ABOUT US
Ninja Warrior has taken the world by storm. It has become increasingly popular by all age groups and abilities. The process of attempting an obstacle and advancing forward is extremely rewarding and motivating. This motivation is what keeps this sport growing by leaps and bounds.
Our mission is not just to provide a fun way to workout. The world is full of confidence killers and we are here to turn this around. Our coaches and staff are all working in unison with the members to support and encourage accomplishment and build a real sense of confidence. We've created an incredible culture of friendship and a feeling of belonging. Finding a place to belong is something we all crave as humans. This along with a strengthened confidence is our goal. What better place to find this than our Ninja Warrior gym. Confidence, exercise, encouragement, strength, friends, belonging, advancement.
Not to mention that almost all of our coaches have
competed on American Ninja Warrior.
