★★★★★ — David, Nov 2016

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.

★★★★★ — D, Oct 2024

My family and I joined the Jungle a few months ago! I cannot say enough good things about this gym and the amazing coaches here!! Coach Brian is wonderful with the Little Gorillas class. It took my girls a few weeks to warm up to the classes, but now they love them!

★★★★★ — Brooke, Aug 2016

I wish I could give more than 5 stars. My daughter and I decided to start classes here about a month ago and it was the best decision! All the coaches really take the time to make sure everyone understands what we are doing that day in class. I was really nervous to start because I knew nothing at all.

New to kickboxing? 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 class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness 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 kickboxing class at The Jungle MMA & Fitness Lake Mary

Nervous about walking into a kickboxing 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 — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics 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.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
