My husband has been a student at Jungle Gym for over a year and has benefited immensely! From losing weight, lowering his blood pressure and improving his overall well-being, Jungle Gym has completely changed his life for the better. After seeing his success I too decided to join Jungle Gym and I absolutely love it! I was nervous about joining because last year I had spinal implant surgery and have rods from my neck to tailbone limiting the mobility in my spine. I didn’t think that I would be able to do something mixed martial arts. However, one night when picking up my husband from the gym Coach Pat convinced me to just come and try it out and said that I could work at my own pace so the next day I went for a trial class and I am so glad that I did! The coaches are beyond amazing!! They are extremely knowledgeable and have been so helpful with my condition. They understand my limitations and have taught me how to modify certain positions when necessary. The other students at JG are great also, they are always willing to help each other out and work as a team rather unlike other schools I have tried in the past. At Jungle Gym it is not all about being competitive (although they do encourage participation of all students in tournaments such as Grapplers Quest where they have record highs in student enrollment compared to other MMA schools) but about learning to live a better lifestyle as a Martial Artist. I have made many great friends at JG and it’s a fun learning environment where your peers and your coaches become your second family. Lastly, as for the pricing I would have to disagree with the comment below because they are def. not in it for the money, they honestly care about you and your training. The cost was an honest concern for my husband and I as a young, newlywed couple trying to save to purchase a house but from our perspective the price is the same range as many MMA schools the only difference is the higher quality of training and personalization. We both train 5 days a week (like many most students) and it works out to only a few dollars a day! But most importantly, it is not your typical run-of-the-mill school. At JG every coach knows each student on an intimate and more personal level. As a student at JG if you miss a couple days of classes they are calling your phone to check in on you to make sure that everything alright. Most schools don’t care if you go to the classes or not as long as they are getting their monthly payment, but not at JG. Here the coaches are passionate about their students and want to see each student succeed and ensure that with a little dedication every student is capable of achieving their black belt.

The Jungle Gym has changed my life. It is not only a MMA/BJJ school but they make you feel like part of a family. I have been a student at the gym for a few years now and it is amazing to see how much the school has grown. I am one of the Connecticut people and was super excited when the JG New Roc school opened. It is only about 15 mins away from where I live and is right off 95. The staff is super knowledgeable and the school is growing every day. Being a petite female I was super ecstatic to see the amount of girls to join the school within the past year. Jungle Gym is so diverse in its teachings and students; there is a place for everyone. There is a place for the student who hopes to train to become a professional fighter, the student who trains for the self defense aspect of the sport, the student who trains to be a world champion Gi Competitor, the student who solely trains to loose weight and live a healthier lifestyle….the sky is the limit at the Jungle Gym. Everyone that is on the mat no matter if we are training MMA, BJJ or even just doing a cardio class is pushing you to your full potential. Motivation is something every student at the Jungle Gym shares with one another. Lets not forget about the awesome kids classes that the Jungle Gym offers. This is not only a great place for adults but it is great for the whole family. The coaches are really caring towards the kids and want each child to have the best experience possible. The kids gain confidence, respect, focus and learn to always do there best. Since starting the Jungle Gym I have seen a physical change in myself; I have become stronger, faster and more technical with my grappling. More importantly I have also changed my mentality about many things. I came into the Jungle Gym as a 19 year old young girl whos attitude would knock your socks off. Being at the Jungle Gym and around the people I call family pretty much everyday has changed me for the better. (A good old slice of humble pie never hurt anyone.) If you want to learn legit MMA or just get in shape and start to live a healthier lifestyle the Jungle Gym is definitely the place to be.

I joined the Fighterella, all female boot camp class, three years ago and this class has not only transformed my body but my life as well. I started to pack on the weight in my early 20s and as I was approaching my 30s the number on the scale kept climbing. In January of 2012, I decided that I needed to take control of my weight. In the past, I tried the gym but I found myself walking around aimlessly because I didnt know how to get the results I wanted on my own. Through trial and error, I decided that fitness classes were the way to go for me. I like structure and I would rather pay someone to come up with an exercise routine that will create the results I longed for. Down 30 pounds later, I obtain those results with the Fighterella program. I exercise with a group of fantastic women who support each other. Just the other day, a teammate and I helped a new girl finish her set of burpees after we had already completed ours. The coach is there to provide guidance in and outside of the gym. He doesnt sugar coat his feelings about obesity which in away is refreshing because he makes you take responsibility for your lifestyle. If youre ready to take control of your weight and you need guidance and support I would highly recommend Fighterella!

The Jungle Gym is a great place to train if your looking for a clean and comfortable place to workout. But honestly it is so much more. When I joined the Jungle Gym I just wanted to lose weight. I was at an unhealthy weight and I recognized I needed a change but I was skeptical because I had tried many diets, gyms and workouts and they were all a waste of time. But my transformation has been amazing. In 4 months I have already lost 60 pounds (insane right?) and I am feeling so much healthier. Now I am looking to shed another 40 to 50 pounds, and get fitter and toner. I have been committed and have worked hard but I cant take all the credit. The Coaches at the Jungle Gym have taught me many things about diet and nutrition, exercise and self defense, and having a positive attitude (ok, Im still working on that last one!) and they have pushe me to do my best and I have surprised myself. I have not only lost weight but have made positive life style changes. I am now doing things I had previously giving up on, and even trying new things. So, if your looking for a good place to train, the Jungle Gym is that, but it is also a real family; a supportive, caring family that will help you reach your potential.
