Fit Fun

Seattle is routinely ranked as one of the most active cities in the country, a stat that’s not surprising when you dig into all the varied athletic offerings. Get a workout with these activities that are so fun, you won’t even feel like you’re working out.

Fly through the air

Even if you’ve never dreamed of running away and joining the circus, you’ll want to run to Georgetown’s School of Acrobatics and New Circus Arts (674 S Orcas St; sancaseattle.org), which offers classes in flying trapeze and circus basics like trampoline, aerial, and juggling. Nearby Emerald City Trapeze Arts (2702 Sixth Ave S; emeraldcitytrapeze.com) will also get you ready to hang from a bar upside-down and take a flying leap to one of the professional catchers.

Hop, skip, and jump

If you’ve ever watched American Ninja Warrior or seen YouTube videos of daredevils jumping in between buildings, you’re familiar with parkour. At Parkour Visions (2600 Airport Way S; parkourvisions.org) in SoDo, you have the chance to try it out yourself—on a less death-defying scale. A free first-timer class introduces you to this indoor playland, suitable for kids and adults alike, where you can practice jumping, vaulting, and running up walls.
