I'm a parkour athlete, coach, entrepreneur, and author of Parkour Strength Training. In 2006, I established the first parkour classes in the Western Hemisphere while also becoming one of the original professional parkour athletes in North America. I've performed and coached worldwide for organizations including the New Yorker, TEDx, ESPN, and the U.S. Embassy. In 2009, I opened APEX School of Movement and since then, we've grown APEX to five locations and counting. Recently, I founded ParkourEDU.org, an online platform dedicated to teaching the best parkour methods. You can find me on Twitter & Instagram: @ryanmford_
