Parkour is the most effective training method!

Skill Classes

All our regular classes are designed to teach you how to do incredible things like balancing on rails, vaulting over barricades, scaling walls, and swinging on bars. The best part about it is, you’ll be having so much fun, you won’t even realize you’re working out!

Strength Classes

The best supplement to our regular skill based classes, these group fitness classes use bodyweight exercises and circuit training to improve general strength, fitness, and stamina. Workout structure is different every class and designed by Strength Coach Charles Moreland.

Circuits Classes

Movement Circuits class is so fun! No experience required. An instructor will craft a movement line and present it to the students move by move, monkey-see-monkey-do style. Before you know it, you’re moving like a Parkour pro!

We hear this all the time! We understand the anxiety and truly want you to know: it will all be fine!

Parkour is not something reserved for “fit” people. That is how most sports operate (e.g. running, tennis, soccer, basketball, etc). Parkour is a “training discipline” like weight lifting is. No one says, “I’ll wait until I’m more fit to go to the gym to workout.” Working out is how you get more fit! Parkour is exactly the same… just more fun 🙂

Great question. Our Movement Circuits and Strength classes are perfectly designed for a hybrid environment where everyone, regardless of athleticism can feel challenged.

Our skill classes have two levels: Level 1 and Level 2. Our level 2 program focuses more on dynamic skills and more fast paced learning. The learning environment is more open ended and less “do exactly this”.

There are recommendations for what your fitness capacity should be before enrolling into your first Level 2 class. You can see those here.

We’re here for you! We have plenty of members who work or learn best in a private 1-on-1 setting or there are students that have very specific goals in mind (“I need help preparing for my first 5k or my first Tough Mudder”).

If private sessions are more your thing, send us an email and we’ll work with you to get you scheduled.

How to prepare for your first class

Students will also need their own indoor training shoes (a pair of tennis shoes that have been cleaned off and not worn outside since cleaning). You can change into these once you get checked in with us at the front desk in the gym.

Bringing a water bottle is best, but we do have a water fountain available.

Wear comfortable clothes and an open mind! You’ll be crawling on the floor, running up walls, and doing some really weird (but TOTALLY AWESOME) things!

Expert guidance

We get it… It can feel daunting trying something new. We’ve all been there, though, and our expert instructors are ready and waiting to help you feel comfortable getting started on your movement journey!

The only thing you need to begin is an open mind! There are no special shoes to buy (although we have some recommendations) and no expensive equipment either. All you need to do is walk into our space and you’ll see why 9,814 Rochesterians have come to take classes in our 11.5 years in business.

Training Time

Parkour Training isn’t about being told what to do… It’s about exploring and playing with your own movement. The more you explore and the more you apply the techniques you learn, the more understanding you gain of how movement works. You get what we call Parkour Vision: the ability to look at the world around you and instantly know all the things you can do, can’t do, you can see all the challenges, but also all the movements that are easy for you to do.

Training Time is one of the most important training services offered. The open environment is how Parkour began: with a group of friends in the suburbs of Lisses, France exploring and playing with the landscape around them, creating and overcoming challenges.

During Training Time, you’ll be able to take the skills and techniques from classes and apply them in new ways. Students who partake in classes as well as training time see a dramatically faster rate of progress than students who only attend classes.

You’ve come to the right place – but not in the way that you’d expect!

There’s a difference between something done and something done well. We specialize in the latter. In the gym, you’ll be presented with opportunities that resemble those found on the popular TV show, but the focus will never be on “completing it, at all costs.”

Instead, you’ll be surrounded by instructors that will explain to you the mechanics involved in every motion. You’ll learn how to not only accomplish the challenges presented, but to do so with elegance and grace. In turn, you’ll learn how to safely progress your training and not destroy your body frivolously.

The magic of our space

The Rigid Environment

It’s not an accident our space looks rough, blocky, and unforgiving – it’s designed the resemble the real world around us. Life doesn’t care if you trip on the sidewalk, slip on the stairs, or roll your ankle. Our gym isn’t about changing the environment to suit us, we teach you how to adapt to the unforgiving world around you. This is training for life and all its unpredictability.

Modular Design

Our entire gym was designed to be modular. Our training makes us adaptable people, so why would we design a space to be permanent and unchanging? Every season (and sometimes more), we tear apart the gym and rebuild it with new shapes, new layouts, and new structures. It feels like a brand new gym!

Is this safe?

Yes! Absolutely, this is safe!

The most frequent feedback we get after someone’s first class is, “Wow, this isn’t at all what I thought!”.

You will NOT be jumping off of tall objects.

You will NOT be doing flips off walls.

You will NOT being doing anything that could be construed as risky, reckless, or dangerous.

We take safety very seriously and we love being healthy people. Our instructors have all undergone a minimum 3 month apprenticeship before becoming instructors to learn proper training methodology and proper spotting techniques. More importantly, a gym is a sacred space where humans train themselves to build themselves up, not tear themselves apart. In our gym, you will learn how to respect your body and how to train in ways that will make you stronger and more coordinated than you have ever been!

Additionally, our programs continue to maintain an injury rate of less than 0.8 injuries per 1,000 hours trained. For comparison, check out the graphs with common injury rates for other, more traditional sports.
