Awesome facility , awesome staff, awesome concept, awesome experience. As a moderately over protective mom I spent a lot of time with my eyes closed initially but watching them have so much fun I was able to lighten up and enjoy it as much as they did even with an infant on my hip. I’d give it 5 ⭐️

This place is multifuncional wonderful! I have taken a free womens self defense course here the class had participants from girls to elderly women and the instructors were all patient and worked with us each to our own level. To enhance my Flow I started taking Capoiera classes so I could incorporate more ground work and flair to my flow and routines. The instructor after hearing this asked more what kind of moves I'd like to learn and on classes I could attend specially incorporated that into our class. As a gift I started taking two of my roomates children to the gym and to class with me. One of the children has ADHD and the instructors are always patient and kind. The high level of activity really helps him as well. At any street fair or event they go to they are always the most popular attraction. They have come to my events always with great profesionalism and a plan for saftey. The family festival PlayThink is action packed and full of fire and love invites them back every year. I personally reccomend this place for everyone. There is something for each person here from classes, to mats, to parkour course, to open gym, to self defense, to dancing events and birthday parties or just for some child care. This nonprofit community center is here to bring activity back into your life for a more healthy life. All while making themselves affordable to everyone. I run Lex Flow Together and I highly reccomend supporting your community by supporting this non profit. More...

I’ve been coming to Urban Ninja off and on over the last couple of years, mostly to experiment with the unique equipment they have available. I’ve been a self-taught power lifter for several years and an exercise junkie before that. Suffice it to say, I’ve done some damage to my body. Injury after injury has made the gym less about fitness and more about enduring pain. I finally decided to get some help and spoke to Will at Urban Ninja. Will showed immediate interest in my case and seemed genuinely interested in helping me recover from my unhealthy exercise habits while still finding ways for me to stay healthy, active, and tapped into that sense of intensity that I need. After several conversations, it was decided that kickboxing could scratch my itch without the strain that lifting was putting in my body. Will is the real deal and is extremely knowledgeable, accessible, and motivated. The kickboxing, coupled with massage therapy (also provided by Will) seems to be just what the doctor ordered. Not only did Will and Urban Ninja show an interest in helping me become a healthier, happier version of myself, they are also dedicated to helping the community at large learn a love of lifetime fitness. The philosophy of Urban Ninja Project is unmatched by any other gym in town; these folks earnestly want to make the community a better place. I am happy to have found the Urban Ninja Project and have high hopes that I will fix my bad exercise habits and learn a better way to be. More...

So happy to have Derek & the crew here in the Hi Crest / Station neighborhood! Urban Ninja has brought life to a formerly empty space and given our kids a place to hang out and enjoy the fun aspects of physical fitness! For $5 you cannot beat the open gym!!! Here's hoping for many years in your new space!!! More...

Had a great time bringing my little herd to the homeschool open gym time. Had great conversations with the adults around, stayed within arms reach of my toddler which was a great workout for this Momma and watched my other kids have a blast scaling walls, balancing, jumping and testing their physical abilities. Great place for the whole family.

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
We drive our clients and engage them by creating exciting and enjoyable plans, designed to grow the clients goals.
We don't see our job as bullying results, rather we want to inspire each person to learn how to learn and make it fun.
Fun doesn't mean we don't drive hard, make it 110% it means. For us we KNOW you will stick with it if you enjoy it and can afford to keep doing it.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
How do you feel? That is the first and most important step. Not every day will be a grade A day, not even we you are at your most fit. But, can you raise your base level of feeling great? If so, the you are going to find yourself in a future where you have earned the body you need to keep feeling your very best. We love working out, being playful and creating our own adventure. We will never quit so we will achieve our goals.
What do you love most about your job?
Our facility! Its wild ad fun! Smiles through the stress and sweat!
What inspired you to start your own business?
No one is doing what we do. Some try, but the effort and education is more about marketing rather than the real deal Ninja Life. No one is serving with affordability.... Everyone appreciates a great price, we believe it can provide a long relationship wit your fitness. Affordable is important.
Why should our clients choose you?
I have no competitors. This is entirely unique. No one is our competition because we don't see fitness and wellness that way. If what we do excites and works for you, then we are here! If not, we absolutely want you to find the best thing for you. And if we can help you figure that out, then THAT is what we are committed to do.
