Pullups for Playgrounds
Step 1: Sign up and fill out our waiver!
WHO'S GOT THE GRIP TO GIVE BACK?!
Pullups for Playgrounds is BACK - and this year, it’s BIGGER, BOLDER, and built for even MORE IMPACT. With a fresh format, we’re making it easier than ever for everyone to show up, pull up, and power up a cause that matters.
At its core, this challenge isn’t just about how many pullups you can do - it’s about what we can build together. Every rep brings us closer to creating more NinjaFit Playgrounds - free, community-based spaces where kids, teens and even adults can train, grow stronger, and experience the confidence-building fun of ninja and obstacle course racing together.
We’re already three-quarters of the way to funding our next playground in The Berkshires, MA, but we need your help to cross the finish line! Help us create a FREE, accessible outdoor space where whole families can move, connect and grow through overcoming obstacles together!
