Australian Ninja Warrior Is Returning in 2027 – Here’s Why That’s Exciting for WA Athletes
After years off our screens, Australian Ninja Warrior has officially announced its return in 2027, and it’s exciting news for obstacle lovers across the country. Especially those fans of Robert Irwin, who will be hosting the show!
The show introduced millions of Australians to a sport that combines strength, agility, balance and determination. More importantly, it inspired thousands of kids and adults to step off the couch and onto the obstacles themselves.

For athletes in Western Australia, there’s never been a better time to start training.
More Than Just a TV Show
While many people know Ninja Warrior from television, it’s grown into a genuine competitive sport with athletes training year-round.
Across Australia, local competitions, leagues and dedicated gyms have helped develop the next generation of competitors. Whether your goal is to hit a buzzer on national television or simply conquer your first obstacle, everyone starts in exactly the same place—learning the fundamentals.
You Don’t Need to Be an Elite Athlete
One of the biggest misconceptions is that you need incredible upper-body strength before you can even try.
In reality, most beginners spend their first few months learning movement patterns, grip technique, body positioning and obstacle strategy.
Good coaching makes a huge difference.
At West Coast Warriors, our coaches help athletes progress safely at their own pace, whether they’re five years old or fifty.
Why Start Training Now?
Although 2027 might sound like a long way away, becoming comfortable on obstacles takes time.
The athletes you see on television have usually spent years developing:
- Grip strength
- Swinging technique
- Balance
- Upper-body endurance
- Explosive power
- Problem-solving skills
Starting early means you can build these skills gradually while enjoying the process.
A Sport the Whole Family Can Enjoy
One of the things that makes obstacle training unique is that it’s genuinely for everyone.
Kids build confidence, coordination and resilience.
Teens develop athleticism while challenging themselves with increasingly difficult obstacles.
Adults discover a style of fitness that’s far more engaging than lifting weights or running on a treadmill.
Many of our members even train alongside their children, making it something the whole family can enjoy together.
