Ask Your Peers  Fitness Center  (Closed)

We have a fitness center written thru Philadelphia but it has come to their attention that the fitness center offers the Parkour fitness program.
Parkour is a method of training your body and mind to overcome obstacles with speed and efficiency. However, the practice of parkour also includes many challenges that need adaptability, creativity, and strategy. Parkour athletes, known as traceurs and traceuses, use movements such as vaulting, running, climbing, swinging, and balancing to pass over, under, and through obstacles. While parkour can borrow movements from other disciplines, extraneous or purely aesthetic such as flips and twists are not typically considered parkour. Requiring you to see the environment in a unique way, parkour will teach you to face fear, set goals, and think critically to develop gradual plans of progression. As a physical discipline, parkour teaches respect for the environment and development of the body.

Did you try K&K , American Specialty, or Sadler Sports?

We write a Health Club that has lots of different exposures, with NSI, a division of West Bend, but the youth Gymnastic part is carved out and written with K&K. The Health Club had Cross Fit in 2013, but that was covered under a separate Cross Fit master policy under 'CrossFit Risk Retention Group Inc thru Producer: Nexo Ins Services Inc in Manhattan Beach, CA.
Prime Ins Syndicate writes hard to place risks thru Evolution Ins Brokers in Utah 1-877-678-7342, but their minimum premium is probably at least $5,000+.

Dan:

I work for K&K Insurance and we do have issues with traditional Parkour. We recently added a question to
our app to make sure we are aware if our clubs are doing it or not. If there are no heights involved and all activities take place in an indoor
controlled environment with padding on floors, etc we may be able to consider it. However, most Parkour we've seen involve heights and may include outdoor exposures as well.

Please let me know what your facility does.

Thanks

David Mello
