My son loves it!
My son loves coming to ninjas, this is a great way to help with his strength and fitness, which really helps him playing football too! Would highly recommend
I highly recommend!
Little Ninjas is a fantastic gym for young children. Liam always keeps the sessions fresh by mixing things up each week, which really holds the kids attention. The activities are fun, engaging, and well structured, helping the children build their fitness while also developing social skills and confidence. You can really see how much thought and energy goes into every session. I highly recommended!
Amazing 👌🏻
Behind Bars is great! My son, who is autistic and non-verbal, has been attending for around 3 months. We’ve tried many groups that weren’t SEND-specific and often struggled, but the coach here is patient, kind, and genuinely inclusive. His supportive and understanding approach creates a safe, non-judgmental space where children with SEND can feel comfortable, regulate, and grow in confidence. Watching my son so happy and content doing what he loves has been amazing, and we are so thankful for what he does and what the gym offers . Couldn’t recommend it more!
