Event Description

Fall session starts on Wednesday 9/8.

After establishing and leading the first gym program for beginners to intermediates in San Francisco, Chris passed it over to AeroSFCity (aka Ryan) first, and now Jodie (lately helped out by Jason, aka "Duperhero", and now by Niko).

Call (415-665-2276) to find out about actual spots availability, but generally there is room for a few drop-in students.

Drop-ins are now (a ridiculously SF-inflated) $27(!)...
The rate is somehow better if you pay for the entire, or pro-rated, session in advance. (More affordable gym training in Marin, just about over the GG Bridge...)

BApk coaches at this location -since April 2007- (<- lol!... but true!)

A frequent user suggestion: "...if you are just a drop in, try to be pumped, get a good rest the night before, an hearty lunch, drink plenty before/during, get there 6:40, take care of business ($$$ at the office), go on the side of the floor, or for a short run around the block, warm up/stretch, try to get "in the zone", take the class, do everything +1, hydrate plenty, stay for the last "open floor" minutes, and make sure you stretch another 10', while cooling down... overall that will result in almost 2 hours exercise... go home, shower, eat, post on BApk and go to bed... ;P
If it felt good, and you didn't over do it, it was a worthwhile investment..."

=(

Too late!

Comment by hillexallen on December 3, 2008 at 2:41pm: So, what's the final word?

I understand why it might be a bad thing to have it for free, but if that's the way it is, I'll take advantage of it.

Comment by Faye on December 3, 2008 at 2:18pm: If I can dig up the money for tonight, I might drop by. I need to get some moves down that I'm still a bit apprehensive of trying outdoors.

Comment by SafeNSure on December 2, 2008 at 11:48pm: I couldn't agree more with Sumit and/or Ayla post here below: I've been dropping in at Acrosports on-and-off for a year and half now, and I've found that there was always value to it.

Not only: I have been continuously discovering new reasons to appreciate it, be it the weather, the short daylight, the safety advantage in training new techniques, the inspiration provided by the new beginners, and not lastly the forgiveness of the surfaces, especially when being slightly injured, or otherwise not in perfect 100% top shape....

It costs money, which is unfortunate, but in a previous post (November 3), I tried to give a recipe to extract maximum value for it... check it out, it may work for you too.

And, yes "complain" at the office, this 11/2 hours class, with full attendance (8-12 pupils), should cost between $18 and $21, it is a little expensive and complaining may make you feel better and eventually may convince Acros' admins to review their policy on the matter...

Comment by sum@yl@ on December 2, 2008 at 9:35pm: While we'd all love for all of our athletic training to be free, Acrosports provides a great facility for the safe practice of Parkour. Keeping in mind that organized indoor Parkour classes are almost impossible to come by in the United States, supporting this endeavor by paying for the classes you take is a responsible, good idea. Not paying only hurts the existence of this rare resource.
