About The Jungle

The Jungle is a gym at 163 Marua Road in Mount Wellington, a suburb in the Auckland City district of Auckland, and it holds a 5.0 rating on Google.

Gyms in suburban districts like this tend to be smaller and more community-minded than city chains, and quality shows less in square metres than in coaching and upkeep. Regulars suggest visiting at the hour you would actually train, because a gym at six in the morning feels like a different place than at midday. Chalk on the bars is normal; frayed cables and tired upholstery say something about how a place is run.

For Mount Wellington locals, a five-star gym on the doorstep is a handy thing — no drive into town needed.
