THE NINJA QUEST STORY
HOW WE GOT HERE
While researching ways to provide safer, year-round training for our kids (the backyard Ninja course was a bit difficult to maintain during the rainy season), we realized that Seattle is the only major city in the US without a dedicated facility for Ninja training. We quickly generated a business plan, and gathered our life savings, with the vision of bringing the sport of Ninja to Seattle's children.
Safety is paramount — so the majority of our capital was spent on trusses that support 5–6 adults simultaneously, and mats that create a safe place to land. We also required a location that could be accessible year-round, since Ninja competitions aren't limited to a specific season. Our current location is small but mighty, utilizing innovative layouts to make the most of our space.
OUR FACILITY
NINJA HEAVEN
Located in Issaquah, and proudly serving the Eastside and Greater Seattle Metro area, our Ninja Warrior Training facility is a hub of excitement and challenge. With state-of-the-art and continuously-evolving obstacles, we cater to all skill levels and age groups — ensuring each Ninja can push their boundaries. Safety is paramount, with ample mats and padding throughout the facility.
From iconic challenges like the slanted steps, warped wall, and salmon ladder — to the daunting devil steps — our facility is constantly updated to keep pace with the dynamic Ninja scene.
Come join us and unleash your inner Ninja!
