BALLINA'S ORIGINAL MOVEMENT GYM.
Building bodies that perform as well as they look
Top class set up with excellent coaching, everyone is made feel welcome from the outset. Members are friendly and helpful also. I couldn't rate Jungle Ballina any higher
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
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
Ballina Jungle Gym is an incredible asset to the community. Teora and his team of professional trainers have created a place where people can seek out healthy lifestyle strength and fitness outcomes in a really friendly and positive environment. This place makes me happier every session I attend and I recommend this place to everyone!
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.
Jungle Ballina is a gym with a very dynamic offering for all abilities. I have been a member a few months now and I feel the progression in the training program amazing. 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.

FIGHT LIFT MOVE PHILOSOPHY
The human body evolved through the expression of three key activities:
We fought with each other and other animals for safety and survival… We lifted objects of varied size and shape and shifted them across uneven terrain… We moved constantly, through, under, and over an ever-changing landscape.
Uncomfortably challenged on a daily basis and almost always in organised groups, these were the physical qualities that our environment demanded of us…
This is where our FIGHT, LIFT, MOVE philosophy was born.
