## Story

“We are thrilled to bring USA Ninja Challenge to Georgia. With the growing demand for youth fitness programs, there’s tremendous opportunity in this space,” said Co-Founder Richard Knight. “The structured curriculum and proven business model provide an exciting way to engage kids in fitness while building confidence and life skills.”

The Woodstock gym is the first in the state and will be opened by Kristy Tyler, a former restaurant industry professional and mother of two young girls who is excited about this opportunity to inspire young ninjas to thrive.

“As I looked for business opportunities, USA Ninja Challenge stood out because of its focus on fun, fitness and fostering growth in kids,” Tyler said.

To build excitement for the opening, Tyler is hosting two events. A pre-opening party is planned for Sunday, February 2, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., featuring pizza from Dina’s Family Italian off Hwy 92, sweet treats from a local baker (to be determined), refreshing drinks, giveaways — including one lucky winner who will receive a free birthday party valued at $315 — and shortened free trial classes for kids interested in experiencing the program.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony on March 4 will feature light refreshments from local vendors, creating an opportunity for families and community members to see the gym and learn about its programs.

USA Ninja Challenge continues to differentiate itself in the youth fitness market with its engaging obstacle course programming, designed to develop strength, confidence, and coordination in children of all skill levels.
