Ninja Classes

At Head Over Heels, ninjas of every age can find their place:

Baby Ninja (18–36 months): Intro to movement, balance, and play.

NinjaZone (5–7 years, 8–11 years, 12–14 years): Progressive challenges that grow with your child, from beginner moves to advanced ninja training.

What Makes Ninja Zone Unique?

Our classes are about so much more than fitness. Ninjas train on:

A state-of-the-art ninja rig

Warped walls

Trampolines

Obstacle courses and challenges

Every ninja progresses at their own pace, free from the pressure of traditional team sports. Along the way, they:

Tackle fears and build resilience

Boost self-esteem and confidence

Develop character, focus, and grit

Experience the joy of achievement

It’s a fast paced world out there and the pressure to keep up can feel nearly impossible. Now more than ever, it’s extremely important to prioritize your child’s mental health and overall well being. While many activities can contribute to a child's physical fitness, few offer the comprehensive mental and emotional benefits found at NinjaZone. We’re going to explore how NinjaZone's unique approach to training can positively impact your child's life for years to come.

Did you know? Anxiety affects 9.4% of children aged 3-17 years in the US. (www.cdc.gov)

Let’s get into it…

1. Confidence and Self-Esteem - In NinjaZone, their confidence is #1. The structured challenges encourage kids to set goals, work hard to achieve them, and celebrate their successes! This process helps foster a positive self-image and boosts self-esteem. It let’s them know that they can do hard things!

2. Stress and Anxiety - Being active is a proven way to reduce stress and anxiety. NinjaZone's dynamic and engaging curriculum helps release all the endorphins, aka, our natural mood lifters! The focus required in training also provides a healthy distraction from daily worries and pressures, promoting a sense of calm and balance. Zen, baby!

3. Focus and Concentration - Learning and mastering ninja skills requires ninjas to concentrate and really pay attention to details. This improved focus not only helps them in their training but also translates to better concentration in school and other areas of life! Enhancing cognitive function in this way supports overall mental sharpness and can lead to excelling in academics! That’s an A+ to us.

4. Resilience and Perseverance - Learning to face challenges head-on and push through when things get tough is a core part of NinjaZone. Ninjas learn that failure is just a step toward success. As you can imagine, fostering resilience and perseverance is crucial for mental health. It’s what helps kids handle setbacks with a positive and determined mindset.

5. Social Skills and Community - Ninjas interact with peers & coaches, build friendships, and learn the importance of teamwork and mutual support–creating their own community. These positive social interactions enhance their sense of belonging and improve their overall social skills.

6. Positive Mindset - The supportive and encouraging environment will help promote a growth mindset. Ninjas learn to view challenges as opportunities for growth rather than obstacles. Kind of ironic, but pretty sweet nonetheless. This positive approach to learning can significantly boost their mental well-being and create a more positive outlook on life.

7. Accomplishment - Every milestone achieved, whether it's mastering a sick new ninja move or completing a challenging obstacle course, gives ninjas a profound sense of accomplishment. This not only boosts their confidence but also imparts progress and success, reinforcing their motivation and self-worth. Ninja Missions set the stage for this!

8. Mind-Body Connection - Creating a connection between mind and body allows kids to learn to control their movements, improve their balance, and understand their physical capabilities. This awareness can improve mindfulness and overall mental clarity.
