ALEX POWNALL
HEAD OF COACHING
Alex started Parkour in 2006 aged only 15, leaping (yup, that's a pun) at a chance to funnel his considerable energy into something new and went to his first Parkour Generations Academy class two days later. With a background in several martial arts, rugby and basketball, he was ill-prepared for the life-changing developments and opportunities that this experience would bring. Needless to say, he was hooked from the outset! Alex has since competed successfully in athletics and weightlifting on the side, but is best known for his prodigious parkour abilities and impressive coaching experience. Alex is now Gym Manager at the London Parkour Academy, a Senior Coach and regularly leads workshops both in the UK and internationally. To those around him, Alex is a constant reminder that you need not be gifted or lucky to achieve anything, all you need is the will to succeed.
