Frequently Asked Questions
1. What should I wear to class?
Sneakers, as well as comfortable clothing like t-shirts, sweatpants and shorts.
2. What can I expect at class?
Each session is unique because we move the obstacles into a different design every week to keep things new and exciting, but you can expect certain key elements. Classes may include a warmup, skill drills, games, obstacle courses, challenges, and physical conditioning. We focus on building skills through safe progression and applying our skills creatively. Each class will offer a different set of challenges to be explored!
3. Can I try a sample class for less than full price?
We offer youth trial classes discounted by 50% from the standard drop in rate!
4. Are there multi-child discounts?
Yes! If you have more than 1 child signed up, you are eligible for $5/month off of 1 membership! Ask us for the discount code!
5. Is parkour dangerous?
No. Parkour involves risk, not danger. The difference is that risks can be calculated and controlled. Parkour tends to be safer than many other athletic pursuits because you control all the factors influencing the level of risk, as opposed to a team sport, for example, where you can't control the velocity and angles of the other players and the ball, which results in danger.
Customer Policies
1. Code of conduct:
Parkour is a discipline and must be approached with a calm, focused mindset. The safety of
oneself and the other participants depends on each person comporting themselves in a way that
reflects a calm, focused mindset. While not exhaustive, the following is a list of behaviors that,
depending on either frequency and/or severity may result in removal and/or prohibition from
classes at the head coach's discretion:
a. Yelling/unnecessary noise
b. Pushing/wrestling/fighting
c. Emotional outbursts
d. Disregard for the personal space of others.
e. Intentional destruction of property where we train
f. Recklessness of any kind
g. Failure to follow coaches' instructions
h. Teasing/bullying of other students
i. Lack of respect for the discipline of parkour
In the event that a student is asked not to return to classes, they, or their parents as applicable,
will receive a refund of any payments left unredeemed.
2. Class cancellations:
In the event of a class cancellation, whether planned or due to unforeseeable circumstances, an
email will be sent to the affected students and the class will be removed from the online
registration schedule page. Because it is possible for emails to be missed or bounced back, we
encourage students to check the online registration schedule page before each class to ensure it is
happening. Regarding weather-related cancellations, we almost always follow the lead of the Kingston City School District during the school week; if they cancel after-school activities for weather, we are, with rare exceptions, cancelled too. If the student has prepaid for a drop-in class, a credit will be issued to their account to be applied to their next visit. If the cancelled class is part of a prepaid unit, a makeup class will be offered, if possible, and, if not, the student will be eligible to receive a discount code or store credit for the value of the class. We are unable to provide cash refunds in these circumstances. In the event that a student is unable to attend a makeup session, it is treated as an absence (see below).
3. Absences:
Makeups for absences are offered if space is available in a comparable class. Makeups must be scheduled in advanced via email.
4. Safety rules:
a. No yelling
b. No games of tag without permission
c. No wrestling/fighting
d. No jumping from something higher than your chest without permission
e. No climbing on top of something higher than your head without coaches spotting or giving permission
f. Communicate/ensure clear path before jumping/swinging/running
g. Request a spot before trying something you're unsure of
h. No diving/reaching out to swing on bars without spot or permission.
i. No going upside down from bars/rings without coaches spotting or giving permission.
