Revolution Parkour Gresham — Local services in Gresham

We attended a birthday party here, not knowing what to expect. Never heard of this type of gym prior to the invitation. Once we arrived, we were instructed to fill out a liability form for our child and then read the list of rules. Nothing out of the ordinary. Kids ran around jumping on and off things, hanging on bars, and having fun. The gym spans 3 large semi bay-size doors that are opened to let air flow, cuz it was hot indoors and a bit of light as it was dark. Towards the end of the party, the kids had free time and were jumping into foam pits. The kids called me over to watch them. I walked outside to the farthest bay door and watched them jump in. Wasn't wearing my glasses, and couldn't see well, especially going from bright sunlight to dark gym. Anyway, my nephew picked up some pieces and wanted to show me what it was. I stepped about 2 steps inside the bay door to see inside better and was then going to take his picture. Instantly a teacher/attendant got in my face and said I could not step on the floor without a liability form filled out. It was literally about a minute that I was there on the edge of the bay door. What gets me is at the desk while we were filling out the liability form for our child, knowone mentioned anything about 'not stepping on the floor'. The gal with the stocking cap (in 83 degree weather) just gave us the tablet to fill out the form and a laminated rules form for our child to read. That was it. After being reprimanded for my error, I walked back around to the rest of the adult group. I then proceeded to tell my husband what happened, a private conversation, and the stocking cap gal butted in and had to reprimand me yet again with reasons why and accusations. That was a private conversation between just my husband and I in low hushed tones. Not intended for anyone else's ears yet she butted in. Unless I am talking to you, it is none of your business and rude to butt into a convo that wasn't directed to you or even about you. This place has rules and regulations to follow, I understand that. What I don't agree with is how it was handled and the non-existent service the...

Our 5 year old was in the juniors class about 2 years ago and loved it. We went for several class cycles over about six months. He had been in daycare, pre-school, and was in kindergarten at the time, so he knew how to listen and follow instructions. That being said, he was 5 and it's totally developmentally appropriate for a kid that age to have their attention wander. When you work with kids that age, you have to realize that and understand that redirection is part of the teaching process.

One day I see him walking back to the seating area with 20 minutes left in the class and he sat down next to me. I couldn't get him to tell me what happened. He was very upset and shut down. After class I talked to the coach to find out what happened and he said "He wasn't listening so I sent him to sit down for the rest of the class. I don't want him to waste his time and my time."

That's totally a inappropriate way to coach a 5 year old. I can see that tough approach possibly working for teenagers, but for young kids in the junior class, that's totally inappropriate. They're there to have fun and learn the basics. They're not training for a competition. It's embarrassing in front of the other kids. If your coaches aren't able to work with young kids, they shouldn't be offering junior classes.

This has really bugged me for the past two years. I almost never write reviews and I think this is my first one star review ever. He loves jumping and climbing and doing parkour, but every time we ask him if he wants to go back, he absolutely refuses. The way the coach treated him in front of the rest of the class embarrassed him and took away any desire that he had...

Regarding some of the negative reviews recently posted about a field trip with a neuro-diverse child (which also includes some of the recent 1 star reviews with no comments) - as a parent/chaperone who was actually there on that field trip I'd like to share my perspective: -- in my opinion we (the school) did not do the best job in providing the support for our neuro-diverse kid that is typically expected in a school field trip situation. -- I am posting this review because my 12 year old is actually pretty upset about how our school handled this situation and especially upset about all the bad reviews posted about a small local business by people who weren't even on this field trip and heard of it second or third hand, and possibly without the full context. -- also worth mentioning that my kids and most of the kids on that field trip that I've observed had a great time exploring the space and what their bodies can do, engaging with the staff who were helpful in instructing any kid individually in their interest in a particular trick or activity, and playing fun...
