What is Parkour?
Parkour is about overcoming obstacles and becoming a better person each day.
We use the challenge of conquering physical challenges to help us develop strength and character.
We use a variety of movements including running, climbing, swinging, vaulting, jumping, and rolling.
ParkourĀ helps us learn to see our world with a new perspective. It teaches us to creatively approach challenges and find solutions instead of excuses.
MEET THE COACHES
All our coaches go through many hours of training, a coach mentor program, and are working towards additional coaching certifications (we believe we should always be learning and growing and getting better)!
