A new type of fitness has been developed for folks who want to stay active and do something different from the usual gym or walking routine. This innovative Parkour class has recently been launched in Somerville at the Armory. It is designed for active aging adults (ages 50+) who want to become physically stronger, develop mental confidence, address the loss of balance and a growing fear of falls, and turn obstacles into opportunities, to feel younger and livelier. All classes are taught in a safe and positive environment by ADAPT certified coaches. They are open to all abilities and fitness levels, from beginners just off the couch to seasoned athletes. Movements are tailored to individual capabilities, including pre-existing injuries and limitations.

The classes happen inside the Center for the Arts at the Armory on Monday evenings from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. The spring session will begin on April 1 and continue through May. Participation is easily done on a drop-in basis ($15/class) or discounted via a monthly or full season membership. Sign up at pkgenboston.com or by contacting blake@parkourgenerations.com.
