As a local Temecula mom, finding the right sport and coach for my son was paramount. He's not just another participant in youth sports; he’s a child with his own passions and challenges. That's why we chose Freedom in Motion Parkour Gym. It’s a place that not only teaches him parkour but nurtures his whole self, instilling confidence and resilience that spills over into every area of his life. 


What Sets Freedom in Motion Apart?

Patient and Caring Coaches: The coaches at Freedom in Motion have an incredible amount of patience. They understand that every child learns differently and at their own pace. This patience creates a supportive environment that's ideal for young learners like my son, who sometimes needs a little more time to get the hang of new skills.

Communication that Builds Confidence: Effective communication is key in any teaching environment, and the coaches here excel at it. They make sure instructions are clear and that every child feels heard. My son feels respected and valued, which has boosted his self-esteem tremendously.

Passionate and Knowledgeable about Parkour: The enthusiasm the coaches have for parkour is truly infectious. My son has not only learned the technical skills of parkour but has also grown to love the sport deeply because of the passion modeled by his coaches.

A Positive and Encouraging Atmosphere: The positive environment at Freedom in Motion is something you feel right when you walk through the door. Coaches focus on what the kids can do, rather than what they can’t, which helps children like mine see challenges as opportunities rather than obstacles.

Emphasis on Sportsmanship and Safety: What really drew me to Freedom in Motion was their commitment to sportsmanship and safety. They teach kids about respect, empathy, and integrity, and they always prioritize safety, ensuring that all practices are fun but also secure.

Fun is Never Compromised: Above all, the coaches know how to make parkour fun! They turn each session into an adventure, keeping the kids engaged and eager to return. My son always comes home bursting with stories about what he learned and accomplished.





A Community That Supports Every Child

Freedom in Motion is more than just a parkour gym—it's a community. The coaches are not just mentors in sport but in life. They look for impactful moments to instill valuable life lessons. Watching my son thrive here, celebrated for every small success and supported through every challenge, has confirmed that we made the right choice. The coaches guide, inspire, and nurture a love for movement that I see lasting a lifetime in my son. They transform each class into a playground of possibilities, fostering not just athletes but confident, creative, and resilient young people.
