Tried out a free intro class at Movement Climbing Gym in Long Island City and highly recommend it for beginners! Here’s what to know: • Completely free (includes climbing shoes and all gear) • 1.5-hour class with both belaying and climbing practice • Easy to book online lots of slots open throughout the week • Great for first-timers or anyone curious about climbing • Instructors are super patient and great at explaining things • You take turns climbing and belaying with a partner • Fun way to try a new activity without committing to a membership Perfect intro if you’re thinking of getting into climbing or just want to try something new and active!
