NEW - Learning Pod Classes
Beginning in September, 2020 we will be offering private group classes for kids in remote learning groups. Reserve your weekly time for your learning group of up to 8 children. Your group will have the gym to themselves with one or two instructors (depending on group age). These classes are designed to enable groups of children, who are already associating with one another to take full advantage of all of the skill stations, activities and use of equipment.
Pod classes are one hour long. Monthly rate - $640 (up to 8 children)

What USA Ninja Challenge is all About

Social Benefits of Physical Activity
Confidence is key to a good social life; physical activity helps with that. As you become stronger and faster, your self-confidence will grow, you’ll be able to take pride in the physical things you can now do and appreciate the progress you’ve made.
Physical activity can also help your concentration skills, by providing a release valve for stress and pressure and encouraging higher levels of endorphins. If you can concentrate well on important work and social tasks, you’ll be happier overall.
Being social is most enjoyable when you feel good about yourself, have a positive self-image and high self-esteem. Exercise can help with that. By maintaining a healthy weight and an uplifted mood, you’ll feel better about yourself and can engage in social activities fully and frequently.
One of the biggest social benefits of exercise is just that – an improved social life. Especially if you participate in team sports or exercise with a group, you’ll develop greater empathy and social skills. You’ll also make new friends and gain new social outlets.
