Blue Ridge Motion Joins Connection Counts at Floyd County High School

This November, Blue Ridge Motion is proud to be a community partner in Connection Counts, a free family and community event series at Floyd County High School. It runs every Monday in November from 4:00 to 6:00 PM, and all students, families and siblings are welcome.

Connection Counts is hosted by Communities In Schools of Appalachian Highlands and the FCHS Leadership Club. The goal is to bring students, families, school staff and community members together to connect, have fun, give back and celebrate our community. Every night has free food and treats, kids’ activities, games and family fun.

We love that students are leading the way. Leadership Club members are helping plan and run the evenings: welcoming guests, leading activities and working with community partners. That’s the same kind of leadership we build into every Blue Ridge Motion class.

Nights 1 and 2: take the balance challenge

Monday, November 2: Welcome, Give Thanks & Connect
Monday, November 9: Heroes & Community

Stop by our booth and see how long you can balance on our precision rails. It’s harder than it looks, and it’s a fun way to test your focus and body control. Kids, teens and grown-ups are all welcome to give it a try.

Night 3: a parkour demo you can join

Monday, November 16: Move, Play & Connect

This health-focused night is all about movement, wellness, teamwork and family fun, and it’s our big night. Our coaches will run a live demonstration of what a Blue Ridge Motion class looks like, then invite everyone to jump in and try it. We start the same way every student does: learning to fall and land safely, then building up to vaults, balance and climbing. No experience needed.

Scan, don’t carry

We’re keeping it simple and paper-light. At our booth you’ll find a flyer with a QR code. Scan it to see class times for your child’s age and book a trial class right there, or leave your number and we’ll call you with any questions.

Try a class for $30. Love it and join? Their training shoes and Blue Ridge Motion shirt are free with membership.

Blue Ridge Motion Is Bringing Parkour to Auburn High School in Riner

This Friday, October 23, the Blue Ridge Motion coaches are visiting Auburn High School in Riner for a live parkour demonstration. We’ll also run an introductory parkour session where students can join in and try it out.

Parkour is about overcoming the obstacles in your environment by adapting how you move to them: vaulting, climbing, balancing, jumping and landing safely. Getting from point A to point B is part of it, but the heart of parkour is learning to read your surroundings and find your way through them. Students at the demo will see what that looks like up close. Then they’ll learn the basics the same way every Blue Ridge Motion student starts, beginning with how to fall and land safely.

What students will try

Safe landings and rolls, the foundation of everything else
Vaults over obstacles, starting simple and building up
Balance and precision drills that build focus and body control
Climbing and wall skills, the ninja-style moves teens love

No experience is needed. Every student starts as a beginner and goes at their own pace.

For Riner families: keep it going

If your teen comes home talking about parkour, we’d love to help them keep growing. Blue Ridge Motion runs teen parkour and tumbling classes for ages 13 to 17 on weekday evenings, a short drive from Riner and Auburn. Certified coaches build on what your teen wants to learn, whether that’s flips, vaults or wall runs, one safe step at a time.

The Auburn family offer: book a trial class, and if your teen loves it and joins, their training shoes and Blue Ridge Motion shirt are free.

Book a trial class for your teen

Younger kids want in too?

We also run parkour and tumbling classes for ages 4 to 8 and ages 9 to 15. These are high-energy, ninja-style classes where kids build strength, confidence and coordination with qualified coaches in every class.

Thank you to Auburn High School for having us. See you Friday!

Fall Break Options for Kids in Floyd

Fall Break Options for Kids in Floyd. Hey Floyd county school parents! Fall Break is almost here, and if your kids are going to have a few days away from school, we think those days are better spent moving, playing, learning, and making friends than sitting in front of a screen.

Blue Ridge Motion’s Fall Break Camp is coming up October 16, 19 & 20, with three days packed with parkour, obstacles, games, challenges, and plenty of opportunities for kids to put all that energy to good use. Call us to book your spot! 5405770148

More Than Just Keeping Them Busy

We want camp to be ridiculously fun. But we also want kids to leave better than when they arrived.

Throughout camp, they’ll have opportunities to climb, jump, balance, problem-solve, work with other kids, try things that might initially seem difficult, and experience the satisfaction of figuring them out.

Those experiences help develop things that matter well beyond the gym: confidence, coordination, resilience, teamwork, strength, and a willingness to try difficult things.

And sometimes kids surprise themselves.

A challenge that looked impossible in the morning becomes something they can do by the afternoon. That’s one of our favorite parts of coaching.

A Different Kind of Fall Break

If you have a high-energy kid who is constantly running, climbing, jumping, or looking for the next thing to do, this is exactly the kind of environment we love creating.

Instead of telling them to stop climbing everything, we give them things they’re actually allowed to climb.

Instead of asking them to sit still, we teach them how to use that energy to learn something new.

And instead of spending Fall Break staring at a screen, they get a few days of real-world adventure with other kids.

Fall Break Camp Is Coming Up Fast

Camp Dates: October 16, 19 & 20

This is a three-day camp split by the weekend, with no Saturday or Sunday sessions.

We’re getting close, so if you’ve been considering camp for your child, now is a good time to reserve their place.

Come spend Fall Break moving with us at Blue Ridge Motion in Floyd, Virginia.

Give us a call and book your spot! space is limited. 5405770148

New Location for Blue ridge Motion.

WOOOHOOO! FINALLY! Who would have thought it would take this long to finally get open again?

Has it really been 3 years? Sheesh. That day we were forced to close and pack up was terrible. We had basically just moved into the (now former) Trampoline Park building, and just like that- he wanted the space for other purposes. We could have found something to move into in a short time… it would have been… less optimal for us, had I tried to force the situation- but I am glad we didn’t. I opted to wait until we were ready to do it again. Now- after finishing my home for my family, and having two beautiful little girls. I just could not sit still anymore.

On our land, we installed a tall metal garage type of structure. No exact future plan for it, other than storage to facilitate our move over to our own property and house (once it was done). After looking at the space the last year or so- I kept envisioning a personal playground inside. After all- I had all the mats, boxes and equipment RIGHT there! Then, after talking it over with my wife we made the decision to turn it into a training facility to host classes as well! I am filled with excitement about this! Finally getting to reconnect to what I love is another dream come true.

To think, not only do I get my personal playground, but I get to impact peoples lives for the better, train an amazing and fun discipline, do summer camps, birthday parties, all right here in my own back yard.
Exciting things to come- Waiting now on getting the building insulated, then we can get it painted, the floor sealed, the spring floor set up, the rails installed, and in spring- maybe we can build that outdoor park I always wanted! Keep your eyes peeled Floyd county- we are about to become the hub of youth activity! Parkour in Floyd, Gymnastics in Floyd, Kids activities in Floyd, Birthday parties in Floyd, and so much more!

If you or someone you know if connected to some youth groups, please get in touch with us, we want to link up with local churches, and offer ourselves as a resource for some Christian based training and special events for the youth. We LOVE our local community and want to help bless our local churches in floyd also!
