Customer reviews
These people think we’re awesome. The feeling is mutual!
Amazing 👌🏻
Behind Bars is great! My son, who is autistic and non-verbal, has been attending for around 3 months. We’ve tried many groups that weren’t SEND-specific and often struggled, but the coach here is patient, kind, and genuinely inclusive. His supportive and understanding approach creates a safe, non-judgmental space where children with SEND can feel comfortable, regulate, and grow in confidence. Watching my son so happy and content doing what he loves has been amazing, and we are so thankful for what he does and what the gym offers . Couldn’t recommend it more!
The best around!
My son has been attending Little Ninjas weekly for a while now and when I say he absolutely loves it, that’s an understatement! There’s so much to do, Liam is always putting out new activities and challenges to work their brain and keep them determined to achieve their best, which is perfect for my son who has ADHD! Liam is always there to offer support when needed. The physical, mental and attitude changes in my son are so rewarding to see! We are looking forward to many more years attending Little Ningas!
Amazing setting with everything the kids need!
My son, who is ADHD and ASD comes our of school needing an outlet and Little Ninjas has proved to be the perfect place. Liam is really patient and gives lots of positive praise alongside great coaching and my son is able to hang, swing and climb in a safe environment. We’ve tried so many places and he’s got overwhelmed or not wanted to return. But every week he’s excited to attend 2 or 3 times. Amazing place for the kids and highly recommended 🙏
