CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Who is ready for some rock climbing? A state-of-the-art climbing facility and gym is coming to Wrigleyville this fall.
El Cap, one of the nation’s largest communities of indoor climbing gyms, announced plans to open their first Movement facility in Chicago's Wrigleyville neighborhood this September.
Movement Wrigleyville will be located at 1115 W. Addison St., right across from Wrigley Field, and will cover 43,000 square feet with over 12,000 square feet of climbing walls designed for all levels, beginner to pro, by Walltopia, a global leader in interactive climbing wall installations. Additionally, the new indoor climbing facility will also feature strength and cardio fitness zones, a yoga studio, saunas, and a fully stocked gear shop.
Chicago’s newest climbing facility will span three floors which surround a central atrium that’s illuminated by natural sunshine from skylights some 50 feet above. Separate areas for weights, cardio, and yoga occupy their own floor and overlook the multiple climbing areas for an open and fluid workout environment.
Movement Wrigleyville will host a full lineup of adult and youth climbing classes led by a friendly and knowledgeable coaching staff. In addition to climbing, high-quality yoga and group fitness classes will be included with memberships and day passes.
“Adding to the rich and diverse climbing community in Chicago is one of the primary goals our new facility,” said Jen Torrent, District Director at Movement, in a statement. “As adventure enthusiast ourselves, we want to meet and welcome others into our space and offer them support, training, and a bunch of fun bouldering problems to master!”
Movement Wrigleyville will open in early September. Movement’s second Chicago gym in Lincoln Park is also slated to open later this fall.
