Low-Impact Classes

Last year, RocPK Director Charles Moreland made this video with our eldest member, Mauro. After spending a year going to Saturday jams in Rochester’s Manhattan Square Park, Mauro greatly improved his mobility and physicality. At 62, he can knock out full range squats and perfect sets of pushups with the rest of us.
Not all parkour is explosive or high-impact. We believe strongly in movement exploration and much of our focus is of the low-impact variety.
The Rochester Parkour gym is now offering low-impact classes, designed for participants with mobility issues or an aversion to explosive movement. This class will focus on balance and coordination drills, slow progression of strength, and will incorporate a unique blend of dance and martial art influence.
This class is open to all
Wednesday Evenings 7-8pm
Cost: $15 -

Parkour is expanding and growing all the time and while physical spaces are difficult to come by, they too are becoming more popular.
If you find yourself in NYC with some extra time, head on over to the Gym Park and join a session with some of NYC’s finest traceurs. It appears to be all gymnastics equipment which makes for an incredibly fun and springy environment. Check out the video below!
Great work guys!

Pricing Changes for September
No comments yetPosted in Featured, NewsSep 4, 2011
Read more »To all members,
Please take a look at the pricing changes effective for September. Notable changes include:
- 5 Paid in Full classes have been adjusted to $70 instead of $60. We have done this to allow for the logical incentive to move towards monthly memberships which is in the bullet point below
- We now have membership packages and pricing structures for 2x per week and 1x per week. Monthly memberships take precedence over paid in full, and thus, the 1x per week package has taken place of the $60 paid in full package.
- Monthly memberships include open gym times as well as special events. Special events include: Competitions, discounted workshops, special classes, or community events like pot lucks and other gatherings.
- Memberships are charged monthly in the first week of every month. If you would like to sign up in the middle of the month, please see Charles at the gym for information.
We apologize for any confusion this may cause. Please be patient while we attempt to offer and bundle the services you ask for.
Charles
