Pricing Changes Starting June 15th

Greetings RocPK Family!

The time has come to inform everyone that starting June 15th, Rochester Parkour will be assessing a price increase due to the rising costs of operating a business. Read on for more detail, or skip to the bottom to see the tl;dr simple pricing chart.

Some background for those that are interested: our little gym has been open and running for 12 years! When we opened our doors for the first time in March of 2011, we did so with a commitment to make sure our program remained accessible and affordable for people in our community and to not be an exclusive, private club. In February 2011, we did some research on what a typical drop in price was for similar activities and landed on our $20 drop in. This drop in price has literally never changed in these 12 years.

It goes without saying, we all know the current circumstances of our local and national economy, and even though we’ve managed to grow in these last 12 years without changing this anchor price, there’s no getting around the math that $20 in 2011 is the equivalent of $30 now.

While we won’t be going that drastic, our new pricing anchor, starting on June 15th, will be a $25 drop in price. As such, membership prices will also be adjusted around this new pricing anchor. Seeing as this price increase still does not match the current inflation numbers, RocPK will be undergoing small, annual pricing increases starting in 2024, with a goal to catch up to inflation rates by 2028.

Full priced, Kids/Youth Memberships will be increasing to $105, up from $90.

Full priced, All Access Memberships will be increasing to $135, up from $120.

Those opting into auto-renew will continue to keep their $5/month Select Tier discount and their $20/month Sustaining Tier discount.

Additionally, we’d like to outline a few changes regarding how our family discounts will operate. Moving forward, we’ll be creating a loyalty system for family add-ons that reflects the same one we use currently for our full priced memberships (the $5 and $20/month discounts we just talked about). However, in order to keep things affordable for large families, the discounts will still be percentage based, rather than flat rates. It’s more complicated, but it ends up saving you more money.

Starting June 15th, there will now be two tiers of family discounts attached to our Select and Sustaining Loyalty tiers.

Select Tier Discounts (status achieved by opting in to auto-renew)

1st Person = $5/month

2nd Person = 10%/month

3rd Person = 30%/month

4th+ Person(s) = 50%/month

Sustaining Tier Discount (status achieved after 12 auto-renewals)

1st Person = $20/month

2nd Person = 25%/month

3rd Person = 50%/month

4th+ Person(s) = 75%/month

RocPK’s 2016 Halloween Gorilla Gauntlet!

Halloween is coming… and so is this year’s Halloween Gorilla Gauntlet! 

The Gorilla Gauntlet is an obstacle course unlike any other, designed to test your strength, speed, stamina, and skill. Rochester Parkour will be hosting two separate events – one adult course and one for kids and teens.

These courses work differently than most you’ve seen on tv or have done elsewhere. Our courses allow you to choose your own course difficulty on the fly to scale to your unique athletic ability. This means that ANYONE, regardless of athletic prowess, can participate and enjoy the challenge of our obstacle course.  

Adult Gorilla Gauntlet

Ages 18+
Open to the public

Kids & Teens Gorilla Gauntlet
Sunday Oct. 30th 4:30-6:30pm
Ages 6+

Open to the public

Costumes encouraged! We are giving away prizes to the best 2; Just steer clear of excessively loose clothing that could impede your climbing abilities! This event is free to watch and $15/person to participate. Members are only $10. Spots are limited so enroll early! See you all there!

New Changes to the RocPK Level Test!

We’ve been working hard to figure out the best method to assess who should move up and when. We’ve tried several different methods in the past, but we are excited to announce our best solution yet!

Video Submissions

In the past, either an instructor told you that they thought you were ready to move up to Level 2 classes or you had to sign up for a Level Test. These methods were deemed impractical because they left out certain people who either didn’t feel like they were noticed or could never attend testing nights due to schedule conflicts.

Our new process will not only give you full explanation of what skills are required in order for you to prove you’re ready to move up, but it also allows anyone to do this at any time! Here’s how it works:

  1. Research and View all the skill requirements for your age group
  2. Practice these skills during Open Gym time. If you need extra assistance on a particular skill, request to your instructor that they cover it during your next class
  3. When you feel like you can perform the skill well enough for the test, take a video of you doing it! Open Gym Supervisors can help video you if you wish
  4. Clip all your videos together as one video or send them all individually using our new online submission form
  5. RocPK will look over your submission and notify you within 7 days of your submission to either let you know that you passed or what still needs work in order to pass the test

Skill Requirements

While most techniques and skills are designed to be completed by both Youth and Adults, there are some that are age specific. We’ve set up two different Imgur albums with handy Gif videos demonstrating what we’d consider as passable performances of all the required skills. These albums can be found on the Level Test page located under ‘The Gym’ tab, but we’ll also embed them below so you can see now:

Youth Level Test

Adult Level Test

Questions?

We feel like this is the most complete version of the Application process to date! However, if you still have questions about the techniques or the submissions, don’t be afraid to ask your instructor or email us at info@rochesterparkour.com.

A New Beginning

Time goes by…

Kind of amazing to see that the last blog post on our roll is from June of 2013. We got busy, and ultimately, I thought I had found my end with writing for a bit. Moves were made, decisions decided, challenges overcome, and new mistakes made. So much has happened since the Summer of 2013…

Rochester Parkour has truly begun to establish itself as one of the leading parkour gyms in the country. Our approach is atypical, bringing an often missed holistic and wellbeing aspect to our training. Our ability to instill good values and bring about high quality movement has drastically improved. It is easily seen through our students movements and training discipline.

This post isn’t meant to be a complete recap of events since the last blog post, but is here rather to signify that whomever we are now is not who we were back then. We have evolved. We are stronger, more complex, and way more passionate about this community than ever before and I think we’re back into the swing of sharing our thoughts and understanding about events, education, and the parkour lifestyle in general.

He hope you enjoy the new us!

-RocPK

Want Outdoor Classes this Summer?

DSC_6593

Parkour is, and always has been, an outdoor activity. Gym’s and other facilities can help foster a safe, effective, and unique training environment, but at some point, those skills learned inside need to translate outside. It’s a whole new world out there. Jumps are different. The ground feels different. For some reason, things you find easy indoors are down right scary outdoors.

We’ve received some inquiries about if we offer outdoor classes aside from our weekly Saturday jams. Currently we do not, but have always wanted to host one of these classes. Those of you who have been lucky enough to experience a class on the outside of the RocPK warehouse know the joys of training parkour on a nice Summer sun day.

To help us gage whether or not we can offer an official class for outdoor instruction, we’ve put together a small survey. Please take the time to respond truthfully – it should take no more than a couple minutes. As a token of thanks for helping us out, upon completion, you may print out the final page of the survey and redeem it for a free class for you or a friend or use it to add an extra week to an existing membership (limit 1 per customer).

Thanks!

RocPK’s 2 Year Anniversary

For those of you who remember, RocPK was a completely different place when we opened almost exactly two years ago. We had only a couple boxes, maybe 800 sqft of rubber flooring, some equipment, and no real admin system. We’ve learned a lot in the last two years and I’m extremely proud of where this community has gone.

From the recent numbers, RocPK serves over 100 families and members. Just last month, our old monthly visits record of 406 got broken by over 50 – totaling to 462 visits in March! We’ve expanded our classes, built new and updated our old equipment, and are in the process of continuing the build out to further create the most unique gym in Rochester and Western New York!

None of this would have been possible with out the strong community members that we have. It is you and your presence that makes this place so great. RocPK is a community and those who patron it are not customers, but friends. Everyone should feel like RocPK is their own.

This month we will be making it even easier to join the community. Firstly, all first time drop-in classes are free – not just the free first timers class on Sundays, but any class that a new person joins, is free. Second, any new membership is half-off this month. That means new people, current students who wish to upgrade from class cards to their first membership, or a basic member who would like to upgrade to an unlimited membership. 

You may redeem these promotions on our MindBody site using these codes:

  • 2yeardropin – Free first drop-in class
  • 2yearhalfoff – half off any new membership purchase

In addition, Saturday the 13th we will be hosting a gathering at RocPK complete with a grill and food for the usual community jam. Registration for this event is up on the MindBody site and is free. Food will be $5 per plate.

Thanks for all the support these past few years. Here’s to many, many more!

Sincerely,

Charles Moreland
Executive Director
