Something BIG just landed in Maryland Heights!
Say hello to Ninja Central - a one-of-a-kind movement space where kids run, jump, climb, and soar toward strength, agility, and unshakable confidence.
This isn’t your average gym. This is next-level ninja - built from scratch with purpose, passion, and a whole lot of heart.
How did it all happen? Because one person had the courage to dream big.
Ray Overmann, founder of our non-profit Team Central, saw a need - a space where kids could move freely, build real strength, and feel like superheroes in their own story. Now that dream is real, right here in our community.
And if you know Coach Evan, you know Ninja Central carries his spark. He didn’t just plan the program - he helped design the facility, select the equipment, and even create the logo. Every inch of Ninja Central reflects his creativity, energy, and genuine care for kids.
This place was built to be good for kids.
For confidence-building, not just muscle-building
For flipping fear into fun
For kids who need space to grow, move, and belong
Strength. Grit. Joy. Movement.
All in one place. Rooted in community. Powered by happy, healthy, confident kids.
Don’t miss the Ninja Central Community Sneak Peek: A free event for families to meet our staff, tour the gym, and test out all the amazing Ninja equipment!
