New Cool Stuff

• Parkour Pictures/Mini Edit

  • We will be having an event where you can have your child come in to have their parkour pictures taken by a professional, like in most team sports, but using parkour obstacles.  Additionally, we will have a videographer on hand to video those moves and create a mini video of your child!

• Put in non-profit application 

  • We have some final changes we need to make before we put in an application for non-profit status

• We will be creating and marketing some new AMP gear to help students feel like part of the team

• We will be holding monthly mock testing to test run students through the curriculum and help them prepare for testing.  

• We will be posting Daily/Weekly/Monthly Challenges

• AMP will have our students vote on a hashtag that everyone from the gym posts under on social media

How can you help?

AMP is struggling, and we aren’t afraid to admit it.  Here are a number of ways you can contribute.  

1. Donations. Anyone who is willing to donate to the gym is encouraged to.  We were going to start a GoFundMe, but they take a decent percentage of the money, and we need every cent we can get.  If you are willing to donate, you can do so via Paypal (amparkour@gmail.com), check, card or cash.  Feel free to email is you have any questions (scott@amparkour.com)

2. Buy merchandise.  We will be putting together new designs and creating a large order.  Please join us in picking up all the cool gear, and proudly wearing it in class and out. If there are any businesses who would like to support AMP and get a write off, you can also advertise on our upcoming Save AMP Shirt.  Please email for details. 

3. Picture Day!  For any parents interested in getting awesome pictures or video of their children in action, sign up for picture day!  More info coming!

4. Write a review for AMP at Facebook.com/amparkour, on Google Maps by googling “Adaptive Movement Parkour”, on Yelp, or on Groupon if that’s how you found us.  Every positive review helps people know that AMP is the place to be!

5. Share our social media!  As we get closer to opening, we will be posting more on Facebook (facebook.com/amparkour) and Instagram (@connecticutparkour).  Every share is a chance for a potential customer.  

6. Send us a video of you or your child describing why they love AMParkour.  We will be compiling these and posting them on social media, as well as in a larger video in hopes of getting a corporate sponsor and private donations.
