Welcome to Open Gym!
If you’re reading this, it probably means, you are interested in coming down to visit the Ninja Playground, but you want more information. Because most people will probably visit during one of our open gym sessions, here is an article explaining the in’s and out’s of open gym.
Before we go on, check out our other FAQ’s to get all of your questions answered.
Now, let’s answer your questions.
What Happens During Open Gym?
Open gym is a time when there are no formal classes going on in the Ninja Playground. Essentially anyone who wants to can come train on the equipment. There will always be at least one employee of the Ninja Playground working, but everyone else are generally visitors just like you.
Usually you’ll come in and pay at the front desk. Then you’ll either sign the waiver, or having already done that, you get to go play. You can run and climb on all of the equipment, trying to overcome each obstacle. We have big pads underneath most of them, so don’t be afraid to fall, but make sure to do it safely.

Who Can Come During Open Gym?
The nice part about the open gym hours is that anyone can come. If you are 7 years old and you want to play, great! If you are 60, that’s great too (just be safe on the course). Anyone can come as long as the waiver has been signed and the entrance fee has been paid.
Usually our open gym periods introduce people to the Ninja Playground, and they often come back for a birthday party, Young Single Adult activity, or even a company party.
Do I need to be trained on the equipment?
No one needs to be trained on the equipment to enjoy the Ninja Playground. Simply attempt them and enjoy the playground.
You can ask for tips and tricks from other guests as well as employees if you see them. They might be busy with official Ninja Playground business, so be gracious if they aren’t able to offer help. They’re really nice though so most of the time they’ll help out.

What if I’m Not Skilled?
Don’t worry about skill level. If you want to improve your skill level, check out our classes, and even our private coaching. Otherwise, just come have fun and enjoy the environment. It’s even better if you bring a friend because you can enjoy each others’ triumphs and laugh at your falls.
Hopefully this answered your questions about “Open Gym”. The next step is to try it out! It’s a great place for everyone in the family.


The part about open gym being a time with no formal classes really helps—it sounds perfect for just popping in to train at your own pace. I also appreciate that you explained the check-in process at the front desk, so there are no surprises. By the way, I keep a free short haircut style gallery I like to share: https://shorthaircuts.net/
There's a rhythm to Meowdoku that I love. swipe some Xs, notice a forced cat, place it, then watch the board simplify. It's gentle but still has that 'one more puzzle' pull.
nice
I just read the FAQ about Open Gym at The Ninja Playground, and I liked how it explains that open gym is a time you can just come in, sign a waiver, and play on all the obstacles without a class going on, so beginners and experts can both have fun trying things at their own pace. It reminded me of when I was swamped and had to pay someone to take my online nursing class so I could squeeze in some time to relax and move around after study marathons. Thinking about fun ways to stay active really made me appreciate those playful breaks in the middle of hard work.
