IT'S ALREADY TIME FOR SEASON 19 of AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR! 🙌 LET'S GO! 💪

We’re excited to officially announce the Ninja U athletes selected for the next season of American Ninja Warrior!

Next week, these FIVE athletes will head to Las Vegas to take on the course! 🔥

🤡 Collin Stevenson
Collin is a 17-year-old competitive ninja who trains at our Ankeny location, and this will be his rookie season on the show! Known as the Clown Ninja, Collin can ride a unicycle and sculpt some seriously impressive balloon animals. But don’t let the clowning around fool you. This kid can MOVE!

💪 Peyton Coffin
This powerhouse athlete from Cedar Rapids trains at our Cedar Falls location and is back for her second season! A personal trainer with incredible strength and determination, Peyton is ready to show everyone what she can do on the big stage.

🔥 Jason Behrends
Jason is STOKED to be back for his third season! A senior at CFHS and coach at our Cedar Falls location, Jason may be one of the smaller athletes on the course, but he’s made a habit of playing BIG when it counts.

📣 Ben Behrends
Big brother Ben is HYPED, as always, to be back on the course! At 19, this will already be Ben’s sixth season on American Ninja Warrior. Whether he’s coaching kids at our Cedar Falls location, screaming from the sidelines for another athlete, or taking on the course himself, Ben brings the hype and goes ALL IN on everything ninja.

👨‍👦‍👦 Scott Behrends
Scott is co-owner of both Ninja U locations and, most importantly for this adventure, dad to Ben and Jason. Heading into his sixth season, Scott has his sights set on something special: Father/Son/Son buzzers! He’s incredibly grateful for the ninja community and for everyone who has supported the Behrends family and Ninja U along the way.

Five Ninja U athletes. Two locations. One BIG trip to Vegas. 💪 Stay tuned for episodes airing Summer 2027.

👇 Help us send Collin, Peyton, Jason, Ben, and Scott off to Vegas with some love. Wish them luck in the comments!

🥷 From The U to College! 🎓

As our athletes wrap up their first week of college, we wanted to recognize some very special members of the Ninja\U family.

These athletes have put in years of hard work, countless hours in the gym, and competitions across the country**, and each has left their mark on The U.

Cohen Dahlstrom
6+ years of Ninja\U training, competing across the country in Pro competitions, and countless hours putting in the work. Cohen has been a staple of our gym as both an athlete and coach, and we’re so thankful for everything he’s given to The U. 🥷

Piper Smith
5 years of ninja training while also becoming a top-notch track athlete. Piper brought home multiple state track medals while continuing to put in the work at the gym. We’re incredibly proud of her dedication and work ethic.

Emily Sayer
A coach who will be deeply missed around The U. Emily has crushing the ninja stage for years, bringing home World Titles, while also competing at the Junior Olympics. We’re so grateful for everything she’s poured into our athletes.

Brooks DeGeeter
Brooks started classes during the very first week we opened in 2018 and hasn’t looked back. He’s been one of the best teammates anyone could ask for, bringing an energetic and positive personality to the gym every day.

Sam Anderson
7+ years of ninja and one of the smartest athletes around. Sam has dominated in the gym, being one of the few to earn a red wristband, and even built his own rocket! 🚀🥷

To all five of you, thank you for the years of hard work, competitions, coaching, laughs, and friendships. You’ve each left your mark on The U, and we couldn’t be prouder.

Good luck in this next chapter! We’ll miss you more than you know. ❤️🥷

Once a Ninja\U athlete, always a Ninja\U athlete.
