Our Mission:

Abstract In Motion is Central Oregon's first Parkour gym. Our mission is to create a community for everyone to enjoy movement, challenge the idea of playing and improve personal fitness.

About Parkour

The essence of Parkour can be stated simply: it is the art of overcoming obstacles as swiftly and efficiently as possible using only your body. The fundamentals include running, jumping, and climbing, and we build on these fundamentals to improve our ability to pass over, under, around and through obstacles with more complex movements. Parkour is a system of fitness training that improves strength, speed, agility, co-ordination, stamina, endurance, and precision. It offers a full-body workout at any level of experience, and improves your ability to move, to harness your confidence, to change how you see the world.

About Our Instructors

 Eric Corrales - Owner and Head Instructor

Nickname- Gorillaman

I have lived in Beautiful Bend, Oregon since I was a young teen and couldn't see myself anywhere else but here. I’ve been training in Parkour for 13 years and teaching for 10 years. I started my career teaching at Acrovision Sports Center in 2010 and soon after became the Parkour Director there. In 2012 I left the company, and began teaching my own Parkour and Tricking classes at Sortor Bushido Kai Karate. I built up the Bend Parkour community through facilitating public meet ups, private lessons, camps, and workshops. In 2015 I was able to open my own gym, Abstract In Motion, and have continued growing the community since. Summer of 2021 I had the opportunity to expand the business into what you see today.

Life inevitably has some hard times, through Parkour I have been able to overcome and learn from these adversities making me into the man I am today. I haven’t always been athletic, in fact, as a child, I was the least athletic in my family. I suffered severe asthma and couldn’t even go outside due the severity of my condition. At 5 years old I was finally able to go outside for several hours at a time, and was soon addicted to running and jumping around! This was my first trial overcome through Movement. Several years later in 2008, I found my life and my passion, something I could be good at and enjoy to do, Parkour!

For 3 years I tried opening a gym and always ran into some kind of barricade. I was able to open in 2015, but less than a year later I had my first real injury, in a foam pit at a gymnastic facility. I had fractured my Talus. For anyone who doesn't know (because I didn’t) it's the little bone that connects the ankle to the heal of the foot... Pretty important. I was out of commission for months, unable to train or adequately teach. Once I thought it was healed, I immediately re-injured it. I had been entertaining children and did a back flip o a table, landed it, stepped off the table and slipped in mud. This tore a tendon from my Talus and put me out of commission again for months. It was a rough first year for the gym, but just like any Parkour move, I eventually overcame these obstacles and have opened up this awesome gym! Injury and challenges tend to happen in life and both have a way of making you more humble to the little things. You slow down, rethink and slowly but surely allowing yourself to heal and progress. And I plan on continuing to heal and progress efficiently and effectively.

Through out my years, I have traveled places and met people I would not have unless I started Parkour. I am excited that now I am not only able to share my stories but I am able to bring instructors and students on some of my journey's with me. So they may find their own stories to tell.  I don't know what the future holds for me but I know any obstacle that gets thrown in my way, I will leap over it and be better than I was before. :)

Kyler Kramer- AIM Instructor

Nickname- Ginger Batman

My name is Kyler Kramer, and I’m the Ginger Batman. I’m 18 years old and a graduate of Bend High. I’ve been training parkour for 5 years, and I love it. Parkour is no longer another hobby for me. I currently teach both Level 1 and 2 on Wednesday, but I’ll be at the gym to train everyday. Since I started training parkour I’ve grown so much as a person, and I’ve met so many people and made so many new friends. I started back in 2015 when I was in 7th grade. I was pretty intimidated by it all, because everything seemed to difficult and intense. But after a while I got comfortable with the building and the people there. Now I have the amazing opportunity to become part of the parkour community in Bend, and all over the world.
