Cool Jobs: Ace Bungee Fitness

Putting the Fun in Fitness

Ace Bungee Builds Strength and Community 

by Kerri Cooke

You’ve probably seen one of the hottest new exercise regimes—bungee fitness—on TikTok or Instagram. It’s not only fun, but it works multiple muscle groups and can burn hundreds of calories at a time. If you’re the adventurous type, bungee fitness feels like the adult version of exploring the McDonald’s playground in the ‘90s.

Christina McCord, owner and trainer at Ace Bungee Fitness, has brought this exercise opportunity to Lake Charles. The studio opened in January 2026 inside of Game2Life. An advantage of bungee fitness is it’s lower impact on your joints than if you were doing these exercises without resistance from above.  Clients work against the bungee harness while the harness also takes strain off the body. 

McCord says the studio offers “low-impact, bungee-assisted workouts for all fitness levels that combine cardio, strength, stability and fun.” The “fun” part is a large part of the equation. In a world where we are very busy, enjoying a workout makes someone more likely to stay consistent. “

“My goal was to create a place where people enjoy exercising. I wanted to offer a workout that is fun, effective and accessible while helping people build confidence and improve their overall health. The name Ace is a tribute to a very special late client of mine, Brett ‘Ace’ Allen. He brought joy and a smile to everyone he met, and naming the studio after him was a way to honor his memory and the positivity he shared with others.” 

The group atmosphere helps keep people consistent and builds relationships. “Working out with others creates accountability, encouragement and support”, McCord says. “People are increasingly drawn to group fitness because it provides both structure and social connection.” Group fitness is ideal for those who struggle to get their workouts in solo. And what can be more fun than hitting two birds with one stone while soaring through the air suspended from a bungee line? 

There’s no doubt bungee fitness instructor is a cool job. McCord agrees and adds, “What makes my job so rewarding is that I get to help people discover that fitness can actually be fun. Every day, I watch people walk through the door feeling nervous or unsure of themselves and leave smiling, laughing and feeling accomplished. Bungee fitness is unique because it allows people to do things they never thought possible while reducing impact on their joints. Seeing people gain confidence, improve their health and build relationships all in one place is what makes this job truly special. It’s about much more than exercise—it’s about creating experiences and bringing people together.”
