Questions from the troop
What are your gym hours?
Open March through December. Hours vary by season. Monday – Tuesday: 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM (classes & open training). Saturday: 9:00 AM – 5:30 PM (classes, open training & birthday parties). Wednesday – Friday, Sunday: Closed. Closed for general training from the end of Daylight Saving Time (November) through March. We stay open for birthday parties, school's-out day camps, and private events on request.
Do you offer one-on-one training?
Yes. Our coaches offer one-on-one sessions for ninja skills, tumbling, or tricking, tailored to your goals and experience. Sessions are available during open gym or at other times on request.
What if I'm new to ninja?
Every pro was once a beginner. Level 1 classes start with the basics: landing safely, gripping properly, and building momentum. Most obstacles scale — our warped walls come in 10, 12, and 14 ft — and coaches walk you through every move. You don't need to be an athlete to start, just ready to have fun.
What do I need to bring?
Clean, closed-toe athletic sneakers (no muddy soles, cleats, or sandals); comfortable clothes you can move in — long leggings or pants help prevent obstacle burn; a water bottle (we have filling stations); and liquid chalk for open gym (it's provided in classes).
What's at the gym?
A 7,200 sq ft covered, open-air gym in the upper parking lot of the Metro Richmond Zoo with warped walls, professional ninja rigs, a 900 sq ft air track, mini tramps, nets, rings, and ropes. There's no central A/C, but we run high-powered fans and have a dedicated cooling space.
Which class should my child join if they have a birthday during the season?
Placement is based on your child's age on the first day of the season. If space permits and your child is ready, we're happy to discuss moving them up mid-season based on skill.
