Hi there! My name is Abner and I’m a Certified Personal Trainer at Skyhook Ninja Fitness.
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and have been fascinated with human anatomy and physiology for as long as I can remember. I was introduced to resistance training at an early age, and it has since grown into both a passion and a profession for me. I now specialize in helping people manage chronic pain by correcting postural deviations, muscular imbalances, and movement patterns.
In the 5+ years I have worked as a personal trainer and fitness coach, I’ve had the opportunity to work with people from all walks of life and conditioning levels, including children developing gross and fine motor skills, deconditioned and/or overweight adults dealing with chronic pain, elderly clients interested in increasing their mobility and maintaining their independence, neurodiverse children and adolescents, and high level athletes working on refining their Ninja skills to gain a competitive edge, among many others.
During my time as a Skyhook coach I also became proficient at obstacle course training, gymnastics, parkour, and rock climbing - the main components of Ninja. In 2020 I served as assistant coach for Skyhook’s competitive Ninja Team, and then moved up to head coach for the 2021 season, when I led over 20 young athletes to the UNAA World Finals in Las Vegas.
So whether you’re interested in improving your overall health and wellbeing, managing weight, building strength, or taking your Ninja skills to the next level, I would be thrilled to help you reach your goals!
Hi, my name is Oscar! I am the head coach at Skyhook, and I am a NASM Certified Personal Trainer.
My Athletic background starts at a young age being involved in various sports ranging from baseball, football, soccer, golf, skiing, kayaking, cross country, and ultimate frisbee. Having a diverse experience such as this makes me a valuable asset to assist you and/or your children reach their potential within any sport they participate in. My journey to the sport that is Ninja Warrior began through my personal training under the now CEO of Skyhook Cody Knope-Jenkins, back when Skyhook was just an idea in the back of his head. In 2017, I became a coach at Skyhook, a certified WFPF parkour instructor, and developed the fundamentals of teaching gymnastics, climbing, and ninja. Climbing grew to become one of my biggest passions and the primary focus of the majority of my training to date.
I’ve competed within the sport of ninja in the UNAA (ultimate ninja athlete association) and finished 60th in the world in 2021. I know what strengths to develop to dominate competitions that will play into getting on the show ANW (American Ninja Warrior). Utilizing my experience and knowledge within my background will help you excel in any sport you desire to improve in.
I love working with kids, teens and adults who enjoying working hard and aim to help you achieve your goals!
Hi there! My name is Greg and I’m one of the coaches, assistant manager, and one of the awesome Personal Trainers here at Skyhook Ninja Fitness.
My passion for fitness and health started at the age of 20. Prior to consistent exercise, I had a weak and frail body that couldn’t do much and had experienced injuries on a regular basis. In an effort to build a stronger, more confident sense of self, I knew something had to change. I’ve spent the majority of my career in the fitness industry absorbing knowledge in order to improve myself physically. Now, I get to share that knowledge and help other people like you improve both physically and mentally.
If you want to work on strength & conditioning, bodybuilding, weight loss, and learning the foundations of fitness that others don’t know and/or are misinformed about that can lead to injuries. Coaching here at Skyhook has granted me the opportunity to not only assist adults but also kids/teens who are aiming to achieve their goals whether within the sport of Ninja or within any physical activity outside of Skyhook.
I firmly believe that everyone has the potential to create a better version of themselves in the most realistic way possible and I am here to get you there. Let's get to work!
Hello! My name is Matthew and I’m an ACE Certified Personal Trainer here at Skyhook Ninja Fitness!
I began my fitness journey about 4 years ago when my son was born. I realized that I wasn’t in the best shape and that I needed to increase my energy and strength to be able to chase after a rambunctious toddler.
Along with my desire to be an active father, my own childhood passion for ninja warrior was rekindled and I began training. I love many different forms of physical activities including ninja, parkour, bouldering, circus, boxing, kickboxing, tennis and cross training and bodybuilding. I became an ACE certified personal trainer in early 2021 so that I can provide knowledge to others that want to move pain free and with ease.
Whether you are just beginning your own fitness journey or looking to improve upon your fitness foundation, I will help you achieve your goals. I love working with adults who want to move and be able to do the fun things we have here, but don't think they can. I love seeing that moment when clients go from I want to, but don't think I can, too I can do this is a magical moment!
No matter where you are on your fitness journey, don't hesitate to talk to the front desk and get a session scheduled with me, I would be honored to help you take the first steps towards health and happiness. For yourself and for your family.
I’m an active person who enjoys sports and movement hobbies. After completing high school, I decided to pursue becoming a personal trainer. This career ignites my passion and allows me to make a positive difference in people’s lives, which is why I plan on doing this for the rest of my life.
If you are looking to move better or be pain free, I am the trainer for you! Over my 4 years as a trainer, I’ve come to specialize in movement. Movement comes into play not just in terms of athletic development, but also in pain management, injury prevention/rehab, and for improving overall flexibility and mobility. If you want to move better so that you can do more of the things you enjoy, I've spent my time learning how to help you do just that at Skyhook. I’ll help you build up skills, improve your capability, and overcome the things holding you back! You can learn how to do any movement skills you want--except flying. I may be good, but I’m not that good.
I’m always happy to answer any questions about movement, joint health, biomechanics, pain management, really anything related to fitness or training. So when you see me in the gym, please don’t hesitate to say hi and ask away. I love helping people and sharing the knowledge I’ve gained and want to do whatever I can to help you be the best version of yourself you can be.
