Wellington Classes
Unleash your true potential, through the incredible discipline of parkour. In Wellington we run classes to accommodate all levels of experience. Parkour aims to develop its practitioners into strong, resilient and useful people. This is achieved primarily through physical training, using the methods of overcoming physical obstacles and facing one’s own physical limits.
