Why Parkour?
If you want to have more fun than you have ever had working out, and if you are looking for results that those boring treadmills and cumbersome weights just aren't providing, then consider taking Parkour classes or having a Parkour personal trainer through Revolution Parkour. Workouts are never the same and they are based on exciting new sport of Parkour and the dynamic movement that your body was designed for. You will not only have fun, but you will get better results than any 24 Hour Fitness or Bally's workout you've ever had.
Remember, anyone can do Parkour! It doesn't matter your age, background, or current physical abilities. That's because Parkour isn't based on stunting or impressing others; it's about bettering yourself. Personal Parkour classes are always structured so you can achieve your physical fitness goals. You will be challenged physically and mentally, and you will see and feel a positive difference in the way you move after the first lesson and every lesson thereafter! That's our guarantee.
What makes our Parkour classes stand out?
Revolution Parkour's training philosophy is based on physical education that, until now, has been almost completely neglected in Parkour instruction. Starting at the joint level, Revolution Parkour takes a revolutionary approach to Parkour training by first focusing on proper joint alignment and muscular integrity in its students; the foundations to all efficient movement and the key to unlocking your athletic potential.
Just as revolutionary as the philosophy and training method that Revolution Parkour utilizes in its classes, is the attention to detail that Revolution Parkour gives to its class structure. Classes taught by Revolution Parkour are progressive and integrative, meaning that students will build onto their previous experiences and knowledge at every class. By utilizing instructional methods that introduce students to, and then slowly progress them through, the intricacies of each technique, Revolution Parkour makes sure that students maximize their learning and progress in the safest and most efficient way.

What ADAPT adds to Parkour
Revolution Parkour has partnered with ADAPT Training to create some of the most physically comprehensive Parkour instruction in existence today. Not only do we address the strength elements and technical components necessary to Parkour, we have taken Parkour training to the next level by also addressing the range of motion, vertical stacking, structural efficiency, and explosiveness essential to Parkour performance. You should NEVER be injured while training and Revolution Parkour makes your safety our number one priority while making sure you have the best results from your training with us.
Class Description
Revolution Parkour Classes are designed to progress students from Parkour fundamentals to advanced Parkour technique by building the foundational strength, range of motion, and mental focus necessary to safely perform these movements. The classes also emphasize the sport's history, philosophy, and physical technique, while always promoting safe progression in students. No two classes are ever the same. Link to Parkour site.
Common obstacles students can learn to overcome:
- Walls (short and tall)
- Rails (moving under, over, through, and along)
- Gaps
- Stairs
- Drops
- Climbing Ropes
Techniques students can learn to implement in order to overcome these obstacles:
- Landings (absorbing shock and rolling)
- Vaults (cat, speed, spin, and lazy vaults)
- Underbars and Step-Throughs (for rails)
- Precision jumps and leaps
In addition to the natural physical improvements in strength and flexibility that will come from learning and implementing these dynamic techniques, there will be an allotted amount of time each class dedicated solely to conditioning. Warm-ups and cool-downs will be also led by an instructor at the beginning and end of each class, and the course will have a strong emphasis on mental focus, overcoming inner doubt, concentration, the purpose of training, and respect and humility as well, all of which are important principles in Parkour.
Revolution Parkour classes are the first Parkour classes in the Pacific Northwest and some of the first in the country! Taught by nationally endorsed Parkour professional Adam Dunlap and supported by ADAPT Training, a gym with 10 years experience in athletic training, rehabilitation, and physical therapy, you will not find a more comprehensive Parkour education anywhere.
Requirements
Please note that all students are required to fill out the Revolution Parkour Class Waiver and Questionnaire provided here. Waivers will always be available for students to fill out when they sign in to class, but we recommend students download the waiver and bring it completed to class in order to expedite the check in process (you only have to fill out the waiver once). If a student is under 18 years old the waiver must be signed by a parent or legal guardian. For liability reasons no exceptions to this rule can be made.
