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 May 29, 2008 at 12:34pm: ...anybody can drop in.

Actually Msgr33 and I (as the only 2 irregulars or outsiders, if you want...) hit the jackpot yesterday night, dropping in on a night where Kaos was using, exceptionally, the large top floor, with plenty more mats, longer runways and overall more space and possibilities. (Even two Acro-instructor joined in, which is not un-common, but these seemed like the Top Guns to me...).
Besides us, Mr._Me_Too was there, and other 4 or 5 regular students (pretty much all ready to bring it outdoor, if they would want to... provided there is a "ready" state...).
Highlight of the evening (for me) was a circular circuit (parcour?!) built with 6/7 mats of various sizes to be taken at various speed, and in both directions, in a succession of various vaults.

Pacing speed, coordination, direction and technique choice was a very interesting, effective and conditioning training that left most of us out-of-breath after a few runs.

Especially the speed vaults sequence was definitely conditioning both physically and mentally!

Comment by hillexallen on May 27, 2008 at 6:13pm: Do you think I could drop in once or twice?

Comment by SafeNSure on May 26, 2008 at 9:33pm: This week, I wanna try making it, mainly because it gives me a well-rounded, pk-based and time efficient exercising in the middle of the working week...
...priceless!

Comment by Ryan Fulmer on May 21, 2008 at 1:49pm: how full is this class now? #

Comment by Seng on May 20, 2008 at 4:32pm: working in the city tomorrow- if my arms aren't still sore, I'll try to make it over

Comment by Iliketovaultthings on May 19, 2008 at 8:59pm: i should start training outdoors RIGHT before its time to go to the class, so i get in the mood and all =) but that kinda depends now because i'm trying to make it to tuesday training at sloat regularly

Comment by SafeNSure on May 18, 2008 at 9:25pm: awww... can't make it again (should stop saying that).
But, if anybody goes, talk about of how good is pk outdoor!
Most of the gym students haven't tried it yet...
=)
