What a fantastic start to the new season! We got to vault, roll, and of course, hop!

These wonderful pictures were captured at the PK Fundamentals age 8-10 class by Giulia Amato Fairchild - Thanks Giulia!

Thanks to everyone that made it out to the open “house” event last week! What an amazing turnout. Yesterday was the first official class day of the new season as well! I’ll be out there Monday through Thursday every week until it’s too cold. Plenty of time to try a class 🙂 hopsandhealth.co

There are a few smaller pieces missing, but here’s some of the new equipment for this summer’s season! Just a paint job and some sealer left before our open house on April 18th. Come try them out!

Holy Guacamole! At least a few of the first Parkour classes for the new season (beginning April 25th) are half filled already.

For both safety and efficiency, the PK fundamentals (age 8+) and New Hoppers (age 5-7) classes have a limit of 10 participants. That means they have the potential to fill up before the season even begins!

Thank you for all the support. I’m looking forward to seeing you all soon 🏃‍♂️

Update: Only a few hours left of Early Bird prices!

Tuition costs for this summer season will be increasing later today to reflect the increase in quality with the new equipment, etc.

Adding to tuition profits will also be used to increase the chances of securing a facility this fall!

Who else is missing the sun after all the snow we just got?! I’m counting down the days until we can do parkour in the park again

Tag team classes this summer with a family package!

I decided to rebrand the “whole summer” package as a family package since it includes so many dang class credits. Mom or Dad can hit an obstacle course based workout with our “PK Fit” class after their kiddo expends some energy at a “PK Fundamentals” class.

New piece alert!!!

I’m calling this one “The Precision-amajig” due to its Seussian appearance and 7 different precision challenges.

In parkour, a precision is any type of accurately targeted landing with the balls of the feet. On a wall large enough to fit the entire foot, we still aim for the front edge in attempt to create consistency with each landing. That way, if presented with a rail, or any other smaller surface, the practiced accuracy remains and the landing is predictable.

I wrote more about this new piece and precisions in a community post over on https://www.hopsandhealth.co/community

Take a guess on which vault box this pile of lumber used to be 🤔

I’m really excited to share the new and upgraded pieces of equipment as soon as we aren’t in snowstorm territory! ❄️

The only thing I love as much as parkour is building obstacles to do parkour on

A preview of some of the new (and old, but redesigned) pieces being built this winter. They all have to collapse into one another to fit inside of the Hops Van adding to the construction challenges!
1. 2 Tier Russian Doll Vaulter
2. Low Profile “H” precision trainer
3. 2 Tier Russian Doll Slant Wall ( a swinging bar will attach to the side of this for move movement opportunities)
