Which class is right for me?

The Movement Creative offers several classes across a wide range of skills and focuses. While each session is designed to be friendly for both newcomers and parkour veterans, it can be tough sometimes to know which class is best for you. We created this quick guide to help you understand the differences between sessions and help you make an informed decision before you start moving with us.

  • Intensity: 5/10

    Best Suited For: Beginners or students looking to brush up on their movement fundamentals. The soft mats and blocks at Cocoon make it a great introduction or re-introduction to movement if you’re working your way up to training outdoors. Also a great option for those coming back after an injury or a hiatus.

  • Intensity: 8/10

    Best Suited For: Students of any skill level are welcome, but expect a decent workout. These sessions run year-round outdoors, and the attitude that the Tuesday crew brings is to attend “no matter what.” If you want a strong community of movers to hold you accountable to your training, this is the session for you.

  • Intensity: 7/10

    Best Suited For: While beginners are welcome to join this session, some parkour or sport experience is suggested as a baseline level of strength and coordination will help immensely. If you’ve ever dreamed of doing a flip into the pool or backflipping your way onto the dance floor, this session will teach you how to get more comfortable upside down. Coaches will also give you plenty of conditioning exercises to ensure your body is strong and limber enough to handle the impact of flipping.

  • Intensity: 5/10

    Best Suited For: Students looking for more of a “classic” parkour experience will feel at home during Saturday sessions. Featuring a mix of technique work, movement games, and partner challenges, these outdoor classes are a great introduction to parkour and our community. All ages are welcome, so it’s a perfect opportunity for the entire family to move together.
