Everyone deserves the opportunity to be healthy, happy, and successful; to discover new talents, to learn new skills, to be great at something. Let’s Jump, L.A. was founded on this basic idea.
Jump rope is truly for everyone, and is one of the most accessible activities in the world - all that's needed is a rope. Jump rope is inexpensive, can be done indoors or outdoors, and is perfect for those on the go.
The health benefits of jump rope cannot be overstated. Jumping rope improves cardiovascular health, bone strength, and muscle tone, and burns up to 800 calories per hour.
As a sport, jump rope builds focus, determination, and confidence. Freestyle routines foster creative expression and reinforce the value of teamwork. Athletes learn how to work towards their goals, how to handle success, and how to persist through failure. This is a key message in our school assemblies.
Let’s Jump, L.A. was founded by Mike Fry. Mike has been jumping rope for 28 years, and has traveled to 16 countries on five continents to share his love of the sport. He is a three-time National champion, a four-time World champion, and has performed for the NBA, NFL, Puma, Ford, Adidas x Gucci, and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. He lives and works in Los Angeles.
