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.
