01 Before your first visit

Every ninja
starts somewhere.

We make it easier to show up ready, find the right fit, and enjoy your first challenge.

How do I get started?

Start with a coached class or ask about Open Gym. Both Baldwin and McMurray offer a $20 trial class when the class has room. If the class is full, a trial may not be available at that time. Check the correct location before visiting.

Explore Baldwin Classes or McMurray Classes, or compare memberships for Open Gym and Ninja Camp.

Is there a minimum age?

At Baldwin, youth classes begin at age 5. At McMurray, the minimum age is 4. Classes are grouped by age, and our team can help you find the right fit.

Do I need a membership to take classes?

A separate Open Gym or Ninja Camp membership is not required by the existing Iron City Ninja FAQ simply to participate in classes. Youth classes have their own enrollment and pricing options. Review the Baldwin or McMurray Classes page and confirm any program-specific requirements before purchasing.

Is ninja training suitable for beginners?

Yes. Classes are designed to help athletes learn fundamental climbing, balance, agility, and obstacle skills, with coaching that supports different experience levels. Beginners do not need to know how to complete every obstacle before their first visit.

Schedules and programs are tailored by location. Here's what families most often want to know before signing up.

When are ninja classes held?

Classes are generally scheduled on weekday evenings, but days and times differ by location and age group. See the Baldwin Classes page or McMurray Classes page for published schedules, then confirm current openings before registering.

Are the age groups the same at both gyms?

No. Baldwin age groups are 5–7, 8–9, and 10–13. McMurray age groups are 4–6 and 7–13. Our team can help with placement if you are unsure which group to choose.

Can we try a single class before committing?

Yes. A $20 trial class is offered at both Baldwin and McMurray when the selected class is not full. Contact the relevant location to confirm space before arranging a trial.

What will my child learn?

Ninja classes emphasize obstacle fundamentals, balance, agility, coordination, strength, problem-solving, perseverance, and confidence. Activities progress as athletes grow more comfortable and capable.

What is Next Level Ninja?

Next Level Ninja is offered at Baldwin for ages 13 and older on Wednesdays, 7:00–8:00 PM. It is not a recurring membership. Pricing is $40 for one class, $80 for a four-class pack, or $120 for an eight-class pack.

04 Birthday party questions

Big day.
Easy planning.

A great party should be exciting for the kids and straightforward for the grown-ups. Here's how the details work.

How long are birthday parties?

Iron City Ninja offers two-hour birthday parties on Saturdays and Sundays at both locations. Use the filtered online event calendars to view birthday party dates. Available appointments depend on the booking calendar.

What are parties like?

Our two-hour parties are divided into three main parts. About one-third is guided Open Gym time, with staff members helping children through obstacles and making sure the rules are followed for safety. About one-third is staff-led games. The final one-third is birthday celebration time for food, drinks, and pictures. If there is time left over, we use it for more guided Open Gym fun.

What birthday party times are offered?

Baldwin: 1:00–3:00 PM, 3:30–5:30 PM, and 6:00–8:00 PM on weekends.

McMurray: 10:30 AM–12:30 PM, 1:00–3:00 PM, 3:30–5:30 PM, and 6:00–8:00 PM on weekends.

These are published reference time slots, not live availability. Explore Baldwin party details or McMurray party details, then check the booking calendars.

What is included in a party package?

Published packages include obstacle-course activities, dedicated party staff, two pizzas, drinks, tables and chairs, tablecloths, plates, napkins, and utensils. McMurray also lists a complimentary edible invitation.

How many children can attend?

Each location allows a maximum of 30 counted children at a party. The birthday child, siblings, and adults do not count toward that 30-child maximum. The standard package includes up to 20 guests; additional children are listed at $10 each. Confirm your total and the final price before booking.

Are party prices the same at both locations?

Both locations list a $375 non-member price. The advertised member rate is $300 at Baldwin and $350 at McMurray. Baldwin’s member rate requires at least three months of active membership. Confirm qualifying membership status and final pricing during booking.

View the Baldwin party package or McMurray party package.

Can I view available birthday dates and book online?

Yes. Choose your location to open its birthday-party-only event calendar: Baldwin birthday availability or McMurray birthday availability. Select the party event and follow the reservation steps. A completed booking depends on the calendar's confirmation process.

Party pricing, inclusions, and published time slots may change. Contact your preferred location to confirm details before payment.
