Ultimate Ninjas Chesterfield — Local services in Chesterfield

I’m writing a detailed review for parents interested in Lil Ninjas: I took my 3 y/o son for a trial class on a Sunday. The building opens at 9am and class was scheduled to start at 9, which confused me a little. We arrived at 9:04 and class was already in full swing (no pun intended! so make sure you’re early/on time). We didn’t get much instruction, just a wrist band and told to join the group (possibly because we were late?). Initially we were placed with “big kids” (4/5 year olds) so my kiddo was overwhelmed and shy- and so was Mom. The teacher picked up on that and was very patient with him and gave him extra attention. He also allowed me to stay nearby. We eventually joined the group of smaller kids which was a much better fit.

I’m giving 5 stars because I was impressed and pleased with the teachers. While young, they were great with the kiddos; patient, attentive, and kept them focused. My son has participated in other activities where the young teachers weren’t as great.

The activities and equipment were age appropriate and clean. Balance beams, soft crash mats, a climbing ramp thing, climbing wall and ropes. The teachers taught my son to hold his arms out “like an airplane” to help balance so they actually do instruct. They took water breaks, stretched, and did a ninja hands in cheer at the end. So while an individual sport, it had a team feel.

The place appeared clean and didn’t have that “gym” smell. I also appreciated that there was no pressure to sign up...

Ultimate Ninjas St. Louis is the place to go if you: Are a parent and want to give your child/children a place to be physically active in a new, exciting and safe way Are an adult and have a desire to challenge yourself Are searching for family fun opportunities that don't involve a screen Are an aspiring Ninja and need to get the feel for obstacles replicating the specs and finish seen on the show

Ultimate Ninjas St. Louis has friendly, knowledgeable and professional staff. The facility is clean, has ample parking and the obstacles are professionally constructed and well maintained.

The aspect I like most about this gym versus other obstacle-focused gyms I've visited is the wide open feel of the space. Ultimate Ninjas St. Louis doesn't feel crowded and hasn't tried to pack too many obstacles into a tiny space, which is something I've experienced at other "Ninja" gyms across the country.

I haven't attended any of the adult or child classes they offer, only the open...

Absolutely the best. That goes for the gyms, the equipment and the trainers/coaches/staff. For kids, in addition to physical fitness it builds confidence, comradery, striving for success, and accepting little failures along the way. My son started for years as a diehard ninja, and then spent more time with baseball and basketball. The skills, strengths and mental confidence he gained at Ninjas put him leaps and bounds ahead of where he would have been. And his friends who continued with Ninjas as their primary sport are crushing it.

For adults, I've been doing Ultifit for quite a while. I'm in my 50's and have never been in better shape. Same thing as the kids - the instructors are awesome at every level. If you're a beginner or a gym rat, they'll tailor the program to what you need. And I've made so many new friends in the classes.

5 stars Ultimate Ninjas - keep up the great work building physical and mental...
