FAQ

If you’re new to Skyhook, start with our First Visit page. We’ll help you choose the right class or experience based on age, experience, and what you’re looking for.

Everyone in the gym needs a signed waiver, including parents who aren’t using the obstacles. Before your first Open Gym, book a quick 10–15 minute intro where our staff show you the equipment and safety rules. After that, adults and green belts and up can drop in anytime, while newer kids have set Open Gym hours.

All are welcome! We offer classes for a variety of ages:

Bridge Program (5-8yo) - Perfect for those kids that age out of the Little ninja program but aren’t quite developed enough to find success in the big kid classes

Parkour/Ninja/Climbing/Aerial Silks (6yo+) - These are our main classes focused on skill progression, available to kids 6+

They are our ninja belts, the class leveling system our ninjas go through as they train at Skyhook. You get your white belt once you are enrolled in a class taking membership! These function similar to Martial Arts belts, giving kids a sense of progression that will help them engaged in their time at skyhook. Some obstacles and classes are belt restricted in order to ensure the safety of all participants.

To start off it is a great idea to take at least one class in each of the disciplines to get a feel for them all and see if one grabs your child’s attention the most.

The belting system we employ asks students to show skills in climbing, parkour, and ninja. If they are able to demonstrate the skills required for their belt level they will receive a tape. This will indicate mastery of the skills of the discipline for their current belt level. This can help you pick a class for your child that will help their progression through the belting system.

Yes, we have trainers that can help you improve any area of fitness or skill that we offer.

We have a 800 square feet space dedicated to fitness, with weights, a squat rack, cardio equipment, and much more. You will need a membership in order to use the facility however.

Parkour: This is the art of moving your body through an environment as interestingly as possible using running, jumping, climbing, and vaulting over and around obstacles and bars.

Bouldering: Bouldering is a sub discipline of rock climbing that does not involve ropes but rather climbing over padding. Unlike most climbing gyms we design our climbing routes for kids so they are able to find success.

Ninja: Much like the show Ninja Warrior these are primarily upper body obstacles with lots of swinging, jumping, lacheing, and, climbing on things.  

Silks: Circus arts aerial silks classes. Learn how to perform silks technique with fluidity and a smooth flow of motion. Some climbing and ninja classes recommended first to demonstrate the strength required for silks.

Little Ninja: Our 3-5 year old classes focus on body awareness and coordination and involve soft obstacle courses and guided experiences on the parkour floor and in the climbing area

Bridge Program: This class for 5-8 year olds is for those who have ages out of little ninjas but are not quite developmentally ready the normal 6+ year old classes

Adults are welcome to be in classes but you certainly don’t have to be. We offer some adult only classes if watching your kid has peaked your interest or if you don't have kids and still want to become a ninja. If you want to be more involved with your kid we also offer family classes, which are a great way to bond and spend quality time together.
Kids classes are for kids to learn and grow. Adult classes are tailored for the adults in the class, the exact right level of challenge for you to push you, but still keep you safe. Family classes are a little bit inbetween, and are aimed to help families spend quality time together.

It depends on how you’re here! Camps are drop-off, so parents do not need to stay. Birthday parties are staffed by our coaches, though additional parent supervision can be helpful with larger groups. During Open Gym, parents are responsible for ACTIVELY supervising their children, with a 1:3 adult-to-child ratio.

Classes are coach led, and once you are a member, you don't need to stay! That being said, we like it when families stick around to watch the first week or two; just long enough to get to know and love us, before they take off.

Not necessarily, but everyone needs to know how to use the gym safely first. A class is the best introduction. If that doesn’t fit your schedule, contact us to book a quick gym intro with our staff.

Absolutely! Each party includes 50–60 minutes of coach-led ninja fun, 30 minutes of Open Gym (ages 6+) and 30 minutes in a private party room. We handle the ninja fun, you bring the party!

Book a party

That’s completely okay! No strength or experience needed, as our obstacles adapt to every age and skill level. If your child needs extra support or accommodations, contact us before your visit and we’ll help you find the best way to start.

If you want to join the program outside of the normal tryout window, take some classes with Coach Gavin, the head of our team program, and let him and the front desk know you are interested in joining the program. While we can't make any promises, as the program is often wait listed, we try our best to create opportunities for kids who work hard and try their best.

There are 70 available slots in the Team Program. Team is split into an upper division and a lower division and Practice dates change based on which program you get into. The lower division has practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays while the upper division has practice Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Both divisions are split into 3 groups and are organized in a fashion to maximize skill progression and create groups that work well together and share similar body sizes, this allows the coaches to create more beneficial lesson plans for all the kids they coach in a practice

Both the higher and lower divisions of our Team program operates on a bi-weekly rotation of practices (Mon-Thurs). The upper and lower division are split into three groups to maximize skill prograssion and allow coaches to create more nuanced lesson plans. The three groups rotate between Parkour, Ninja, and Climbing over the course of 3 practices with the final practice of the bi-weekly rotation focusing on course running skills . This gives them the opportunity to cross train and develop a well rounded skill set in relevant disciplines all with the focus of performing well in Ninja competitions and having fun while doing it!
