Founder & Head Coach
Pedro Garcia is the founder and driving force behind Jungle Five Dock — a gym built not just for training, but for personal growth and ownership of life. With over 15 years of experience in martial arts, strength training, and movement, Pedro helps people unlock their physical potential and discover how movement can transform their lives.
Originally from the hospitality industry, Pedro combines service excellence with a warm, approachable style. With qualifications in Fitness and Sport & Recreation, he believes training is not just about aesthetics — it's about building character, resilience, and the freedom to lead your own life with strength and confidence.
Pedro’s philosophy centers on movement as a path to vitality, longevity, and purpose. Rather than mechanical reps, he empowers members to train with intention, explore their physicality, and embrace discipline, joy, and growth through every session.
His own journey through depression and anxiety during the 2020 lockdowns reignited his mission — to create a space where people can reconnect with their values, rediscover their confidence, and become the protagonist of their own lives. Today, he leads Jungle with heart, discipline, and a deep respect for every member's path.
Favorite mottos:
"Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment."
"You do not rise to the level of your goals; you fall to the level of your systems."
"I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul."
