Why We Change Locations Every Month

After much planning and anticipation, Vancouver will soon see its first parkour-specific facility, centrally located on Main & 10th av.
This 10,000 sq ft. space dedicated to parkour, tricking and rock climbing was designed and built by the same people that use it. That means you can expect all the equipment and structures to be of the highest quality, and specialized to help you progress without compromise. Whether you’re totally new or looking to improve, structured parkour, tricking, and gymnastics programs will all be led by committed coaches to build and hone your skills. The personal training programs for strength and conditioning in our no-nonsense weight room promise to keep you at the top of your game for as long as humanly possible, no matter what sport you play.

Why We Change Locations Every Month

Until further notice, our classes will be on hiatus.

Don’t Panic!
You will not be lost and confused! In fact, things will be much simpler from now on! Each month we will be training at two predetermined locations for the entire month.

Why are we changing the structure for Sundays?
So now that you know the spots you can simply go immediately to them each week until the month ends. Warm Ups will begin at the first spot at 3:00 sharp led by the most senior athlete in attendance. Another warm up will begin at 3:30. Please take part in the warm up each week. It is a very important part of training and will actually improve your performance for the day as well as keep you injury free!

“AUGH no! lame! why are we doing this! I hate change!”
I know it seems confusing now, but this will actually be a lot easier on everyone as the weeks progress. if you’re late for a session you will know exactly where everyone is!

“But I like doing random stuff every week! I’ll get bored at the same spot!”
Horse Poo! You’ll be able to make a challenge for yourself, and if you don’t succeed at it one week you’ll have 2 or 3 more weeks to complete it. You’ll also be able to improve your speed and flow with challenges you’ve already completed.

“But how will I get better if I’m always doing the same thing?”
That’s just it! You will get better practicing the same thing over and over. Randomization wastes time and doesn’t allow you to improve skills. Basically by training at the same spot 4 weeks in a row you will get better at Parkour and probably be surprised by what you’re able to accomplish at other spots.

“OK but I really want to train at new spots”
That’s cool. Do it on your own time. Urban exploration is a huge part of parkour, but also much more enjoyable on your own or with a small group of friends. Sunday sessions are just too massive to be involved in random excursions.

“How is this supposed to make me better again?”
It allows for linear progression and a better learning experience for each technique. Practicing the same technique on a single obstacle will train that technique better than if you try to apply it to a bunch of random surroundings without first fully understanding the technique. This is why repetition is super important if you ever want to get really good at something. Also by the end of 3 or 4 weeks you will be less inhibited by the challenging forces of a given spot (ex. heights, precise railings, awkward run ups, etc.) Also training at the same spot will challenge you to think critically and creatively, ultimately enhancing your ability to teach yourself.

No more $50/$90 business and Wed/Friday stuff!
Classes have now been simplified and priced even better!
