FACEBOOK ALBUM LIVE! // Two weeks ago we were thrilled to host the Women's International Parkour Weekend at our new HQ facility and the awesome spots of Archway, North London.⁠
⁠
We had a superb line-up of coaches with @bozuijderwijk1 and @lisaa_schneider98 both flying in to work with our in-house coaches; @natalie_anson and @georgiadonaticlarke with additional support from @dallex_ and @wrennemusic. With over 50 women and non-binary traceurs gathered together in one space, the vibes were off the charts!⁠
⁠
Across 16 hours of training, plus our special one-off Friendly Competition on Saturday evening, it was a beautiful celebration of movement, support, challenge and friendship.⁠

LOW IMPACT PARKOUR // Now let's be clear, whilst we believe parkour IS for everyone, it can also be perceived as the domain of 20-something's or those able to express huge athleticism and regularly grapple with fear.⁠
⁠
NEWS FLASH❗️It doesn't need to be that way. ⁠
⁠
This course is a jumping point for anyone that feels any or all of the following:⁠
⁠
- Nervous or anxious about parkour⁠
- Worried about pre-existing injuries or illnesses⁠
- Concerned about training alongside younger people and wants to feel the support of a mature community⁠
- Thinks they aren't quite fit enough⁠
- Wants to play and learn but without huge jumps or risky skills⁠
- Used to train parkour but has been away for a while and needs a gentle re-introduction⁠
- Is pregnant and wants to keep moving, but with certain adaptation to their training⁠
⁠
We're starting on the 31st May... that's this Wednesday. Sign up now at parkourgenerationslondon.com/lowimpact/ , head to our Glofox App 📲 or simply click the link in our bio to get signed up.⁠

If you want to try parkour but question whether you could… let us provide you with the answer. YES!

Believe it or not, this is Clive’s first class with us!!!! After attending our recent Suicide Awareness and Prevention Workshop, Clive decided he would #giveparkourago with our Low Impact Parkour Course, which starts this coming Wednesday. Having never tried parkour he decided to take a little ice breaker session with one of the course coaches (@jambonlebonbon) and this is what he learnt. Fantastic!!!

If, like Clive, you’d like to try parkour but are worried that your body might not be up to the task, this 6 week course is a perfect way to learn some skills without the fear of loading your knees too hard or not having the strength to support your body weight. Everything is approached in a progressive manner so you can feel your way out and challenge yourself when it feels appropriate to do so.

Hips Don't Lie // If you're feeling the effects of a sedentary life and want to breathe some space and strength into your hip girdle, this join us, June 10th for Part 2 in our Bulletproof Body series, with PKGen Rehab Specialist Charlotte Miles.⁠
⁠
Part 2 of this 3 part series will cover the hips and knees; common pinch points for athletes and those who do not train alike. These areas are often overly tight thanks to our perpetually "seated" lifestyles and even if we do train regularly, these tend to be in single planes of motion which don't work the full space available within these incredible joints - and this is where dysfunction occurs. Want to know how to fix it? Join us!⁠
⁠
DETAILS:⁠
Date: June 10th 2023⁠
Time: 2-3.30pm⁠
Location: PKGen London at Republic⁠
Cost: £30 (member discounts apply)⁠
