Review β„–1

I started Parkour with Tempest for the very first time ever, at the age of 27 (I hadnt even stepped on a trampoline ever before by that time)I always wondered whether Im 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 youre 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 (Im looking for a discount Tempest people 😜 )

Ive 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. Ive been recomending this place since day one to people I know.

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.

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.

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!

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 leaderships 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!

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

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.

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!

Its a great place that we found totally on accident. My soon whos getting out there and running/jumping around and i hes learning how to do it safely. The instructors are great with the kids and parents plus its not very expensive for the classes. The lounge upstairs is a great pace for parents to wait and watch the kids learn without being in the way our a distraction. Overall I would say great value for the money and a great way to let kids of all ages get out and burn some energy. I would recommend to anyone with children.

Review β„–16

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.

This place is amazing. The classes are fun and informative. The set up has a lot of flowing obstacles, and the trampolines and bag have helped me build confidence in my flips. Even the other members are very helpful and friendly. I would go everyday if I didnt get so sore after.

This is a great place to go to have fun or if your up to the challenge, progress to the higher levels. Me personally I take the classes and Its an understatement when I say the coaches and experience is amazing. During the open gym times the coaches are there for you to show you things coach you and just to talk to. I highly recommend this place to anyone not just children! Especially if you want to get into the freerunning and parkour community.

Tempest Freerunning Academy is by far the best gym for parkour/gymnastics/tricking that I have ever been to. Aside from having a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment, the ambience is unlike any other.Unlike other gyms that make you feel like an inmate at Arkham Asylum, Tempest has marvelously decorated obstacles that make you feel like a character from an action movie/video. Everything is made to look like rooftops, parking garages, Bridges and more. They have even got a variety of American Ninja Warrior obstacles such as the warped wall and quintuple steps.Moreover, the staff is very friendly and co-operative. They are always willing to help.Not very experienced in freerunning? They offer classes too!
