WHAT IS PARKOUR?

Parkour Fitness™ was developed and refined over a decade of training by the coaching team at the very heart of Parkour Generations, the world’s first and largest resource of parkour education.

Combining decades of experience in parkour with years of teaching tens of thousands of athletes in dozens of countries around the world, we have captured the key principles and methods of practical movement training and poured that into the Parkour Fitness Specialist programme. While it may seem groundbreaking and innovative, we are in fact simply restoring our movement birthright to an industry that seems to have fallen prey to unhelpful deconstruction and purposeless systems!

Parkour Fitness founder, Dan, has studied practical movement and physical fitness his entire life, with an elite background in fighting arts before he found parkour in 2002. Dan has taught parkour to thousands of people across every continent since 2005, from Olympic athletes to military Special Forces to the first ever kids classes and everyone in between.

Dan created the only recognised parkour coaching certifications in the world, the ADAPT Qualifications. His programmes have been accredited by YMCA Awards, 1st4Sports, ACE, NASM, FIT and more, as well as being the centrepiece for major international fitness events such as IDEA WORLD and Paleo f(X) in the USA, Fitpro Live, MOVEfit, World Power Show and Leisure Industry Week in the UK, Asian Fitness Convention, IFEX, Barefoot Training Summit and many more.
