A concept design for Bay Area Movement’s new 10,000 sf parkour gym in San Jose.

The gym required obstacle design and equipment unique to parkour training. The obstacles are designed to be challenging for the expert and yet progressive for beginners. The gym’s overlapping training areas creates a landscape of possibilities to technically traverse the space at your personal skill level. Practioners are encouraged to create their own route with movements/techniques they are familiar with, there is never a fixed path from point A to Point B. In design collaborations with gyms owners, certified coaches, and brand/website designer specific training elements, equipment, and spaces were incorporated into the gym.

Class are up and running and every week volunteer construction labor brings the gym closer to reality. As a fellow practitioner with close ties to the San Francisco/Bay Area Parkour, I was elated to be approached by my peers for the design of the new gym. The feedback has truly been rewarding.
