Fantastic experience: I joined the Jungle crew about 6 months ago after spending the last 15 years in other gyms and outdoor bootcamp style groups and was always very driven to progress my strength however felt like I could only get so far.. joining Jungle has been incredibly fun and addictive and I have strengthened my neck, back and core more in 6 months than I ever have and feel so excited about how many ways I can progress in now. The coaches are very friendly and knowledgeable and will teach you the best form for every movement. The community here is also top quality, cheering each other on and celebrating each others wins and just genuinely looking to be better humans. I’ve managed to get a bestie and my husband signed up and are both loving it too. Give it a try I don’t think you’ll be able to resist coming back.

Fantastic experience: Amazing facility! The climbing wall is incredible, I was blown away by it. Great for everyone from kids to adults with a helpful and knowledgeable team to help out if needed. It was a touch busy, but that's a price you pay for a great product. Highly recommend

Jo Taylor 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: As one of the coaches here, I work amongst a beautiful community that is supportive and brings a whole new level of training, teaching people to be the most mobile, strong and resilient versions of themselves possible. Teora has built a seriously special gym in the Northern Rivers and I highly recommend checking it out for yourself!

Milly Bell 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I joined Jungle at the start of the year after searching for a facility like this to finally open in the Northern Rivers. It's been an absolute game-changer and I couldn't be happier with my decision. The trainers are incredible with expertise and passion for what they do. Coming from a background in running and having past joint injuries I was hesitant to try certain exercises. However Teora and his team's ability to understand and correct my movements has been instrumental in helping me improve my strength and overall fitness. Another aspect that I absolutely love about Jungle is the incredible community it has built. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced fitness fanatic, Jungle caters to all levels and ensures a safe and inclusive environment. It's a place where I not only work on my physical well-being but also connect with wonderful individuals who share an interest in movement.

Fantastic experience: I'm loving my experience at Jungle Ballina. As a complete beginner i have been helped into my new strength regime at the Gym by a fantastic coaching team who have made me feel welcome and have personalised my training within the group classes. The camaraderie is great and I'm seeing and feeling the benefits to my physical and mental health already. Thanks Jungle Crew.

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend this place more! Not only is the Jungle crew like a second family the workouts are like none I have ever done before. Teora and the beautiful team of coaches are so welcoming and knowledgeable, not only has my fitness improved but I finally feel like I’m moving my body correctly and building the basis for a longer term solution for movement and mobility!

Fantastic experience: Jungle is a fantastic asset to Ballina and the Northern Rivers. The coaches are extremely talented and knowledgeable, who support each person individually to thrive in their health and fitness journey. This is a very inclusive inter generational space where people are encouraged to be part of a community. I just LOVE this place.

Emma Shannon 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I trained at Jungle Botany in Sydney for 5 years - I would literally travel from one side of Sydney to the other just so I could train in such an amazing gym! So when I relocated to the Northern Rivers last year it was a total no brainer I would continue my training at Jungle Ballina. Even though I’m not new to the JB’s training style, Jungle Ballina has exceeded my expectations & it is the number one reason moving to the area has been so effortless. Teora has a beautiful gift of bringing together wonderfully diverse yet likeminded people & he has built an awesome community which is so unique to the Northern Rivers. In such a short amount of time this gym has become such a huge part of everyone’s lives… whether you want to join a class in the gym, have a climb, learn some new skills, connect with people in the community, make new friends or just have a positive space to escape to - Jungle Ballina is so important in so many ways! I have built incredible friendships, rehabbed some serious injuries, been coached by the best coaches, never had more fun working out, developed so much confidence and have seriously elevated my health & wellbeing all under this roof. This is such a down to earth gym with a refreshing sustainable approach to fitness & longevity - I couldn’t recommend it more.

Anna Lockett 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Jungle Gym and Climbing Jungle is the best thing in Ballina since the big prawn!! The community is so welcoming, the coaches at the gym are super supportive and motivating. Climbing is such a great activity for all ages and in any weather. I love this place, thank you Teora and team - what an enrichment for the Northern Rivers!

Katrina Cleary 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Jungle Ballina is a fantastic gym. All of the coaches have an excellent knowledge of the body and movement which is evident in the individual feedback given during classes. I’d never been a ‘gym’ person until I discovered Jungle. The support and encouragement I have received as a beginner has given me the confidence to push myself more and more. The staff have built a friendly and inclusive community that makes me want to keep going back.

Jason Cunneen 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: What an Asset for the Ballina community. I’ve been going for about 6 months now and It’s changed my life. T and all the staff are amazing. They have so much time for everyone and couldn’t be more caring and helpful. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Joined a few of their fitness programmes to compliment my membership at the Climbing Jungle and didn't regret it! Great team who are welcoming of all levels and backgrounds :)

Ryan Newlands 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started training at Jungle Ballina at the beginning of 2022, I had just finished my rehab of my MCL and ACL tendon ruptures, and i came to Jungle in need of a gym to help me gain my confidence mentally and physically, I met Teora and Pavol on my first day of entering the gym and immediately was welcomed with open arms and a warm presence. The first exercise they got me to do was an intensive screening of my body's strength and mobility capabilities and they left no stone unturned as they recorded all of my irregularities and imbalances of my body. they then asked me what my fitness goals were, and at the time it was to be confident with doing almost any exercise without fear of an unstable knee (I was most excited to get myself back to surfing as soon as i could). So Teora and Pavol made me a plan and even a diet, and before i knew it 6 Months had blown by and i had built so much strength and confidence i was back doing all of the same exercises i was doing pre injury. after 1 year of training i didn't even know who i was. i had transformed into the most fit and strong i had ever been in my life, it had inspired me to take on a PT course myself. Words can't even begin to describe the gratitude i have towards Teora and the Community he has started at Jungle Ballina, I not only gained a great mentor but an even greater friend who has made a great impact on my life. I would recommend this gym to anybody looking to improve themselves athletically with a great community.

Robert Frater 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Ballina Jungle Gym is not your average day to day gym. After years of a very similar exercise routine, I chose Jungle to ‘shake up’ my fitness programme. Little did I realise how much better I would be feeling after just 6 weeks with Jungle. To start with, a tailor-made stretch & flexibility format was set up. Add to this, the variety of group classes that build from the base fitness that YOU have and the choice of morning & night sessions to participate in, is all the ingredients that I needed to re boot and enhance my fitness goals. All staff are very knowledgable, friendly and are focussed on you using the correct technique with the correct weights / level of capability to ensure you are making gains without experiencing long term injuries to yourselves. Jungle Gym comes with a high recommendation from me and it's definitely worth a visit to see how the Jungle Crew can help you get going and set yourselves up for a stronger ,healthier and more balanced future.

Fantastic experience: Jungle Ballina is a special place. The diversity of training, members and quality coaching make it a unique and addictive experience. The movement challenges really resonate with me, I've not had this with any other gym. I've benefited both physically and mentally from training at Jungle Ballina. Stoked to be a member of the Tribe!

Annie Peros 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Seriously the most community focused yet individually dedicated training facility. Ballina and the entire Northern Rivers are privileged to have such a world class facility supporting people’s health and well-being. The Climbing Jungle is also great for families to reconnect and create stronger bonds through natural movement. I instantly felt welcomed and a part of the family here. Teora and all the coaches not only walk their talk, they provide a wonderful opportunity for everyone to achieve their own goals and have fun along the way. Well done Jungle Team.

Johanna Heybrook 2 years ago

The coaches are extremely knowledgeable in their field, giving you the confidence to try new things and step up your goals. The tribe of members are supportive and inclusive making it the perfect relaxed supportive environment for personal growth.

Michael Mastello 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Jungle Ballina is a community hub where people gather to better themselves. It’s a welcoming, positive place where you can find comfort in others company and improve your mental and physical wellbeing through movement and social interaction. It’s in its infancy after a couple of challenging years but the potential of this place is immense.

James Hulme 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Jungle Gym has been a lifeline for me thanks to their humble approach to group exercise classes, their wholistic framework, and the kind compassionate community they’ve created. They have highly experienced coaches that tailor each session and support every person with their needs. I’m going to see one of their Osteopaths Damian this week and look forward to treatments with their remedial massage therapists. If you’re looking for a social outlet this is the community for you, there are constantly events in around the northern rivers that we attend and plenty of tented people sharing their art and skills with the community. The gym is located just off the highway on the river and has plenty of street parking.

Fantastic experience: Best. Gym. Ever. I'm a self confessed gym hopper, never committing to anywhere for long, but not anymore! I've never been fitter or stronger or committed to a single gym for so long ( I've been here over a year now!) But it's not just the excellent coaching, and the fitness that I'm here for. It's the sense of community that I've never found anywhere else. Gym's can be intimidating but not this place. It's warm, friendly and focussed on you achieving your individual goals no matter what they are or what level you are at. Add to that the facility for climbing out the back and this has become a family affair for us with myself and my husband attending the gym and our daughter LOVING the climbing space out the back attending classes out there. Get out there and join people. You won't regret it!

Toby Mason 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: 5 stars does not do Jungle justice. The staff are beyond awesome, there is a real sense of community and pride. The facility is spot on. A solid 12 out of 5 stars.

Charlotte Astruc 2 years ago

Charlotte Ficheroux 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Staff are lovely. As a new climber I was so nervous but everyone was so welcoming.

Andrew Habner 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for 6 weeks and have become totally hooked. I’m not a gym person normally, as I don’t normally enjoy the atmosphere in the machine led gyms. Jungle Ballina with its coached classes and body weight type exercises provides a really warm welcoming feel that allows a total beginner like me to get stuck in. I’m building flexibility and strength already and look forward to every class!

Bryan Jeffs 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’m genuinely impressed with Jungle Ballina. It’s family friendly so wellness can become a cultural thing. They’re promoting a well rounded approach to fitness and I’m confident being apart of a community that supports everyone feeling better.

Clemence Wotherspoon 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Such a fantastic addition to our community here in Ballina, and in the Northern Rivers! Love the focus on overall well-being, mental health, and connection. The fitness gym program and rock climbing gym are amazing. The Jungle team is wonderful and supportive. 5 stars ⭐️

Leila Trees 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I LOVE Jungle Ballina. I have made the decision to stay living in the area as I haven’t found a similar gym experience or community quite like it and can’t justify not training here. I love the variety of classes, the atmosphere, the friendly coaches and members and am seeing excellent results in my training.

Kerry Hardey 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’m so glad I found this place. The community T and his trainers have created is fantastic. Having not trained for a long time everyone was so supportive when I was very nervous to get back into it, their knowledge around functional movement patterns and how body’s can be supported to move is amazing. After breaking my ankle T followed up with phone calls to see how I was and how my recovery was going, I really appreciated it and felt like part of the team. My kids also LOVE the climbing gym, they’re only little but I can’t wait to see what they achieve on the walls as they get older and stronger. This place allows so many different ages to come together and stay fit and healthy in such a fun way. Highly recommend!!

Semral Walsh 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Jungle is a welcoming space and I’m beyond impressed with the space, trainers and community. There is no ego in class which hands down beats any other gym I’ve been to. If you’ve ever thought about coming along, run! Don’t walk.

Fantastic experience: I’ve only been a member for a few weeks but this is an amazing community and something I’d been looking for in Ballina for almost a year after arriving in the area. This is not your typical gym. This is a community of like minded people who are looking towards the same goals. Thanks to Teora and the whole crew. All Amazing athletes sharing their love of health and fitness with the community.

Sebastiaan Van de Veire 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Awesome community I'm proud to be a part of, I came in with injuries and an unbalanced body due years of lifting weights without real guidance and they set me straight in no time, it's a very fun environment wich encourages you to be better every day. The professional trainers and in house osteo and excerise physiologist ensure you exercise the right way with maximum growth potential for minimum input a day with classes that are very time efficient, challenging and fun! After discovering this place I will never ever set foot in another commercial gym again.

Danielle Davis 2 years ago

Love this place and it's people so much ❤️️‍♀️

Teora was generous with his time and extremely knowledgeable about the human body and its mechanics. Overall an amazing experience and a great investment into your health.

Renae Black 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Jungle Ballina is the greatest gym I have ever attended. More focused on human interaction and challenging movement through fitness, rather than the standard gym where one can so easily fall into moving in one a directional plane. Jungle is an absolute attribute to my mental and physical health.

Rob Parer 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Wow! Ballina has stepped up climbing for Australia and placed in all three climbing styles at one venue. Pictures don't do the competition lead and boulder walls justice. They are mega. The warm customer service and stunning backdrop of the Australian environment makes the Climbing Jungle my new favourite place to relax.

joseph worthington 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best gym in town. My mate owns it, so I'm obviously biased. However, try it out and prove me wrong.
