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
Antonio V.

These guys are amazing with kids… patient and caring while being fun and safe all at the same time! Highly recommend.

Tony A

A great place for kids. They balance fun, discipline, mental and physical strength. They teach them to use skill, intelligence and effort to overcome challenges. And while it is about individual achievement, you are not competing with others but only yourself and what you are personally capable of achieving. Everyone is in it together and striving towards the same goals. The various instructors that I have met have been excellent with the children – combining fun, learning, implementing rules, ensuring fairness and being patience while maintaining control.

Sean E

Great gym! Came all the way from Ohio and was worth every mile traveled!

Rick P.

My wife and I visited as drop-ins, and our coach was excellent at explaining the obstacles, giving feedback, and progressions for obstacles we weren’t able to complete. This was NOT an easy course but was fun and challenging. I never realized how scared I’d be of trying the warped wall! Some obstacles are permanent and some rotate out. We don’t live in this area, we were visiting, but we will look forward to returning here!!!

Francine E.

My 16 year old son loves every moment he spends at NYC Ninja. He enjoys all the people and staff. It’s like a family gathering and not like a gym.

Paula D.

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