Ninja Fitness Academy

Classes Inspired by American Ninja Warrior Junior

Our Ninja Warrior Training, inspired by the popular television shows “American Ninja Warrior” and “American Ninja Warrior Junior,” combines foundational fitness, challenging obstacle courses, and gymnastics techniques to create an exhilarating experience for kids.

Founded by Olympic medalist Dominique Dawes, our academy focuses on fostering a supportive environment where children can build confidence and hone their skills.

Children will begin class with a warm-up, followed by station work that will challenge them to tackle obstacles designed to build strength, enhance flexibility, and improve endurance. Class will wrap up with a few minutes of free play, or a group exercise designed to build teamwork and enhance social interaction.

We proudly serve the Baltimore, Columbia, Clarksburg , and Rockville areas, ensuring that your young ninjas have the opportunity to unleash their inner warrior. Discover how your child can embark on an exciting journey of fitness and fun!
