Holy moly! This place is extreme! It is on a good chunk of land just minutes north of the US 281 & Hwy 46 junction in Spring Branch, Texas. There is a small indoor gym with a lot of the American Ninja Warrior apparatuses. I came with a group from Camp Gladiator and they took us on the outdoor loop. Oh man was it the most challenging and fun course! There are so many obstacles on the loop that you can do half during one loop and the other half on the second loop (they are each labeled with "Loop 1" / "Loop 2"). We completed all the obstacles in one loop, which wasn't a quick adventure. There are upper and lower body obstacles as well as core. I wasn't able to complete a lot of them but it was fun to try and I know I will be hurting tomorrow since I know I used muscles I probably haven't in a while or ever. The terrain is very rocky with hills- some pretty steep, so you have to watch your footing. Also, be very careful on all of the obstacles- I almost got injured several times since I do not have the best form, nor strength. It comes with the territory though, and you sign a waiver before using the gym or loop.
There are water jugs along the course which is nice if you need to refill your water bottle, or if you don't want to carry a water bottle around and are in need of a need a drink. There are no cups, but they are up high so you can pour it into your mouth if you stand below it. My only dislike about the whole loop is if I had not come with my group - which included 2 personal trainers that knew the course and proper form - there are no instructions or tips listed for each station. You sort of have to figure it out, which I know I may have not been able to for all of the obstacles had my trainers not been there.
There were a lot of groups and families with kids as young as middle school aged. You can skip obstacles if needed- it is at your own pace and fitness level. $20 gets you in for the day to do whatever you may please as many times as you want. I think that is an excellent deal! As we were leaving, some young teens were there for a birthday party- pretty cool idea!
No matter what you show up for, just be prepared to work your booty off and have fun, as well as bring a towel for the car trip home since you will be dirty and sweaty. read more
