What our clients say about us
Highly recommended
If you are looking for a gym, this is the place you want to be. Full body workout, supportive environment, and flexible scheduling makes this the BEST place in the tri-state area.
Edit: My son has added private lessons onto his weekly classes and what a great experience it has been. His confidence has boosted even further (he is a pretty shy kid until he warms up). Through one-on-one coaching, he has learned to embrace his mistakes because he sees his coaches "miss tricks" too. I've seen a great improvement in his ability to accept a failure and work to make it right. Thank you to all of the coaches who continue to help build and shape the lives of the athletes.
Sincerely...One Grateful Parent.
Overall it was equally fun and challenging. As a 60 yr old it’s everything I was looking for as far as a mix of strength training, natural all over body movement and fun. Highly recommend, for all ages!

Yes. Beginner classes are built for people with no parkour or acrobatics experience. Coaches use gradual progressions so students can build confidence, learn safely, and move at the right level from the first class.
The facility is designed to prepare you for any environment and provide a controlled learning environment. As such, we teach our students to learn how to assess risk and you learn their limits, as we believe relying on padding does more harm than good (there’s no padding in the real world!). It is our job to teach you to keep yourself safe with proper movements and techniques.
Yes! We have dedicated seating areas just for parents and caregivers. We want you to see the magic firsthand-how our coaches teach more than just flips and vaults. You’ll witness lessons in discipline, confidence, fitness, and real personal growth. We believe parkour is a journey the whole family can be excited about.
We offer a unique training experience you will not find anywhere else in Cincinnati, with specialty programs, custom-built equipment, the only certified parkour coaches you will find in Cincinnati, and member events that make training more fun and more consistent.
To help you find the right fit, we offer 50% off your initial trial class.
Memberships start at $149 for 4 weeks, and we offer several membership options based on how many days a week you would like to attend and which classes best match your goals.
We also offer family discounts when more than one person from your household enrolls.

We accept kids as young as 4 years old. Each of our sessions are split up by both AGE and SKILL level.
We have weekly sessions for:
- 4-6 Kids

- 13+ Teens and Adults
Dress for movement and play. Athletic clothes like a T-shirt and shorts are great, and closed-toe shoes are required. No sandals or Crocs, and rubber sole shoes are preferred.
If it is hot or cold out, dress for the weather, as the gym space may be warm or cool depending on the outside temperature.
It’s a familiar scenario – some students don’t connect with traditional sports and end up feeling uninspired, turning to excessive screen time at home. At Swift, parkour feels like a real-life video game! Without the daunting rules and expectations of conventional sports, kids and adults alike explore new ways of using their bodies, thriving as they climb, swing, flip, and more. Witness the blossoming love for play and movement in our students as you read testimonials from students in our gym. Come and see for yourself!
Every class at Swift Movement follows a proven structure to maximize safety, progress, and fun:
Active warm-up and conditioning to prepare the body and prevent injuries.
Skill instruction based on our level system to meet each student where they are.
Games and coursing that let students apply their new skills in creative, playful ways.
Whether you’re brand new or more experienced, our classes are designed to build both confidence and capability.
