Congrats
Luca!
You’ve heard about it, seen it in your neighborhood park & watched the videos on YouTube, but have you ever tried it? That’s right, we’re talking about parkour, or "free running." The Greatist.com team stopped by the Field House to check out a class for themselves – watch the video to see what happens! http://www.greatist.com/team/gractivity-parkour/
Parkour classes are offered at the Field House on Wednesdays at 1:30pm
and Sundays at 7:30pm. For more information, please visit http://www.chelseapiers.com/fh/adult-gymnastics/classes.cfm#parkour
Congratulations to Brian Knott of our Boys Gymnastics Team! Brian recently competed in the U.S. Men’s Junior Olympic National Championships in Long Beach, California.
Brian placed 8th in the All Around, 3rd on the Horizontal Bar and 4th on the Pommel Horse.
I have coached Brian since the age of 6, he has trained at Chelsea Piers since he was a child and will attend Stanford University in the fall. Congratulations and best of luck, Brian!
