Action Athletics Gym Review

About Action Athletics

Established in 2012, Action Athletics (AA) is a Boston obstacle and personal training gym, known for training multiple competitors in American Ninja Warrior. The Newton gym has more than 25 obstacles that can be configured in endless obstacle course variations. AA offers open gym use, group classes, and private training for adults and kids. Some of the available obstacles are warped walls, double salmon ladders, cliffhangers, doorknob graspers, and cannonball alley. AA is the proud training home of many athletes seen on the hit TV Show “American Ninja Warrior”.  All-Star competitors like Jon “The Giant” Alexis, Jesse “Flex” Labreck, Allyssa Beird, and more helped build AA into one of the country’s finest ninja training facilities. With an ever-growing number of innovative obstacles and endless configurations, AA serves as a fun and challenging alternative to the conventional concept of fitness for the whole family.
