American Ninja Warrior 7
Gielski competed in San Pedro in American Ninja Warrior 7. In qualifying, he failed the I-Beam Cross but placed 14th overall.

In the city finals, he made a strong run up until the Globe Grasper but placed 5th overall and moved on to Vegas. His run on stage 1 was digested, but it was shown that he failed the seventh obstacle, the Coin Flip. Gielski was actually one of only two competitors to fail there, with the other being David Campbell.

American Ninja Warrior 11
After a three-year absence from ANW, Justin returned in Tacoma, competing in his home state in Washington. While his qualifying run was mostly cut, he was shown during Akbar Gbaja-Biamila's Moments at the end of the episode, where he got to the end of the course and was undecisive about which Warped Wall to take on. He asked his wife, which she told him to go for the normal 14.5' wall. Taking her word, Justin scaled the normal wall and hit his first buzzer in his career.

His city finals run was cut, but he failed the Lightning Bolts. He did not make it back to Las Vegas, as he placed 30th.
