What is Parkour?
Parkour, the art of movement—or l’art du déplacement in its native French—is a progression-based fitness discipline focused on learning how to navigate your environment efficiently and quickly. Free running adds acrobatic elements to parkour to allow for more expression and fun.

How does my child level up?
Each student receives a skill sheet based on his or her level. Once the student has mastered the majority of the skills on the sheet, he or she will be eligible to move to the next level, pending the coach’s review and approval.
To find out your athlete’s current progress on their skill sheet, go to our website, log in, and in your account click the skill sheet.
If you’d like to accelerate your athlete’s progress, you can register for more classes or schedule private lessons with our Parkour coaches.

How old does my child have to be to start Parkour classes?
Kids can start Parkour classes at The Cave as early as age 5.
Do you have a teen/adult program?
Open Gym (13+) is each Sunday. Please refer to our schedule for exact class times.
How much do Parkour classes cost?
Our month-to-month enrollment costs vary per age group and program. Please see our pricing table for more information.
Can I drop into a class to try it out?
Yes, space permitting. If you have never been to The Cave and would like to try out a class, we allow one paid drop-in. All drop-ins must be scheduled at least 2 days ahead of time with our office staff. If you decide you would like to enroll after the scheduled drop in, you must let our office staff know immediately following the class (otherwise, that particular class space will open back up to other interested clients).
Do you offer make-up classes?
We are unable to accommodate make-up classes due to the high demand for our program. We simply don’t have open class space to schedule them. To account for the classes you may occasionally miss, we base our monthly pricing on four classes per month despite some months within the year allotting for five classes. These “free” classes in effect provide you with built-in make-up opportunities.
I’m going on vacation. Can I get credit for my missed classes?
If you know you will be away you can release a class spot through the Members Area on our website and if the class spot is claimed you will receive a credit on your invoice. Any number of future dates can be released in this manner, but dates in which The Cave is closed can not be claimed.
My child wants to do Parkour but is on a waitlist. Are there other classes they can take?
Gymnastics is a great precursor to parkour, as it provides a base of strength and mobility that will directly translate to parkour once your child is old enough. Kids 7+ can also take our CrossFit Kids or CrossFit Teens classes, which are great for building functional strength and agility—both of which are essential in parkour.
Do you offer any special discounts?
The Cave offers an assortment of 25% discounts for family members, full-time college students, teachers, active duty firefighters, military members, and law enforcement officers. Highest discounts apply, however, and they cannot be stacked.
