Fridays as open schedule days

All Friday classes/open gym canceled from Sept. 2nd onwards

We've come to realize that having classes every single day of the week makes it really difficult to schedule special events, build new things for the gym, and just have general parties and fun stuff with all of the staff. In particular there is a lot more building that we want to do seeing as how we only really had 8 days to prep the new gym before moving in (long story). Having entire days dedicated to it means we can run volunteer build days again and get much more done. 

Choosing a day was difficult but we've decided to elimate Fridays from the schedule for the time being. This will cancel our Friday homechooling class, kids level 3 class, adult basics class, adults outdoor lvl2 class, and open gym. Friday has been our least attended day for awhile now and hopefully won't affect too many people (contact us if this affects your membership or ability to come).

In it's place we'll be scheduling a good deal of building days for the months to come. The priorities aren't all set yet but on the agenda we're looking at: remodeling the bathrooms, creating the rock wall, walling out the kitchen/community room, moving the parent's viewing area, and generally just making the gym nicer to be in :) If you have ideas or want to help out, let myself or Eric know! (tyson@parkourvisions.org, eric@parkourvisions.org)

Use this open day as an opportunity to train yourself outdoors, either alone or with friends! Ian Schwartz, one of our intermediate students, is already scheduling 6:30pm at Gasworks as regular training session for the intermediate curriculum. For updates on that and any other scheduled sessions (or to start your own) check the Parkour Visions Facebook page.

 

PS: We are also closed for Labor Day (9/5) this year, so this weekend will be a long one for everyone :)

Schedule change 2/28 - More kids classes, better adult class times!

Since January, our kids program has filled up almost completely, and we’re getting new students all the time! Also, we’ve been hearing that it’s sometimes difficult for our adult students to get here by 5:30pm. So we’ve made some changes to our schedule on Mondays and Thursdays to make sure everyone can participate.

Here’s what Mondays and Thursdays look like now:

Monday:
  • 4:00-5:00 Kids Basics
  • 5:00-6:00 Kids Basics
  • 6:00-7:30 Adult Basics
  • 7:00-8:30 Adult Level 2
Thursday:
  • 4:00-5:00 Kids Basics
  • 5:00-6:00 Kids Basics
  • 6:00-7:30 Adult Basics
  • 7:00-8:30 Adult Level 3
Adult level 2 and level 3 classes will still meet at 7pm and work on mobility and warmups in the back room.

And remember: sign in online ahead of time to make sure you have a spot in class!

Hope that works well, and we’ll see you in class!

Fall Schedule Changes

by monkee

Hey All!

Another blustery fall is rapidly on the way, and blowing in with the leaves are students returning from summer adventures along with a whole host of new participants. To keep classes at comfortable populations--and to cater to the growing skill of students who've been training with us for a while--we are shaking up the schedule beginning October 11. We will be offering a new Young Beginners class for children ages 5-8, rendering the regular Kid's Basics classes for ages 9-13, and adding an Adult Level 2 class, ("Adult Intermediates" will become Level 3). As always, we would like you to sign up online before attending your classes! Please look over the <new schedule> thoroughly, and send any questions, comments, or suggestions to classes@parkourvisions.org.
