Ninja U - Ninja Warrior Obstacle Training Gym — Local services in Cedar Falls

I don't post many reviews, but I had to comment on my experience at Ninja U. My family took a group of 6 kids ranging in age from 2 to 11 to open gym at Ninja U for part of a birthday celebration. Every one of them had a blast, and we played for almost 3 hours!

There is a really nice variety of apparatus, to support various strength and skill levels... so kids of pretty much any age can find plenty to do, and adults won't get bored either! The staff are really friendly, great with kids, and are very familiar with all the equipment - and they have the fitness level to demonstrate everything, too. But don't be fooled... the staff may be able to make some of the obstacles look easy, but unless you're in better shape than I am, many are incredibly tough. Despite that, most are approachable enough to at least attempt, and I had a lot of fun even on the obstacles I totally failed (like the wingnuts). I'm sure I'll be sore tomorrow, though!

My 9 year old just attended a competition at Ninja U in Cedar Falls. He was extra nervous for this competition because not only did he not have any of his coaches from our home gym attending, but he didn't even have a parent with him; he had traveled from near Chicago with a teammate's family to compete, and he didn't know anyone else there. I was shocked to see, when watching the live stream from the competition, that there was a coach walking the course with him on each of his runs, coaching him every step of the way just as if he was their own. I could hear several other people in the background cheering for him by name and shouting out tips and encouragement as well. All I can say is WOW. The Ninja U staff showed a level of sportsmanship, kindness, and inclusion that you rarely get to see, especially in competitive sports. I wish we lived closer to be able to come here more often, but we will definitely be making a point to try to make it to more competitions here in the future. Thank you for being kind humans and modeling the best way to treat other people for all of...
