We’re thrilled to announce that USA Ninja Challenge East Rochester is now under new ownership! Meet Amy and Patrick, two passionate leaders bringing their experience, energy, and love for ninja training to our community.

Meet the New Owners

Amy
Amy has owned USA Ninja Challenge in North Andover, MA for seven years, where she grew the program to over 400 enrolled students—including more than 40 competitive athletes on the Wicked Ninjas team. Many of these kids started with Amy when the gym first opened and have grown with her in skill, confidence, and athleticism.

She has coached dozens of athletes to the World Finals of ninja competition. As both a parent of competitive ninjas and a certified coach (USA Ninja Challenge lead-certified trainer and WNL-certified coach), Amy brings a perfect balance of professional expertise and personal passion. She looks forward to creating the same dynamic, supportive environment here in East Rochester.

Patrick
Patrick brings his perspective as both a parent and a competitor. He is an ultrarunner, an obstacle course racing competitor, and a certified coach with multiple disciplines under his belt:

  • World Ninja Sport-certified coach
  • Aligned Yoga-certified instructor
  • Progressive Fighting Systems-certified instructor

Patrick has represented the U.S. at the OCR World Championships, earned 10 podium finishes in Spartan and Savage Pro races, and claimed first place at events including the UNAA OCR 3K Championships, Bonefrog Trident, FIT Challenge, and Mud Gauntlet. With years of coaching experience across multiple sports, he’s excited to share his love of obstacle racing and teaching with our athletes.

Together, Amy and Patrick are excited to grow USA Ninja Challenge East Rochester and become part of this amazing community!
