Why Choose USA Ninja Challenge?
When you invest in a franchise, you want more than just a business—you want a model that provides stability, growth potential, and real community impact. USA Ninja Challenge delivers on all three.
One of the biggest advantages of our system is the recurring revenue model. Parents enroll their children in memberships, which creates consistent, predictable monthly income and high customer retention. Beyond memberships, franchisees benefit from diverse revenue streams, including birthday parties, seasonal camps, competitions, and merchandise sales. These additional income channels not only boost profitability but also strengthen community engagement, making your gym a go-to destination for families year-round.
Our curriculum is designed to keep kids coming back. Structured skill progression gives parents confidence in their child’s development and encourages long-term participation. This creates customer loyalty and helps build a sustainable business with strong word-of-mouth growth.
Combine that with comprehensive training, turnkey systems, and a fast-growing national brand, and you’ll have all the tools you need to launch and scale with confidence. USA Ninja Challenge gives you the opportunity to own a franchise that is both financially rewarding and personally meaningful.Starting Costs & Investment Requirements

History
USANC was founded in 2015 in Concord, New Hampshire, by a team of entrepreneurs who saw a growing need for children’s fitness programs that went beyond traditional sports. They recognized that not every child thrives in competitive athletics, but all kids need movement, challenge, and opportunities to build confidence.
The concept was simple yet powerful: design a structured, safe, and exciting environment where kids of all ability levels could succeed at their own pace. With this vision, the first USA Ninja Challenge location opened—and quickly became a hub for families in the community. Word spread, demand grew, and soon the founders began expanding the concept into new markets through franchising.
Today, USA Ninja Challenge has expanded nationwide, with more than three dozen locations open and many more in development. Our growth is fueled by passionate franchisees who believe in the mission and parents who recognize the life-changing impact the program has on their kids. With a proven model, strong brand identity, and a clear vision for the future, USA Ninja Challenge is positioned for long-term success in the youth fitness industry.
