Npk Training Sessions.
Parkour Nottingham has been the leading community in the city since 2005, organising training days, meetings, events and helping to direct and teach new and young athletes in the right way.
The community in Nottingham is varied, the age group engaging in the discipline ranges from around 13-30, though the majority of practitioners are in their teens and early twenties. There is a real sense of camaraderie in training at the weekly jams, everyone is friendly and welcoming and willing to help anyone to develop their skills.
Ask any of the regulars and they’ll tell you that respect is given to those who put in effort, try hard and who are dedicated more so than anyone who is naturally gifted or is a part timer.
We do ask that people are the age of 13 or above to join practising with us. The reason for this is you need a mature mental attitude and understanding of how to train and use the body without being too risky. You should be responsible for your own actions, your safety and the ones around you. You have to be able to get yourself to and from town on your own as the main group does split from time to time into smaller groups.
The weekly training sessions are on average from 12pm onwards. Most people finish training at 5pm although some finish earlier, you free to come and go as you please.
Please be aware that when the weather is bad or unpredictable less people will attend the training sessions in extreme weather conditions. The group fluctuates from week to week and we take no responsibility for sessions being cancelled or people do not attend the prearranged meetings/events.
If you want to be fully up to date with all the events and what is going off in the community then please keep an eye on the Parkour Nottingham Facebook.
Hell Night Workout Session. (Thursday Evenings).
Meet up: Robin Hood Statue. (http://tinyurl.com/Npkmaps)
Time: 18:30.
These sessions are hosted by Zade and in basic form are a heavy duty full body conditioning workout session, using Parkour type moves and exercises to help build stamina and help gain strength.
It is highly recommended to come to one of these sessions if you want to get help get ahead of the rest in your Parkour fitness or if you just want a workout with something a little different then the gym.
These sessions are pretty hardcore and are not for the ones who do not like conditioning and hard work. Saying this when you have attended a few your strength will really increase and you will see and feel the difference.
Saturday Open Training Session.
Meet up: Royal Centre Tram stop silver benches (http://tinyurl.com/Npkmaps)
Time: 12:00.
A weekly open training session for people of all ages, levels and abilities to join and take part regardless of being a total beginner, intermediate or a more advanced traceur. Practitioners of all levels of experience are on hand, to give advise if needed. This session is a great way to meet other traceur’s, keep fit and have fun all free of charge.
Sunday Open Training Session.
Meet up: Royal Centre Tram stop silver benches (http://tinyurl.com/Npkmaps)
Time: 13:00.
This is a second weekly open training session for people who just can’t get enough of training and want to come out training again. If you can’t make a Saturday this second session might be more to your taste. Anyone can attend regardless of age, level and ability. Due to Saturday being the main Npk training session the regulars and masses are unlikely to be out due to this and being tired from the day before.

Come along to any of the training sessions on a Saturday or a Sunday to get stuck in with training and learning the basics. Anyone is welcome as it states.
There is no training sessions around the University Park area.

to add up. is there any training session around University Park?
Were you here this Sunday (1st March)?
It’s just that I’m sitting here, where is says I should be, half an hour later, having been here since before one, and no one is here.
You did say on this website that you were going to be here…
People are normally out and have been the last few Sundays and normally leave after ten minutes of waiting so I do apologise that no one has turned up today. It’s quite odd as with it being such a nice day I would have expected people to be out training in the sun.
People who train on Saturday tend not to be out on Sunday’s due to being too tired. If you want to come along to the Saturday training session instead people will more certainly be out.

Okay, i might do that, but i have never been before, so i was thinking that the sunday one might be better for me to go to.
i won’t go next weekend in any case, i am going somewhere for easter, but maybe the week after
Hey Guys, I am from germany Im studying in Newark and trained for one year with a group in Florenz (Italy) 2011. I looking for people I can train with. So I wanted to ask if you have a session this Thursday Evening the 12. April? So tomorrow!
Hope to meet you soon.
Ben
Hey Ben,
Tomorrow isn’t a Parkour training session. It’s a workout session for two hours and it will be cancelled if it’s raining (due to it being outside) which is likely given the weather at the moment.
The event can be found here… https://www.facebook.com/events/400103593334478
Come along to the Saturday training session as that will be Parkour/freerunning training and will be on in all weather as we have under cover areas.
can girls do parkour
Of course, we have a few girls who practice Parkour within the Npk. I can see why you asked this question though what with it being hugely male dominated.
