ABOUT US
Bolt is a family-owned and operated business located in North Bethesda, Maryland and is the only gym in the DC area designed specifically for parkour.
We have built a space based on three pillars: Community, Development, and Safety. Community represents our belief that we have a duty to help others in a kind, compassionate way. Development means more than just skills--it is the belief that our teaching impacts the lives of our students through serving as role models, reinforcing positive behavior, celebrating achievements to build self-esteem, and learning how to form friendships. Safety includes a clean space, trained instructors, and developmental curricula.
Our Mission is to create a safe, supportive atmosphere where people of all ages can build core life skills, self-esteem and social skills through the Bolt experience. All can develop their physical and mental fitness, and foster a love of movement -- while having fun!
WE ARE BOLT
Bolt started with a group of students and instructors at The Agility Center clammoring for more space to practice parkour and freerunning. Once the group grew to nearly 80 students and the need for a larger space was clearly established, we built out Bolt as a separate facility to serve as their new home away from home.
​
Eight years later, many former students are now teachers and delight in passing on their knowledge and passion for the spot to the next generation.
