FitIQ Junior OCR & Ninja Club - Home School

Building Confidence, Strength and Belonging One Obstacle at a Time

Welcome to FitIQ Junior OCR & Ninja Club, where every young person is encouraged, respected, and challenged, regardless of their fitness level or experience. This isn’t just about getting active. It’s about becoming stronger in body and mind, building confidence, and being part of something real.

Our sessions blend obstacle course racing, strength training, movement skills, and mental wellbeing. All of it takes place in The Tunnel, our inclusive, purpose-built training space.

At FitIQ, there’s no expectation when a young person walks through the door. We focus on the individual, work at their pace, and help them discover what they’re capable of in a safe and supportive environment.

Our training centre isn’t just a gym. It’s a space where national champions train alongside first-timers. A place where every child is treated with belief, care and challenge, whatever their background, identity or starting point.

What You’ll Experience at FitIQ Junior OCR & Ninja Club

Where Potential Meets Purpose
At FitIQ, we’ve built one of the UK’s most advanced obstacle training centres. Inside The Tunnel, 25 custom-designed rigs inspired by UK, European and World OCR Championships develop the core disciplines of elite-level movement. These include Toroz rigs, rope climbs, wall runs, monkey bars, cheese boards, firefighter walls, Olympic rings, wheel to wheel transitions, lache bars, balance beams and more. Every challenge is designed to build strength, skill, control and resilience one step at a time.

Serious Training. Real Progress.
This isn’t soft play. It’s structured, progressive training designed for young people who want more. Every session develops strength, control, focus, and performance. We help children prepare for life in sport, and for the discipline life demands.

Pathway to Performance
OCR is one of the fastest-growing sports globally. Now included in the Modern Pentathlon and soon to debut at the Olympics, it’s a serious sport with serious opportunities. At FitIQ, we’re developing the next generation of athletes; juniors who compete nationally and internationally, and who train with purpose and pride.

Led by Champions. Backed by Experience.
Our sessions are led by Lou Ferriman (4× World OCR Champion) and Shylla Duhaney (UK Ninja Warrior, Top UK OCR athlete, 100m finalist). Together, they offer elite-level coaching in an environment that values commitment, consistency, and character as much as competition.

Part of Something Bigger
FitIQ is more than a club; it’s a community. From local events to national race days, we travel together, support each other, and build lasting friendships through shared challenge. Obstacle racing connects young people with a wider world of sport, teamwork, and adventure.

Inclusive. Intentional. Impactful.
Every young person deserves a space where they can be challenged, respected, and supported to grow. FitIQ welcomes all abilities, all backgrounds, and all identities. We are proudly inclusive of all diversity.

Confidence That Goes Beyond the Course
This is about more than fitness. Through structured training, clear expectations, and consistent coaching, children build not only strength and stamina; but focus, self-belief, and emotional control. The habits they build here will serve them everywhere.

The FitIQ Philosophy

We help young people become stronger for life, not just better at sport. Our core values guide every session:

RESPECT – TEAMWORK – INCLUSIVITY – DISCIPLINE – FUN

There are no try-outs or performance targets. There is structure, encouragement, challenge and pride. At FitIQ, every child is supported to grow on their own terms with tools that last far beyond the session.
