Whether you’re terrified by boxing workouts or can’t wait to get your gloves on, it’s worth getting to know Rumble Fitness. It’s a major player in the boxing studio game, and for good reason: Rumble’s boxing classes are fun, high energy, and set to unique playlists and flashing lights to keep your energy and confidence up. While the studios may look professional or even intimidating, with the dark lighting and rows of teardrop-shaped bags, Rumble’s philosophy is welcoming, inclusive, and beginner-friendly, with instructors who bring energy and positivity as well as modifications and extra instruction if needed. (In fact, those bags are designed to help all the class members see the instructors more clearly!) And that beginner-friendly ethos extends to Rumble’s pricing, which has membership options at various price points.
But first, a little about what to expect at a Rumble class. If you’re intimidated by boxing, don’t sweat it — Rumble classes involve a mix of boxing, cardio, and strength training for a well-rounded workout. Each 45-minute class starts with a five-minute cardio warmup, and then dives into the “10 rounds, 2 fists, ZERO experience necessary” workout that has become Rumble’s catchphrase.
If you’re new to Rumble — or boxing in general — Rumble uses the first five minutes of each class to instruct beginners on the six punches that will be used in the workout, so you can go into class feeling confident. For the first three rounds of your workout, you’ll be boxing on bags, using six classic punches (jab, cross, front hook, back hook, front uppercut, and back uppercut) and punch combos. Then, you’ll hit the floor for three rounds of strength and conditioning that use dumbbells and your bodyweight. After that, it’s back to the bags for two more rounds of boxing-inspired cardio, and finally finish back on the mat with two rounds of strength training. It may sound like a lot, but thankfully, there’s active recovery at every transition from boxing to floor.
Sounds intriguing? Your next question is likely about Rumble’s membership costs. Here, we break down what to expect from Rumble’s prices, based on our own research using various Rumble studio pricing pages, so you can decide if it’s worth the hit to your wallet.

Additional Costs
You’ll definitely want gloves for this one. Boxing gloves are available to rent for $3 per class, or you can purchase them from Rumble’s front desk boutique.
Rumble also requires hand wraps in addition to gloves, as they help keep your hands and wrists aligned to avoid injury. While it may seem like overkill to wear wraps and gloves, most boxers compare wraps and gloves to socks and shoes: you can’t wear one without the other. Wraps protect your hands from abrasion, chafing, scarring, and injury.
Rumble has slip-on hand wraps (which look a bit like fingerless gloves) available for purchase. Unlike boxing gloves, which can be rented, the hand wraps can only be bought. They’re a bit of an investment, ranging from $10-$25 per studio, but they’re machine washable, so hang on to them and reuse.
As for other gear, Rumble recommends wearing whatever makes you feel comfortable and cross-training or running sneakers. Everything else you need (mat, weights, equipment, bags) is provided by the studio as part of the class.
You can also gift a friend a Rumble Gift Card ($1 and up) if you want to encourage them to join in on the fun.
