MAKE-UP RULES

  1. A maximum of two makeups are permitted per semester.
  2. Makeups are not permitted during the last week of class for course runs. Please do not wait until the last minute and attempt to schedule a make up in week #10.
  3. Makeups must be taken within the semester in which they are missed and do not carry over, nor do they qualify for refunds or credits.
  4. Only one makeup per week is permitted. You may not schedule two makeups in one week.
  5. Make ups are non-transferable and are only valid for the student who was absent.
  6. Drop In Classes are not permitted for makeup classes.

Managing your absences and make-ups is quick and easy through the Customer Portal.?No need to call or email us! Here’s how it works:

Enter absences directly in the portal as soon as you know you’ll miss a class. Once the absence is recorded (either by you or by our coaches taking attendance at the start of class), you can schedule a make-up at your convenience.

1. Log in to your Customer Portal. If you need a password reset, let us know.
2. From your Dashboard, click VIEW (your student).
3. Select ABSENCES.
4. Choose:
* Schedule Absence (for future dates), or
* Schedule Make Up (if the absence is already recorded).
5. If marked “Eligible for Make Up: YES,” click Schedule Make-Up and choose a class that fits your schedule. If no options appear, classes may be full or your ninja is in a special class (Advanced). Email us and we’ll help.

Reminder:
The week before the final class is your last chance to complete a make-up, and it fills up fast. Please don’t wait, and do not book during the final week, as those will be canceled.

Testimonials
Paula D.

My child is growing in confidence and is working on his strength and stamina in a fun, motivating and social atmosphere!

Sarah U.

Wow! By far the best birthday experience my 3 sons ever had. Our instructors were amazing teaching 10 energetic boys! We will definitely be signing up for classes. Great facility too!

Kim K.

We celebrated my daughter’s 10th birthday at NY Ninja Academy. My 12 year old son and his friend joined in the party. Everyone had a wonderful time. The staff was great with the kids. On the way home the 6 kids I had in the car could not stop talking about the instructors and how much fun they had. Highly recommend.

Marlena B.

We love this place. The coaches are fantastic. My kid feels challenged and has learned new skills he can use both inside and out of the gym.

Debra F.

As if by magic, the owner has found a talented/kind group of coaches and staff. Their management of the kiddos during classes is an astonishing mix of teaching through encouragement, support and persistence. They never let a kid get discouraged – in fact, making sure every kid walks out of class with their head held high seems to be the priority.

Emma C.

Fun and engaging for kids and adults! Warped walls, balance obstacles, and a million other challenging stations to conquer! Like nothing else in the city!

Chris L.

This was a blast! My kids took part in an introductory Drop In class and loved it! Instructors were attentive, knowledgeable, and patient. Stressing safety and inclusion, my kids came away from this feeling empowered, and begging to come back.

James G.

The customer service is INCREDIBLE! Both via email with reservations and reschedulings, and the coaches are so nice! Great place to have a birthday party, even for adults!

Bryan J.

I love this place! I live close by so it kind of feels like a second home to me. Thank you guys for the good vibes and awesome obstacle courses. I highly recommend training here.

Holly V.

My son competes in the World Ninja League and NYC Ninja Academy is one of THE BEST gyms on the circuit! The gym, equipment, and amazing staff make this a favorite location to visit and definitely a highlight of our season!! If you haven’t been there you should check it out, you won’t be disappointed.
