Frequently Asked Questions
We can’t answer them all, but hopefully we can answer yours!
Q: DO YOU HAVE TO BE A MEMBER TO USE ONA?
A: Not at all. We offer session passes for anyone wanting to try out the facility or just passing through town. With our indoor, air-conditioned and weather-proof facility, ONA is a great place to wait out the summer rains or work up a sweat after a day at the Convention Center.
Q: WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?
A: We are located in “the Castle”! Visible from I-4, our facility is conveniently located between John Young Parkway and Orange Blossom Trail (next door to the Bentley / Lamborghini dealership). Our building has a big sign on top that says Obstacle Ninja Academy - but if you get lost, just give us a call and we will be happy to help you find your way. Our official address is 2120 33rd St., Orlando, FL 32839.
Q: WHO IS ONA OPEN TO?
A: ONA is open to everyone! We welcome kids and adults to come and try their hand at tackling the same obstacles that they see on TV (as well as some scaled down versions for the smaller athletes). ONA holds classes for kids and adults and also has open gym available so that everyone can participate in the fun.
Q: DO YOU HOLD COMPETITIONS AND/OR LEAGUES?
A: The air in ONA is electric during our competitions. We host competitions regularly for both children and adults, from amateur to pro skill levels. Sign up for our newsletter or follow our social media posts for up-to-date information on upcoming events.
Q: IS IT SAFE TO USE THE FACILITY?
A: Yep! If the facility is used as intended and under proper supervision, there is very little possibility of injury. Of course, freak accidents do happen, but we designed the space with safety in mind. All areas have padding, with the main competition area having crash pads that are easily relocated to further cushion any fall.
Q: CAN I DROP MY KIDS OFF?
A: No. We are not an after care facility so parents do have to stay in the gym or in the parking lot while kids are taking class or attending open gym.
Q: IS THERE SOMEWHERE TO SIT AND WATCH?
A: Yes. ONA has an area near the lobby entry where non-participants can sit and work or just watch the excitement. There are also a few benches located in the gym if sitting is more your thing than swinging.
Q: WHO CAN PARTICIPATE IN OPEN GYM?
A: Open gym is available to anyone who signs the liability waiver. While we find that kids enjoy the challenge of a structured instructional class, there is nothing that says they have to attend any class. Anyone from age 6 to age 96 is welcome to challenge themselves with the obstacles at anytime they wish.
Q: WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
A: You’ll be jumping and moving and swinging (and falling). Wear comfortable athletic clothes and sneakers. We do require that you wear shoes to participate, so don’t come in socks, Crocs or flops. :-)
