How fit do I need to be to start parkour?

One of the most common things we hear from people considering parkour is “Wait till i get fitter, give me some time to go to the gym and train up”. The truth is, you are ready now. If you really want to train parkour, start now. There is no level of fitness required. You can start training from whatever level of fitness you are at, whether you have not exercised for 10 years or are an active marathon runner. Of course the fitter, stronger and more coordinated you are, the easier it will be to pick up but you can start at any level, and the best way to get in shape for parkour is to start training parkour!
