Among the rock star ninjas of American Ninja Warrior, rock climber Meagan Martin is one of the greats, and we are about to share some interesting information about her life. She seems to thrive under the pressure of competition, and in her seven seasons on the show, she has never failed to impress audiences with her ninja warrior course times. Her extensive rock climbing has given her the upper body strength needed to be a serious competitor on the show. This gifted warrior is currently preparing for season 13.
American Ninja Warrior may have more male competitors, but every year, more and more women take the challenge. Kacy Catanzaro was the first to gain widespread attention. Now, there are many fan-favorites who keep coming back year after year, including Jesse Labreck and Michelle Warnky. While stuntwoman Jessie Graff is missing season 13 due to an injury, several other notable women are competing, including the fierce, brave and strong Meagan.
Meagan has always loved climbing, though she grew up competing in gymnastics and later, pole vaulting. After college, she decided to pursue climbing as a career. When she decided to try her hand at American Ninja Warrior, she knew it would be tough, so she trained hard before her first try. Season 6 was her first appearance on the show. The 5’4” tall woman slammed the course. She also blew away viewers when she made it up the Warped Wall. This made her the third-ever woman to beat the Warped Wall. Based out of Colorado, she was able to train as part of the Wolfpack with other Colorado ninjas, including Isaac Caldiero and Brian Arnold.

2020 was filled with highlights for 31-year-old Meagan. She got engaged to her boyfriend. She shared a picture on her Instagram of herself, her fiancê, and her ring, as seen above. When he proposed, they were out rock climbing at a place that is aptly called Lover’s Leap. In fact, her newly-ringed finger was covered in climbing chalk. During a So iLL Facebook promotional video, she explained that she wants to work on the American Ninja Warrior show, but not as a contestant. She is interested in being an announcer or sideline reporter (this position is currently held by Zuri Hall). First, she wants to hit all the buzzers, including the one on Mount Midoriyama.
Meagan Martin has helped to coach young rock climbers. She has also served as a mentor on American Ninja Warrior Junior. She loves helping young people to live out their passions, just like she has done. While she may not have chosen a traditional career, she has excelled at her sport and as a contestant on American Ninja Warrior. As she approaches her eighth run on the show, fans are cheering her on. She clearly has what it takes to make it all the way to Mount Midoriyama.
