I-Beam Tutorial

Instructions

Ensure that you have adequate padding below you! 

Ascension
  1. Grab the lip of the I-Beam with both hands, and pull with your arms.
  2. Place your feet on the I-Beam, and push with your feet.
  3. Using this technique, walk your way up until you can reach the horizontal lip with your hands.
Crossing (Basic Technique)
  1. After you grab onto the lip with both hands, transfer one of your hands to the other side, so both hands are on the same side.
  2. Transfer the opposite hand to the other side, so that you are now facing the opposite direction that you started.
  3. Bring both feet up, and hook them on the edge of the beam.
  4. Using this method slide down the beam, using your hands and feet to control your movement.
  5. Repeat the above steps once you reach the bottom of the beam, in order to reorient yourself in the correct direction.
Crossing (Advanced Technique)
  1. After you grab the vertical lip with both hands, proceed to hook the heels of both feet on the same lip
  2. Using this method, slowly slide your way down the beam, using your hands and heels of your feet to control your body
Traversing the Corner
  1. Hold the lip with both hands, hook both heels on the lip, and squeeze the beam in-between your knees.
  2. Reach up with one hand as far as you can, and then match on the other side with your other hand. The further you reach up, the easier this obstacle will be.
  3. Once both hands are on the vertical lip of the I-Beam, get one leg up underneath you, so that you are in a squat position.
  4. From this position, use your feet to push you, and your arms to pull, until you are able to grab onto the horizontal lip of the I-Beam.
  5. Descend using the same steps as you did to ascend the vertical lip.


Pro Tip- The corner is the most difficult part of this obstacle, so it's a good idea to learn this obstacle in separate pieces, and master each piece before putting them together, and attempting to complete the entire obstacle.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Awesome place to take kiddos to use up their energy. Our son is almost 2. What I liked about this place was that we could join him in exploring the play area. The slides are big enough. They also have adult classes. I love their kickboxing class. 

Becca M.

I have a 2 year old and an 8 month old. Mornings here are lovely when it's quiet- the 2 year old can climb and slide every where while the 8 month old can crawl around on the cushioned ground. The coffee is delicious too!
