Early Bird Special Extended

We’ve been getting a lot of questions regarding the Summer Camps, and many of you are feeling pressured to buy now and ask questions later. We don’t like that. We love what we do and we truly believe that we provide one of the best services to a growing and developing child. We don’t want you to feel uncomfortable! So, we’ll be extending the Early Bird Special for another week, until May 7th.

Please keep asking questions and we’ll do our best to make sure you get the answers you need.

A couple reminders:

Camps are limited to 10 children per camp and will not run with less than 3 enrolled.
If less than 3 are enrolled, refunds will be processed 1 week before the camp’s expected date.
If for whatever reason you cannot make the camp you registered for, you will be given credit for another camp on the schedule.

Thank you!

Ninja Warrior Feb 18th

It’s that time again – the time where you polish all your new moves and abilities and pit them against the clock to become a champion!

We believe strongly in these timed competitions as they are the true test of your capabilities. You may be able to do some pretty sweet stuff, but can you do them when it really matters? When time is racing? When your heart is racing?

February 18th is the day! 2pm to 5pm.

We’ve got some fun new stuff in the gym and we’re pretty excited about the course.

This event is donation based and is limited to 17+. If you’re an older teen that wants to participate, please send us an email at info@rochesterparkour.com or talk to us in the gym.

Low-Impact Classes

Parkour for the Elderly – Part 1 from Charles Moreland on Vimeo.

Last year, RocPK Director Charles Moreland made this video with our eldest member, Mauro. After spending a year going to Saturday jams in Rochester’s Manhattan Square Park, Mauro greatly improved his mobility and physicality. At 62, he can knock out full range squats and perfect sets of pushups with the rest of us.

Not all parkour is explosive or high-impact. We believe strongly in movement exploration and much of our focus is of the low-impact variety.

The Rochester Parkour gym is now offering low-impact classes, designed for participants with mobility issues or an aversion to explosive movement. This class will focus on balance and coordination drills, slow progression of strength, and will incorporate a unique blend of dance and martial art influence.

This class is open to all
Wednesday Evenings 7-8pm
Cost: $15

Happy Thanksgiving to You and Yours

With my stomach thoroughly stuffed with turkey, stuffing, green beans, yams, and a fine merlot, I want to take a quick minute to wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving.

A quick list:
– I’m thankful for the last 5 years of my life with Rochester Parkour. I wouldn’t be the same person without it.
– I’m thankful that (somehow) the gym is still up and running
– For every smile that comes when someone does something they’ve never thought possible, I’m thankful
– For all of our amazing and supportive members, without whom none of this would be possible…thanks for believing in us and joining our unique community
– Lastly, I’m thankful that every day I get up, I am reminded that I love what I do and who I’m doing it for

Happy Thanksgiving all, see you in the gym Monday!

Executive Director Rochester Parkour

New York City – The Gym Park

Parkour is expanding and growing all the time and while physical spaces are difficult to come by, they too are becoming more popular.

If you find yourself in NYC with some extra time, head on over to the Gym Park and join a session with some of NYC’s finest traceurs. It appears to be all gymnastics equipment which makes for an incredibly fun and springy environment. Check out the video below!

Great work guys!
