WANT TO BE ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE BACK FOR OPEN TRAINING TIME???? Wed Aug 5 2:30-9 $20 Thurs Aug 6 2:30-9 $20 Friday Aug 7 2:30-9 $20... Saturday Aug 8th 11am-6pm $20 Sunday Aug 9th 11am-6pm $20 Come on out. We will limit the amount of people in the space as per city guidelines but because the space is so large we do not expect to hit capacity. Call ahead if you are worried and have questions. 6473501111 Please wear your mask upon entrance as we have a shared entrance with Urban Squash. Inside the space, you do not need to wear a mask as per city mandate during exercise, although for your own safety and the safety of others it may be something you should consider. You will be asked to clean your hands, take your temperature, and answer a few questions before you can go in. We will be using data from these next 3 days to come up with set policy moving forward. We are not a normal business, this isn't easy. We're trying our best.

We are behind on our opening news. We're currently trying to update the website now. Stay tuned.

Camp / Phase 3... Read Below! First things first, hey everyone Dan here again! Another change in the world, another exciting announcement. Ill make this one short and sweet. First, we have 4 slots left for our KIDS CAMP next week, from Tuesday to Friday. If you are interested message [email protected] or [email protected] for details.... Secondly, we have been swarmed the last 48h with people wanted to get back into the space. We are behind on a lot of those just because we didn't know how to respond just yet. We didn't think Premiere Ford would push to stage 3 this week, so we are a little behind schedule. But.. We can definitely say things will start to get back to normal again next week. You might even say we will be "open" or "new-open" or... I don't even know what to call things anymore. Please bare with us as we prep for that. WE WILL REOPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND ALLOW DROP IN STARTING TUESDAY AUGUST 4th. Details about that will come this weekend. Cheers and see ya soon,

Hey everyone! Dan here again.... We had our staff training last night and now I finally feel confident posting up the set of rules we are following as we allow very limited amounts of people in the space. Please note WE LOSE MONEY RUNNING THE BUSINESS THIS WAY, which is the new normal for the time being, and we are only doing this for those of you who want/need/are desperate for it. ...Continue reading

Happy Monday everyone, Dan here again with another update. I know I promised daily but even I needed a weekend off. We are currently sitting at the MV answering the phone. If you have any questions call us or email us until 5pm and we will get to you as fast as we can. [email protected] or 6473501111... We are currently booking out 1.5 time slots for small groups, and of course still booking privates. Slots are limited because we have to clean the space after each group so we can only fit a certain number a day. Each week we will try to open up the space a little more but for now we remain very limited. We are also working on a post with all our new rules and regulations right now, and ill post that up tomorrow. Thank you for all the support everyone.

Hey everyone, Dan here! This week has been interesting... we've run into a few problems, to the point where we decided to not post a schedule or sign up online just yet. Thank you to those that have reached out and come in for privates this week, thank you for all the words of encouragement and a big thank you to all those that told us the reasons they aren't ready. My personal email is [email protected] if you need me directly and my staff can't help. This time has be...en way harder than the last pandemic! ...Wait a second.... :p :p A gentle and honest reminder that there is no possible way even if we go above and beyond what we are asked to do by the ministry that we can please everyone. If you have doubts in any way, are in contact with the elderly, etc etc... It's up to you to decide if you should be staying at home or coming out. We spend almost 0 each year on advertising for this very reason, when you walk into this space we want it to be YOU that decides its right for you. Ill make a post tomorrow outlining the changes we've made thus far. We very midly opened this week because many of you are dying to get back. But for those that aren't, don't worry, memberships will remain frozen, all credits will be usable when you are ready, and we are taking it day to day. Things will get better. Thank you for all the support.. seriously still surprises me after doing this sport about 20 years now how great the community is. I do this to put smiles on people's faces when they succeed a challenge, get stronger than they thought while just playing and having fun, make friends they go out for drinks (or play dates :) ) with after training, and because this sport is fantastic and accessecible to all people. Covid doesn't stop any of that! I will try to personally update on a day to day basis from this point onwards. Dan!

Hey everyone, Starting Monday we will be reopening the space for private lessons/small groups, and for uses that need to book the entire MV for a period of time. For all bookings please email us at [email protected]. We won't be turning our front desk phone back on until Monday. We will also be running some camps but that plan will most likely be announced next week. If camps are what you are after please email [email protected] and he will be in touch.... Taking it a day at a time here, thanks for bearing with us during these times.

Happy Canada Day weekend everyone! Or is it Canada Day week? Or..... We will be announcing the next steps Tuesday morning! Exciting. Until we return you can imagine using the fast new way to get up ontop of our front desk. Love, Your just wanting to reopen team at the MV

Hey Everyone! Here's a little preview of some of the new structures at the MV. It's been a weird, long, tough, unclear last 3 months but we are hanging in here and we're hoping to start taking students again in smaller quantities by the end of the month!... As always we appreciate your opinions, feedback is always nice, so ask questions below or send us an email at [email protected] See ya soon!

Hey everyone! Today we are building, just two of us on opposite sides of the space, to surprise everyone with some new obstacles when we return. We've listened.... new higher jump into the foam pit, some bigger wall climb walls, more bars, and some other fun things. What else would you all like to see?... With these upgrades and the painting we did last weekend, we will essentially have a 6 month restart! Well that's it for now, next post coming soon! Stay safe.

Hey all! If we haven't had the pleasure to meet, I'm Dan the founder of the MV. After making sure the MV was fine today, I went to the park to do a little training. A family told me I would have a great time at a gym called the Monkey Vault... I told them I'd check it out! Ha!... Things like this will carry us all through. Times are tough but not that bad! If your kids would like to get a hold of their instructor, a staff member, even me, send me a message and we'll make it happen. The world isn't over and we'll see the light on the other side soon enough! More to come soon, we have some ideas for helping get the kids moving again. Dan [email protected]

Covid-19 Update #2! We've decided after our Prime Minister's announcement today to close for an unforeseen time. We are making phone calls and sending out emails as we type this alerting everyone that had programming in the coming week. Stay safe everyone, check back soon, and see you all when this is over and done with!... More news to come in the next 24-48hours. Anything urgent should be sent to: [email protected]

Covid-19 Update! WE WILL REMAIN OPEN, AND CAMPS WILL BE RUNNING NEXT WEEK, BUT PLEASE READ BELOW. Here are the two top reliable sources we are currently using to monitor this situation and base our decisions on:... https://www.toronto.ca//diseases-medications-/coronavirus/ https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/index.html As written above, based on their information and the spread of the virus within Toronto, we are remaining open until further notice. That being said, here are some other key notes; -The Monkey Vault has always had procedures in place that provide a clean, safe and welcoming training space. We have upped our cleaning schedule drastically and made sure there is plenty of soap, and backup cleaning products available. -Because of the simplicity of the boxes and shapes in our space, we have the luxury of being able to repaint our surfaces at any given time. All surfaces that are in high traffic areas will be repainted on Sunday for the start of camp on Monday. -Coaching parkour often requires close contact (within 6 feet) between students and staff. We have advised our staff that if they show ANY SIGNS of illness to stay home until they have been checked or tested. We ask the same of you! If you or your child are sick, please come visit us another time, we aren't going anywhere! Until we get more news and updates, we encourage you to continue following the guidelines set forth by the CDC on the link above and to check back soon to see if there is any new updates from us. We greatly appreciate your business, and your patience, as we navigate this challenging time. This is a first for us, and many business' out there, so please bare with us here. Anything urgent can be sent directly to my email address and I will be monitoring it 24/7. Dan I Owner The Monkey Vault [email protected]

We are open family day! Today! Hooray! Oookkkaaaayyyy!!!!

We Are Open Today! Regular Hours 11AM-10PM

WE ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THIS YEARS MARCH BREAK CAMP! This will be the FIRST camp EVER at the new MV location. Camp will run March 16-20th from 9AM-2PM with optional late pickup. Deposit of $40 required and non refundable. First 15 participants to sign up are guaranteed spots (More could be potentially added if there is request) Common questions: Do you need experience to sign up?... Students in class are divided based on height/skill, the 2 most important factors in our curriculum. If your child has never done Parkour before we recommend taking an INTRO CLASS before camp, which will make the first day go way smoother and we can guarantee the week will be a good fit for your child. Is it safe? Injury rate for our camps has been one of the best out of all our programs and we have constantly refined it after every season. In the 9 years we have been doing camps there have only been a very small number of accidents, all unrelated to our actual lessons. The most common occurrences at our facility small cuts and bruises. What can kids bring for lunch? We try not to limit the items kids can bring for lunch, if your child has special needs in regards to this please let us know. The facility itself is FOOD FREE, and food remains in the separate eating area. Do my kids ever leave the MV? If they are signed up for an indoor camp they remain in our facility the whole time. How many kids per week? We keep the ratio at about 8 kids per instructor. Thus camp weeks are usually limited to 15 participants. How much is late pickup? $20 for anytime after 2pm.

The gymnastics floor will be closed today until 1pm!! Sorry for this inconvenience

Happy New Year everyone! It seems like it's already been forever that the new location has been open, but realistically it's only been a few short months.

We are open all labour day weekend 11am-10pm!!

We are coming up with our September -> onwards schedule now. If you would like to see a certain class a certain time, we are willing to listen since this relocation has allowed us to "reset" the schedule per say. For instance: "Please keep saturday morning kids classes I like that time" ... OR "5 pm classes dont work for me anymore I cant make it until 6" Anything helpful youd like to share we will listen! We love our new area but are still adjusting to how long it takes to get here from different corners of the city. Note: private and intro classes will stay on a per booked basis.

Look who came to visit us the other day... An ex-Raptor and Marvels next superhero. Both stand up people!

We are now open 11am to 10pm everyday! Classes soon!

Reminder! We are closed Monday Aug 5 and Tuesday Aug 6th. We reopen Wednesday at 11am.

Hey all, We are just hard at work now getting things ready for soft open. Official post to come soon.... but most important things until then to prevent the onslaught of msgs we are getting (ha): -If you are planning on coming tomorrow please note we will probably open sometime in the afternoon so dont get hopes up for 9am.

Update: We are just waiting for the foam pit foam to arrive and we will will open up to the public. Until then enjoy this clip!

Hey all!! WE ARE NOT OPEN YET. Theres seems to be an issue where we changed the address of the MV and Facebook has now deemed us open incorrectly.... We are actually having a hard time getting Facebook to show we are still closed, very frustrating!! WE ARE NOT OPEN YET.

Hey everyone!! Last minute thing here that we are trying to help a company find. Anyone have a kid between the age of 14 and 17 who would like to audition for a commercial and make some summer money? It involves being lifted 15 feet into the air on a wire wearing a space man suit and being slowly dropped down to earth.... If you think your kid (or if you are the kid) isnt afraid of heights and would dig this get in touch with us ASAP the director would like to see some options today. [email protected] Email me a pic and some sizes of the person.

WE ARE SO CLOSE. -We just ran our first official group class yesterday, the space is functioning well. -Soft schedule for classes will be posted soon. -Today the old MV site will be ripped down, dont let that scare you. -We will turn our phone line back on later this week.... -Resumes are being looked through today, emails will go out. -Fun.

Come anytime, leave anytime. 75 Carl Hall rd unit 15, use back door with black trailer parked beside it. Please do not come if you dont intend to help! As much as he enjoys it, Dan doesn't have time this weekend for tours. :p

Hello! We apologize for the delay. Things out of our control put us a tad behind. We are still waiting on a couple things but we are nearing the end!! This weekend will be the last weekend for fixing things up before we soft open. We are looking for some helpers to: clean up, add a couple last coats of paint, wipe down dusty mats from storage, etc etc.... Leave us a msg in this post or email [email protected] if youd like to come out. We will repay good workers with some free passes. Thanks so much for the patience. It's going to be a cool place :).

We are HIRING (and more)! The Monkey Vault (located at Downsview Park) is looking for energetic people with good attitudes, who are willing to learn and try new things. You don't have to have necessarily done Parkour before, but must be willing to learn the basics! Training is provided and we will make sure you are ready to take on any position we bring you on for. Staff Jobs range from:... -Front Desk -Movement Teacher -Course Supervisor -Clean Up Crew Rates and times are flexible, depending on what job and how much experience you have doing it. We also offer ways for people to trade volunteer time for gym memberships, and we usually take on a couple of those a month. If this is you, get in touch with us as well, as that program will start up from the first month the MV is open. Lastly, we also allow for "Personal Trainers", "Movement Coaches", and so on, to run their own programs out of the space. If that is you, and you would like to do that, please send us an outline of what that entails and how you see yourself using the MV. All of these things should be sent directly to Dan, [email protected]

We are not open this weekend. Awaiting one last thing before we can make a full announcement.

May 15th is here! We are starting to let people in for safety testing of the equipment, and the odd private lesson. But we arent open to the public just yet! We will post the grand opening event and day tomorrow morning. Stay tuned! ... Final stretch. We are excited.

We've heard rumours that we might not even open and it's all been a lie! Oh no!!! We can share a rumour back. May 15 we will start letting people in. Details on that soon.... Enjoy a sneak preview:

Hey all!!! We got good news. We can finally give a timeline. If all our equipment arrives on time, we will start accepting students again mid April. More to come on that soon! Also,... Thank you everyone who has offered encouragement and kept our spirits up during this rough patch. Seriously thank you all. Enjoy this picture of the day we took the keys! We will post more teaser pics as time goes on. :)

Happy New Year everyone! As a new years gift to all of you, we've decided to share some news! We will commence rebuilding Feb 1st, at our new location inside Downsview Park. After searching far and wide, we came to the conclusion this is our best option. This means we should be starting to take students again around mid March, but the full build-out may not be done until mid April.... We drove the route from a few places, and we feel it may actually serve a majority of you better. Those of you taking TTC, its still very accessible and from downtown takes the exact same amount of time. It also sets us up very well to expand in the future. In terms of running a campaign for donations, we have indeed gotten all your emails and messages. We have been thinking about it but have never done this and not sure how it would look like. Give us a couple weeks to think it through. Feel free to keep giving us ideas, we like that. We do need carpenters, welders, electricians and more. If you know of people that can help those ways, it's more important than a financial campaign at this point in time. Thanks everyone for reading, hope to see you all out moving around again soon.

We dont have confirmed news we can share with everyone just yet. So let's be honest here for a second! -We understand you loved us, your kids loved us. -We understand you feel we need to get back up and running as fast as possible. -We love that some of you are so upset because it means we created something really cool.... -We would have loved to be able to have the money to open 10 locations for you all so this didnt happen. But the reality of things is; -It isnt easy getting cornered and forced out of our old space by shitty landlords. -It isnt easy taking apart a gym and putting it in storage in under 48 hours. -It isnt easy to flick a switch and reopen in a snap. -It isn't easy to tell your awesome employees they are out of work for now. Not easy. In 2017, we learned that until all details are firm there is no point sharing them. For those that heard, we lost the location we were building in Etobicoke due to zoning and landlord issues, and lost a alot of money at the same time. The dynamic in the city of Toronto is not one that helps or appreciates a business like this one. Recreational is at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to what the city wants more of. We arent funded by the government nor do we have millions of dollars. We dont have fancy lawyers to make things go faster. We arent an iPhone you can just run out and buy/use when you want. We are trying our best. Hopefully we can announce our buildout soon, but until then the best way you can all help is patience. Patience is key.

Thanks for everyones patience. I think we should have good news to share at the end of this week. !

It's all happened in a very messy 48hours but we are closing down our current location and moving to another. Full post coming soon. All your questions will be answered soon.

We are trying to get to everyones messages... Full details will be posted tomorrow

We are closed today!!!!!!

WE ARE NOT OPEN TOMORROW... NEWS TO FOLLOW.
