Movement Climbing, Yoga & Fitness Partners with Karma8a to Bring Bold Climbing Apparel to Select Gyms in the U.S.

Movement becomes the first in-person U.S retailer for Karma8a’s design-driven apparel line

(PRUnderground) July 9th, 2025

Movement Climbing, Yoga and Fitness, the nation’s largest network of indoor climbing gyms, is excited to announce a new retail partnership with Karma8a, the globally recognized climbing brand known for its bold aesthetic, community-driven ethos, and edgy, design-forward apparel.

Starting today, Movement Gowanus and Movement LIC become the first U.S retailer where climbers can shop Karma8a’s core apparel line in person. This partnership reflects Movement’s ongoing commitment to highlighting independent, climbing-forward brands that speak directly to the evolving lifestyle of its community members.

The collaboration introduces Karma8a to new regional markets and offers Movement members and guests the rare chance to browse and purchase the brand’s signature pieces on-site—something previously only available online or in select international locations.

To support the launch, Movement has developed a localized campaign spotlighting community climbers and the Karma8a apparel line. The campaign will roll out across Movement’s digital and social channels, helping drive awareness and engagement around the new offering.

This launch marks the first time Movement has rolled out a retail partnership of this kind, underscoring the company’s mission to serve not only as a place to climb but as a lifestyle destination for the climbing community.
