"I've been studying martial arts for years, and I've never been as challenged, physically, as at the Fifth Ape classes.  I've been learning a completely different kind of control, utlizing muscle sets I've never had to develop before, and having a lot of fun doing it!  It's added a whole new dimension to my training."

"What a treat to exercise outdoors, focusing on movement and fun goals like getting over that wall, getting all the way down the rail without falling off, nailing that jump. It is as joyful as playing, with the added interest of learning about the physics of your own body. Great stuff!"

Evan Galloway

-Agreements Manager

"I have learned more about efficient movement in two months than I learned in 20 years as an athlete. The coaches are thoughtful, knowledgeable, and encouraging. Also, they have developed great progressions for difficult movements. More than anything though, the Fifth Ape classes are intensely fun."

Anna Smith

-IT Sales

"Working with the Fifth Ape group has been a blast. The classes are entertaining and dynamic and the coaches are always so helpful and friendly. There was never once a moment where I felt intimidated like Parkour or Martial Arts wasn’t for girls."

Becky Davis

-Project Coordinator

"The members of the Fifth Ape team have continuously been encouraging, supportive, and exceptional teachers. The classes are always fun and upbeat and the instructors work personally with every student to bring out their full potential."

Jason Denhart

-Engineer

"If you’re like me and think gyms are like cages and treadmills seem a lot like hamster toys, Fifth Ape is going to be a great choice. If you don’t think those things about gyms, take a critical look around next time you are in your gym… then come try Fifth Ape!"

Katie Rose Levin

-Researcher

"This is a workout that never feels like work, but what's better is this: after a session with Fifth Ape I'm sore in places I didn't know I could be, pushing myself in ways I didn't know existed, and moving with grace and ease through places I never imagined."

Matt Steere

-LMBT

"Each class gives me insight into how my body mechanics work, allowing me to take this knowledge into my everyday life. I recently assisted my brother with a big move and not only was I able to lift many heavy boxes, but I did so without hurting myself or feeling really tired once it was done. I am pleased to have training that has such a direct application in my whole life, not just at the gym."
