About Fitset Ninja
Fitset Ninja is a leading ninja obstacle training organization with thriving locations in Edmonton and Calgary, AB, and we’re growing fast. This summer we launched an exciting pop-up location in Kelowna, BC, marking the first step toward establishing a permanent presence in the Okanagan. Our long-term vision is bold: to bring Ninja Obstacle Sports into the mainstream and expand Fitset Ninja locations across Canada.
Our mission is simple: inspire people to unleash their full potential. We live this through a community that’s energetic, supportive, and committed to growth, for our athletes and our staff.
What Does Our Staff Say About Fitset?
“The team is amazing! Lots of energy and a chance to build real friendships.”
“Great job for the spring and summer. Really enjoyed going into the schools and helping the kids run through the course.”
“Camps had great obstacles and different work location options were a good fit for me.”
What Will You Be Doing?
Our Mobile Obstacle Course and Camp Coaches lead engaging, dynamic programming for participants of all ages. During Mobile Obstacle Course events at schools and private events, coaches set up our equipment and guide participants through foundational Ninja skills, creating a fun and unforgettable experience for everyone. During PD days and school-break camps, coaches deliver fun, inclusive, and engaging programming that helps campers build their skills, confidence, and excitement for continued development in the sport of Ninja.
