Parkour

By day Gymjam Eldersburg is your fun, colorful children’s gym. On Wed @ 5pm and Saturday mornings @ 9:30 it turns into Maryland’s only Parkour gym. 

What is Parkour you ask?

Parkour is the art of movement. The primary goal is to move from one point to another as efficiently and quickly as possible using only your body to overcome any obstacles you face. Parkour is all about overcoming obstacles: both physical and mental.

Parkour is movement that allows you to either quickly cover ground to either get to or get away from someone or something . Parkour is similar to martial arts, where as martial arts are a form of training for the fight, Parkour is a form of training for the flight. 

At Gymjam our Parkour training takes 1 part conditioning, 1 part skills training, and 1 part collaboration. When possible we try to incorporate some outdoor activities in our classes.
