Hello there and welcome!
We are the Barella family!
We are passionate about loving on and encouraging people through all walks of life. We want to encourage you on your health and fitness journey!! Movement and nutrition are essential parts of our life as individuals and as a family.
As you can see we have 3 young kiddos who all love and practice parkour regularly. Andrew came from non-profit organizations that are meant to help youth grow and change lives. His passion for youth continues at RVPK Beaverton. He has had a huge transformation in his body through diet and exercise, which he is excited to share with others. Shaina’s passions are fitness, photography, and music.
Jason Budd-
General Manager
Coach Jason Budd self-identifies as an artist, though he cannot draw or paint. He loves movement and has been training in parkour for 17 years. When he first started his movement journey, he found himself exploring parks and playgrounds with little direction to follow. One day, he met a group of people training parkour at a park. One of those individuals happened to be Joey Adrain. To Jason, Joey became a coach, an icon to follow, and a good friend. [1]
For the next few years, Jason balanced semi-professional skateboarding, track and field, and parkour all at the same time. As life became busier, the time came to make a choice. He decided to pursue his passion for parkour, discarding his other disciplines to fully immerse himself in the culture. During high school, he frequently skipped class to train, which led to slipping grades and his expulsion during his senior year.
Jason enrolled in college the following term. He started a gym called Revolution Parkour Gresham while attending college for health science. After coaching and finishing his undergraduate degree, he moved to New Jersey to work for a larger parkour gym called Vertiquest. While working there, he also competed on American Ninja Warrior.
Jobe Miller-
Facilities Manager/Front Desk/Instructor
Jobe is 27 and has been doing parkour off and on for 15 years. Whether he’s building confidence in someone to do a flip or discouraging panic in someone to do an unfamiliar jump he finds the most joy in helping people overcome challenges that can only be completed through courage.
Finn Vining- Instructor/Front Desk
Finn is 18, and has been teaching parkour since 2023. His journey with RVPK began far before he was working at the gym, as he used to be a student taking classes on the weekends.
His favorite part of his job is helping build the RVPK community through meeting new people and forming new relationships, and hopes to inspire everyone he meets to live their best life. You can usually find him running a birthday party, or playing alongside the kids in whatever game is going on.
Archer Glickstein- Instructor/Front Desk
Archer Glickstein has been practicing parkour for over 13 years, beginning his journey at The Cave in San Rafael, California. Training alongside American Ninja Warriors, he learned a fundamental lesson: success is built on overcoming failure.
At just seven years old, Archer wasn’t naturally athletic or coordinated, and parkour didn’t come easily. Yet, with his coaches’ encouragement, he persisted—learning to adapt, embrace challenges, and improve regardless of the outcome.
Since 2017, Archer has shared this mindset as a coach, helping students view obstacles as opportunities for problem-solving and growth. Through his guidance, setbacks become stepping stones, fostering resilience and success in every athlete he trains.

ABOUT RVPK + HISTORY
About
Revolution Parkour (RVPK) Beaverton is dedicated to teaching parkour. While demonstrating respect and knowledge the RVPK instructor’s balance the teaching of proper parkour technique along with its philosophy and purpose, with training the physical condition comprised of strength, range of motion, aerobic endurance, bone density, joint alignment, and structural efficiency. Whether learning, training, or performing, parkour is first and foremost always safe, and keeping our students injury free through proper training and instruction is our number one priority.
History
RVPK was started in 2008 as one of the largest and longest established parkour gyms in the United States. In 2011 Revolution Parkour, under new ownership, underwent an extensive remodel and continues to be one of the most versatile parkour facilities. As the RVPK students continue to grow in ability, multiple students have since become instructors allowing more students to learn parkour across the greater Portland areas. In 2019 Andrew and Shaina bought the gym and have survived barely with your help through COVID. They remodeled and painted in Jan. 2023 and have added LED lights in Dec. 2023.
ABOUT PARKOUR + DAVID BELLE
Parkour
“Parkour is a method of training which allows us to overcome obstacles, both in the urban and natural environments. It’s a weapon in disguise. We train… and when one day we encounter a problem, we know that we are able to use it. It can be the art of flight, of the chase, of helping someone with a problem, something ordinary.” – David Belle
David Belle
David Belle (born 29 April 1973) is well known as the founder of parkour. Belle founded parkour based on his training and the teachings from his father Raymond Belle. The discipline has since spread around the world and now has adherents in virtually every country. Belle is also an actor and choreographer, and he is well known for his work incorporating parkour into films such as in Brick Mansions, District B13, Babylon A.D., and Prince of Persia.
Revolution Parkour gives respect to David Belle as the founder of parkour and they listen to what he says about the discipline. “If we don’t demonstrate respect where it is due then how can we expect our students to respect us? If there is no respect then you can’t have Parkour, because without respecting each other or your surroundings there would be no environment to train in.” –Matt Antis
