Urban Evolution

My six year old loves coming here. I love that it burns off some of his extra energy. The people teaching the classes are really good with him. He is on the autism spectrum and has trouble following directions, but they never get frustrated and he always has a great time. I also love the punch card idea so you don’t have to attend regular classes. We have a crazy schedule and it’s nice to be able to choose when we want to go.

Awesome! My son loves his classes. I have also taken several adult classes and they have been challenging and fun. I enjoy moving again and appreciate the variety. The instructors are great and provide feedback to ensure correct form and technique while creating an interesting and fun way to exercise.

I took my six year old to Urban Evolution in Manassas yesterday, for his first time. Where do I start with my thoughts? Right from the start it was a good experience. That’s from finding the site online and signing up, to talking with the young lady at check in, who was helpful, kind and had a pleasant smile. I loved watching my little guy out there! He was smiling the whole time. He was moving, running, jumping, somersaulting and so importantly; laughing. I don’t know what his instructor’s name was (he was a young guy, tall, long blonde hair in a bun) but he was amazing with the kids. He was funny and engaging yet kept great control of the kids while he guided them through the basics. The establishment itself was in a word… coolness — from the graffiti and the artwork all over the walls, the music they played, to the seating area up high so we could see everything easily. My little Nano was so tuckered out from class that bedtime was a cinch! haha. I’m definitely going to be bringing him back, a lot! Maybe someday I’ll find some nerve to take a class myself. :)

My son has been going to the Alexandria location for almost a year. We wanted to try this location because I really don’t like driving on 395.
The location is easy to find with lots of parking. I like this facility better than the Alexandria location because it is more open. I liked that the music here is not too loud. It seems more organized and calmer (than the Alexandria location) somehow.
The biggest difference for my son is the instructor. All the instructors he had at both location were friendly. This instructor he had at the Manassas location was especially good. He was focused and gave each student individual attention. He worked with each of them, gave each of them different tips on how to do it right. The class was more organized than all the other classes he took before. When my son got a small scratch his arm during the practice, the instructor showed my son how to avoid it next time. In a previous class with a different instructor, a student was scratched. The instructor just said getting scratches and bruises is part of parkour. It was very nice that this instructor took the time to show my son to avoid even a small scratch.

This facility is a great place. My 6 year old son attends here, and loves it. My wife and I enjoy taking hime to practice, because we not only get to watch out son train in the wide open space, but also get to see all the other students and trainers perform amazing acrobatic feats that defy gravity, and never fail to amaze. The prices are very reasonable, and ALL of the instructors are wonderful to work with.

I attend as does my 6 yr old. And once my 3yr old is of age, she will be doing her own tricks as well. The owners are awesome people and each of the instructors are great to work with.
Not only do they do parkour/​free running, they have obstacle course training, silks, gymnastics, weight training– for adults AND kids!
The location is easy to find, wide open warehouse style, with plenty of parking.
A couple months ago, we even hosted our son’s birthday party there. Morgan did a fantastic job with our group. He was incredibly patient and easy going.
This is a super fun place! Check it out!

This place is awesome. I dance at DivaFit (pole dance) and I want to compete (yeah pole dancing is not just for strippers anymore, they have real competitions). Anyway, I came here so I could improve my flexibiity, build strength, and learn gymnastics floor moves. I went to the Alexandria location first and the Manassas location is far better. It’s bigger, has plenty of space to tumble and has a tumble track. Plus the floor is not as dirty. I did tumbling with V and he’s fantastic. He’s got a great personality and is really encouraging, plus he’s trained other competitive pole dancers! I will be back as often as possible. Side note: we met other trainers at the gym while we were there and they super friendly. You will not be disappointed as an adult and I saw the way the Parkour trainers were with the kids and the kids all had huge grins on their faces.

I love this place and wish we loved closer so we could go more often! My 6 year old has attended 2 parkour camps («nano» for ages 6 – 8) and has loved them. The instructors were great and have a lot of patience (which is a necessity when dealing with jumping/​climbing 6 – 8 year olds). They teach things like jumping off of things, rolling and landing properly (a skill which has come in handy during some tree climbing expeditions).
The camps are great for breaking up the monotony of summer/​winter break and get the kids active so they don’t turn into gelatinous blobs with Mario burned into their retinas. I highly recommend the PK camps to any kids looking to get their sweat on (and to any parent who is looking for a break for a few hours).

This is the SPOT to challenge your mind, body, and soul (not necessarily in that order) and learn how to parkour! The Urban Evolution (UE) Manassas location provides plenty of space to become a «traceur» (a practitioner of parkour) as seen in various James Bond movies and reality TV challenges.
The friendly instructors provide useful one-​on-​one guidance to ensure proper technique is followed. Anyone can participate in the basic classes after completing a one 2 hour Parkour introduction course.
UE offers Parkour classes at their Alexandria location as well.
