31,000-Square-Foot Facility Will Transform Former Retail Space into a Premier Indoor Climbing Destination, Complementing Movement's Existing Portland Gym
(PRUnderground) August 5th, 2026
Movement Climbing, Yoga & Fitness, the nation's largest community of indoor rock climbing, yoga, and fitness gyms, announced plans to expand its Oregon footprint with a new 31,000-square-foot bouldering gym in Clackamas, bringing one of the region's fastest-growing recreational sports to a new community.
Expected to open in 2027, the facility will occupy a former Nordstrom space at Clackamas Town Center, 11900 SE 82nd Ave., repurposing a large-format retail space into a modern climbing, yoga, and fitness destination designed to welcome participants of all experience levels. Located alongside established outdoor and recreation retailers, the new gym will further strengthen the area's growing reputation as a destination for active lifestyles and outdoor enthusiasts.
The new gym will complement Movement's existing Portland location by providing access to climbing, yoga, and fitness facilities and programming for residents throughout the southeastern Portland metropolitan area, reducing travel time for many climbers while introducing climbing to new audiences.
"Every new Movement location is about more than opening a gym; it's about creating a place where people feel like they belong," said Anne-Worley Moelter, CEO of Movement Climbing, Yoga & Fitness. "We're excited to become part of the Clackamas community and provide a welcoming space where climbing, yoga, and fitness bring people together to grow, connect, and celebrate one another."
The facility will focus exclusively on bouldering--a type of climbing performed over professionally padded flooring--making the sport accessible to first-time visitors while offering experienced climbers continually changing routes and training opportunities.
This announcement reflects Movement's continued investment in expanding access to climbing nationwide through thoughtfully designed facilities that foster community, movement, and personal growth.
