Salto is where I first started learning parkour and freerunning, but it was a long time before I started to take my skills outside to less forgiving obstacles. A parkour park would be a great way of attracting new members to the sport, assisting the transition towards training outside and giving a new platform to learn moves and technical challenges that can't be set up in the gym.

I've watched the gym attract new parkour enthusiasts since joining myself about 12 months ago, it's easy to see the demand is rising for potential further facilities. Doing so would make this gym a leader in local facilities for parkour enthusiasts and will attract further members as word spreads. If you ask some of the parkour enthusiasts who already attend, many travel up to an hour to attend regularly as they are that dedicated. Further facilities can only compliment what the gym has attracted so far.

My son isn't in to competitive sports and for children like him free running USA wonderful way of staying fit, expressing himself and finding a way for him to experience his environment in new ways (plus it gets him off his screen). We should be making sure that the facilities for this are the best they can be.

A great place where I am seeing my daughter's grow in confidence and strength with their gymnastics.

When the leisure centre shut the sports hall for the rebuild I thought my daughter would continue her gym at another venue in Andover, but sadly it transpired there was no where to relocate as everything was fully booked. We are a growing town, we need the additional facilities

Totally up for this! I'd love to see a calesthenic section in the gym for body weight training, and a adult bouldering wall, more classes for Children not quite at school on later in the afternoon making it more accessible for working families, and some more adults classes, parkour, body weight training etc!

Definitely support this. Where else can teenagers go to keep fit and have some adrenalin induced fun?
