Texas Trip

This spring, some of our board members made a trip to Texas to train with other national leaders and the amazing SA crew.  Much training and jubilation  ensued!  Some was even caught on tape, and edited by Jereme Sanders of Texas Parkour.  Look for guest appearances by Tyson Cecka, Brandee Laird, and Janine Cundy.

Free Parkour Class in Bellevue, March 15

img_0259Join Parkour Visions as we offer our first Bellevue class on Sunday, March 15 from 3pm – 5pm at Northwest Crossfit in Bellevue. The free class will be modeled after our highly successful free monthly workshop in Seattle; it will be led by veteran traceurs Tyson and Rafe and will focus on fundamentals such as safety, running, jumping, climbing, vaulting, and rolling.

Parkour Visions’ future plans call for expansion into the Bellevue area with regular classes, and this marks our first East side offering. If you or someone you know lives on the East side and has an interest in learning Parkour, email us at classes@parkourvisions.org or stop by this free class to learn more about our classes, and membership options.

Northwest Crossfit Bellevue is located at 12121 Northup Way, Suite 110, Bellevue WA 98005.
