From the reviews
Amazing Fitness Center. The work out is great. The coach is very knowledgeable. The staff is great. My family is very content with the location. We look forward to join all the classes.
I can’t say enough good things about Coach Drew! His passion for coaching and teaching is truly inspiring. From the moment you step into his class, you can feel his dedication and energy. Drew has an incredible ability to make even the most challenging workouts enjoyable.
It’s more than just a gym, it’s a family. I’m so glad we made the decision year so ago to give this place a try for our kids. Still going and plan to be for years to come! The coaches are good at personalizing while still pushing you to be your best. Good for all ages!
I have been a member at the Jungle for quite some time now and I love the atmosphere. Coach Drew has been so helpful and a great trainer during my time here. This location as well as the Colonial location are both amazing with great people and vibes.
New to muay thai? Start at The Jungle MMA & Fitness Lake Mary
The Jungle MMA & Fitness Lake Mary comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at The Jungle MMA & Fitness Lake Mary
Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
