Tempest Freerunning Academy - Texas Parkour

Tempest is a really great place to progress/train. Sure you can basically do parkour anywhere, but at tempest the equipment/people make it so that you can do so much more.

This place was really cool, everything was very organized and any potential problems that could have happened were dealt with efficiently. Personally, I had a great time with all of the staff and the nature was very chill. Would give more stars if possible

Love this place! Open gyms are always filled with people who are so supportive and who push each other to learn new things. Great way to spend an evening and get a workout in.

The culture at this gym is getting it right. Parkour and freerunning are about building up the whole person, not showing off. It has been a pleasure to watch the new leadership at this gym dive into crafting a culture that leads kids through a process of learning movements and body control while emphasizing safety. All this, while teaching them about not giving up, and about how to do more than they thought they could do. I have seen this approach before during the current leadership's tenure at another gym. The affect that this approach had on young people, when they succeeded at things they thought they could not do, bumped up their general confidence. To see kids' confidence grow as their ability grows is really a sight to behold. The new leadership at Tempest Southlake emphasizes safety, perseverance, and incremental improvement. Whether your kid is a star athlete or is struggling with body awareness or confidence, this will be a place of growth for them!

We love this place. We started bringing our 9 YO hear a few months ago, and he loves it. They work them extremely hard, and make it fun during the process. Definitely recommend.

Love this place! Can’t wait to come back. The facility is safe and clean. Hoping the springs on the trampoline can be changes to optimize their bounce (I don’t think they are perfectly taut) but overall it’s great!

My family has had a very difficult time with the management at Tempest Free-running Academy. The staff did not have good communication between each other as well as with our family. One staff member would say one thing to us while another staff member would tell us something different. We also found religious discrimination as we were not able to participate on Sundays for religious reasons, but that is the only day they offer the five minute testing in order to progress through the class. The manager was not willing to be flexible for my son’s testing. Also, the manager supposedly lives in California while this gym is located in Texas. This is probably a big reason for the lack of communication between the staff-manager and families. Because of this, the manager is not able to truly lead, guide and know the participants or the staff.I truly wish this company the best, but I want people to be aware of the likely breakdown in communication and lack of flexibility that you may encounter.

I checked this place out during a vacation to Texas and loved it. The coaches are friendly and really know what they’re doing. I know the manager personally and can say that he is a great leader and does his job well. Definitely check this place out if you can!

I started Parkour with Tempest for the very first time ever, at the age of 27 (I hadn't even stepped on a trampoline ever before by that time)I always wondered whether I'm good enough to start training Parkour. The staff at the Tempest have truly been remarkable in getting me through this journey. They have always made learning steps into progressive training, that is trying out easier version of a move first before going on to the actual tougher one.That being said, the gym is very well equipped with safety equipments so that you can progressively train in safety, if like me you're initially scared of starting out on your own. It also has fun challenges and lines which you can keep exploring in your own time.For all the super duper experienced people, quite a good professional crew also come to train around, with whom you can build networking and do fun stuff (some of them have also helped me a lot in open gym).The only caveat which I find here is they may have expensive merchandise, if you really are looking for some (I'm looking for a discount Tempest people 😜 )

I've been going to this place since the soft opening in 2018 then a bit off for own reasons. and back again. It always presents new challenges and people that turn in to friends. The classes are taught by top notch individuals. The gym... its got a something for everyone. a super tramp, a tramp wall, an area for tricking, a foam pit which has a lot of room, several areas to climb or do chase tag. It is a conglomerate of activities. The prices for open gym are great for the hours that they are opened. I've been recomending this place since day one to people I know.
