For First-Timers

Never Boxed?
You're In The Right Room.

Most people walking in for their first Rumble class have never thrown a punch before. You will not be the only beginner. Coach walks the room through stance, jab, cross, hook, and uppercut before round one starts. Gloves loaned free. No contact. No surprises.

Your First Class

What Actually
Happens.

Forty-five minutes. Ten rounds. Half boxing, half strength. Here is the literal sequence, start to finish.

  1. 01

    20 minutes before class

    Arrive, sign your waiver, meet the team. We give you a quick tour, fit your gloves, and walk you through the basics one-on-one.

  2. 02

    5 minutes before class

    Pick a bag. Coach checks in with the whole room. Music turns up. Lights drop.

  3. 03

    Minute 0 to 5: warm-up

    Dynamic warm-up. Movement prep. Coach demos stance and the first combo. You shadow-box for a minute. Confidence is starting to build.

  4. 04

    Minutes 5 to 25: rounds 1 through 5

    Alternating bag rounds and floor strength rounds. Coach calls combos. You hit the bag. You drop to the floor for dumbbells or bodyweight. Repeat. You will be sweating by round 3.

  5. 05

    Minutes 25 to 45: rounds 6 through 10

    Same pattern, harder. By round 8 your forearms feel real. By round 10 you are surprised you made it. Coach finishes the room with a brief stretch.

  6. 06

    After class

    Most people are buzzed for the next 2 hours. Some immediately ask about their next class. Some take 24 hours to text a friend about it. Either way, the door is wide open.

From Real First-Timers

People Who
Were Where You Are.

As a plus size woman who doesn't usually feel welcome in this sort of boutique fitness studio environment, I had the absolute best time and workout of my life. My trainer JP was so upbeat and encouraging, which made everything feel so achievable.

I hadn't been to a kickboxing class in over 3 years and let me tell you I was scared. The team was there to help get me back to feeling good. I immediately signed up to become part of the Rumble family.

Beginner FAQ

Every Question
We Get From First-Timers.

Will I be the only beginner in the room?

No. Beginners are in every single class. Many of our most regular members started never having boxed before. Coach calls out modifications throughout the class so you never feel singled out.

What does the first 5 minutes look like?

Coach walks the room through stance, jab, cross, hook, and uppercut. You learn the basics together with everyone else, then the music starts and round one begins. By round 3 you'll feel like you actually know what you're doing.

What do I wear?

Workout clothes you can move in. Sneakers, ideally flat-soled or cross-trainers. Avoid super-cushioned running shoes. Bring a water bottle.

Do I need to bring gloves?

No. Boxing gloves are loaned free. Hand wraps are recommended but optional. If you forgot wraps, we sell a quick pair at the front desk for $25.

Will I get hit?

Never. No sparring, no contact. Every round is you against the bag, with coach guiding form.

I'm out of shape. Should I get fit first?

No. Come as you are. Modify any round. The class scales to you. Members start in every shape and improve from there.

I have a bad knee, shoulder, or back. Can I still come?

Tell your coach before class. They give you modifications for the strength rounds and adjust how you work the bag. Always clear with your doctor first if you're recovering from anything serious.

What if I tap out mid-class?

Take a knee. Drink water. Get back in when you're ready. Nobody watches. Coach is happy you're in the room.

How sore will I be?

Probably sore the first 2 or 3 classes, especially in muscles you don't usually train. Soreness fades fast as you adapt. Most members stop being sore around class 4 or 5.

How early should I arrive for my first class?

20 minutes early. We give you a tour, fit your gloves, walk you through the basics one-on-one, and answer any question. After your first class, 5 to 10 minutes early is plenty.

3 Classes For $49.

One real shot to see if this is for you. No commitment. No experience. Show up 20 minutes early. We take it from there.
