Hub Parkour Training Center (commonly known as Hub Parkour or Hub PTC) is an athletic training facility and parkour organization based in eastern Massachusetts. Originally formed in 2010 as the parkour team Hub Freerunning, the organization opened the first dedicated indoor parkour facility in Massachusetts in January 2016.[1] Hub Parkour operates training centers in Sudbury and Norfolk, and regularly hosts regional and national competitive events.[1][2]
History
Hub Freerunning and "Hubbable" (2010–2015)
In 2010, athletes Dylan Polin and Kyle Smith established Hub Freerunning alongside Alex Fraley, Chris Rowan, Dustin Bryant, and Curran Ferrey.[1] The team organized community outdoor training sessions and produced video projects across New England.
During this period, the team founded Hubbable, an annual multi-day parkour gathering held across public training locations and regional gymnasiums in the Greater Boston area.[3] Hubbable grew to become one of the largest annual parkour gatherings in the United States, attracting international practitioners annually for a decade until public events were paused in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1][3]
Between 2010 and 2014, Polin directed a dedicated parkour instructional program within the New England Sports Academy (NESA) in Westwood, Massachusetts.[1]
Norton facility (2016–2025)
In January 2016, Polin established Massachusetts Parkour Inc. and opened the first standalone Hub Parkour Training Center in Norton, Massachusetts.[1] As operations shifted to the commercial gym, the original performance team was formally absorbed under the facility's banner. The Norton location operated for nearly a decade, serving as a primary training ground for regional athletes and hosting qualification events for national circuits.[1]
Expansion to Sudbury and Norfolk (2025–present)
In September 2025, the organization opened a second facility in Sudbury, Massachusetts, designed with modular obstacles, spring floors, and dedicated zones for competitive parkour and freerunning.[1]
In late 2025, Hub Parkour closed its original Norton gym to relocate operations to a 7,500-square-foot facility in Norfolk, Massachusetts, which opened in March 2026.[1]
Events and competitions
Hub Parkour hosts domestic and international qualifying events:
- New England Youth Parkour League (NEYPL): Co-founded by the gym to provide structured developmental competitions for youth and junior athletes across New England.
- National Championships: In June 2026, the Sudbury facility hosted the United States Parkour Association (USPK) National Championships, serving as an official qualifier for international competition circuits including the Sport Parkour League.[2]
Notable athletes
Athletes who have trained with or represented Hub Parkour in national and international competition include:
- Brandon Hooper – Three-time Sport Parkour League World Skill Champion (2024, 2025, 2026)[1]
- William Hess – SPL World Speed silver medalist (2024)[1]
