History
The dream is to create a single facility with the simple goal of teaching MOVEMENT and achieving fitness through movement. I had seen the workout gym cycle; Person signs up, works out hard for a few months then drops it. Why is that? Hmm I realized its because there is no goal. You show up, you do what you feel you should do and then you get bored. Behind Swift there is always a goal, a progression, a next step or a different program with a new movement to master. Then the dream began, starting in late 2011 Matt began teaching Parkour at Top Flight Gymnastics as “Swift Movement Studio”. October 2nd, 2015 the dream is alive; Swift Movement Studio had its Grand Opening. Seth and Matt worked hard for months to imagine, design, and build Cincinnati’s first dedicated Parkour and Movement facility.

I’M NOT COORDINATED AND HAVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING LIKE THIS, WILL I BE ABLE TO do it?
Every body is different so that being said Parkour will come naturally to some within a degree. Others may need to work a bit harder but EVERYONE is capable of doing Parkour in one form or another. Each person will have their own style unique to them. If you're unsure where to start our Swift Fit class is great for adults, and either youth parkour or pre k pk are ideal for kids!
