Welcome to Rochester Parkour! This post will serve as a FAQ and a guide to assist you.

First off, Rochester Parkour, or RocPK, has been teaching in the Rochester area since 2007! We’ve helped thousands improve their balance, coordination, and learn how to have fun again by utilizing play. We’re sure we can help you too!

Have no idea what parkour is? Our Director just recently gave a TED talk on the subject! Be sure to watch it and also read up in our about page found here.

Here are a few Frequently Asked Questions?

Is parkour safe?

Yes, parkour is one of the safest activities you can try. Through slow, progressive challenge, you will expand your abilities more than you ever dreamed possible and you are the sole decider in how fast you improve. Our instructors are some of the best around and through parkour, you will find you will become more balanced and coordinated than ever. Many of our students explain how they feel safer when playing other sports because of their parkour training!

Is parkour hard?

Yes and no. Parkour is training your body through progressive challenge. You won’t be jumping off walls (in fact we rarely do) your first day, but you will be pushing hard learning how to crawl, vault, balance, and climb. 

I’m nervous I won’t be good right away

No problem! Parkour is not any single action – it’s a mentality about constantly improving. There is no “good” in parkour and no one will be judging your abilities. In fact, many of our first time student are shocked at the positive atmosphere we have in the gym and the community.

How do I contact you? Where are you located?

The gym is located at 121 Lincoln Avenue. Our email address is info@rochesterparkour.com and our phone number is 585.204.7537.

UPDATE – Barbarian Workshop Postponed

UPDATE – Unfortunately, due to some unforeseen circumstances (and the barbarians getting a baller workshop gig in Moscow), we’ll be postponing the workshop until January 2013. Information and registration will open up again in late December. 

Mark your calendars – The elite bodyweight strength group from NYC, the Bar-barians, will be coming to teach two unique workshops at the Rochester Parkour gym on October 27th.

The Bar-barians are a team of elite bodyweight specialists, founded on the goal of achieving physical perfection while providing the ability to motivate, inspire, train and treat our members and guests with respect and professionalism. Bar-barians was founded in 2004, in Brooklyn, New York.

These workshops will be beneficial to anyone looking to progress their bodyweight strength abilities – either just starting out or working on advanced level techniques.

The first workshop runs from 2-3:30pm with the second running from 4:30-6pm. Each workshop is $55 or $90 to attend both.

Both workshops are limited to 25 participants so reserve your slot early. Head over to our registration site to sign up.

Date: Friday 13th
Time: 8-11pm
Cost: $5 suggested donation

Join RocPK for another Movie Night projected on the big screen! It’s Friday the 13th so it’s only fitting we host in honor of the bails we’ve all experienced.

Come watch the greatest of the greats slip up and find themselves unbalanced and in the moment – we’ll also be watching the new documentary “People In Motion“!

Afterwards, we’ll be hosting a small community workshop on break falls and bail safety techniques to make sure you know what to do when the moment strikes. Refreshments will be provided.

See you there!
