Coach Kyle is so engaging and the students love him. The facility is always changing so the kids get new challenges. They offer weekend fun nights where you can drop off your kids and go have a 90 min date.

Incredibly motivating coaches, students, and environment. It was the hit surprise of the summer for us. We are now regular attendees and will be for a long time.

Just finished a birthday party for my 9 year old with coach Brian and the experience exceeded our expectations. Coach Brian is AMAZING at wrangling a bunch of excited kiddos and boosting their confidence. So glad my son asked for his birthday here.

My 12 year old daughter is always excited to go practicing every week. The coaches are great and make sure to provide personalized recommendation while also pushing the kids to continuously get better.

Instructors are brilliant at making it fun for all ages. My 9-year-old has been coming since he was 5 and the staff are like a second family. They understand what active kids need to do and are experts at enabling them to do all that stuff safely. Best small business in Woodinville IMHO

We absolutely loved having our sons 8th birthday party at Movefree Academy! From the time I booked my son’s birthday party through the end of the party I had nothing but a great experience! Jerry was helpful getting me all ready for the party day, ensuring everyone was signed up by a certain day so the kids could just play when they got to the gym. Helping with a few that didn’t quite get the registration filled out fully and also after the party we thought we had left something behind and very quickly got a phone call back letting us know the item was not there. (Which we found it in our car, lol) The party experience was phenomenal! ALL the kids at the party had a great time! Kyle was awesome at explaining things to the kids, incorporating the importance of safety, taking care of ourselves, treating others with kindness, competing with yourself instead of competing with others and at the end sitting down with the kids to have people share what they liked about the birthday boy. The pricing was fair and the gym set up looked good too. It was also very cool to know they change the set up regularly so people can test themselves in new ways each time they come! Thank you for such a fun party for our son!

My son has been going to MoveFree for the past few years. It's his favorite place to go. The coaches and staffs put lots of heart into this place. Great environment, structure of the class, rewards and teaching kids to be whole and social responsibilities. I couldn't say enough good things about this place.

MoveFree is an awesome parkour gym. The gym setup, climbing walls and obstacles are changed every week to keep the courses fresh and challenging. Coach Kyle is so great with the kids! He does fun, interactive, dramatic story adventures with them that involve team work, precise memorization and execution of instructions, as well as physical agility to pass levels and defeat the "boss". The kids get to pick "special abilities" at the end of class each week that they can choose to use to help their teammates defeat the boss in upcoming battles. The story is progressive but it is perfectly fine to jump in midway as it will still be just as fun and enjoyable. Coach Kyle also constantly watches the kids move and gives them tips specific for that kid to help them succeed in physical challenges. Advice about safety and healthy eating and movement are sprinkled throughout the course of the class as well. My daughter absolutely loves the classes! I appreciate the flexible format in that I'm not locked into a weekly class at a specific time but can join any class that has an opening as long as it's for the appropriate age range, or I can join multiple classes per week if I choose to!

My kids, ages 15 and 12, loved MoveFree before the pandemic, and they love it now. There have been some changes since the pandemic, and this business has struggled (like many). But Kyle is someone my kids look up to and trust, and from what I see he's an amazing coach who is doing his best to provide a safe, fun, healthy place for kids to learn and be active.

Instructors are great with multiple ages, keeping them focused through instructions and games. The gym area has multiple surfaces (some soft, some hard), rock climbing wall, high bars, climbing structure and mats, and balance beams and different heights, and ropes. Register in advance for classes, easy registration online, highly recommend.

There’s nowhere I’d rather send kids for education, healthy movement training, and safe fun than MoveFree. Coach Kyle has 10+ years’ experience coaching parkour, after becoming one of the first certified parkour coaches in the country.Classes are full because kids LOVE them. They combine parkour, rock climbing, and other movement skills with group activities that teach communication and problem-solving.Injury rates are incredibly low, because Kyle knows how to teach safe movement. Safety is always his #1 priority.I’ve witnessed his mentorship literally save kids’ lives during this pandemic through the time, energy, and compassion he gives.Kyle is excellent with kids of all ages, abilities, and neuro-types. Kids on the spectrum tend to find and continue with classes at MoveFree because they are safe to express themselves and are free to choose how they participate.You may notice a handful of recent 1-star reviews; much of what is shared in some of these reviews is exaggerated half-truthful information from former teenage employees who were unable to receive constructive feedback (such as what is/is not respectful behavior around kids) and are now retaliating through unfair, and honestly slanderous, comments. Do not allow these reviews to inform your understanding of this gym, because you might withhold your child’s next favorite, and most healing, movement experience.Read the 5-star reviews for accurate depictions of this parkour gym. :)
