Built a National Parkour Movement

Mark Toorock is the founder and CEO of American Parkour, the first organized parkour community in the US, now over 165,000 followers strong. He is also the owner of Primal Fitness, one of the first CrossFit gyms in the world (affiliate #54). 

Applied Solid Business Skills to Fluid Movement

Mark's diverse background from technology manager to gym owner and trainer gives him a broad view for his Public speaking and Life coaching. Mark started his career a technology person in the early 90’s and NASDAQ registered stockbroker in 2001. In 2003 Mark was working in London as a technology manager when he discovered parkour, reminding him that his true passion was movement, teaching, performance, and building. During that time he honed his skills and helped define the discipline with many of the movement’s founders. 

Results for Kids, Brands, and Athletes

Mark has continually operated the first and longest-standing academy for parkour in the world. He has brought Parkour to the mainstream media through television series on broadcast networks, high profile performances, and advertising for major brands. Mark continues these activities with top athletes and staff but has added a new passion in recent years – bringing parkour to schools and designing equipment that supports the joy of movement that early parkour training can bring to kids. 

Lives changed

Mark’s curriculum and equipment can now be found in over 50 schools throughout Washington DC and Maryland. American Parkour is beginning to implement parkour programs and facilities in summer camps. 

Forging the Future

Mark is a founding member of The United States Parkour Association, the national governing body for Parkour.
