We’ve officially been given the go ahead to start moving into our new space this coming Thursday, July 11th!

It’s been a long time coming and the move got pushed several times due to unforeseen factors, but this move means that we’ll be up and ready for action on Monday July 15th!

Official move day is Thursday which means we’ve gone ahead and canceled all Thursday classes through end of day Sunday the 14th, but it’s possible that contractors will be done in our space by the end of the work day on Wednesday. If that’s the case, we’ll be alerting everyone through our newsletter for the last minute closures of our Movement Circuits, Youth level 1, and our Adult level 1 classes. Kids and Tiny’s classes will be held as normal on Wednesday, no matter what.

The new space is really starting to pull together. Our beautiful new full pane windows were installed last week and they’re a real game changer for us.

We also have three times as many super bright LED lights!

Our front entrance won’t be completely done getting the same beautiful brick that our current entrance has by Monday, so any one coming to class will still use our current (old) entrance and will walk through our current space to the door in the back. We’ll let you know when the new entrance is available for use. The new entrance is going to be gorgeous though and we’ll have a nice big window that looks directly out into it.

Thanks again to all you amazing community members who have been patient with us during all this craziness! We appreciate you greatly and we’re excited to be able to have a space that can be more accommodating and better in every way for you and your family!

The Rochester Parkour Gym is about to get a HUGE make-over! This means more space, more equipment, and more activities!

Unfortunately, it also means more expense…

When we introduced RocPK 2.0 back in the Spring of 2014, we started an Indiegogo fundraiser to offer the ability for our amazing community members to help off set the unexpected costs that were going to take place from the move. Now that we’re 5 years older, we also think we’re 5 years more mature and responsible and have decided that another crowd-funding event isn’t necessary for us.

At the same time, many of you have been asking how you can help with the move and what you can do to help. While we still don’t know specifics on when exactly we’ll be moving or how much we’ll need volunteers, we’ve come up with a fun way for you to help us offset unexpected costs while also getting more awesome swag!

A t-shirt that embodies the spirit of Parkour!

So many people in today’s society go through life feeling trapped by their own bodies! This becomes exasperated by a fitness culture that has grown to idolize how someone looks rather than how someone moves. This trapped feeling builds and builds and soon becomes an illness of perpetual self-doubt that comes to life every time a person sees something and instantly says, “I couldn’t do that,” having never tried.

Parkour is the antidote for this systemic epidemic on today’s society. Through training movements, we become more capable, more balanced, more agile, stronger, and more adept. Each individual skill is a thread and the more skills we learn, the more these threads weave themselves together to become the strongest safety net we will ever have. It’s a safety net that is always in place, ready to catch you when life throws you a curve ball. It’s a safety net that is invisible to everyone but you and it’s also a safety net that can never be bought – it must be earned.

You have this safety net. Now tell the world how they can own one, too. Learn skills, not fear.
