Revolution Parkour

A small gym in Beaverton,OR (p-town) is operating as a Parkour Gym. Teaching both adult and child classes. Further divided into both beginner and advanced. Indoor and outdoor. Pretty cool stuff.
The Beaver Valley Times Did a write up on parkour and the gym.It always interests me to see how others address the Parkour education process and the ways in which they choose to monetize it. I am by no means apposed to making money with pk, just the idea of charging for every interaction/jam seems pretty lame...

He offers one easy truth I appreciate deeply -In the end, Dunlap stresses the simple joys of the sport he loves and the independence of its movement. He also stresses that watching the elite athletes shouldn’t scare people off. Most people will never leap from such great heights.
“Just because you train,” he says, “doesn’t mean you can jump off a building.”

Revolution Parkour
Classes, at ADAPT Training 9923 S.W. Arctic Drive, are $15 for drop-in sessions or a $40 monthly fee.

As gyms go, this is low cost. As we all move forward; it might be an interesting idea to go get some training form other people in our region. Any thought s on that idea?
