Movement Valhalla

Such a welcoming experience here at Movement Valhalla. Had the pleasure of meeting Nick, the manager—what a guy! Clearly not afraid to get his hands dirty to keep the gym spotless for the community. Could tell he takes pride in his work and holds the gym to a high standard. You don’t see this kind of dedication every day. Whether it’s handling the front desk, keeping the floors pristine, or ensuring everyone follows the rules, Nick does it all with passion. A true asset to the gym!

A fantastic, long-standing climbing facility that's served the lower Hudson Valley for 15+ years. You won't find a sauna or a coffee bar here- instead you'll find passionate and knowledgeable staff, a welcoming and uplifting community, high quality instruction and programming, and routesetting that is memorable, varied, and very fun. The smaller facility lends itself to an engaged & welcoming community. People know each other and help each other even if they're strangers. People cheer each other on. The vibe from the staff also help carry this kind of atmosphere throughout the facility. It's not something you will easily find in other gyms in NYC/CT. Seriously, the staff here is exceptional. They bring a remarkable amount of diverse backgrounds and climbing experience, which is evident in their enthusiasm and guidance. Even if you're a newbie or a pro-climber, the staff's attitude and willingness to help others really nail down the supportive and encouraging environment at Valhalla. This place is a shining example of what a climbing gym can be when it prioritizes both exceptional climbing and a strong sense of community. Thank you, Movement Valhalla!

Really terrible experience. Went there for an climbing pass and was prepared to pay extra fee for the additional month when Nick a manager there rudely and racistly, decided he would not honor the agreement. Then I had to argue and fight with him who was vividly angry and flexing in front of his pubescent staff to get a refund for the money I spent through their website. He actually tried to claim his phones didn’t work and he could call to try and get my refund. He acted like he was incensed over having to help me. So uncourteous and unprofessional. He pointed at the floor and told me to stand behind the line as if f he were a cop and I was a criminal. Climbed for 20 years and dozens of gyms and never experienced such a nasty attitude. Total bummer. I’m guess it’s a New York thing.

Feels like family. Very interesting problems, many of them useful if you want to train for climbing outside. Loads of training equipment. Great place with a great vibe.

This place is a true diamond in the rough, standing out with its unique charm amidst the flashier, newer gyms. What it lacks in paint, it makes up for with authentic character that money simply can't buy. The space is thoughtfully designed to cater to climbers of all levels and all types. You can be disabled and still have the support to make it up those walls. As it gets harder to find spots that brings communities together I think Valhalla shows what makes a climbing gym truly great.
