3. The movement standards are typical HQ unless otherwise stated.
4. Each team will be ranked according to their time or score relative to the other teams for that workout. Their final score for the workout will be equal to their rank.

Parkour and CrossFit are sister spirits in that we both teach body awareness through physical activity. The Parkour workshop will teach basic movements like landing, rolls and basic vaults/jumping in a controlled environment...right here in our gym. Ages for this event are 13 on up...so yes...your kids can participate and have a blast too!
The Texas Parkour founder, Matthew Willis and his Parkour coaches will be bringing this incredible, 2 1/2 hour workshop straight into our own backyard.
