Reviews of Skyhook Ninja Fitness (Gym)

Melissa Corica

We absolutely recommend Skyhook Ninja Fitness! The gym mirrors the obstacles seen on the American Ninja Warrior TV show, and is perfect for all ages (3 years and up) and skill levels (beginner to pro). The coaches and staff truly take an interest in the members, and have the perfect balance of skill, fun, and discipline. Our family has done classes, open gym, personal training, ninja team, and even a birthday party, and have had great experiences at each. Our active eight year old especially loves it here, and has made this gym his second home. We can't recommend this place enough!

Everything one might need is here!

Skyhook offers a diverse selection of equipment and activities, as well as a fun and supportive atmosphere, to help people of all ages achieve their fitness goals. My youngest child (age 7) wants to be a ninja and Skyhooks coaching is the perfect fit. His strength, abilities and self-confidence have increased significantly since he started training. My oldest child (age 10) just wanted to have fun but has noticed he has more upper body and core strength. It has made him a better athlete overall. I am focused on building my overall strength to keep up with the two boys and prefer more traditional workouts with free weights. I love that I can do that and climb on the rock wall with my boys all in one place.

Great place for all ages 6+

Abner and Flynn Romero Sharp

Most fun workout you will ever have!

Devin Vengley

Amazing for those active kids that never run out of energy.

Megan Lewis

Warped wall is 14.5', but is extremely steep compared to other gyms. Has salmon ladder, devil's staircase, lache bars, a bouldering wall, and more.

My non-athletic loving 12 year old daughter and active 9 year old son started here in May and have loved it. I think they like that there are so many challenges and things to do that they don’t get bored. They can achieve at different rates and it’s okay. The teachers have been nothing short of amazing with them. They push them but also understand that they learn and are active, in different ways. My daughter lets fear get in the way of “just doing it” so the instructors teach her a bit differently than my son who is “all in” and just goes for it. After three months of going month to month, we decided to commit for a year and save a bit. Although school and soccer have started up again, we still get there twice a week and there’s no twisting arms since they enjoy it so much.

When I first started training at skyhook I was as so many others are, a lost gymnast. After being in such a committed sport I didn’t know what to do with myself after I quit. Skyhook gave me a everything I missed from gymnastics and so much more, and the thing is, skyhook is what you make it. It can be serious training or it can be come in and have fun playing on obstacles. Skyhook’s coaches are great at recognizing ones athletic ability to make it challenging for all levels of fitness, by extension, everyone is so nice and always willing to help in the ninja community, it’s a very vocal and giving sport. That’s what really drew me to skyhook and to ninja. 2 years later I work at skyhook and I like to think I’m giving kids that same thing, a place to be athletic while still having fun.

Haven't actually worked out here, but this place is awesome. Our daughter is going to have a birthday party here, which we are all looking forward to.

This place challenges me to push myself every time I come in. If you like the show (American Ninja Warrior), you'll love this place!

Darren Cruickshank

Great locally owned gym! Great layout with lots of ninja warrior style obstacles and equipment.

emmy schoonover

The staff at Skyhook are really engaging and overall just really great coaches. I definitely recommend this place to families looking to challenge themselves and practice their Ninja skills!

Matt Frazer

Very encouraging

Nick Edwards

Great ninja facility with a good amount of bouldering as well. I always enjoy my time spent here.

Joe Skramstad

Awsome. Amazing fun. My daughter loves it and in one month her strength a coordination have really improved. The coaches are pretty amazing too. They have recently added a few more classes for the younger kids which is amazing. The older kids aren't slowed down as much and the little kids (6-8) get even better instruction. I cannot stress enough how much this has helped my daughter develop with strength and agility. In school, my kindergartener can now keep up physically with the third graders. All the coaches are great but Coach River and coach Cody are so encouraging and sweet but also push in a very supportive waym they really get the kids to go out of their comfort zones in a safe and natural way. I've taken my daughter to rock climbing gyms and gymnastics.. she prefers this and has developed faster and has so much more fun. I legit can't say enough good things about this place and I encourage anyone with kids in the area to check it out.

Alex Beliy

Really cool place. Awesome obstacles set up. You could spend hours here but your hands will hurt the next day

Jake Harwood

Derek was a great and knowledgeable ninja host. We had many levels in our intro class and he made sure that we all started at a progression that was challenging and appropriate for each person. Super helpful tips on different obstacles. Awesome gym! Awesome staff! We had a great time.

Bryce Markle-Amaral

All the staff are really fun, connectable, and overall great people. The facility itself is a great space for various skills, ages, and abilities. If you haven't gone, and you're thinking about it, definitely check it out ;)

Lisa Hoxie

Skyhook takes time nurture the whole child. The staff/coaches love helping kids develop grit, resilience, and a passion for healthy living. They offer classes and accomodations for children with special needs.

Israel Del Rio

Fun and different workout and training experience! Love it here

Matt and Barbara Kleinke

The staff is very informative and willing to answer any questions. They take the time to work with individuals when starting out and I see them encouraging the students. Safety is one of their top priorities. If you are looking for a fun place to work out this is it!!!

Cindy Blanco

Cool place but they NEVER answer the phone. I've never been able to reach a live person so I had to drive down there in person. Which was odd because when I got there someone was sitting at the front desk, weird! Cool, place but that part is major pain.

Amanda Foote

Such an enjoyable place! The staff are super friendly and the climbing wall is amazing, such fun and unique sets. Would gladly visit again or take others!

barronandee schader

We love this place!!!! Super friendly and helpful staff. Our kids are 6 and 8 and it’s the first gym where age doesn’t matter and they are challenged with new obstacles every time. It’s an awesome place for stronger than average kids without helicopter parents to get stronger and more confident every week. Kids are way stronger than people think. I love that the open gym times are convenient too. The competitions here are super fun too. It is expensive. I wish there were package deals for two kids or families, but can’t have everything. We feel so lucky to have a ninja gym in Portland. Some kids drive from all over to come.

Nathaneil McDougal

This is an awesome gym for anyone interested in learning to move their body and improve their confidence in themselves and what they're capable of.

Hannah Schultz

I love Skyhook Fitness! By far one of my favorite ninja gyms in the PNW. The trainers are super helpful and motivational. The facility is filled with a variety of obstacles that the staff constantly updates. I always know I have something fun and new to look forward to when I visit. Several times I’ve traveled from Seattle (where I live), just to train here. Definitely stop by when you are in town, it’s well worth the visit!

kevin ray

Our whole family comes to Skyhook and we all love it! The coaches are always super patient with our 3 year old daughter and make classes a fun learning experience. My lady and I like to put in some time on the obstacles, which is basically a playground for us! The coaches are there for us too, giving us fun challenges and helping us push our limits while being super friendly and supportive. With obstacles being added and changed regularly, we can get really creative with our runs. Skyhook Ninja Fitness is definitely a place for the whole family!

ole turley

My wife started here, now our whole family is signed up and we all love it. Definitely worth checking out. -lots of classes -great for kids and adults -knowledgeable coaches -positive environment

Ben Yeh

If you are in the Pacific Northwest and you love Ninja Warrior then this is a must-visit place. Everyone here is super friendly, the equipment accurately mirrors what you'd see on the TV show. There are beginners and pros alike here. Whether you just want a new athletic outlet or you want to get on the show Skyhook will do their best to help you achieve these goals. Bonus: this is also a great bouldering gym. P.S. they helped me compete on the show :)

Jeff Johnson

Can't wait to go back.

Had a lot of fun running around like a ninja.

Skyhook is a great place for the whole family! The entire team is super helpful and welcoming! We love skyhook!

Robin Hankins

This place is more than a business... They are building a stronger community by changing youths lives by effortlessly and selflessly giving out encouragement, compassion, understanding, self esteem, life skills... The list goes on and on.... But maybe I'm biased, and admittedly so, because they have done nothing but good things for my son.... Not only that, but they do this for all the other kids that come through Skyhook doors. It's not even just about what they do for kids or how they treat everyone with respect... They also do a heck of a lot for adults too... The energy they have for their kid classes pours over into their adult classes. Skyhook is more than a gym... They are about improving the health and lives of everyone who comes through their doors with the kind of positive attitude that comes from a pure place in the human heart. My review might be a little long and a year over due, but it comes from an honest place and with gratitude for all the great things Skyhook has done.

Ben Darrow

The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about all things ninja! Love coming here for ninja practice and competions!

Cynthia Santoso

My two kids (6 and 9 yo) love this place. They did their first week trial and tried as many classes as they could. There are a variety of activities - climbing, gymnastics, ninja - their favorite was Parkour. They wanted to continue coming to this place so we decided to become members. The coaches are friendly and seem genuinely interested in their students :)

Thank you to Skyhook for giving my son more confidence and respect! We love the people working with kids here!

Kelly Strasser

My friends and I had a blast and the staff was awesome and very helpful.

Tim Bynum

Excellent Ninja gym with top-notch coaches.

Tristan KJ

Fun, active entertainment for the whole family.

Kristin Keezel

Skyhook is absolutely amazing! The variety of obstacles and classes make for well rounded athletes. The gym is clean and well kept. Staff is top notch! They are always very friendly and helpful, as well as knowledgable about the classes they teach. But what is the most important is the dedication and support they give to the kids. My son struggled at the climbing wall for a long time. Staff were willing to put in time and effort to coach and motivate him to overcome his fears. He gained confidence and strength. They form trusting relationships with my kids, which is so important to me.

Virginia Loomis

Could be clearer that the gym is only for kids over the age of 6. Looks neat, though.

Jeremiah Davies

Skyhook is awesome! It's a great gym with a ton of really cool and fun stuff. Cody and the staff are super dedicated and are super friendly and personable. Just a great place.

Adeline Braun

The staff is very welcoming and the obstacles are super fun. I would definitely recommend to a friend.

Abbie Lehman

My friends love this place and my brother has been asking to go constantly. Best ninja and rock climbing gym in the area!

Jessica OConnor

Super awesome facility and great staff! I would highly recommend going in and trying a class or two. They’re very good at modifying the exercises to whatever your skill level might be. Everybody is very friendly and welcoming!

My name is Caden and I am 9. I LOVE Skyhook!!! All the teachers are amazing and so nice. The equipment is great. It is the perfect training gym. I love the classes and my favorite is open gym so I can do whatever I want

We love Skyhook Ninja Fitness! Our family has been going there since it opened and it is truly a great place with caring coaches. Can’t recommend it enough. Our kids are more confident and healthier due to the exercise and experiences they get from going to this gym. If you are in the area you should stop by and give them a try.

Maria Langbehn

Skyhook has been an amazing ninja gym. My daughter has been obsessed with the show and we stumbled upon this place on what happened to be their anniversary celebration, and have been hooked ever since. She loves her coaches- Mitch, River, Dan, and Abner she raves about constantly and tells everyone she meets all about Skyhook. I have been very impressed with the staff, coaches, and all the athletes we have met there. Thanks for an awesome experience. We look forward to spending more time there!

Mike Schwartz

Great place for the kids and for parties. Loads of fun and staff is great!

Dave Dub

Really great place- climbing wall, trampoline area, parkour, and of course obstacles you might see on American Ninja Warrior. A positive vibe runs through, because it's policy with the staff there. Not cheap, hopefully they can offer scholarships or discounts to families in need at some point. The benefits to self esteem would be great to poor local kids.

Will Dickey

The only way to workout!

Ellisha Tash

Excellent teachers, excellent gym, obstacles change regularly. We love Skyhook!

Stephanie Venturella

EllaKathryn Craig

seemed nice at first and welcoming and then were very rude and apathetic. would never recomend going to this place.

Lerpado

Lots of fun for rookies and experts alike! People of any age can come, have fun, and get a good workout (except for old people I guess).

Justin Puhl

This gym full of amazing people and fun obstacles! Great place to train for all skill levels and ages. If you are looking to become a better and more healthy version of yourself, definitely give this place a try!

Terry Jenkins

Makes fitness fun! Huge climbing wall, trampolines, parkour area, kettlebell and weights area, gymnastics, and all the American Ninja Warrior obstacles. Staff are high energy and helpful. They do kids birthday parties too. Very family oriented. Both kids and adults love it. There are new features and obstacles all the time.

Mayssoun Allahim

Safe and inclusive environment. The whole staff and especially Liam were very friendly and patient with my son . They give a free introduction to all activities can be done . If I lived here , I would sign him up for a long term membership.

Dan D

Held an event there, staff did a great job.

I love going to skyhook ninja fitness if you ever watch America ninja warrior it's just like that it's awesome

Spencer Spetnagel

This is a great and welcoming gym for all ages and fitness levels. Their coaches come from a wide ranging background and make an excellent team to get you in absolutely any type of shape you are looking for. From general fitness and recovery from injuries to pushing yourself in disciplines such as Parkour, Boxing, Gymnastics, and of course Ninja.

Brad Dollar

Be aware of summer classes if your kids are older! We signed our boys up for the morning session which is for ages 5-14. However, it is absolutely tailored for little kids. After you account for arrival and discussion with the kids of the plan for the day there is maybe an hour of activity before there is an hour of mandatory rest. Older kids do not have the option of taking a shorter rest. This is perfect for little kids but for kids like mine that are used to high levels of activity an hour of downtime after such a short period of activity is way too long. This is not explained on any of the material. When you look at the curriculum of the camp which was provided when requested (after we had paid) and subtract out the mandatory breaks there is open gym time and a small sliver of actual coordinated activity for the morning session. When trying to discuss the instructor was very defensive. One of my sons is a member of a Parkour gym and had considered attending Skyhook. That will not be happening and we'll find better uses of our money at other camps. Very disappointed, and they were so excited to come here.

We just celebrated my son's birthday here today and based on our experience I decided to write this review on the same day so that I don't forget to write it (that's how much we loved this place). The experience that Skyhook Ninja provides for anyone, birthday party or just visitor, is exceptional. I have been to many places that have elements of what Skyhook offers (climbing wall, trampolines/jumping areas, or a few of the upper body options) but this is the first place I've been to that combines them all. This alone is a blast for anyone, and especially kids! I was also so impressed by the staff. Shua and (I think Liam) did such an outstanding job of making us feel welcome and keeping the kids engaged and having a blast. Also, this place goes above and beyond for kids with special needs--as we were leaving, they were having an event for dyslexia/kids with dyslexia, and when I told Shua at the beginning of the party that my son has special needs he actually embraced that and made me feel completely welcome. I cannot say enough good things about this place for any kid, and if you are thinking of having a party here you will find a very fun, engaging experience with dynamic instructors! We cannot wait to go back!

Lynn Knope

Lots of personal attention & support for trying new & challenging skills!

Nicholas Flett

Loved my Skyhook experience. Really surprised myself with what I achieved. Hurling myself up walls and swinging between rings. Great experience.

Mark Gabriel

Everyone there was awesome. The gym has a huge sense of community and a welcoming atmosphere for all levels of fitness and Athletic ability. Cody, Joe and everyone was helpful, and want you to succeed at completing the courses. We got a punching pass and will back again soon. One of the best gyms I’ve been to...

Jessie Collins

The owner was very pushy about buying a membership when I just wanted to check out the gym. Will not be returning.

Matt Turner

Love this gym. These guys are great with kids and adults alike.

Breanna O'Connell

Poorly managed facility. The fired their excellent gymnastics instructors without reason and replaced them with non-gymnasts. It is unsafe and irresponsible to have people with next to no gymnastics experience teach such a class. They also failed to inform their regular students of such an abrupt change. There are also many safety concerns with their facility, such as exposed poles (and a metal slide) that are in the path of trampolines, obstacles, and tumbling runs. They lost many long term regular customers due to all this and completely let down their gymnastics team kids.

Tenessa coffman

A truly amazing facility with phenominal staff, I always feel welcome

Tyler Alexander

Great place, tons of obsticles and an awesome bouldering wall

Tricia Knope

A very fun way to get exercise, for kids and adults!

Brigg Wolgamott

Had a great time bouldering the different styles of routes in their facility. Was astounded by what else they had to offer but was too tired from climbing to give it a shot. Quality location indeed.

Shawn Riley

Totally awesome....everyone should try this place..great people and a well constructed facility

Shaybugg TheExtraThicc

Ah, where do I start? The staff is very respectful and continue on trying to motivate you by constantly giving you an extra push here and there, and they give big compliments when you accomplish something, even if it's small. If you feel insecure or doubtful, they give you a pep-talk or tell you about a time they were in your same situation. And they joke around with you as well, they're very funny. The interior itself is crazy. They change the middle training jungle everyday, so that it never gets boring with the same obstacles, and there's a bunch of stuff to mess around with and exercise on. It's actually insane how much stuff they have that all relate to fitness and wacky stuff in general. Its a good gym overall for training for Ninja Warrior and getting fit in general, helps you build your confidence in general as well. I highly recommend it!!

Carly B

This was my first time at a ninja gym and it was awesome! The staff is very nice and helpful when we had questions on how to complete certain obstacles.

Mitch Kutin

I wish Skyhook Ninja Fitness existed when I was younger. I would have trained parkour there, I would have climbed there, I would have trained for American Ninja warrior there, I would have had my birthday there, and I would have been part of the community of enthusiasts who make Skyhook Ninja Fitness Portland's premier Ninja gym. The next best thing to having a Skyhook Ninja Fitness as a kid is to have it now. There are awesome obstacles and bouldering routs which are changed often enough to make sure you never get bored.The staff are knowledgeable, accepting and passionate. The community and coaches encourage growth while being very supportive while students work at their own pace to improve. The whole building seems to be pleasantly governed by safety, covered in pads. I would have less broken bones if I had a place like this when I was younger, but I'll have fewer injuries moving forward because I have it now! In the end, you go to train and end up hanging out for the culture and conversation.

George Mihaly

The space is amazing! The staff is super friendly, skilled, & knowledgable. Climbing walls, tumbling space, trampolines, and all the ninja obstacles you could imagine. A++

Tara Langer

Daughter had not been too interested to attend a camp but after the first day she couldn't wait to go back. She has signed up for team tryouts too.

Alan Bates

Kids love this place.

Vu Nguyen

This review is long over due. I have been training at Skyhook Ninja Fitness since it opened in 2017... Skyhook Ninja Fitness is hands down the best Ninja Gym in the Portland Oregon area. The offer a variety of training including Parkour, Gymnastics, Bouldering, Obstacle training, Aerial silks, trampolines. And they offer classes for all ages and abilities. They promote a fun, family, functional fitness culture so often times when my son/daughter is in a class I am also training in another class or working out in open gym time. After class is over my kids usually want to stay for open gym to get more practice time or training in. Its hard to get them to leave sometimes. :) The coaches doing a great job with the classes and have an excellent Ninja Team program where they have had several nationally recognized athletes at various Ninja Warrior League competitions. They hold competitions every few months which are exciting times to meet other like minded Ninjathletes. Have this place in Portland has been instrumental in helping me get ready for all my competitions the past couple years. (Ninja Warrior, UNAA, NNL, Spartan Races) Even if you don't want to compete in these competitions it is great place to train and get exercise. The diversity of training keeps exercise interesting and "not boring". The facility also has great personal trainers. Israel is one of the best Ninja Coaches around and recently competed on American Ninja Warrior. I like the fact that the facility continues to evolve and improve its class offerings and services. The climbing routes and obstacles also get changed out regularly to keep things fresh and challenging. Skyhook Ninja Fitness also does great birthday parties and summer camps. My kids have experienced both and always have had a great time. They keep the kids moving and active and having fun. I would highly recommend giving Skyhook Ninja Fitness a try if you looking for a fun family fitness environment. The variety of training will keep fitness fun, interesting, and diverse. Ninja Vu
