| - Strap on your grippy shoes and shake out your noodly arms. It's time to climb, jump, and play your way to a better body! This "gym" is honestly the most fun I've ever had at any gym. I didn't see any deadlift platforms or smith machines, but what it does have is one hell of an adult playground! (not that kinda adult playground ;) )
Pursuit OCR is, for a lack of better word, awesome. It's beautiful (look at those colour-changing lanterns) and every inch is filled with something interesting. In addition to the obstacle course, there are hanging ropes, chains, and gym equipment for people to use (or try to use) for just $20. They also have classes and some sort of cryogenic sauna room. Yes, freezing yourself CAN BE healthy!
Onto the obstacle course itself, it actually wasn't bad at all! This is coming from someone who is terrified of heights. Seriously, I can't even go on top of monkey bars. But what I do have is an easy time succumbing to peer pressure. And with a little bit of motivation, I was able to pretty much do the entire course. It's always comforting to know that the course is designed so that you can bypass any part you don't want to do.
And of course, there's the infamous wall. Do your best to run up that thing and feel like a ninja. Or, flop over on your bum and slide down. Everyone will cheer you on anyways. Patrons and staff alike were very helpful and encouraging. It's like being among friends.
While I loved this place, I'm not sure how many times I can be back. Having run through the course 3x completely, it got a little predictable. My more flexible and daring friend actually wanted a more challenging course. Maybe in the future, there will be expansions.
Regardless, if you want to increase your strength, improve your flexibility, and conquer your fear of heights, this is a fantastic place to do it. Jump to the sky and reach for the stars! Or fall in the ball pit. Either way, you'll have fun!
