Role Models
Founder
Callun Lavington
Following a short-lived career as a professional Parkour athlete, Callun started Contendunt as a generic, run of the mill Parkour brand.
After years of battling severe mental health problems, Callun decided to change Contendunt's focus to promoting the inclusion and education of mental health in lifestyle sports.
"People in lifestyle sports are doing brilliant and inspiring things physically all the time, but there is a lack of discussion around our mental health. It's time to change that."

I personally am affected my mental health constantly as I have severe anxiety and bipolar disorder, but skating is my outlet. Having open conversations about mental health is very important to me."

Brand Ambassador
Isla Ramsay
Isla is a sport coaching student from Scotland.
"Parkour creates so many physical and mental challenges. After trying Parkour when I was 12/13 I found my passion for it again in 2022, and I work to spark love for lifestyle sports in young people.
Mental health is such an important aspect in our daily lives and is often neglected. I struggled a lot with my own mental health and working with Contendunt will be an amazing opportunity to raise awareness."
