The Authentik Movement Ninja Team is built on hard work, positive attitude, teamwork, and a willingness to keep growing.
Our goal is not only to develop stronger Ninja athletes, but to help athletes build confidence, discipline, resilience, respect, and the ability to work through challenges on and off the course. Success is not measured only by podiums or completed obstacles — it is also reflected in how our athletes respond to setbacks, support their teammates, receive coaching, and continue moving forward.
Through trust, communication, and shared effort, our athletes push one another to improve while creating a team environment where everyone has the opportunity to grow.
Together, we represent the
Focus, Breathe, Believe, Conquer, Inspire

~NEW THIS YEAR~
TEAM OPEN GYM
For the 2026–2027 season, Authentik Movement is adding a weekly team open gym exclusively for team athletes.
Thiswould provide athletes with additional time to practice skills, repeat obstacles, run courses, improve course strategy, and work on areas identified during formal team practices.
Unlike a fully structured practice, athletes would have more independence to choose what they need to work on while still having access to Authentik coaches for guidance and feedback. Think open gym but with more guidance, correction and course work.
When: Thursday 5:30-7:30pm
Bronze: 5:30-6:30pm
Silver & Gold: 5:30-7:30pm
