Reviews of Ninja Park (Gym)

Anney Snyder

My two daughters attended summer camp and had an absolutely wonderful time! the staff was highly communicative and helpful!

Christin Bogue

My son loves this gym. Staff is always friendly and willing to go out of their way to help. Coach Joe is amazing with the children.

River Ludington

The reviews for this place are a little short, and I would like to offer a more detailed description of my experiences at Ninja Park for those who are considering purchasing memberships for themselves or their kids. I started at Ninja Park with their 7-week transformation and I am glad to never go back to another generic gym, training the same routine, walking in and out with headphones in, staring at people who could lift a car but were short on breath walking up the stairs. When I first walked in, I immediately saw the appeal for kids. It is the ultimate playground, and you learn quickly that kids are the absolute best at the obstacles. However, what wasn't immediately apparent, was how great this place is for adults. If you get the chance to meet Garrett or Jessica (The owners), you will see that this place is local, homegrown, and perhaps the BEST gym for functional fitness. You do not have to be a ninja. You do not have to love the show Ninja Warrior. But you absolutely will learn full-body control, and get fit doing it. Seriously. Their fitness classes are for everyone. That includes people trying to do their first workouts in years, as well as parkour ninjas. But here is the trick. You have to talk. You have to open up. And you have to realize that the TAK fit classes are optimized in a way that no online workout routine could ever be. That is because every workout is meant to fit you, with progressions varying with your skill level. Doing fitness classes here is really really important. Don't get me wrong, sometimes I skip classes and do my own workouts. But more and more, they feel lonely, and I don't have the rest of my group to hold me accountable. These classes are what teach you how to make this purple and green Home-Depot constructed extravaganza a serious gym to grow. Lastly, to hit the point we all care about more than we wish we did. This place is for the person who wishes they were more muscular. This place is for the person who wishes they could lose a few pounds. Unlike the endless dread of a treadmill, or the cardio-less lifting routine with a 4,000 calorie diet, this place offers something truly unique. It comes from the obstacles. When you finally accomplish an obstacle, it isn't like losing a pound or lifting 5 more. It is far, far more rewarding than that, and you begin to love yourself and have confidence in yourself in a way that other workouts won't make you. This place is a cure for vanity, and a breeding ground for self-love. If you don't believe me, look at the weight scale in the bathroom, and the comments tagged all over it. When you come here and get fully immersed, your interests in changing the way you look blur. Then, one day you look in the mirror and realize that you are happy, you are confident, and that you just so happen to also look like a ninja.

Lots of fun

Hollowell Sensei

Great American Ninja Warrior training facility! They have most of the obstacles on the show. Plenty to train your strength, agility, and endurance.

tyra montoya

Albuquerque needs more for the kids of all ages todo. The reason why I did only give 3 stars is the prices.

Joseph Fleming

My son loves to go to Ninja Park. He has a blast everytime he goes even though it's a hard, but fun workout. The staff is nice and friendly. The gym is well maintained and clean.

Heber Barrios

Very good place

Jessica Foster

Ninja park exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed the summer camp and will be going back as much as possible. The owner is an amazing athlete and inspires my son to do his best.

Valencia Ashe

My husband and I had a great time at the Ninja Park. It was the first time we'd ever been there and it was awesome! Would definitely recommend it to anyone seeking athletic adventure!

Joel Adkins

This is my favorite gym. They have everything you need to progress your goals. Weight room, tire flipping, training devices for balance, rock climbing, and plenty of equipment at their disposal ranging from resistance bands, to BOSUs. They give you a wide array of grip training with their many grip shapes (cylinder, sphere, etc) of any volume or size (narrow, thick, etc.) and textures (smooth or rough surface). They run some interesting and challenging classes and the staff is very helpful. The staff is encouraging and friendly; they're eager to help coach you on your technique and see you succeed.

Kenneth Pintor

Such a great unique challenging experience. Great instructors and great vibes, worth checking out if you're looking for a fun different workout.

Alice Seeley

The coach for Level 1 is so harsh with the kids. He could benefit from sensitivity training.

Payton Hanna

I very much enjoyed my first experiences at Ninja Park. The satff were very kind and helpful, the programs are all-inclusive and perfect for anybody, and the facility is absolutely incredible. I would definitely recommend Ninja Park.

S D

Ninja Park is the best! The trainers are very knowledgeable and the classes are great. It is the perfect place to get stronger and healthier while having fun. We love the personal training, kids' classes, adult classes, and open gym times. There are so many obstacles and activities that we always have new things to try. The trainers and coaches are wonderful people and amazing athletes. We could not be happier and highly recommend Ninja Park to people of all ages!

Cool place

Madeleine Hallahan

This place was so much fun I went on a few of the obstacles myself and I very much enjoyed it!

Isaac Gurule

Clean, fun and the coaches are very helpful! You will have fun and enjoy exercising.the owners seem young but very wise and knowledgeable. They will answer any questions and help you reach your goals. Highly recommended

Andrew Nigaton

The obstacles are okay. However the gym was very smelly.

Yu Shao

It is pretty fun, but also very intense. The instructors are very friendly and fit. first time visit is free, so everyone can try it out. Remember to bring a lot of water, the place can get hot.

Timothy Mortimer

This is the perfect place for any fitness level and any age.

Kevin Klein

If you want a different but killer workout, make sure and head to Ninja Park. This place tore me up! I was sore for a week. It is a fun way to change up your workout routine. All the obstacles are challenging.

onthegomomma appletribe

Our son is a sixteen year old with autism. The supportive atmosphere, combined with obstacles that offer progressive difficulty and skill levels at Ninja Park immediately appealed to him. He now trains twice a week at Ninja Park and has benefited greatly, not only in physical development and strength, but more importantly he gains confidence in his abilities to tackle everyday challenges with a measured, graduated approach that lowers his anxiety and builds his confidence. Garret’s training has molded Dylan into a lean, strong young man who feels better about himself.

Yasser Marquez

This place was horrible. Dirty smells. The trainer we had seem like she was 16 years old. It was my son's first time and guess what? He got hurt. Knee injury. I will never go back. Too bad, he was really excited about it, not what we thought it was.

Reece Killebrew

If I had the opportunity to give negative stars, I would. We had an absolute horrible experience last Friday night. It was my son's 8th birthday party and my wife and son left crying. We should have backed out 3 weeks before when we had yet to receive any contact from Ninja Park nor had we received the email invites. It was only after we went over there that we realized all of our contact information was incorrect and they had no idea about our upcoming party. Then, we were supposed to receive a confirmation call for the head count and it never occurred. We called the day before and the employee that answered the phone said they didn't do parties on Friday nights and suggested we had the wrong location. The next day, the day of the party, we called to speak to a manager. They confirmed the party and we gave a final headcount of 20 people and ordered an extra pizza. When we arrived the night of the party, we were greeted by rude and snappy staff. They were understaffed for the party with 1 employee giving directions to the children. This was a birthday party for an 8 year old, so naturally the kids were excited and rambunctious. The coach at the beginning was yelling at the kids, threatening to sit them out before instructing them on their expectations and obviously flustered. When we made a complaint at the front desk, they immediately pulled her out of the party, but they were so understaffed that they had to put her back in. During the obstacle course, the rudeness continued and the female the jumped in had to leave, so we were stuck with the rude coach. At 8:45 PM, we were told that the pizza was going to be late because they forgot to order it. We were then put in an extremely hot room with no air conditioning for the pizza party. At the end of the party, when we had to cash out, the coaches apologized, admitting they were flustered, told us they were only "summer hires", they had never worked a party that big and said they were booked last minute. They did not charge us for the extra pizza nor did they charge us for the extra five kids. We told them we would call and speak with a manager on Monday because we just wanted to get out of there. On Monday, we spoke with Jessica (the manager) to discuss our experience. She told us that the coach had called her the next day and admitted that the party was a disaster. She admitted they were understaffed and said 3 people should have been assigned to that party. She said she would have the owner call us no later than Wednesday for an in-person meeting. Wednesday came and went without a call. I called on Wednesday night and left a message with the front desk, but still did not receive a call. I called again Friday morning, left a message and then finally called again Friday night. On Friday night, Jessica said we would have to wait 2 weeks so she can investigate what happened leading up to the party. She said that she felt 1 free pizza and 5 free kids would more than safice. Basically, I feel that they should have reimbursed us for the party and personally called us to apologize for the horrible experience. I have been to Ninja Core for a birthday party and it was completely satisfied with the customer experience. I HIGHLY discourage you all from giving Ninja Park any business. If you are looking for a pleasant experience, visit Ninja Core. Thank you for listening to me vent. Reece

Crystal Flores

Fun place for u and the kids

Kip

My Grandchildren had a great time!

SouthWest Insane!

Very fun kids enjoy it

Stephonáe Nelson

Best gym I've ever been to. I highly recommend this place!!!

allyson Galban

A great place, this place is fun!

Cole Brinkley

Amazing obstacles and outstanding staff. Try a family class on Saturday afternoon.

Diego Ortiz

Wow! What a great place for your child to have a blast, gain strength, gain self confidence, all while being coached by happy, energetic, thoughtful coaches! There is no better value either, anywhere. Without being a commercial for Ninja Park, all I can say is come check it out, it's awesome! Also great for adults, membership is very reasonable, the people that work out are there to work out and learn, not a meat market. I can't say enough good things about Ninja Park.

Bobbie marcum

Our experience was unpleasant. The staff was not well trained nor were they prepared for the birthday party we attended. They were rude to the children, yelled at them several times, and were obviously frustrated within the first 5 minutes. The coach to child ratio was less than adequate. Also, this facility is not family friendly. It is dirty, hot and there are not many places for parents or younger siblings to sit while waiting.

David Price

I haven't been to any other ninja gyms so I can't really compare, but they've got a large variety of obstacles that represent pretty much everything I've seen on the show, laid out so you can flow between them and not have to worry about colliding with anyone on other obstacles. I try and stop by when I am in town with some time to kill.

Jessica Bohnhoff

My daughter has been going here for over a year and loving every second of it so I finally decided to take the plunge and try it myself. I've been doing the 7 week challenge at Ninja Park and I'm loving it! Everyone is so encouraging! I'm a slightly larger woman who is very out of shape and boy was I intimidated entering the gym and seeing everyone in such tip top shape. Everyone (employees and members) are so kind and encouraging with a zero judgement feeling. the coaches are great at modifying obstacles to help me be successful and gain ability, and everyone celebrates the big (and little) victories. I'm so happy I finally tried this place out!

Kody Audette-Ingbretson

Fun place to challenge yourself physically.

Ms. Rose Adagìo

A+ experience!!! Totally returning soon...

Katherine Latimer

Amazing place for your kids to grow!!!!! Love the staff and the environent!!!

Benjamin Wasserott

Fun place to play with your upper body muscles. A lot unique equipment and jungle gym like exercise walls. However I do caution those that ARE in shape and have never been to a Ninja before: these activities are dangerous and falling and hurting yourself is a likely scenario without training. Except for two instances the staff seemed to care less if my group did or did not use the equipment correctly or safely. On top of this the workout equipment is squeezed into tight spaces throughout the building making an accidental fall possibly really bad. Hurting my shoulder at the Ninja gym put me out of commission from rock climbing and other exercise etc for almost 6 weeks.

Juan C Hernandez

Good for kids and adults exercise.

Andrea Schoeny

My husband and I became members the first night we tried it in fall 2016. Thanks for the great intro, Charles! We took the plunge on personal training for 2017 and absolutely love working with Leigha. She is fun, focused, and that little push we need to stay motivated. We love learning new techniques for building up skills and strength for the obstacles. A bonus is that Leigha is not afraid to learn from us, too. My husband is a physical therapist and I am an occupational therapist; Leigha is always open to feedback based on what we know about the human body. Overall, we are pleased with the programs Ninja Park has to offer. I am always recommending it to my pediatric clients' families, especially for those kiddos who just need extra heavy work and routine to get them "just right."

Jackie Apodaca

My son loves it there and Charles the teacher is great. Although I only gave it 3 stars because I know there are somethings that they need to improve on. The first item is that they let the kids play on the equipment when an instructor is not in the room. Secondly, they do not have enough floor padding or none at all in some areas. Thirdly, some of their activities are no good for anybody, such as, hopping on very small foam blocks where I saw numerous kids turn their ankles. Lastly, walking in and out of there is too easy and I would not feel comfortable leaving my child there without my direct supervision, even for 10 minutes as they might get hurt due to lack of teachers. The ratio to kid is too high! Sometimes 14 to 1 in all different areas of the gym.

Andy Bullerwell

Friendly staff. Neat place to train for you to be ....the next American ninja warrior!

Janette

Fun place for kids and adults

Keaton Duncan

Great classes! Love the workouts everyone is helpful, friendly, and always pushing each other to improve and achieve their goals.

KittyKarnov

My grandson had the most fantastic trainer at this facility. His name is Travis York. He was ALWAYS enthusiastic and possessed the most patience I have ever witnessed in someone who deals with children! My grandson always looked forward to his weekly lessons at this facility. It is surely worth the money!

DeAnn Gonzales

By far, the best workout I've ever had here. Love this place and fun for the kiddos too. Lots of class options and levels. James is an awesome trainer.

Stephan Gaeth

what an awesome obstacle base gym. they have a wide range of classes to offer, day and night with great instructors. adults and kids alike will really enjoy this space.

Dirty Orange Cup Adventures

'Oly Moly this place is amazing. It was my first introduction to the concept of ninja gyms and was sooo fun. For whatever reason it just makes you want to do better. Perhaps because it's more...dynamic that normal gyms? I'm not sure, but it's honestly amazing what people can do after some time training at these places.

Santiago Garcia

Albuquerque's ANW training grounds... What a fun experience! The staff is so accepting and friendly. My wife and I look forward to returning anytime we can get down from Santa Fe. I only wish they had more locations.

Eric Atencio

I loved Ninja Park! Great price for personal training, they keep you working hard, and don't give up on your personal goals. I'm just sad that I am leaving the state otherwise I would be going back!

William Schuh

Great place to learn in a judgment free atmosphere. All age, awesome place to come learn and compete, to be that ninja warrior that you have inside, from beginning to American Ninja Warrior.

Fiesta Project

The Ninjas were Fantastic! We had almost 100 children to teens and the guys worked wonderfully with everyone! The kids had a great time! They went home and told their parents what a great time they had and they are real Ninjas! They were positive and helpful. We have used them 2 years in a row for our events and we will hire them again! They are true professionals and work excellent with kids of all ages!

Paula Gonzales

I took my kids here for a trial class. They were lectured and ridiculed by the instructor. My son was lectured because he had trouble with an obstacle. It was his first time trying it! Of course he might have trouble with it! The lecture held up the entire line of kids until they were all standing there watching my son get lectured and listening to every word. He was thoroughly embarrassed. My daughter was made to do pushups in front of the entire class because she couldn't yell as loud as the other kids, even though she did fantastic on the obstacles. Who cares how loud she yells, she has a soft voice! I have never seen a children's class run as poorly as this instructor did. If you try it, be sure to stay far away from Kal-el as the instructor. He will yell at the kids, bark instructions, and assume that everyone knows exactly what he wants them to do with little-to-no instruction, whether it is your first day or your 1,000th. I wasn't that impressed with the gym either. There weren't that many obstacles or that much room to work out. I could see where people would be getting in each other's way if it got a little crowded. And the guy sitting at the front desk who spent an entire hour role-playing with stuffed ducks... very unprofessional. Overall just a terrible experience.

Sue Carter

Ninja park is the best place to exercise And body core strength. The staff is awsome, and will help and or train every step of the way. I would recommend Ninja Park to everyone from 3 to 60

David Casaus

What an amazing gym! The facility is awesome for adults and children and the kids classes are great. My son loved it!

Wayne Curry

We went her for a awards banquet. It was so much fun with friendly staff.

Michael Hayward

Great work out, fun environment, and people are super cool! You don't get a work out, let alone the fun out of it too, from any other normal gym. Will be ninja training with these guys for a while to come

Scott Albright

I haven't tried it out myself, but the kids seem to really love it. It's a great way for them to get some indoor exercise, ninja style.

Misti Oracion

So much fun, and an amazing experience for kids! What a fun way to keep healthy! I love how kid friendly they are, very patient and encouraging!

Laurie Bloyer

My son and my students love it here, great park option for cold and hot days.

Jeffrey Davis

Ninja Park offers everthing you may see during televised competitions. They delivered an exceptional experience. Two Thumbs up!! - Planned exercises, massage, cool-down stretching - Gradual progression - Supportive coaching - Strength training - Balance improvement - Ropes AND - " That Wall "

No WhereMan

If you want a great workout that focuses on application, this is the place! If you're a beginner or if you want to train for the show, come and get some training from the best in the business! Very nice people, who are willing to work with you to achieve your goals.

selleccalove

Love Ninja Park! It has a fun, relaxed atmosphere that you want in a gym. The trainers are great and i love how they change out equipment and keep things updated.

Robert Atkinson

Put your body to the test in the ultimate challenge of brains and physical skills. I love the Ninja Park, and would recommend it to people of all ages. Compete against your friends to see who the true ninja in your group really is. -Thanks Ninja Park, y'all are doing amazing things for Albuquerque.

Jennifer Ramo

Everyone is super sweet, but a $300 birthday party and the kids aren't actually allowed on much of the equipment... they spend most of the time stretching etc, Annoying.

Glenn Lucero

Educated and Friendly Staff. Great experience and truly happy customer

Humanist Momma

My son's pediatrician recommend Ninja Park because he has ADHD but is too young for medication imo. We have been going three times a week for two months now, and his teachers and I have noticed a marked improvement. His energy has not diminished, but it is much more focused. He is better at paying attention, staying on task, and changing tasks when needed. The price is reasonable, and his coach is great with the kids. Most importantly, he loves it!

Sarah Hempton

Very cool gym! The staff are really friendly and helpful and the workouts are well crafted. Definitely worth a try!

Ame ga futte chi

Awesome

David

Richard Stebbins

Awesome setup. Great people.

David Gibson

Great staff, fun place for a party.

Andrew John

12 yr old son enjoyed the teen class, worth checking out. Nice, friendly instructors.This is the best parkour type center that I know of in town. It is well run and safe.

Ezekiel z

Kids had a great time. Great leaders

Maria Pumilia

We recently held a birthday party at Ninja Core for my 9 year old daughter and 10 of her closest friends and it was a blast from start to finish. The kids had a GREAT time! The parents had an easy time of it, we got to watch the kids have a super fun time and relax while Ninja Core did the rest - they even busted out the pizzas! They have a well designed party space for the pizza, then cake and presents part, where you are off to the side but can still see all the goings on in the gym. Overall a 10 thumbs up!

Rose or Erik Basarich

Great people! Great times!

Stephen Takach

Tak Fit. The perfect cross of Olympic Weight Lifting and Obstacle Course Training. If you love CrossFit, try Tak Fit!

Shawn Reynolds

Great way to work on any wellness and confidence goals. There are mini successes every single visit and before you know it, you are accomplishing things you never thought possible. All trainers are extremely talented and the entire staff is welcoming and makes it a point to know your name and offer encouragement. Going to Ninja Park is definitely a highpoint in both my and my daughter's day.

Ka Cha

Equipment was ok, came on the free 3 day trial thinking we might have found a fun new place to workout. Immediately met with extremely rude regulars complaining about how our trying out of the equipment was "in the way of their circuit", anytime we tried a route we were met with rude looks (from trainers as well) and comments. Definitely discouraging from ever coming back.

LeRoy Reynolds

Great staff with an unparalleled focus on fitness. They definitely make fitness fun for my 10 year old daughter.

Michael Dunne

Great place. Great facilities. Glad it opened up in Eugene/Springfield!!!

Amanda Lozano

My kids loved it!

Mel Mo

Super fun!! Good work out!!

Karmelo Goedken

Excellent gym, great trainers, clean, well maintained, and the owners are really nice people.

John Brown

Good/hard working/nice/engaging staff and fun classes. Cassie is a favorite for my kids.

C B

Had a blast here.

Anthony Moya

Went to Ninja Park earlier this year for a Yelp event and had a great time. It was great to be able to try the obstacles you see on Ninja Warrior and see how you stack up. Which is poorly most of the time. haha The instructors were very friendly and encouraging. Never once felt like they were judging someone who was out of shape and couldn't complete an obstacle. Everyone at the event was full of smiles the entire time. I have not seen the expanded space but hope to one day soon go again.

Joan Bailey

Great place to get a workout. Was trying them out for my daughter.

M Carter

My 9 year old was a guest at her classmate's birthday party. She will not stop talking about it! Her teacher has planned a class trip here and she is counting down the days! There are ninja kid's classes available on a regular basis. We have not tried them yet, but the instructor for the party was very informative and safety conscience. The kids did a warm-up and did not get involved too quickly.

Nik Berry

I'm a big fan of the show, America Ninja Warrior, and it was so much fun to test my abilities on some of the obstacles. They also have a way cool atmosphere of encouraging each other to overcome and lots of classes and training to improve. I came to just check it out and play but I will definitely be getting a membership.

Sylvana Williams

Fun place to spend with family....

Emily Black

Everyone is really nice and my son loves it.

Aaron Giesler

Fun

V Sandoval

Allie is "the greatest Ninja coach!" She has helPrs our child develop into an all American Albuquerque Ninja!!!! I highly recommend this gym for all ninjas and athletes!

Jamie Butler

Amazing. All 3 of my kids attend classes and love it. The coaches are so good with them. They don't hesitate to put kids in the classes that r appropriate for their skill level regardless of their age. I would recommend giving it a try. First class is free.

David Takach

Ninja Park is my favorite gym!

Andrea Dobyns

great gym for the family!

Marie Holland

I love Ninja Park!!! When I attend classes on a regular basis, I feel great, motivated, strong and I weigh less. I love the family community feel and the support of not only instructors but also members. I have gained new friends and confidence at this amazing fun functional gym!!! So happy to share this so others can have the same great experiences that I have.!!

Samuel Ruiz

Fun and challenging course. Helpful staff.

Elizabeth Johnson

Ninja Park has been life-changing for myself and my daughter. Jessica worked one-on-one with my daughter for several months, helping my daughter to overcome a lifelong disinterest for exercise. She now works out at the gym several times a week and enjoys hiking and walking as a family more than ever. I have been participating in TAK fit classes (and more recently adult parkour) for several months, receiving much help and encouragement from the staff and gym members. Our entire family loves coming to Ninja Park and the membership prices are affordable for our family. I highly suggest checking out this gym.

Claudia Cano

Ninja Park is very different from any gym or workout class I've ever taken. It is both challenging and fun! I've felt welcomed, supported and enjoy the positive environment. Also, everyone that works there is friendly and extremely helpful. Stop by, it's worth it!!!

Salome Honey Bunches

Great environment and staff willing to help push my limits.

gabe m

This place is awsome they have helped someone I know get tons more confident and have shown her that she can do anything she wants. From a 3rd person view u have seen this place change her life.

Nani Steenberg

First timer. Understand that they have to start the class, but I couldn't sign the stupid waiver. By mistake, the first one I signed my name than my kids. So why the second one didn't allow me to sign- the window on their website kept jumping. It's a kids’ place, but they can't go to some areas bc the short lady with black hair was chasing them out and she isn't very friendly. The vibes there aren't very nice & it's not a comfortable environment for us. People working there shall be friendly, easy to talk to, & to learn how to treat people with respect. Probably why it's free classes- they can treat others terrible. I won't bother with people like that. At least, the area is safe - it has a lot of cops & IPS Security’s cars around their place.
