FAQ

Bethesda parents ask.

How far is Bolt Parkour from Bethesda?

About 20 minutes from downtown Bethesda via Old Georgetown Road or Rockville Pike (closer to 25 at rush hour), and less from Wildwood, Luxmanor or Ashburton. We're at 4950 Boiling Brook Pkwy in North Bethesda, with free parking.

When are classes?

+

Classes run 7 days a week. The live schedule above shows every class with open spots.

Does my child need experience?

+

Not at all. Parkour Basics and Intro Parkour are built for first-timers, and coaches place students at the right level.

Can my child come straight from school?

+

Usually, yes. Weekday classes start at 4pm or later. Standard MCPS elementary dismissal is 3:25, and middle and high schools let out earlier.

Is Bolt a gymnastics gym?

+

No. Bolt is built for parkour and tricking, with vaults, walls, bars and precision-jump zones, and our coaches are parkour practitioners first. Our sister gym, Dynamite Gymnastics Center, teaches gymnastics.

Do you host birthday parties?

+

Yes. A Bolt party is 90 minutes: a coach leads parkour games and obstacle courses on the equipment, then cake and presents in the lobby. Parties are for ages 6+ and run on weekends, so book 4–6 weeks ahead.

How much does it cost?

+

Intro classes start at $35. Monthly tuition starts at $135 depending on class length, and additional classes get a 15% discount.
