Excellent ninja warrior inspired indoor gym, great for kids and adults. There are specific kid oriented sessions and classes to help introduce kids to the types of strength-building and movement to do some cool and crazy stuff. They host birthday parties, too!

Cannot say enough good things about our experience with MLab for our daughter's birthday party! It was so pleasant, EASY, & fun for the kids!! The adults running the party were so easy going and fantastic with the kids. The equipment had something for everyone - balance beams, foam pits, ropes to climb, all the things. And the party room was so nice - clean, 2 sinks, large refrigerator, plenty of space. Will definitely plan another party here!!

If you are reading this MLAB is definitely worth checking out. I brought my three young daughters 5 😉, 7, and 8 during their open session. I think its usually $30 each but your first time its $10 each (for an hour). It’s old school-ish which I say as a positive. A lot of places like this are quite rigid as far as setup and usage is concerned i.e. OSHA gone wild. This place is open and fun.
Their staff is also helpful. When we came we’d already signed the waiver but hadn’t checked in before. There was a line with other folks who were taking awhile and the staff let our kids back to play (given the waiver was already signed) while we waited in line to pay.

Hosted my daughters’ joint birthday party here, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. The staff is amazing with the kids, the place is private for your party, the party room is large enough that it doesn’t feel cramped. Amazing value for all they’re offering, and every kid we invited had fun!

We recently had a party for my daughter! The staff did an amazing job of following the direction of what the kids were enjoying! The party room was perfect for the kids to enjoy at the end of the party! The gym has tons of room and activities for the kids to run around and get their energy out! I will absolutely be recommending to everyone I know! 10/10!!!

My son has been at MLab since September, and he absolutely loves it. The Ninja 1 classes are well-rounded, with conditioning, skills and course training, and stretching. He is getting a complete look at fitness with kind, knowledgeable instructors. He even competed in his first competition at MLab, and the on-site coach was so helpful and encouraging. The staff is helpful and family-oriented. My son can’t wait for class each week—he leaves feeling confident and accomplished. Highly recommend!

Went for a kids birthday. Hidden gem. The staff were great and interactive with the kids. Space was challenging and fun for all levels. It's hard not to want to jump in and play myself. Don't judge this book by its cover nondescript outside but a cool spot inside.

I went to the gym for my son's competition. The facility was spacious with good viewing areas. When I went there wasn't any air conditioning but the big garage door was open with a fan which I prefer in the covid Era. The staff was really nice and they supplied chalk. They were will organized and had a good warm up area. My son had a blast and we definitely want to come back.

The gym is great but unfortunately the open gyms are over priced compared to other local gyms. There are many better options in terms of getting what you pay for. $20 for a one hour open gym with no instruction is double what you would pay anywhere else.

Movement Lab is AWESOME! We jumped in right after the Pre-k classes opened in November of 2020. We have watched our son’s skills and confidence improve so much! My husband takes classes too! The class is just a smaller scale version of what the big kids and adults are doing, so they work on several skills and do a course each class. The instructors are so encouraging and patient and create an environment where everyone can find joy in the process and celebrating both trying and all the accomplishments along the way. I highly recommend giving Movement Lab a try! Michelle and her family have done an amazing job with this gym family. We are lifers now and look forward to continuing to watching our son develop his strength, confidence, teamwork and skills.

For Ninja stuff, this is a great place, but the parkour class could be better. I would like to see more parkour skills; different vaults, balancing, plyometrics, tic tac, wall climbs, etc. The focus on flips seems to take away from actual parkour skills.

My teenage boys love this place! They enjoyed the old location but we were so impressed at all the obstacles, equipment, etc. at this new location. One of the boys tore skin on his hand and they were kind enough to bandage and tape his hand so well he was able to keep going for the rest of the open gym time. Super nice staff and just an all around great place!

We came for an open gym and were very disappointed that our kids had to be masked during physical exercise. It was hot in the gym with no fans and to be masked while out of breath when most places are easing restrictions was very frustrating. We were going to book a birthday party but I don't want to subject guests to this. My kids are sweating like crazy and shouldn't have to be masked.

My son has found a home at Movement Lab. We love ninja because of the community it creates.

Hi there my name is Becky and my daughter Samantha attended a birthday party Sunday at your business (her friend Luciana). I just wanted to say how incredible I thought the staff was with Sammi. We had been through a big trauma recently with me almost passing away after months in the hospital. She was very clingy and didn’t want to do any of the obstacles but the helpers, Will, Andrew and I think Mike we’re very encouraging without being pushy and we’re extremely understanding to our situation. I was so thankful for their compassion and kindness. It means so much to Sammi and I.

Do you know of American Ninja Warrior? Did you know Columbus is home to a Ninja who owns her own gym? You do now!

M-LabOhio is a great place for a kid to learn to overcome new athletic challenges, where the focus is on positive support and input from the staff. Our daughter has been a handful of times and even gotten to participate in a few workshops put on by some of the ANW regulars. She has loved every visit with or without guest coaches.

Now, while those guest coaching occasions are great, they are not always regular occurrences. It's the local access to a great gym, the staff attention and the chance to experience what an ANW course can be like that makes M-LabOhio so great.

PS: It isn't just for kids. Adults can join to.

Way over priced compared to all the other local ninja gyms for both classes and single 1hr passes , very small space and limited things to do for kids or adults. The hours are not at all good for kids or families either with school and work. I would not recommend this gym compared to other options locally.

This place is great for kids, my kids are obsessed with American ninja warrior! One suggestion is to recommend parents supervise this children. Every time we have been there the majority of the kids there for open gym are rude and disrespectful to the other kids and even to the employees. I seriously dread coming here for an hour because of the other kids, and the parents are no where to be found. Otherwise a great place that is not like any other!

We had a family reunion last weekend and spent Sunday at Movement Lab Ohio with Jesse Wildman. All of the kids, both younger and older, had the best time being ninjas. Jesse was very helpful, patient and an amazing athlete. We actually had 4 people sign the 14' wall and 1 sign the 12' wall. That made their day!! There wasn't an obstacle we wanted to try that wasn't there. We will most definitely be going back :):)

If there were 6 stars, I'd give it to this place. My son (8y/o) absolutely loves ANW and we heard about the movement lab and knew we had have is birthday party here. It did not disappoint...if anything it exceeded expectations. Not only did the kids have an absolute blast, the adults did as well! The 2 staff members that ran the party were great with the kids and tremendous explaining the rules and keeping them safe. Adults: wear you workout gear and come prepared to have some fun! You won't be disappointed.
Word of advice, you get 30 min in party room after the gym, so don't plan major food or anything after...cake/gifts only so you aren't rushed. They give you a FULL 90 min in the gym which is awesome!! Most places it's only 60.
