I have nothing but amazing things to say about Warrior Challenge Arena.
The owner Jared, truly went above and beyond. He worked so well with all our kids, he constantly had words of encouragement, positivity, lessons and funny stories. So many times I watched our kids get reenergized and become more confident with Jared’s words and actions. We came on a field trip today and I felt very confident in the safety of all my children, as it was clear safety is their first priority. Working with kids, sometimes I can be quick to say ‘let me help’/ ‘be careful’ / ‘no we aren’t allowed to do that’ & Jared just let them be kids! He encouraged them and helped them learn on their own, to problem solve their challenges. He often spoke of ‘the true warrior’ which was very cool. I took a step back myself to better watch and help encourage rather than physically help. The area is huge and full of things I have never seen in my adult life before. Truly like a kids heaven. We had scheduled the full 90 minutes and after the whole 90 minutes, our kids did not want to leave. They even made the audible “awwww” when Jared announced unfortunately our time was up. We all left with high-fives, smiles on our faces, sweat dripping down & the sense of a new found accomplishment. Safe to say we all had a very quiet bus ride back to the school because the kids were exhausted from all the exercise and had slept the whole bus ride back. This was our school’s second time here and we’d personally request Jared specifically again. I recommend this place to anyone wanting to challenge themselves. Kids, teens and even adults have the potential to take a turn themselves. We love it here! I was so impressed by how Jared ran this group that I wanted to write the review the same day we visited. Thanks again for a great time,...
Read moreMy daughter went to a birthday party at Warrior Challenge Arena last year and ever since then she's been begging to have her next birthday party here.
When the time did come to book her party, she decided she still really wanted to have her party here. I reached out via the form on the website and heard back super quickly with details on pricing and options, and just as quickly when I asked for availability for the specific day. We booked the party and made our deposit and leading up to the party had a lot of updates to throw at them including number of people, time in the party area, and add ons like ordering pizza. Each time their responses were prompt and incredibly helpful.
On the day of the party Jared greeted me and gave me the full run down, and made sure all my questions were answered. We got set up and right at our party time they brought the kids on the floor for both guided activities and free play. They really made my daughter feel special by letting her lead the activities and even gave her a few special things to do, which she absolutely loved! All the kids in the party had an amazing time with coach Jared and coach Logan and we felt they were safe and taken care of the entire time.
At the end of the party, every single parent came up to tell us how much they and their kid loved the party. Jared let us know we could leave anything we didn't want to take (extra food, decorations, etc) and they would clean it up. That was a huge bonus and made our life so much easier!
Jared, Logan, and the party planning team made my daughter's birthday part so amazingly smooth and fun - I would not be surprised if she wants to come back next year and I would gladly do...
Read moreI teach life skills at an alternative high school. As part of our life skills program (called Discovery), we take our students on a required field trip to the Warrior Challenge Arena. This is done to help our students use their skills in an outside, challenging and engaging environment.
Michael (Owner) does an outstanding job with the scheduling of events; he's very personable and easy to work with. Kyle is our Lead Coach and he does an outstanding job taking our students through the various activities of the day. If you've even seen American Ninja Warrior, the activities our students do at the Warrior Challenge Arena is a "little" like that (minus the extreme heights, some of the complicated obstacles and the falling in the water if you mess up. :0)
Just like Michael, Kyle is personable and easy to work with; his energy is infectious. He does an outstanding job working with our students, making them feel like they can accomplish any obstacle/activity he challenges them with. Also, I like how he relates what they're doing at the arena to life; being a WARRIOR in life by meeting life's challenges head on and never giving up on themselves. I've also had the please of working with Taylor (another Lead Coach). He's wonderful to work with as well.
Therefore, the Warrior Challenge Area gives my students the opportunity to step outside of their comfort zones and accomplish things they never thought they could; a constant message we give to them as they are going through Discovery. In conclusion, I'd certainly recommend the Warrior Challenge Arena to school groups wanting their students to have a fun, engaging, challenging and rewarding experience they will not...
