The core product is structured group classes (Kinderkour through Goldfish Gangsta) at two Southern California locations, supplemented by open gym access, private 1-on-1 coaching, birthday party packages, and seasonal summer/spring break camps. Revenue is generated through recurring memberships billed every 4 weeks, 12-week prepaid packages, drop-in classes, and event-based bookings.

Direct peers

• APEX Movement: Operates a multi-location chain of parkour and freerunning training facilities across the U.S. with progressive class curricula, directly comparable to Tempest's facility-based, age-tiered instruction model.
• House of Parkour: Indoor parkour training facility offering group classes, open gym, and events with structured skill progression for kids and adults — a direct operational and curriculum peer to Tempest.
• The Movement Creative: NYC-based parkour and freerunning academy with a progressive class structure, camps, and events targeting youth and adults. Closely matches Tempest's band-style curriculum and facility-based delivery.

Broad incumbents

• Parkour Generations: UK-originated global parkour organization that operates training academies, instructor certifications, and competitions. Broader incumbent with overlapping curriculum and event products, including influence on U.S. parkour standards.

Regional players

• STORROR: Professional freerunning collective and media brand that runs training academies, camps, and content. Comparable on coaching pedigree and brand-driven engagement, though less facility-centric than Tempest.
