Fantastic experience: Love this place! My kids can’t wait for Sunday and Tuesday! Thank you guys
Fantastic experience: Me and a buddy went to the free first class together. We said we wanted to learn to backflip and Silas had us 90% of the way there by the end of the session, they def offer the free lesson because they know we'll be back with how good the trainers are, was great fun!
Fantastic experience: The team and environment is so well thought out. They have an amazing way of connecting with the students. Well done!!!
Fantastic experience: I have been going here for around 1.5years. It is a great place for socializing with friends and learning parkour. The coaches are really great, all of theme are very nice and fun. If u want to try something like parkour this should definitely be your first choice.
Fantastic experience: The staff here are incredible. They inspire children, youth, and adults, and create a welcoming community around Parkour and sport. The facility and programming is excellent too. There are only good things here.

Fantastic experience: Our kid was in Lemurs and now has graduated to Kids Parkour. The coaches are awesome!
Fantastic experience: My 10-year-old son recently participated in a session at Origins of Parkour, and he absolutely loved it! The instructors were incredibly supportive and made sure every kid, regardless of their skill level, felt confident and safe while learning the fundamentals of parkour. The environment was energetic and positive, keeping my son engaged and excited the entire time. He came home full of stories about all the new moves he learned and can't wait to go back! Highly recommend this place for kids looking for a fun, active, and inspiring experience.
Fantastic experience: Suman helped
Fantastic experience: Always appreciate this space, their availability in open gym and the group here. Instructors and participants give pointers to the younger bunch and they don't have to. It means alot to the kids!
Fantastic experience: Took my brother of 14 years old there for the teen class on Wednesday with Josh. My brother didn’t know anything about parkour and was a bit nervous at the beginning but Josh and the other classmates made him feel right home. Josh took the time to explain to him and encourage him to do stuff he had never done before. When the class finished my brother couldn’t be happier, we are definetly coming back next week. I recommend this experience to anyone that wants to try parkour. Thanks Josh.
Fantastic experience: Origins is just awesome.
Fantastic experience: Great facilities with patient, knowledgeable staff, who do a great job teaching kids of all ages parkour and flips.
Fantastic experience: Phenomenal place. I trained and landed my first ever standing backflips here, which as a 6'7 dude was no small feat. Very warm, welcoming vibe. Amazing, kind, present staff. I'm a fan! Highly recommended to anyone looking for an awesome, fun workout.
Fantastic experience: Awesome staff, awesome place!
Fantastic experience: My 6-year-old son has been attending Origin Parkour for about 10 months and still loves it. The staff are fantastic, showing great patience and skill in teaching the kids. The engaging environment and variety of activities keep my son excited and looking forward to every session. Highly recommend Origin Parkour for any child interested in staying active and having fun!

Fantastic experience: Great place for children
Fantastic experience: What an awesome place - well managed and supervised. Kids of all ages having an absolute ball!
Fantastic experience: This place is great. The teachers are kind, have good/strong boundaries, and push the kids to do their best. I appreciate the short amount of down/unsupervised time they get to just hang out and try tricks with friends.
Fantastic experience: The staff are awesome, place is super cool. fantastic for kids' birthday parties
Fantastic experience: Such a great program for kids. It’s so nice to see our kids who are less inclined to competitive sports have a safe and fun space for them to play, jump, move their bodies. Also fun and interesting for adults and people at all skill and experience level. The instructors are really informative and take an inclusive approach to learning.
Fantastic experience: Place is super fun and there are a lot wonderful coaches and people to learn and train from.

Fantastic experience: I’ve taken classes here for a few months and I really enjoyed it. The teachers are great. :)
Fantastic experience: My son has gone here for years. Loves it! Staff is accommodating and professional. Training is great and annually they host an international competition.
Fantastic experience: It's a great environment with friendly coaches that will help you with anything. I have been going there for a year now and everyone has made me feel welcome and a part of the community! They also host meet ups for the parkour community outside of the gym and I 100% recommend going
Fantastic experience: My fave

Fantastic experience: Awesome place for kids and any sort of age group people
Fantastic experience: Kids love it!
Fantastic experience: Fun place. Wonderful staff. Friendly people. Recommended for everyone.
Fantastic experience: This place is so fun to play and try things out! Great for a date or to take the family. I love the bars into the foam pit, the spring floor, the trampoline to the big pads. ♀️
Fantastic experience: Great staff, great gym, great experience.
Fantastic experience: My son has attended various classes now for the last two years. This is the perfect place for any kid that likes to jump, climb and run. If your child wants to take their playground experience to the next level, this is the place! Experienced coaches teach movement for all levels in a safe environment. All the coaches are super friendly, the kids love them. Definitely recommend to anyone.
Fantastic experience: Gut eingerichtete Parkour Halle. Kompetente und freundliche Lehrpersonen. Offene Trainings oder Walk in Kurse verfügbar.
Fantastic experience: This is one of my favourite places in the world I have been training here for about 6-7 years now. It is more of a home to me than any of the places I have lived. The staff are all awesome friendly people. The coaches are world class and the community at the gym is the friendliest environment I have ever had the chance to be apart of.
Fantastic experience: My favourite form of exercise. Parkour is a sport that will change how you look at your surroundings in everyday life, and there’s no better place to train that then at Origins Parkour. I have been going here for just under 8 years now and it has been one of the most positive aspects of my life. The coaches are all very friendly and well informed in their field, and the community is very welcoming to people of all skill levels and ages. If you ever have felt the need to try something new that gets you active and out there, give parkour a try.
Negative experience: Talked on the phone about pricing told them im on my way with my 7 year old. Arrived was told we had to wait until 2 which was 2 hours from then already payed for parking. Then spoke to me in a condisending tone like it was my fault Terrible customer service and communication thanks for nothing
Fantastic experience: Definitely not the sport for everybody (i.e. injury prone) but even with the risk the instructors do a very good job keeping you safe while being encouraging and pushing you to try new things I did the tricking classes and learned to do a back/front/side flip and it felt nice seeing me do stuff I didn't think I could accomplish. The space is soft and even if you fall it doesn't hurt too much (pending where), and the foam pit is really fun to launch yourself into. I don't feel safe or confident using what I learned outside, but inside Origins I have no problem
Fantastic experience: First time and our L.O loved it. The staff were very approachable and willing to guide
Fantastic experience: Couldn’t be happier with this gym. Have yet to meet anyone that isn’t nice and doesn’t help out. So much of my progress can be accredited to the people at the gym. And I’m not talking just about the instructors (who are amazing btw). This is truly a cultural hotspot for the sport. Big ups!
Positive experience: Our 9 yr old is liking kids Origin Parkour classes. All kids classes are beginner friendly, so anyone in the age group can participate. Kids get optionally tested for various 'band' levels (similar to martial arts belt colours) if they want to participate in higher level classes. Seems the basic classes tend to be quite full with drop in filling up the spots by several days before the class. There are session classes that go for a term, but other classes are generally offered weekly, which you can either pay by the month for weekly classes of your choice or pay per drop in. Everyone is welcome. It's pretty cool, only that they cannot easily maintain social distancing in full classes.
Fantastic experience: You'll like it, trust me.
Fantastic experience: Cool place is awesome
Fantastic experience: It's my dream place. Want to be here all the time. Lol
Fantastic experience: If you want to learn and practice Parkour at any age, this is the place to go! This is where my kids and I started Parkour many years ago and I'm so tanksful that this gym existed! Every member of the staff is fantastic, professional, really nice, extremely knowledgeable and pioneers in this sport. Each class I attended is always fun and helped me improve my technique and meet other people sharing the same passion for Parkour. On top of that, the gym is actively involved in the Parkour community and organize regular events and worldwide recognized competitions as well as weekly jams to allow people to get together and practice Parkour in a urban environment.
Fantastic experience: If you're interested in trying out parkour, this is definitely the place to do it! It's a huge space with lots of permanent and moveable structures that you can jump on, run, stride, climb, swing, roll, vault over, etc. Not only is the facility amazing, but all the coaches are also very good at teaching based on your level of skill and comfort. There are a variety of lessons both for kids and adults, so you can try out what you like. The gym attendants are also very kind and helpful in providing tips when you need it. They also have good cleaning protocols in place, and currently because of covid they are also restricting the number of people in the gym at a given time. I had my very first parkour lesson here about 6-7 years ago and have never looked back :)
Fantastic experience: I’ve been training in this facility for 3 years, as well as my kids. Great coaching and outstanding layout.
Fantastic experience: Both my son and I take lessons here and they're great. The instructors really care about us and always adjust the class to have variation so I can keep up.
Negative experience: Poor quality of COVID protocols - Staff who are kids, do not have the customer service skills. Better train somewhere else.
Fantastic experience: Love it for my son!
Fantastic experience: The best staff ever. Professional and friendly. I had to call them twice for booking issues and they took their time to sort it. Extremely helpful.
Fantastic experience: My little cousins had their first ever parkour lessons here. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Great teachers and let them be themselves, while shaping them to improve their monkey skills. Definitely coming back!
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym,great staff & outstanding obstacle course. Place has everything you need to do any trick or move. One of the best parkour/free running places I've been to.
Fantastic experience: One of a kind place. Excellent coaches who take their time to personalize the lessons for each student. My son has been training with them for years, and he loves the place so much. They do an amazing job and make their lessons valuable and helpful but also fun and memorable Thank you so much Origins!
Fantastic experience: My oldest son was never into sports and would quickly lose interest in being part of sport teams. Every since he’s joined Origins 3 years ago, he’s been enjoying every single class and always looks forward to going. He’s really bonded with the amazing instructors and made good friends. I cannot thank Origins enough for helping Denis develop the love for Parkour and keeping active. I always recommend Origins to everyone who has active kiddos.
Fantastic experience: Fun. Nice people!!
Fantastic experience: I love Origins Parkour!! I started training there a year and a half ago. I've taken Tricking and Intro to Flips classes regularly as well as the occasional Parkour class. On my first day I was so nervous as I walked up the stairs towards the door, but as soon as I entered I was welcomed by a staff member at the front desk. All the staff and clients are all so kind and encouraging that I soon felt right at home! The coaches are great and give a lot of specific personal feedback so I was able to progress and learn skills that I never imagined I'd be able to do. I feel very lucky to have faced my fears because Origins is not only an amazing place to train, but also an incredible community of athletes of all levels, supporting each other!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic classes for kids! Instructors are welcoming, encouraging and supportive. Awesome opportunity for kids to burn off energy and move their bodies. My 6 year old LOVED the classes there..I hope they are able to offer them again soon.
Fantastic experience: Amazing facility, and very kind and welcoming staff.
Fantastic experience: Amazing place to train with great coaches and atmosphere. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: An awesome place to do parkour at, foam pit, spring floor, climbing wall, bar cage, and so much so much more. The only problem that you might run into is parking, but it is worth it.
Fantastic experience: In the top two best parkour gyms in North America. Quality community, knowledgeable coaching staff. The place to be if you live in the area.
Fantastic experience: Solid facility, great coaches
Positive experience: Attended Summer camp. This gym is clean, well organized. Only concern is “supervisions” during open practice. Kids get excited too much and staff and instructors are busy with other tasks. My child enjoyed so much. I recommend this place for active kids.
Fantastic experience: Great gym - they are hosting the largest competition this week - I am going to drag all my friends to see the crazy parkour athletics - experience of a lifetime!
Fantastic experience: Competent coaching, well designed facility, and they are at the forefront of the Parkour Movement. If you aren't going to this gym, you're missing out.
Fantastic experience: Nice and spacious gym
Fantastic experience: I visited Origins Parkour to watch my grandchildren practice. It looked like they were having a lot of fun and the trainer was very patient with the children. I especially loved the big murals that are on the walls. Excellent messages of the evolution of Consciousness, if you can believe that. :)
Fantastic experience: The best Parkour gym I have been in North America. It is a big place with a lot of options and classes. The NAPC event is one of the most important competitions. It was worth going from Brazil.
Fantastic experience: Great place for the kids and teens to play and the moms/parents to hang out in the loft above talking and enjoying the entertainment down below. :-D
Fantastic experience: Nice gym
Fantastic experience: Two of their staff (Liam and Tom... or at least I think it was Tom) did several session at the school where I teach. They brought in the equipment and delivered awesome and engaging instruction to the kids. Even the normally non-participants were keen to try everything the guys instructed. Very professional, yet fun, people. Couldn't have had a more positive experience.
Positive experience: Kids love it!
Fantastic experience: Had a really great experience here. The owner is really chill and its a safe and friendly environment. I was planning to do a day pass to just check it out but I bought the monthly pass on the spot instead. It has most, if not all, equipments to try out the different variations in parkour tricks and set ups. You can set up the blocks in so many ways and it's definitely a great place to try your thing out. People are very friendly and nice so you don't have to worry about being judged. It also offers lessons on parkour and tricking for those who are interested in picking up a new hobby, mastering a certain trick, or wanting to learn new things. The possibility is endless. I'm definitely looking forward to using my membership to its fullest extent and I highly recommend this facility to anyone who is interested in this kind of activity.
Negative experience: I am very disappointed by this place as an incident occurred earlier this week about parking and poor managing skill from manager Derek. First time coming to this facility and I am asking one of their employee Jaxcson about the parking situation where he specifically told me that I could park anywhere as long as I have their pass on my dashboard and not in a reserved sign. Not only once this have been asked but twice by my other friend to make sure that we don’t have any problem. Also to keep in mind that no sign in their establishment is showing or directing customer to the back parking lot. I got a parking ticket due to the assumption of their employee Jacxson that I was supposed to know that their parking lot is in the back. Sent an email to their manager and this is the most unacceptable and unreasonable response. In short: “Hi Alex, I'm sorry to hear about that miscommunication. I spoke with Jaxon and he is sure now to clarify where our private lot is. While I apologize for the miscommunication and inconvenience, I'm unable to compensate you for the ticket -- you may have to try your luck with the City of Vancouver, as I heard you do get 1 freebie a year for parking ticket incidents. I hope this doesn't dissuade you from training here, as parking remains free for patrons in the lot behind the building “ Even after acknowledging that it was his employee mistake and miscommunication Derek will not compensate my parking ticket nor any kind of compensation but ask me to go to the City of Vancouver and do the legwork myself to ask for a freebie? What kind of customer service is that? This is ridiculous and shows how poor of managing and customer service skills this place has.
Positive experience: Realy cool place but I would suggest paying for lessons to have your kids trained properly that way they will be as safe as possible
Negative experience: J0
Fantastic experience: Awesome place to have fun.
Fantastic experience: Awesome installations!
Positive experience: Our family enjoyed the gym a lot. It took a while for us to relax, having the kids jump off the high plaforms onto mats and such. We will likely go again especially on a rainy day.
Fantastic experience: What? You haven't been yet? Awesome!!!
Fantastic experience: excellent place to train, very clean and good perspective
