We are extremely happy to announce that, after many months of searching, we will be moving into our own gym this week! The gym is located on 4216 6th Ave NW in between Ballard and Fremont and is only the third of it’s kind in the entire country!
We want this gym to be expression of the community as well as a place for our coaches to teach – a place to organize and grow as a group in strength, skill, and confidence. An indoor training ground just for us that grows in complexity and challenges as more crazy obstacles are imagined and made 
To kick off the gym’s opening we’re hosting a big clinic/open training/potluck/fundraising event on Oct 24th to introduce the local parkour community, our academy students, and all of their families to the awesome space and our plans for it!
Here are the event details:
When Saturday, October 24th from 12pm to 9pm

Hey Rafe, I know I said I could come, but it turns out I actually have something else going on this Saturday. I’ll definitely be in later though.

Hey, do you have any pictures of your gym? I got really excited by the concept when I read about your innovative ways to get into the gym on the APK news article on your new gym.

Can you please post the next available clinics or open gyms? (This really should be here given the interest the times article might draw.)

Great stuff. I wondered if you had any blue prints or building plans for any of the equipment shown. I did some parkour stuff with my PE class and they loved it and want some more!
