Exeter — Anthony Jordan’s satisfaction was almost palpable as he gazed down upon a vast sea of glittering scaffolding that supported nearly every conceivable body-contorting, gravity-defying obstacle.
It was only last winter that 19-year-old Jordan and his father Alan closed the sprawling 17,000-square-foot former HVAC warehouse at 140 Epping Road. He plans to bring his lifelong passion to Exeter with an American Ninja Warrior-inspired production. Gym of the Jordan Warriors. The 2,000-square-foot mezzanine area overlooking the cavernous warehouse space seemed like the ultimate blank canvas, perhaps almost too blank.
“I had a few ideas for different things, but then I realized how much space there was and I had to fill it all in,” Jordan said. “I think every square foot in this place has been put to good use.”
From a warped pair of walls at one end to a climbing wall at the other, all set on a highly forgiving floor of carpet-bonded foam, Team Jordan has created the ultimate extreme sports playground.
Jordan has a grand opening scheduled for Sunday, June 4th from 12pm to 6pm and can’t wait to share it with athletes of all ages and skill levels.
