USA Ninja Challenge Franchise Opens First Georgia Location in Woodstock

ATLANTA, GA — USA Ninja Challenge, the youth fitness franchise specializing in obstacle course training programs for children, has been expanding rapidly across the country. The brand’s most recent opening at 185 Stockwood Drive, Suite 100, in the Atlanta suburb of Woodstock, Georgia, is set to celebrate its official ribbon cutting on Tuesday, March 4, 2025, at 3 p.m. with the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce.

“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.
