Joey Stier, Owner & Head Coach
Joey has been training parkour for over 10 years, with a background in college sports, skateboarding, & weightlifting. Joey’s coaching style has been bolstered by attending international parkour events, such as American Rendezvous, Move NYC, & Oslo Movement Festival Gathering. Joey was immediately drawn to the personal challenge of parkour, and enjoys guiding each student through their own individual process to becoming a better mover. Joey took over Innate Movement from longtime owner & founder Dylan Johanson in 2025.
Daegan Swasey
Daegan has been with us longer than anyone, having started training here as a student at age 13. Daegan has a background in wrestling, calisthenics, & boxing, bringing a powerful & unique approach to movement. He also has a deep love for animals, especially his cat Chowder, and his Betta fish, Miguel. “The sense of community that this gym provides keeps me showing up, even when I’m not at my best, and I’m grateful to be a part of it.”
Alex Cantres
Alex is another student-turned-coach, having started in our youth classes before joining our adult program, and eventually, our coaching staff. In 2024, Alex attended a year long athletics & parkour program at Ollerup, a Danish folk school. Ollerup aims not only to train coaches, but to “improve students as citizens of the world”. Alex’s approach to coaching pulls heavily on this idea, inspiring students not only to improve as athletes, but as people.
Aaron Ploss
Aaron has only been practicing parkour for a few years, but has taken quickly to the uplifting nature of the community and inherent freedom of parkour. Aaron embraces both the competitive and non-competitive sides of parkour, encouraging all students to come together and better themselves one challenge at a time. Aaron’s background in pet grooming and construction shows up in his coaching, with a deep well of patience and ability to adapt to any situation.
