As a member of Forever Young Parkour I look forward to every session. It’s an important part of my life and has been for 5 years or more. Jacob is an excellent teacher. We do a variety of different exercises and movements at every class, and Jacob always explains the aim of each.

What a fantastic academy! Jacob manages to make every session fun and engaging while helping guide the student's progress development. He teaches them how to properly assess risk through playing different games and doing different challenges! Couldn't be happier with the academy!

I’ve been doing Parkour with Jacob for the last 4 years. He’s an excellent coach - knows when to encourage you to go a bit further than you thought possible and always ready to suggest modifications if something isn’t working. Jacob ‘s classes are safe, well-structured and, above all, enormous fun!

Jacob is a truly inclusive and encouraging teacher. You start out a class thinking no way and by the end of it walking away filled with happiness because you did what you thought you couldn’t do. Jacob creates a very encouraging environment. You won’t be disappointed if you join one of his classes!

My son has been coached by Jacob for 2 years now and it’s been one of the best things my son has done. He’s grown mentally and physically. Jacob is a fabulous teacher - my son has learned more than just parkour skills; problem solving, positive outlook and determination to name but a few.
My son won’t give it up! Highly recommend Westcoast parkour.

My son has been doing parkour with Jacob for almost three years. He had tons of fun, huge improvements for his body and stronger minds. He also does other activities but parkour definitely is his favorite.

Parkour has been an amazing experience. Jacob (Captain Adventure) tailors the exercise to suit all age groups. I look forward to our session every Wednesday - it is one of the highlights of my week!

Jacob Peregrine-Wheller’s parkour sessions are simply the best - a series of games and parkour moves that sharpen the brain as well as building strength and agility. Above all his sessions are huge fun. The highlight of my week, I always leave with a smile on my face - and no gym session has ever done that!

Awsome coaching. Full of energy, full of fun, from an absolutely awsome athelete. Jacob makes it all look and feel easy, while fully understanding what it means to be a beginner and appreciating everyone's limits. He is so encouraging you can't help but give it your all. Guaranteed for fun and for real improvement of skills.

Simply top notch. Our daughters enjoy it and definitely helps in tune with other sports they take, like swimming and tennis. An added bonus that not only did it vastly improve their stamina but also mental strength when competing.

Worked with Jacob for many years now and can't recommend him enough. As a coach myself, I have learned a lot from him. Your kids for sure will learn in a safe environment.

I joined Jacob’s Parkour sessions for seniors at the Olympic Park earlier in the year & I can’t remember the last time I had so much fun! I felt apprehensive initially: you know, that voice of your old PE teacher saying you weren’t trying hard enough (or were just plain useless 🙄). But Jacob is so encouraging, supportive & kind, and always provides differentiated ways of approaching an exercise, or respects if for any reason you feel unable to participate.
Each session is structured in two parts, ie warm-up stretches & team games, with a fun penalty of having to ‘run round the wilderness’ - with the 2nd part in either the adventure playground or designated parkour park. I’ve felt challenged, included, entertained & occasionally out of breath! I’m a lot more body confident now & am prepared to have a go. It’s become a key activity in my week & I definitely recommend you give it a go.

For seven years so far, West Coast Parkour has provided me with one of the highlights of my week. Exhilarating, fun and challenging times, with an endlessly inventive coach.

As a member of Forever Young Parkour I look forward to every session. It’s an important part of my life and has been for 5 years or more. Jacob is an excellent teacher. We do a variety of different exercises and movements at every class, and Jacob always explains the aim of each. Most importantly, each class is fun, with new games and challenges. It is not competitive - we are all exploring what is possible and sometimes amazing ourselves.
I feel safe in Jacob’s class too, knowing that I will not be asked to do anything that I’m not capable of and being helped to do my best, often surprising myself along the way. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone looking for a friendly and enjoyable way of keeping fit, and rediscovering the joy of play!

My 10 year old son has been having parkour lessons with Jacob for a year now and I can not recommend him highly enough. The lessons are such fun and Jacob has taught my son so much more than just parkour with his growth mindset teaching style, patience and positivity. The lessons are kept challenging and most importantly he teaches him how to do everything safely.

Our 9-year old son has done Parkour at Quayside for 2 years now. He absolutely loves it and it is his favourite after school activity. So much so that he has had parkour parties for the last 2 years in a row. Jacob was absolutely brilliant with all the children, whatever their ability. He engaged, encouraged and supported them all, it was wonderful to watch. Many thanks to all the West Coast coaches: Jacob, Alex and Jordan.

Jacob is more than just a parkour coach - he is a mentor, a friend, a training buddy, a passionate soul channeling his love through coaching, playfulness, inclusivity, and vegan lifestyle. Any session with Jacob is truly enjoyable, there seems to be endless ways to train as he keeps you engaged both physically and in the spirit. Always encouraging and keeps you challenged to your level, and he is not afraid to open up a discussion if he sees a point that needs mentioning or broadening your views on. I'd definitely recommend taking his West Coast Parkour classes if you are based in Somerset, or in London because he teaches there too!!

Fantastic group!
Jacob was a Ninja Warrior finalist and is as talented and fun in real life as he was on the show!
He brings genuine warmth and enthusiasm to all that he does, and I highly recommend anyone interested in exploring movement and fitness to get a little bit of West Coast Parkour in their lives!
I'd give them 10 stars if I could! Too bad science hasn't found a way to make that possible..... yet!

Parkour isn't just about taking part in a sport, it's about working on your inner and outer self, learning how to not compete against others but to compete against yourself, making everyone a winner.
If you want your child to experience something new and exciting I can't speak more highly of West Coast Parkour and Alex and Jacob are fantastic teachers who's main focuses are fun, play and having new experiences.

We are only week three of our Parkour Journey but I can’t thank you enough for the support and encouragement you have given my daughter. She has struggled with anxiety for years and in the space of a few weeks I have seen her make friends, improve in self confidence and push herself to achieve things she would have in the past avoided.
I couldn’t be happier and more thankful, Alex and his colleague are making such a difference and it’s inspiring to watch. Can’t wait to see her progress in the coming months, I’m just gutted I didn’t find you sooner! Highly recommended.

I just wanted to say thank you for the fantastic growth opportunities that the sessions have offered Lizzie. The experiences she has had will stay with her for life, we will always be able to chat about the positive times she has had at West Coast Parkour, and I am very grateful for that. For example, Lizzie recently took part in a dance show where she was on stage in front of many people, and one of her school teachers from 2018 said, 'Wow, I never thought she'd have the courage to do that', which made me really happy because I can see how much her confidence has grown and I really feel that parkour and having a weekly commitment and a social group has contributed greatly to her confidence.
Also a specific message to Jordan, about his unwavering commitment to the sessions, super-friendliness and professionalism, a true example of someone who is literally built for the job he is doing and it shows. Especially throughout a pandemic, which just highlights his determination and sets an amazing example to young people about overcoming challenges and getting on with things, which is such an important life skill that he demonstrated so well.😁
