What is Parkour?

Parkour is a method of physical training that develops one’s ability to overcome obstacles (both physical and mental). It involves movement that will help in reach or escape situations. Underpinning this is a philosophy of altruism, useful strength, longevity, self-improvement and self-understanding.

What should I wear/bring?

We recommend wearing comfy clothing and enclosed shoes that allow you to move around. Avoid anything that could get caught in equipment or make you trip over. Standard wear are track pants/tights, t-shirts, and sneakers! If you are looking for a shoe recommendation check the following recommendations

Bring a bottle of water to ensure you stay hydrated.


Yes, this class ensures you have a basic understanding of parkour. This includes the different movements, what is/isn’t parkour and how to train safely. You only need to attend this class once, however you can attend again if you feel the need.
Please note: You must attend a First-timers class before attending a Basics class.

When can I do big stuff or rooftops?

I’m sore after training is this normal?

As with any exercise, especially a new activity it is normal to experience some level of muscular pain. This is due to “Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS)” which usually lasts a couple of days. If it lasts longer than this please consult your physician. Over time however you will experience less discomfort as your body becomes stronger.
