What a great experience! This year’s Summer of Sweat, a series of activities to get women into sports, featured a £10 Women’s Parkour Lesson. I leapt in, slightly afraid that I’d have to jump off buildings. The two instructors — a guy and a lady — who had the most amazing traps and lats I’d ever seen started us with the very basics. We slowly worked up to playing on a scaffolding maze just a few feet above the floor, and having tons of fun. They do women’s classes, kids’ classes, and free days to just come in and practice with minimal instruction. The instructors were really encouraging and not pushy at all — they’re all about having fun in a new and different way.
