tall, I think the tallest they mention on their website is 60ft. Lots of variety in terms of difficulty, so no worries if you're a beginner or more advanced! Same with the Bouldering routes - there's plenty to choose from, no matter what level you're at. - OVERALL - Earth Treks has plenty of other locations scattered around Denver as well as other states! I would absolutely love to check out other spots, as well as come back to this specific Englewood location. I would 100% have a membership if I lived here!!!!

Edit: The senior director reached out to me promptly after posting this review. She listened patiently and emphasized with my concerns. It's not often that you have someone reach out that not only cares about your experience, but wants to make it right; really speaks to the integrity of the organization. So impressed. Original review facility itself is 5/5- it's phenomenal. There is a vast array of routes for TR and lead plus a pretty impressive bouldering area. Near the back, there is a gym with various weights and cardio machines. Overall, super clean gym with reasonable prices for a day pass and rental. Now the reason I give this place 1 star is the absolutely horrendous treatment my guests and I received from one of the staff members. We are out of state PLUS new at climbing, we have a couple months under our belt. Our gym at home already has the figure 8 knots at every route so we didn't have a need to learn them. The woman who helped us, explained we needed to learn how to tie them. We stated he hasn't before and asked if she could help us. With a dismissive attitude she told us we should just google it and we had one chance to pass, and then walked off. I have never felt more belittled at a facility where I'm supported to have fun with an emphasis on learning and safety. We found another staff to help us out and he was wonderful- so kind and patient. Before he came around I was so upset with how I was treated I couldn't even focus, thank goodness for him. If she was my only option, my guests and I would have left. I'd also like to mention I traveled from out of state to visit this gym so yeah, not a great impression. Also, never got an apology from the girl. It nearly ruined my entire experience. All that being said I would ABSOLUTELY go back! Just wished I lived a little closer. Highly recommend :)

Amazing gym. It's so clean and the walls are so high. They have 2 auto belays for speed climbing and Grigris for all of the top rope routes. The setting was creative and felt very true to grading. Friendly staff. Childcare Center. Huge open gym area and yoga room. Tons of snacks and gear at their shop. Entire area dedicated to bouldering. I had a chance to check this and the Movement Gyms out and have to say that they're all great in their own ways.

We had to freeze our membership, ($8.00 monthly) starting in early December because of the new policies with the lower capacities and the reservations being full. Our schedules aren't always mashing well either! This is no way Earth Trek's fault and I am still going to give my favorite rock climbing gym a 5. Yes, I fell in love with this rock climbing gym and it's going to stay that way! We usually come very late at night, and also notice some major changes in the last 90 days. There were a couple times we showed up on a waiting list and we only had 30 minutes to climb. This is a new operation for EarthTreks, so we never want to fault them for anything. This gym is AMAZING, and we've been rock climbing only so much in 2020. The gym recently reopened back in July or so, and with my group of friends and the hubby, we tried to take the opportunity to really climb. I am hoping to unfreeze my account for January, but realistically in February, and continue to pay my $89.00 a month! Earth Treks has virtual yoga classes going on, but their yoga studio remains out of service. I sometimes go hangout there when I take a break from the walls. The front counter sold me a wonderful pair of vegan rock climbing shoes for $80.00 that were made in South Korea! They have face masks in their counter and lots of hand sanitizer everywhere. Some of the cleanest restrooms, but their locker room remains closed. I go online all the time and make reservations for Nick and I and sometimes have luck going on Wednesdays during the day. I'm not sure if EarthTreks is still allowing walk ups before 3:00pm. They are only allowing us to book 5x a week maximum, which is why we froze our account, because Nick loves going more than that. Unfortunately, I wanted to bring my sister as a guest, but the gym will not be accepting day passes, member guest passes, or selling 7-visit passes. Looking at their website currently, and you know what? Walk ups aren't even available anymore! BUMMER!! stay tuned for updated review.

Solid 3.5 star climbing gym! Positives first: - climbing wise on ropes, for the beginner and intermediate climber, your setters are right in your sweet spot - in general, all route setting is really really good IMO I like it even if the grading is all over the place - super clean gym along with locker rooms being well looked after - workout facility is great! - ample parking - generally friendly staff - tall walls, clips are a bit tightly spaced, but you'll be able to get your mileage in - relatively low crowds and not overly packed - IMO the monthly rate is pretty low for what the gym is - they are good at making towels available - the circulation and chalk filtration is good - the holds are clean! - they'll change the music upon polite request - AND they have really long open hours that cater to many people's schedules Negatives: (these are really nitpicking because of what the gym could be to make it so much better) - filling out the online website form for feedback on the gym and route setting (per their posted instructions) goes unread or more specifically, never responded to - climbing wise on ropes, for the advanced and elite climber, you'll find the grades aren't calibrated and are all over the place. You'll also climb out most of the gym and need to start making up your own difficulty through link ups - route setters do not review Kaya app feedback nor respond to it - no physical route setting map nor route schedule on display to know what's new, what's coming down, or what's going up. In general there is no adherence to setting schedule if you find the pdf online, nor is there consistency in change out of areas (some routes stay up for multiple months when others get swapped out every couple weeks) - lead instruction is not done in their instruction area claiming the walls are too short for proper lead instruction and not safe for big lead falls they teach (yet there are draws up in the area) - lots of wasted wall space for routes in rope area, the speed wall is rarely/never used and could have routes on it, and the slab-overhang wall has only one featured route for TR, no draws on it and is replaced maybe once a quarter instead of changed out regularly - quantity of routes could be increased. Some anchors have one line when others have two lines. And it's inconsistent which anchors will get the two lines or one line - no anchor number indicators mean climbers on lead and TR are often climbing over each other - after the el cap gym corp purchase, rope climbers are no longer allowed to use the bowline retrace (not the double bowline, but the bowline retrace is now deemed unsafe) Last note. Bring your own water. Water tastes bad. That's the city of Englewood though, not the gym's fault. A nice enhancement would be to add in their own purifying system for us.

In the Denver area visiting family and decided to take advantage of an indoor activity to escape the snow storm. Movement has plenty of great climbs from simple bouldering to some solid top rope ceiling climbs. We made an afternoon of it burning our forearms and legs. Prices are reasonable and the staff is truly helpful maintaining a safe and enjoyable experience.

I've been a member of the EarthTreks location in Golden since the start of this year, so naturally when I heard that a second location was opening up I was pretty ecstatic. This gym has everything you need, and I truly do mean everything. It is the largest gym in the entire country - that's pretty impressive! Here are some awesome things you can look forward to if you decide you want to check out ET Englewood: - Lounge Area - Super tall climbing walls (55ft I believe!) - Extensive bouldering area - Gymnastics training area - Fully equipped gym with cardio machines, free weights, barbells etc. - Workout room for group classes - Yoga studio - Each top roping wall is equipped with GriGri's - yes!! - Super friendly and helpful staff members So what are you waiting for?! Go check it out!
