The day has finally come for New York’s first parkour facility to open its doors! Come and learn how to swing, jump, climb, and vault. Create your own course, set your own goals and challenges and work hard to conquer them under the guidance of Charles Moreland and other community members.

We will be kicking off the opening with three FREE workshops:

– Street self-defense, from Certified Combat Instructor Dave Rapp
– Stretching and mobility, from licensed massage therapist Graham Musler
– Beginner parkour techniques, from certified strength coach Charles Moreland

The workshops will rotate every 30 minutes allowing everyone the chance to partake in all activities for free.

After the events conclude, we will open the gym up to whatever free training you want.

Schedule of Events:

3:30 – 4:00pm – People arrive
4:00 – 5:30pm – Free workshops
5:30 – 8:00pm – Free open gym

Invite your friends, invite your family, come get involved! The gym is located at 121 Lincoln Ave, Rochester, NY.

*Due to space limitations, we may need to cap the workshops at 20 people each. Please come early to ensure your spot.

Hey movement specialists,

Last weekend Rochester decided to throw us a curve ball and continue its relentless snowing and cold weather. This weekend is looking to be better with multiple forecasts saying mid 40’s with a 20-30% chance of rain. That’s good enough for me! This weekend we will be doing our first Leave No Trace of 2011 in Manhattan Square Park from 2:30pm to around 4pm.

If you have never been to one of these, please bring work gloves and be sure to wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. If you have brooms or shovels, those would also be appreciated. Rochester Parkour will be providing some supplies as well as contractor bags.

See you there!
