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!

🚀 How It Works

Register for just $10.
Create your fundraising link so people can donate directly to you!
Compete for pullup prizes by doing as many strict pull-ups as you can in 10 minutes (there will be an option for banded pullups too - keep reading)!

We'll have prizes for top 3 individuals who complete the most pull-ups in each division - Kids M & F (age 6 -12), Teens M & F (ages 13 - 17), Adult M & F (18+)

You can do this ANY time from 10/1 - 10/31, so get your team together before and after class and do some pullups for playgrounds together!
Fundraise! Ask friends, family, and local businesses to donate or pledge per pull-up that you do or think you can do. There will also be prizes for the top three individuals AND top three gyms that raise the most money, AND for EVERY $100 you raise, you’ll also get a free Spartan Race code!
Submit Your Score:
- Record your full attempt—showing full extension at the bottom and chin above the bar at the top.
- Submit your video to info@neighborhoodninjas.org with the number of pullups you think you did to qualify for pullup prizes.
