## Resource

Vermont’s Ninja Warrior Training Center is blowing up—thanks to local legends like Amir Malik, aka “Sonic,” who’s competed four times and aims for his fifth, inspiring kids across the state. Rose Lord is also on the show, proving Vermont’s rising star power. The center, born in 2015 when Christopher Tower and his family saw the TV show and realized Vermont lacked such training, now spans 7,400 square feet and draws athletes from everywhere. It’s not just about physical strength—it’s a mental grind too, and no experience is needed. Obstacles change regularly, and the gym’s open year-round, putting Vermont on the map as a serious ninja training destination.
