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..."

Comment by SafeNSure on September 15, 2008 at 1:03pm: ...won't make it this week, but I -most definitely- plan to keep on dropping in.
It's just the best, painless way to build muscle-memory.

It still takes me a while to transfer certain 'moves' outdoor (and I truly believe that Parkour IS outdoor, that's where you learn to run over/under/through obstacles, somehow, or better, anyway...), but once I have the necessary determination and strength to run across a certain environment, training in the gym helps make it cost- (in terms of effortless technique) and fuel-efficient (in terms of preserving energy for a longer "run").

Like a well tuned engine makes for a smoother ride...

Comment by Scop on September 10, 2008 at 11:24pm: Won't be able to make Wednesdays for a while; just started a film acting class this week that conflicts.

Comment by SafeNSure on September 10, 2008 at 11:07pm: ...coming! And in fact you did (nice meeting you, btw...).

Excellent session tonight!
I was a little skeptical tonight when I saw "all those people" on the floor, but the coordination of our coach and assistant has been such that we even had an area for random break-the-rhythm exercises, between the two groups working...

Lots of awesomeness... never the satisfaction that one gets in the real world, but as good as it gets indoor.
