If youd like to relive your passion, if youd strive to better yourself in every way possible. Mentally physically, spiritually then I highly recommend Fight or Flight academy. They have specialized training that is tailored to you and is top of the line, youll definitely have loads of fun. Its no ordinary gym, its a family thats there to help you. They have helped me reignite my passion as an athlete and performer. Im very happy Ive found this place

Chad the owner and founder is an expert with 20 years of expertise. The crew is super friendly and inclusive. Kids, families, and individuals from beginners to advanced people, from 13 years old to 117 years old are welcome to join.

Im so glad I found Fight or Flight Academy. I see it as a great way to get exercise in a way that is fun and engaging, while also having the possibility (if you want to) to dive in and really grow as a Parkour athlete. It takes me back to a time when I was younger and all about running, jumping, climbing on things, etc. Its super fun! Also, the energy is great, from the coaches to the community.

Amazing community, fun and accessible for all ages, levels of ability (Im at level 0! ) and many styles and traditions of movement. The equipment/ environment is something I dont think you can find anywhere else. Very kind, knowledgeable and perceptive teachers and peers!

I had a blast!! I didnt expect to do really well on my first day but I just wanna thank Jonathan Charpentier for teaching/training me. Fight or Flight Academy is definitely worth it.

It was my first day and they are very welcoming and non-judgemental. They accept everyone at any age into the program. Its good for me because it gives me something to focus on, other than my excessive thinking. Its good for the mind and body. Give it a go and you wont regret it.

I’ve been going to fight or flight for 3 years now and I still love going there just as much as I did then. Awesome group of people and friends who I’ve come to know well!

As a martial artist, finding a new way to know and improve my body’s capabilities is great! The diversity in the class was very comforting to me as well.

I just went for the trial. The instructors are very friendly and showed my kids and I some basic free running tricks. Their courses are great for kids and adults and they have online courses. Room for improvement would be in the organization of some things like enrollment and memberships, but they are still working things out, post shutdown for covid. Ill be sure to go again!

Not only are they incredibly knowledgeable about parkour and free running, they are a group that is very supportive of people learning the craft. Every time their trainer would ask me to do some movement, they were confident that I could do it and had set it up for success with good progression. For an art that is all about failing over and over until you succeed, they do a pretty good job of making it obvious that it is okay and necessary to fail sometimes in order to improve. Go check it out. You won’t be disappointed.

Chad and Kim as well as all the instructors are super awesome. In the month or so Ive been coming here theyve really helped me regain mobility in my ankes and shoulders. I can walk around and do things I never thought possible without feeling pain because of their teachings. Their classes are not only just for people who want to do flips and cool tricks but for people like me whove had major surgeries and just want to feel better on a daily basis. Highly recommended!

Went for free introductory course, dropped in on the first beginner class because it started immediately after. I had a great time and learned a few things; the instructors knew their stuff (theyre literally super ninjas theres no other way to put it) and were patient with my clumsiness. I will certainly be returning.

I think this place is fantastic! Just attended an intro parkour class and loved it, coach Chad is confident, kind and encouraging- not to mention astoundingly graceful and strong- I am completely new at the sport, and loved the positive affirmation he gave us.

Just went for an introductory class today, and had SUCH a blast. Im gonna be so sore The free classes are a good deal, but you WILL get sucked into buying a membership. Its 50% off after the first class, then you can get public service discounts. Im a teacher, so I ended up getting about 70%.

This is an awesome place for people of any age to learn martial arts and the art of Parkour. The instructors are exceptional with beginners and everyone in between. If you want to become more flexible, agile, and strengthen your core, this is the place to go!

This is a great place to increase your mobility and strength in a practical way. Going to a gym is great, and CrossFit will give you a good workout, but this place will do just as much while being more useful in the real world and far nicer on your body.

If youre into parkour or just want to try something new, this is the place for you to go. There simply is no other. We are very lucky to have this in Minnesota. Moreover the facility, staff, and community is simply amazing. I have been doing parkour for years all over the world but never have I seen a club so organized and dedicated as this. 5 out of 5.

Signed up for one of their free classes, got a confirmation email and everything to confirm the date and time, but when I showed up for the class they were closed due to the staff being at a wedding. I never got an email or any notification saying the class was cancelled. This makes me feel like the place is very unprofessional and doesnt care much about its customers.

Really great place to learn parkour. Very friendly staff. Great athletes are often not good instructors, but the teachers at Fight or Flight are able to explain complex moves and teach a reasonable progression. Started with the introductory course and signed up for regular lessons. Introductory prices were great.

I come to this place now and then, (but I will be going to it a lot more often), and every time I go everyone there is so nice and open to help. Chad and Skinny are great teachers and they created an awesome parkour gym. It is just a unique and open environment people should go to despite any excuses haha.

Review №47

Fight or Flight Academy is one of the only parkour/freerunning gyms in the country, and is the only one in the midwest. The instructors are world-class, very friendly, and really know their stuff. If youre interested, but not sure if you can do parkour/freerunning, they offer free introduction classes, and have great prices; you wont be able to resist signing up, once you give it a shot.
