How can Swift help me?
Fitness + Agility
Parkour involves a wide range of movements that can help improve strength, flexibility, coordination, balance, and overall fitness.
Parkour isn’t just about jumping over fences or off buildings, either. Slipping on ice, climbing a tree, even just walking through a crowd. The increased body awareness and Parkour skills you’ll have will make you more agile in all parts of life.
Mindset Transformation
Parkour can help you overcome physical challenges and obstacles, which can build their confidence and self-esteem. This can also lead to improved mental focus and concentration.
When you train Parkour, you get better every time at overcoming challenges you never thought you could.
Community
Parkour isn’t exactly what you would call mainstream. Sure, viral videos are probably how you heard about Parkour first, but what about the people that actually make up the community?
Because the Parkour journey is so personal, the community at large is incredibly welcoming to newcomers, and the community at Swift Movement is friendly — with a wide range of backgrounds. Enjoy the casual atmosphere, surrounded by like-minded people seeking to improve themselves.
Play Like a Kid Again
Parkour isn't just for kids! It's a chance for adults to unleash their inner playground enthusiast and rediscover the joy of playing. By bouncing off walls, vaulting over obstacles, and embracing their inner acrobat, adults can break free from the mundane and dive headfirst into a world where fun knows no bounds. So, put on your adventurous spirit and get ready to leap, jump, and roll your way back into the game of playfulness. It's time to parkour like nobody's watching and let the child within you run wild!
Competitions
Parkour competitions showcase athletes’ abilities by navigating obstacles in SPEED, SKILL, STYLE, or CHASE TAG. Participating in these competitions allows for challenging oneself, setting goals, and learning within a supportive community. Experience parkour for yourself and join the fun!
Nerf Wars
Every month we hold a 4 hour Nerf night! Pizza, darts, and safety goggles are provided. Participants must bring their own weapons and gear.
Jams + Outdoor Meetups
From Spring to Fall we regularly have #CincinnatiParkour athletes and Swift Community members heading out around the city to do parkour!
We host 2 larger events each year, the Spring Leave No Trace jam in April, and Cincy Jam in October.
