Movement climbing + fitness: a great pre-seed paper workout.
This is one of my favorite places to be at 8 am on a work day. Now I know I should be working by now, but hey, all seed paper no play makes Tom a dull boy. Movement climbing + fitness just opened up this summer and is great addition to the climbing gym collection in Boulder. I say collection because there are three gyms within about one half mile of each other. Movement is only a city block away from our headquarters.
This place can be quiet a 8am. It's like a blank canvas this time of day.
This is what it looks like later in the day.
I love what these guy have achieved here. They put their money where their mouth is. It is not cheap to build a commercial building with the level of environmental ethics that these guys have demonstrated, especially in Boulder. Here is what they say about this on their website.
“We are proud to be Boulder’s newest and most energy efficient climbing and fitness facility. A combination of ample daylighting thanks to Jim Logan Architects design, solar panels and solar thermal heaters fromLighthouse Solar providing over 80% of our energy, and high-quality, efficient building materials and practices from Harrington Homes and Costen LLC have helped to create one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly commercial buildings in the country.”
Reading their story in our local newspaper was a catalyst to setting up solar power on our roof. Much of our power will soon come directly from the sun, hopefully by the end of the year.
