First time warrior in training and had an absolute blast. Always loved watching ninja warrior and always thought of how cool it would be to try the obstacles. Found this place taking to Josh at my local climbing gym. Turns out he happens to be the manager of the gym! Grabbed some friends and set out to the open gym!
All the workers were nice and the facility was clean/well managed!
Josh even gave us tips on obstacles we were struggling with!
Overall had a lot of fun and would definitely come back with some other friends as well!
Shout out to Josh for recommending his gym, I had a ton of fun and I'll be back!

Great place for a birthday party. Took my 7 year old and his friends there. The kids had a blast running around on the large obstacle courses. Also, the staff was super friendly and helpful. They made it super easy to have the party and did all the set up and clean up. Highly recommend for events or just to help burn off some energy. The son was completely exhausted in a good way after the party!

I left a great impression after visiting Ultimate Ninjas North Shore for their Friday camp last week. The kids really enjoyed it and stayed active the whole time. They were signed up for the half-day camp, but I honestly wish I had signed them up for the full day. Even though they were short on staff, one of the coaches, Aly, handled everything well and kept things organized and very professional. At the end, he made sure every child got a prize, which was a nice touch. My 6-year-old and my nephew both had a lot of fun. I would definitely recommend this place to other families. Thank you and keep up the good work!

Highly recommend the Obstacle Course Fusion classes for adults! The coaches at Glenview/North Shore are top tier! Especially Warren (during the week) and Chris for Saturday mornings. It’s a unique workout each time, challenging, and a blast. The coaches spend time helping each athlete meet their specific goals, and everyone is rooting for each other. The North Shore Ninja community at this gym is the best!
We signed our 3-year-old up for the lil’ ninjas 6pm Wednesday class. We were looking for a place that could help our climbing, swinging, tumbling kiddo develop some skills. The facility is amazing and promised to deliver everything we were hoping for. The obstacle courses were excellent.

Unfortunately the class itself left much to be desired. The coaches are not skilled at working with young kids. They frequently took their eyes off the kiddos to talk, didn’t establish or enforce basic safety rules, and quickly talked kids through the obstacles rather than showing them the steps (though Jori, the coach in training, was much better about this).

We were so hopeful that we tried again. Unfortunately the second class was worse. Kids were piling up at different points on the obstacle course (at the top of the slide, at the platform to a swing, etc.) without notice or intervention. This led to our kiddo getting kicked in the face and falling off a platform- an entirely preventable and unnecessary incident.

The front staff person handled the whole situation very well and took our feedback about class management seriously.

Unfortunately the response from the main coach was to handhold the kids through the remaining obstacle course. He held kids to limit their swinging, lifted them to the ground rather than letting them drop, literally removing all the skill building we came to learn.

I shared this all with the head coach who said they’d do better going forward. Unfortunately we won’t be returning but we hope they improve things for future classes.

My kids (6 and 2) are loving ninja at Northshore. The coaches are very fun. They have been here for 3months. My daughter also had her birthday here today. She had so much fun and so did her friends. I love how my kids get their wiggles out, cheer for everyone, and are improving their spatial/body awareness and coordination. Highly recommend and special shout out to Coach Ahli!

We hosted our twin sons' 5th birthday party at Ultimate Ninjas this past weekend and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The Ultimate Ninjas team handled absolutely everything, including room setup and decor, cleanup, guiding the children through the activities, and serving the pizza and cake. It allowed us to take as step back and actually enjoy the celebration alongside our sons. Would definitely recommend!

Had our kiddos birthday here with 30 kids and 20 adults it was great. Enough space for everyone. Everybody loved it and wanted to stay longer! They took care of the set-up and clean-up as well as running the activities. The open gym is great as well.

Great birthday experience. The whole crew made the birthday fun and easy. From the moment we walked in they did the work, organizing gifts, setting up the party room (as well as cleaning it after), and leading the kids through the various courses. A great experience and the kids had a blast.

We owe a lot to Ultimate ninjas. My daughter was born with cerebral palsy and she attended classes there from the age of 3. Her strength, confidence and balance grew exponentially at ninjas. She is in summer camp there now and has a blast. Lizzie is her favorite counselor because she is kind and fun. When I saw my daughter able to climb the big wall, I cried. :)

Our daughter LOVES Ninja camp here! The staff are wonderful and she has a great time everyday. Her favorite coach this time was Lara! We’ll be starting regular classes in the fall too since she hasn’t wanted it to end. Definitely recommend this location!

Our kid LOVES this place! He’s been coming since he was 4. He started in Lil’ Ninjas - when we would send him to the camps at that age, we were clear that he might be too scared for the big kids and they always provided extra attention to the little ones. Our son is now 6 and a half and we signed him up for half-day camps in the summer and our son has requested full day, which tells you how fun it is! We changed half to full and our kid is so happy! He loves the coaches, they are so kind and genuine in helping the kiddos! His faves are “all of them”! Specially he remembers, Ricky, Josh (both of them), Stephanie, Maggie and Laura! Thank you all for making our kid feel so included and giving him such a great time ?

“It’s really fun! And challenging, and I love it!” - my 7yr old son, who is enrolled in weekly classes, on the Elite Team, and has attended full day summer camp this year. He also noted that Coaches Josh and Ricky were his favorite!

Ultimate Ninjas is a great place for children to develop physical skills, release their energy, and enjoy fun climbing and obstacle activities. The staff is engaged and attentive, and the facility is clean and well-maintained. Their classes are excellent for helping kids build strength, coordination, and confidence!
