Your First Visit

What to Expect

Here's exactly how your first visit works so you show up confident.

01

No Experience Needed

You don't need pull-ups, gymnastics, or any prior training. Our Pinnacle progression system will get you your goal/s.

02

Wear Athletic Clothes

Comfortable, flexible clothing. Closed toe shoes (Rubber bottom shoes). Leave jewelry off the course.

03

Arrive Early

Give yourself 10–15 minutes before your first class to get signed in, complete your waiver, and meet your coach.

04

Listen, Then Move

Your coach will walk you through technique before you touch anything.

Fundamentals

Core Skills Every Ninja Needs

These six movement foundations cover 80% of what you'll encounter on any ninja course. Master these and you can handle almost anything.

01

Grip & Hang

The foundation of everything. Learn dead hang technique, active shoulder engagement, and how to build grip endurance safely.

02

Lache

Generating swing momentum and releasing at the right time. The core skill behind most upper body obstacles.

03

Jumping & Landing

Controlled takeoffs and safe landings protect your joints and set up your next move. Precision matters more than distance.

04

Body Control

Core tension, balance, and spatial awareness. Being able to control your body through dynamic movements is what separates good athletes from great ones.

05

Upper Body Pulling

Pull-up strength, muscle-ups, and rows are the raw fuel for ninja. We build this progressively — no pull-up required to start.

06

Obstacle Strategy

Every obstacle has an optimal technique. We teach you to read obstacles before you touch them so you solve with your brain first.

Train at Home

Build a Home Rig

You don't need a full course to improve between sessions. A basic home rig — even just a pull-up bar and a few obstacles — can accelerate your progress dramatically.

  • Start with a solid pull-up bar for grip and hang work
  • Add a set of gymnastics rings for strength + body control
  • Simple salmon ladder rungs can be made from 2x4s
  • A pegboard is one of the highest ROI training tools available
  • Budget builds start under $200 — full rigs under $1,000

Our full home rig build guide video is coming to YouTube soon.
