Urban Ninja Project, Lexington

Together, the decreasing budgets of school PE and athletic programs and the increasing popularity of video games and smartphone usage create the perfect conditions for lifelong bad habits, sedentary lifestyles, and possibly even health-related diseases. Urban Ninja Project provide a safe, open-gym fitness environment where burgeoning warriors can punch bags, climb walls, perform wall-assisted backflips, and swing across the room ninja-style on gymnastic rings. And for any adults out there who are getting jealous reading this, the schedule also lists sessions just for teens and grownups.
