About
Vision Parkour

Welcome to Vision Parkour Gym. Our mission is to be the first dedicated parkour gym on the San Francisco Peninsula.

Why Parkour? Not every young person fits the mold of conventional team sports. But everyone deserves to have fun while expanding their fitness and confidence. Parkour athletes use their bodies to move through the environment efficiently and creatively. They learn to safely jump, land, climb, vault, and flip over real obstacles. Parkour develops outstanding strength, balance, coordination, and community in a completely fun way!

At Vision Parkour we teach the fundamental skills of parkour, and practice them by running fun obstacle courses, playing movement games, and overcoming challenges together. 

Vision Parkour is a welcoming place for all people. We are excited that you are joining us at Vision Parkour to explore this sport that we love so much!

(Vision Parkour Summer Camp: 5-8 Years Old (2024))

My son (7yo) wanted to try a parkour since he watched a video on YT. He had a 5-day summer camp (2hrs each day) at Vision Parkour and had so much fun. They stretched at each beginning of the lesson, and then climbing up and jumping off big blocks. They were swinging off ropes later of the week. Staffs were very child friendly and 2-3 of them for 8 children. Super fun activities and a lot of sweat. Highly recommended.
The location is very easily accessible from US-101, and a plenty of parking lot at the back. They also shared a space with fitness training, so I could have a fitness lesson while my son was in the Parkour camp…. 😄
Highly recommend! Vision Parkour is a newly opened parkour gym for kids looking for something new and exciting to do. Are your kids tired of doing the same old camps/classes? Do you want to get them off that computer? This might be just the thing! My son took an introductory course with Icarus and it was great to see him focused on how to parkour safely and with flair! Icarus had them stretch before class began and then had them start with light parkour moves, slowly working up to a more complex obstacle courses. There were plenty of water breaks and Icarus was great at gauging how much to push the class. Icarus was patient and instructed the students in a gentle manner. The class check-in process is super easy (computer at the front desk) and the gym is clean and sanitary. Jon is the GM who can answer any questions and is there for whatever you need. Currently there are plans to offer summer camps and they are available for birthday parties.
