How to Add a REAL Ninja Program to Your Gym: Equipment, Coaching, and Proven Strategies
Many gyms offer “ninja” classes built on gymnastics equipment—but families notice the difference, and they often leave for facilities that provide authentic ninja obstacle training. In this session, Christina teaches gym owners and coaches how to build a true ninja program that stands out and outperforms competitors offering gymnastics-based versions.
Attendees will learn how to design a proper ninja space, select essential obstacles, and coach ninja safely and effectively at every level. Christina will walk through how to create a structured curriculum, a level-based advancement system that boosts retention, and class formats any coach can follow confidently.
The session also includes how to prepare athletes for ninja competitions and how to host competitions in-house—an exciting and profitable revenue stream that immediately elevates your program. Taught by a 4-time American Ninja Warrior athlete and successful ninja gym owner, this session gives you the tools, coaching methods, and strategies to launch a strong, credible, and competitive ninja program.
