Coach
ALEX
7 years into West Coast Parkour’s journey, we have grown immensely and a new head coach was needed. The man for the job was Alex Grinter. Alex comes from a gymnastics coaching background, but his passion lies within parkour/freerunning.
With W.C.PK’s vast knowledge, Alex has entered a profession that accurately reflects his personality, skill set and importantly – coaching content. Less than a year into his journey with us, he has become the second qualified level 2 coach in Somerset, where he now stands as Head Coach.
Alex’s knowledge covers both creative movement (somersaults, spins, kicks and more) and efficient movement (vaulting, climbing, jumping, running, etc), where his coaching ability will enable you to realise, unleash and develop your full potential. Alex keeps his mind and body active with other hobbies including circus skills, travelling, skateboarding and martial arts.
