CROSPO Hachioji, operated by HUMAX Entertainment, has undergone significant renovations, enhancing its popular parkour area with an exciting addition: the 'Parkour Run'. Set to open on July 1, 2025, this new course introduces a 17-meter long run, designed to challenge users based on their physical abilities, making parkour more accessible while still offering advanced challenges for seasoned enthusiasts.
The newly established 'Parkour Run' includes an array of upgraded obstacles aimed at diversifying the challenge levels. Participants can now utilize adjustable jump boxes with two height settings, zigzag balance rails, and bars to crawl under, adding complexity to their training. One of the highlights is the wall run feature, which presents varying angles for a more intense challenge, encouraging users to push their limits.
But what exactly is parkour? Originating in France, parkour emphasizes the skills of running, climbing, and jumping, focusing on utilizing urban landscapes and natural obstacles to enhance physical fitness. It's not just a form of physical exercise; it embodies a philosophy of self-improvement and overcoming fears. This makes parkour appealing to a broad audience, from children to adults, as it requires no special equipment, allowing easy entry into this invigorating sport.
At CROSPO, the 'Parkour Run' was meticulously crafted with input from experts to ensure a rich learning environment. The design facilitates a vertical run that can be tackled both ways, paving the way for exciting time attack challenges such as 'Speed Run'. The monthly introductory sessions, known as 'Debut Lessons', are set to improve significantly in terms of content, offering newcomers a comprehensive introduction to the sport.
The design was overseen by MISSION PARKOUR PARK TOKYO, Japan's pioneering professional parkour team. With a wealth of experience in training top athletes, their expertise guarantees a blend of safety for beginners and a rigorous experience for those looking for a challenge. This commitment to providing a secure yet stimulating environment ensures that everyone can enjoy the thrill of parkour at CROSPO.
Moreover, CROSPO Hachioji features climate-controlled indoor facilities where participants can stay cool and focused while engaging in activities. Since the summer of this year, a drink bar offering unlimited hydration, including sports drinks like 'Aquarius', has been introduced at a modest price. Furthermore, delicious reward ice creams—available in vanilla, chocolate, and soda flavors—add to the enjoyment while serving as an excellent way to stay refreshed in the summer heat.
CROSPO is designed to cater to various sporting interests and boasts a wide range of offerings including athletic training similar to 'SASUKE', archery, and climbing over nine meters high. Traditional entertainment options such as bowling and karaoke are also readily available, ensuring that guests can relax and enjoy themselves in comfort. With its air-conditioned setting, the facility is the ideal destination not only for combating the heat but also for an enjoyable outing on rainy days.
