  Improper City

  May 2017 - now

  Co-Founder & Managing Member

  Justin Riley and Hank Grant, owners of the Rayback Collective, and Mike and Anne-Worley Moelter, founders of Movement Climbing + Fitness, announce details for a first-of-its-kind shared concept in the River North Art District of Denver. Opening summer 2018, the 50,000-square-foot space will feature both Movement Climbing + Fitness (the gym’s third location) and Improper City, a new hybrid food truck park-beer garden, much like Boulder’s highly successful Rayback Collective.Occupying 40,000 square feet of the shared building, the gym proposes to be the largest of Movement Climbing + Fitness’s three facilities. The location will include boulder problems from highly trained and certified setters, more than 50 complimentary yoga and fitness classes per week, childcare, locker rooms with towel service, a full selection of cardio machines and training equipment, its signature stadium seating, and a continued focus on green energy. The south side of the building will showcase Improper City, Denver’s newest community space. It will feature a rotating beer and cocktail menu, an event area, an indoor stage, as well as a 12,000-square-foot outdoor patio—Denver’s largest—where a changing cast of food trucks will cycle. “We believe in integrating our business directly into the heartbeat of each community where we operate,” Riley says. “Improper City is inspired by RiNo’s industrial heritage—it’s attractive and up-and-coming and welcomes everyone. It’s a place where you can grab local food truck fare or a microbrew after work or climbing. If you want to gather with friends or do work or chill after climbing, you can. It’s not a place to be proper.” The building, which was erected in 1947, spans the length of Walnut between 32nd and 33rd Streets at 3201 Walnut Street. Remodeling and construction began in December 2017, and the soft launch is scheduled for summer 2018. Show less
