Why should I choose to train at Firestorm Galaxy?For two main reasons, the Coaching and the Culture. At Firestorm, we are dedicated to helping create the best, most well rounded athletes, while having fun! Our culture is about learning from, and teaching, one another. Our goal is two fold: We want you to have FUN, and learn something new every time you come train with us! All Firestorm Coaches undergo our own personal 3-4 week Coaching Certification training for each class type they teach. Every 3 months our Coaching team undergoes personalized class management, skill teaching, and spotting safety training under the supervision of our Regional Manager, Justin Taylor, who has 2 decades of professional Coaching experience under his belt. As well as our Head Coach, Richard "FreeLove" Young.

How do I take a trial class? Can I take classes without being a member?Everyone is welcome to take classes at Firestorm! To take classes without a membership you will purchase a Max Class Day Pass. It is $55 which allows a student to take as many available classes and open gyms that they are age/rank appropriate for. The Max Class Day Pass is the best way to take classes from different coaches, and try out the many different programs that Firestorm has to offer. The $55 from your Max Class Day Pass also gets credited towards the one time $105 Registration Fee when you sign up for a full membership. A Max Class Day Pass is required before Membership sign-up! This allows you to try out the Classes so you know what you're signing up for, and allows us to see if you/your student is a right fit for Classes right now. Safety is super important for us: if your student if not listening to instructions, running off from the Class, etc., this may pose a danger to themselves, other students, or the Coaching Staff. *More than 1 Day Pass may be necessary before Membership sign-up*

Schedule your first class via email, or give our Office a call to find an appropriate class time for you!

-
Do you offer makeup classes!Yes we do! In order to receive a makeup class, you need to let us know that the student will be absent by email at least one hour prior to the class beginning. Then after receiving a makeup class, you'll have two-three months (depending on Membership) until they expire. During that time, let us know what day, class, and time you would like to use the makeup class. Then the office staff will let you know what is available to schedule the makeup class. Makeups for additional classes can only be used while on an active membership (not freeze).
-
What do I do if I need to pause or cancel my classes?What we offer is a freeze if you need to pause or a complete discontinue to fully cancel your classes! A freeze is a $10 monthly charge which keeps the account active and will be taken off a future month of tuition. So, if the account is on two months of freeze, then $20 will be taken off when returning to classes. Please note that this is charged to the card on file, even if the monthly tuition is charged to the account, and if an account is on freeze for longer than one month, the permanent class spot will be given up to other students on the waiting list. Then if the freeze will ever need to be adjusted or extended let the office know by email before the 1st of the next month as freeze payments do not auto-renew. When your freeze has expired, your normal membership payments will resume. The longest any account can be placed on freeze at one time is a 6-month period. On the other hand, a discontinue is completely deactivating the account, meaning you would need to repay the $105 registration fee upon returning to Firestorm. An email is required before the 1st of the next paid month. You will remain an active member until the notice duration has ended and discontinuation occurs. All makeup classes immediately expire at the same time as the discontinuation activates and freeze does not count towards the discontinuation policy month notice.

What should I wear to class?Make sure to wear clothes that you feel comfortable moving around in. You will not want to wear any jewelry or clothing that may restrict your ability to move, or anything so loose it may get caught on a bar or edge of a wall. Make sure to bring closed toed Athletic SHOES with you. Shoes that are lightweight, flexible, and have grippy bottoms are best.

What is Family and Adult Open Gym?Open Gym is a open, all inclusive training time for adults and kids, beginners, students, and masters off all athletic backgrounds. Unlike classes with organized training, during Open Gym all equipment and areas of the gym are open for training, exploring, and playing. This is the time to collaborate with other students and practitioners and have fun trying new ideas or spending extra time refining skills learned in classes. During Family Open Gym the coaches will sometimes host participation-optional games, obstacle courses, NERF games and more! We offer two types of Open Gym. Family Open Gym (for ages 4 and up) and Adult Open Gym (for 18+ years old) Open gym is $15 per visit for both Kids and Adults, $5.00 per visit if you are currently enrolled in classes, $75/month for an Unlimited Open Gym Pass for Non-Members, and $125 for a 10 Pack of Open Gym Sessions.

What age do I have to be to train? Am I too old/young?Training can being as young as 4 in our Little Heroes class. Our Parkour/Freerunning classes are offered for all students’ ages 7 years and have no upper limit. We have students in their 60s training here at Firestorm. Our classes and curriculum were designed with all ages and body types in mind. We start small and build progressively to maintain positive improvements and safety. We believe that at any age you can learn progressively and move for life. Our facility was designed for kids, teens, adults, and big kids of all ages!

What is Parkour? What is Freerunning?What is Parkour? What is Freerunning? These two terms are used interchangably to describe physical movement connecting running, jumping, climbing, crawling, and rolling. They do have some technical differences though. Parkour is all about efficient body movement. Imagine racing through an obstacle course, moving over and through obstacles as quickly as you can. Parkour teaches you how to move as efficiently and effectively as possible. Parkour is a race! Freerunning focuses on exploring creativity through movement. This is the time to let your imagination take flight. We take parkour as our base and mix on twists, flips, inversions, tricking, and tumbling to create aesthetically pleasing body movement. Freerunning is to Parkour as Breakdance is to Ballet.
-
Is Parkour/Freerunning and Acrobatics safe?We purposefully designed our facility to make parkour and freerunning more accessible to people of all ages and body types. The most important tenet of parkour and freerunning is to make sure you are well prepared to avoid injury. Our color ranks (skill curriculum) were carefully put together to safely teach and learn the basic skills in parkour. In fact, the first two ranks (White and Orange) are completely comprised of safety oriented skills. After students have mastered these skill and have them signed off by their Coach, they will progress to Freerunning. (Green rank and higher, flips and twists) Everything in our classes and curriculum are designed to take you safely from your very first class all the becoming a professional acrobat! It is our mission to teach people these tenets and how to respect their bodies and their environments in ways that will help them develop safe and healthy training habits.

How do students learn and move up levels in Parkour?Here at Firestorm the coaches have worked very hard to put together a step by step, progressive curriculum that teaches the arts of parkour and freerunning. Our curriculum has 7 color levels, each one building progressively upon the last, to build you from the ground up. (White, Orange, Green, Blue, Purple, Red, and Black) Each new students begins their Parkour journey as a “White Rank”. Both the White and Orange Rank classes focus primarily on safety techniques and body position/awareness. During the classes, each students curriculum card is pulled out to see which skills need to be worked on in your level. Once you have mastered all of your Floor, Vaults, Walls, and Bars skills for your level, you will be awarded the next Rank color. Moving up to a new Rank unlocks new skills to learn, new classes you can take, and new areas of the gym you can train in! White- Beginner Parkour and Safety skills Orange – Intermediate Parkour and Safety skills Green – Intro to Freerunning, Advanced Parkour Skills Blue – Intermediate Freerunning and Beginner Flips Purple – Intermediate Flips and Flow Red – Advanced Parkour and Freerunning, Advanced Flips and Flow Black – Professional Stunt Man, Acrobat, Ninja Warrior, or Freerunner Read this Blog on Ranking Up and Curriculum Cards to learn more.
