This is an assessment session where youth ninja complete their test out to move to the next band/skill level. Assessments are standardized and posted on our website – there are no surprises. Our coaches incorporate the test out criteria during general ninja classes as well as our specialty ninja classes.
Once your ninja feels ready for their next Level UP! assessment, they should enroll and do their best to achieve the next level band. After successfully completing the Level UP! test out for your child’s current level, he or she will trade in their current wristband for the next level wristband. The color of the wristbands will allow them to sign up for the coordinating level of classes going forward. If they do not pass the assessment, the Coach will suggest classes that will focus on the specific area of training needed to be successful at the next Level UP! test out session.

These action-packed classes focus on making fitness fun through ninja warrior training. Your child will navigate through the obstacles they love to watch on American Ninja Warrior while building overall strength, agility, speed, grip strength, and coordination. Classes incorporate a variety of obstacles as well as games and other fitness activities.
Classes are based on skill level (not age). We use a progressive level system called “Level UP!” that children work their way up as they advance in their training. Not only does this ensure youth of similar skill levels are training together in an appropriately challenging environment, it provides achievable and measurable goals to work towards. The five achievable levels are represented by the colors white, yellow, red, green, and black.
Every child receives their Level 1 white wristband after completing Ninja 101 and can enroll in Level 1 Youth Ninja classes or any of our specialty classes.
