APEX Movement Boulder

What an unreal place! The owners and staff are incredible, a grassroots Parkour gym of the highest quality. Couldn’t be more impressed!

I’ve been traveling around the country for Parkour and this is honestly the best gym I’ve been to yet (in addition to the Denver location). The staff is extremely talented and knowledgable because they told me they have to go through a rigorous training program in order to become an instructor. Whether you’re going for instruction or just open gym it’s 100% worth it!

Apex Movement Boulder has changed our family! My son, 9, started taking classes a little over a year ago and feels he has finally found his place athletically. He is constantly challenged and excited about being there. My daughter, 7, started in September and she loves it too. My husband began taking classes a couple months ago and is now a parkour junkie. And after spending hours upon hours at this gym, I too have begun an Apex Mom’s class! The owners and staff are wonderful. They care about safety foremost and are always encouraging and accepting of everyone that walks through their doors. They are movement artists. WE LOVE APEX! WE ARE AN APEX FAMILY!

Be careful if you decide to visit this business. They have a great product, parkour classes and good instructors BUT they do not know how to manage childrens classes. We attended the Level 1 childrens class last night and there were no limits to the number of kids that could participate. There were too many kids, long wait times in line and verbal abuse and cutting in line by the older kids to the younger kids. If you are going to pay $ 20/​hour for a class, and especially if you have multiple children (since there are no discounts), you should consider looking into gymnastics, karate or other programs that specialize in working with kids.

I love this place I love this place I love this place I love this place I love this place…
Get the point?
I love this place, and if you have a spy fetish, a deep fear or at least righteous recognition of the coming Zombie Apocalypse, a fondness for running from the cops (or are preparing to do something that might warrant such activities), or if you just seriously want to be more badass than you are now, this is your place.
Parkour is not just about backflips. It’s an integrated philosophy of movement that challenges your concepts about yourself, your body, and your surroundings.
Apex Movement is one of the premier Parkour training gyms in the US. ‘Nuff said. But I will say more, because I’m sesquipedalian like that.
I came here to get into the best shape of my life and have a helluva good time doing it. Both of these goals have been accomplished. But you also get increased confidence, new party tricks, and an increased mental capacity to see obstacles as opportunities. (and reduced fear of Zombies.)
The trainers are all awesome, patient, kind, knowledgeable, and generally wonderful. There is a great community of super cool people (yes, lots of teenage boys, which I find kinda fun). I’d love to see more women there (though there are a few).
It is not a competitive environment. It’s an enthusiastically encouraging one.
There are personal trainers that offer classes there every day. You can work out with a personal trainer every single day if you want to. The personal training classes are usually small, between 2 – 8 people, so you get great support & attention from these incredibly knowledgeable trainers.
Apex also offers tricking classes, yoga, climbing, and even Ukemi, the Japanese art of falling. The class schedule is full and diverse and convenient. The Level 1 class is the place to start.
I’ve seen people who are in incredible shape do unbelievable things. And I’ve seen people barely connected to their body become infinitely more connected to it in a few short weeks, and do things they never before thought possible.
I get the «Unlimited Gold» pass. $ 170/​month. Worth every penny. Every time I see the charge come off my account, I think to myself, «Feeling better than I ever have in my body? Priceless.»
Thank you Apex Movement. I freaking heart you.
