Triple digit people walked through our doors yesterday for the Grand Re-Opening! That’s never happened!!!

We’re so excited for what’s to come in 2020. Thanks to everyone who made it out and moved around. Also, for those who missed it, 1v1 Lava Tag WAS INCREDIBLE!!! That was a dream come true for me. I can’t wait to do it again and maybe have more time devoted to matches.

Fun things on the curriculum this week:

• Tonight’s Acro is happening right now because I’m posting this late 🙁 Have fun doing Bkicks and Btwists!
• Tuesday’s Time Trial’s will be slalom themed with very few actual flags. Lot’s of opportunity for quickness
• Wednesday’s Movement Circuits is groundwork. Prepare for hip rolls!
• Thursday’s Level 2 is Muscle Ups focus. If you still need work getting your first muscle up, don’t miss this. If you do have a muscle up, don’t miss it. You’ll be tasked with a movement line that incorporates it.
• Saturday’s Level 2 is Bilateral vaults. Probably kongs. But maybe dashes? Who knows?!
• Sunday’s Strength is a 10 to 1. Get wrecked!

Cheers,

Charlie

It’s here! 2020 is knocking at the door!

Reminder, in honor of the new year we’ll be CLOSED Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Don’t party too hard and stay safe out there!

Charlie

Just a quick reminder for everyone that this is the last full week of classes in December! Christmas and New Years are both falling on Tuesdays/Wednesdays this year, so please plan accordingly.

Fun things on the curriculum this week:

• Tonight’s Acro is being taught by me again (Charlie) and we’ll be running through Back Flips again with extensions available for flipping off things
• Tuesday’s Level 2 has a games focus. Games will be as much conceptual as they are physical. What does that mean? Show up to find out!
• Wednesday’s Movement Circuits is Level Changes! Get up, get up, to get down!
• Thursday’s Level 1 focus is bar swings. If you need to get some good ol’ hanging in on those shoulders before the break, come to this class.
• Saturday’s Level 2 is back to Acro Vaults. I’m not sure what Josh has planned so now is a good opportunity to make requests so he can prepare.
• Sunday’s Strength is ISO-Sore Day! Please don’t make me regret telling you this….

2019 is almost to a close. Let’s make this last full week of services the best of the year!

Charlie

Only 2 weeks until Chanukah and Christmas! RocPK Gift Cards make great gifts… Jus’ sayin’ 😀

Fun things on the curriculum this week:

• Tuesday’s Lvl2 is centered on Dash vaults and Dash c-c-c-combos
• Wednesday’s Movement Circuits is perpetual vaults! You’re gonna vault the world!!!
• Thursday’s Level 1 is all about rail vaults. Same vaults as always, but on an object that’s only 1.5″ wide. Great for all skill levels here. Strength class is going to be a 10 to 1. Get wrecked!
• Saturday’s Level 2 is laches and bar swings.
• Sunday’s Level 1 focus is Step Switches. Don’t know what they are? Don’t skip this class!
• Monday’s Acro is keeping on with the backward focus and will be Back Tucks with me (Charlie)! For those who have their back tucks already, we’ll be working up to linking our tucks out of round offs, back handsprings, and scoots.

Also, VIP Party is coming up. It’s a private grand opening celebrating our new space and the wonderful members that it houses. Nicole and I will be making all the food from scratch.

Charlie

I hope your Turkey Day was restful and delicious. Note scheduled closures for the Christmas and New Years holidays.

Fun things on the curriculum this week:

• Tonight’s Movement Circuits is Level Changes to get your heart pumping.
• Tuesday’s Time Trial’s slaloms course will be vault filled to get your body moving.
• Wednesday’s Level 1 is creative combos. Movement focuses include monkey turns and cartwheels.
• Thursday’s Level 2 is going to be filled with jumping and swinging challenges plus pop vaults in Level 1.
• Saturday’s Level 1 is contralateral vaults like step vaults and thief vaults. Josh has some fun thief vault dismounts planned.
• Sunday’s Strength is chalk full of stability focused drills.
• Next Monday’s Acrobatics class will be guest taught by yours truly.

Be sure to check out our VIP party happening on December 21st. If you weren’t able to get tickets during our initial fundraiser over the summer, nows your chance to join in the community fun.

First thing’s first – We’ll be closed on Thursday for Thanksgiving. Go spend time with loved ones and take stock of all the good things that fill our lives!

Fun things on the curriculum this week:

• Tonight’s Movement Circuits is going to led by Nicole
• Tuesday’s is geared up to be a crazy night! Level 2 is a giant Balance Challenge Course followed by Time Trials with a focus on fast paced planning. I’ll be changing the course objectives every run and students will only have 60 seconds to plan their path!
• Wednesday’s Level 1 is Shoulder Rolls. If you’ve never learned them or need a refresh, this is the class to go to.
• Thursday you should eat good food and laugh a lot! It’s required!!!
• Saturday’s Level 2 is Parkour Golf with Josh.
• Sunday is going to be excellent for anyone looking for a Triple Header – Challenging Footwork drills with Nicole, Volume Circuits in Strength, and Full Body Mobility Flows to finish

See you all in the gym!

Charlie

Just a reminder to everyone that we had to cancel this month’s Challenge Night. I’m interested in adding in a new monthly event called Game Night where we just focus on one movement game. If we were to do that, what days work best for you? Either comment on the blog, our Fb post, IG post, or let us know in person.

Fun things on the curriculum this week:

• Tonight’s Acro is Side and Front Flips!
• Tuesday’s Level 2 is going to include a TON of ascent work and changing levels. Good opportunity for a workout here! 🙂
• Wednesday’s Movement Circuits is Perpetual Add-On which might be my favorite of all the class formats
• Thursday’s Level 1 is Thief Vaults! This vault is one of the most fun and immensely applicable to lots of movement styles. Level 2 is Kip Outs! This WILL NOT be held on the AirTrick.
• Saturday’s Level 1 is back to classic Parkour – jumps!
• Sunday’s Level 1 is Wall Passes. If you need a refresh on the basics, get on this.

Charlie

AAaaaaand, suddenly it’s Winter I guess…

Fun things on the curriculum this week:

• Tonight’s Movement Circuits is Footwork in the front bar cage. Expect nonsense (in a good way!)
• Tuesday’s Time Trial’s is going to be in the back of the gym and will be a much longer course than normal. Great workout opportunity here
• Wednesday’s Level 1 is bracchiation. Don’t know what that is? Don’t miss this class 😛
• Thursday’s Level 2 is going to be heavily focused on flag tag. If you’ve never played, you’re missing out. Also, Ankle Stability Intensive for Mobility!
• Saturday’s Level 1 is bilateral vaults like pops and kongs. These skills are super fun to play around with as Vince is demonstrating with his Kong-Cat in the gif up there
• Sunday’s Strength is back to basics with strength intensity circuits. Come ready to work hard!

In random news, the Front Bar Cage might be on its way out and getting redesigned. If you have ideas for what you’d like to see in that space, hit us up!

Hope everyone’s Halloween was fun! Thursday was a blast with our ninja warrior themed obstacle course with everyone in costume!

Notable highlights this week:

Tonight’s Acro class prompt was changed to Backflips.

Last Tuesday we ended up not being able to play Capture the Flag because of some substitutions that had to happen. That means CTF is back on for tomorrow!!! Don’t miss it.

Wednesday’s Movement Circuits Class is level changes. If you have yet to experience the joy that is climbing up, then climbing down, then climbing up, then climbing down, then climbing up, then climbing up, then climbing down, and then again, climbing down… well, you’re missing out 🙂

Dash vaults take focus for Thursday’s Adult Level 1. They seem way harder than they are.

Saturday would make for an incredible double header with Bar Swings and Laches in the Lvl 1 class follows by Acro vaults in the Lvl 2.

Cheers everyone!

Charlie

Sorry for the late post everyone!

New boxes are in the works – you’ll see the newest one already out. It’s big. It’s boxy. It has cute little eyes. I want to call it Johnny 5, but I’m open to suggestions!

Lvl2 tonight (Tuesday) is going to be a Ninja Warrior style obstacle course. Prepare yourselves!

Halloween is Thursday. Feel free to wear Parkour appropriate costumes to anything this week – no capes or slippery gloves 🙂 Lvl2 Class on Thursday is getting dropped, but I’ll be posting up fun Open Gym Challenges for those who wish to attend.

If you need a refresh on Wall Passes or Bar Swings, Saturday is your day.

That’s all! Stay safe for Halloween
