Parkour Generations (PG) is hoping to give a leg-up to the increasingly popular parkour training discipline by launching its new MOV’ concept, a group exercise programme designed for health clubs and leisure venues. MOV’ is based on the practice of parkour
– which has expanded substantially since its development in France in the late 1980s – and has been designed by PG to bring the excitement and spontaneity of parkour into health clubs and expose it to a wider audience. The new functional training programme – comprising five different modules – has been designed to encourage people to step out of
their comfort zone using the fundamentals of movement, all in an accessible environment. The programme encompasses jumping, climbing, running, vaulting and balancing, which its developers say leads to greater fitness levels, muscle strength and confidence. “Parkour is an art of movement, a holistic training discipline that allows for free movement through and over terrain,” says Dan Edwardes, co-founder of PG. “We have designed MOV’ with differing modules, so there will be a programme to fit each operator’s needs or individuals goals.” Details:
