The Jungle Movement Academy — Local services in Round Rock

This place is pretty cool. It’s a large open gym in a warehouse type business park in East Round Rock. It’s got multiple rock walls, trampolines, foam pits, rings, rope swings, parkour area, changing obstacle course area, and ninja warrior training set up. The classes are diverse: silk rope aerial, parkour, yoga, trampoline- flips and tricks, and a class for little kids called Tiger Cubs (for under 6 years old). The gym can get a little crazy when they host camp days but I haven’t seen little kids get trampled by bigger kids (yet). I love that they offer memberships for homeschooling kids & moms and cater classes to that schedule. The homeschooling membership can only go before 4pm but they offer classes throughout the day. I would like to see more options for classes for under 6 years old, but if your child can be attentive and focused in the classes sometimes they do allow them to join. My daughters are 3 & 5 and normally take the Tiger Cubs class; the make good use of the gym features. They did allow my 5 year old to join the aerial ropes class; we thought it was really neat. The instructors are really fun and engaged, seem to love their jobs, and get creative when teaching. I would love it if more of the Tiger cub classes lined up with mom classes, so that the kids can be occupied and supervised during the mom classes, but they are flexible if you need to help your kid. The kids can free play in the gym while moms are in classes. The homeschooling membership does allow you to go during the week during the day for open play or a certain amount of classes that you purchase based off your use. They have an app that you can sign up for your classes that makes it convenient.

Not many of the members wear masks (some instructors do) and I did hear they had covid run through the gym back in May. But for the most part you can social distance. I do think they could be more strict on requiring hand sanitizer on entry but they do provide it and strongly suggest you wash your hands before entering the gym. I don’t really like that some kids wear their shoes inside-tracking in more germs. Only 4 stars because of that and because sometimes the gym smells musty and sometimes it smells like food (there’s a kitchen). I don’t think they clean the foam pit very often. They do try to keep the large warehouse door open and front door open during nice weather. The check in process could also be streamlined with fabs and or being able to checkin everyone at once instead of individually. Overall, it’s an amazing...

The coaches are great, the owner is great and everybody is real nice and the atmosphere is good as well. However the reason I'm leaving a more or less negative review is I've been to this place maybe 4 times, as an athlete and a coach myself in the sport of freerunning I cant stand the overlap of adults and kids in the same open gym space. Most gyms make it a point to separate adults from kids during open gym but not this place. And the kids there who im sure are regulars have a super snarky im here everyday attitude towards adults who are there to train and not there to say play hide and seek or tag. On several occasions I nearly landed on a kid in the foam pit coming off the tramp because the coaches weren't even watching. And the spring floor is always crowded with obstacle courses designed for toddlers and leaves a very small space if any for open floor training. The reason nobody takes the sport seriously from an outsiders point of view is because gyms like this cater to kids more than athletes or aspiring athletes and its usually because of a couple things, the vision to make a real gym for real athletes isn't there or the parents money is more important than the sport. Apex, Tempest, Flight Academy and etc are super successful gyms because they cater to both real athletes and bratty kids. And they separate them. Point is, this place could be waaaaaay better if they were more strict on the mixing of ages. They even have good equipment here, its sadly under used tho because there is always a kid just kinda standing there in the way. I would live to come back if the place starts taking itself a bit more seriously. It didn't feel like a gym, it felt like a birthday center...

This is a review for an experience I had a few months ago. I am rating my experience at the gym 2 stars due to poor customer service. I arrived at the gym early on a weekday so my three year old could try a class. The woman at the front desk was extremely rude. She made me feel I was bothering her. She made it clear that the gym wasn't open (it was 5 minutes until opening). I understood that, but her tone and attitude were so offensive that other members looked at me with a "sorry" look. I tried to keep a positive attitude and proceeded to sign my daughter up for a class. The gym was standard and I have no issue there. I had a seat and my daughter attended the class. She seemed to be having a great time, and the instructor had plenty of energy! About five minutes into my daughter's class, the woman from the front desk entered the workout space. She asked me to move because she was going to start a class. Again, her tone was rude and short. A woman who was going to take her workout class smiled at me and invited me to join the class. She also suggested I would not be in the way. I had already been talked down to at the front desk, and now I was being asked to move when there was so much empty space to conduct a workout. I was holding my 4 week old baby, and a super nice member helped me move my chair and sit somewhere else. I heard the instructor realize she could have moved over a bit for her class (a class of 3 people). I'm hoping this was just a bad morning for this woman because she really made me feel out of place and like a bother. Needless to say, I...
