Check out the backyard gyms keeping the Junior Ninja Warriors ready for anything

While Ninja Warrior gyms are great and are popping up all over the country, many Ninjas want to be able to train anytime they want and have created obstacle courses in their backyards.

For example, American Ninja Warrior Junior athlete Kai Beckstrand has a full course with a Warped Wall and obstacles that go all the way into the basement. He can go from the backyard to his room without even touching the ground once! Madelynn Madaras started training with Sam Sann and he built an obstacle course in her backyard, complete with trampolines. Then there’s Ella McRitchie, who has a Salmon Ladder to practice on.

In most cases, you don’t need fancy equipment, but if you want to get creative, check out these backyard training courses for some Ninja inspo!
