My first foray into group fitness was in 2013. The place was called ilovekickboxing, and while their website left something to be desired, I loved the workout and community. From that day on I was hooked (pun always intended) on boxing and boxing-adjacent workouts . Anytime a new studio or app popped up that gave me the opportunity to unleash my inner fighter, I was the first one to glove up and try it. Then in 2017 an entirely new type of boxing studio was born — Rumble Boxing. I tried it back then, but as of late it's become my go-to workout of choice. Here, more on why I love it so much, plus what to expect when you take a Rumble class.
Hvad er Rumble?
Rumble Boxing er en unik træning, der kombinerer boksekredsløb, HIIT og styrketræningssæt til kurerede spillelister af interne DJ's kombineret med farverige lys. Alt dette gør det lige så meget af en fuldstændig fordybende oplevelse, som det er en fantastisk måde at træne på. Mærket blev grundlagt i New York City, men har nu lokationer fra kyst-til-kyst, og endda en global tilstedeværelse med lokationer i Japan, Australien, Mexico, Den Dominikanske Republik, Kuwait og mere.
The signature class is a 45-minute, 10-round, cardio and strength workout crafted around specially-designed water-filled, teardrop-style boxing bags. These specialized bags were created to be easier on the joints as the water absorbs the kinetic energy expelled with every punch, something that traditional heavy bags (commonly filled with sand) just can't do. The class is taught by a trainer who stands on a podium and also moves around, cueing the boxers and those that are weight training (what's known as 'floor'). Projections on either side of the room outline the boxing combinations and exercises for each round. Each three-minute round focuses on building stamina, endurance, speed, and strength in targeted areas. Classes always include boxing drills and skills, before finishing with a combination round and a high-energy 'Rumble Round.'

Hvad jeg kan lide ved Rumble
While some workouts can leave you wondering if a minute is longer in this class or when you're watching on a microwave, Rumble is anything but. It's fast-paced even though the signature class is 10 rounds—five rounds on the boxing bags and five rounds in the weights section, switching twice in between.
De energiske instruktører, hype træningsmusik , og dynamisk grafik sikrer også, at du forbliver helt opslugt. En af mine Rumble-trænere, Kory Flores , er elsket for at hoppe af væggene (på den bedst mulige måde). Hun tegner ubesværet både boksning og styrkeøvelser, mens hun sørger for, at alle føler sig støttet. Da vi nærmer os toppen af vores bokserunde med non-stop 1'ere og 2'ere (stikker og krydser) hun spytter ind i mikrofonen: 'På en skala fra 1 til Fast and The Furious Jeg har brug for, at du går Vin Diesel.' Jeg smiler og vinkler hovedet mod posen og lader den rive. Musikken bølger, og lysene flimrer i forskellige farver. Jeg har fuld gas, og det føles som et perfekt orkestreret fitness-øjeblik. De øjeblikke er det, jeg elsker ved Rumble; det er den perfekte kombination af motion og underholdning.
Hvad er værd at bemærke om Rumble
Først og fremmest er det en bokseinspireret træning. Dette er ikke stedet, du går til selvforsvar eller sparring, men det er et godt sted at lære det grundlæggende og få en god træning. Og hvis du er helt nybegynder, er Rumble en sjov og ikke-træmmende måde at lære at bokse på. (Avid boksere kan dog blive skuffet over den mindre størrelse taske, som ikke tillader meget rækkevidde til krop og hovedbilleder.)
Participating studios also offer free, introductory classes for those brand new to boxing. This class introduces the number system the trainers use to call out each punch. 1 is jab, 2 is cross, 3 is front hook, 4 is back hook, 5 is front uppercut, back uppercut. In addition to learning the fundamentals of boxing, you'll also get acquainted with the weight training portion. This includes a fully-equipped strength bench with weights ranging from 5-20 lbs and weighted brass knuckles that are typically used in the abs portion as well as in the Rumble round..
For dem, der måske er følsomme over for lys og høje lyde, skal du huske på, at denne træning byder på meget af begge dele. Receptionen tilbyder dog ørepropper.
You'll need to wear sneakers, workout attire, and bring boxing gloves and wraps. For your first class you can rent gloves for free, but you will need to pay for your own wraps (which you get to keep). You can then rent gloves every time or buy your own. Side note: As someone that's taken hundreds of boxing classes, I've tried my fair share of gloves and prefer these from Tussel Gear , en kvinde-stiftet virksomhed. De gør det nemt at få fat i dit vand til en tår mellem runderne eller håndklæde af uden at løsne handskerne.
Det er også værd at nævne, at hver Rumble-træning er rettet mod en bestemt kropsdel (øvre, nedre, mave, hele kroppen) baseret på ugedagen. Dette format hjælper med at sikre, at deltagerne får afbalanceret træning og giver deres muskler en chance for at hvile.
Ønsker du at adskille dine styrke- og cardiodage? Du bør også tjekke med dit lokale Rumble-studie for at se, hvilke andre klasser de tilbyder, såsom 30-minutters boksning-klasser og 30-minutters-kun styrke-klasser.
Finally, while the first class is free, Rumble is a bit pricey. Prices vary by location, but unlimited memberships typically range from $179 to $299/month. A pack of five classes ranges from $159 to $190 (classes expire 45 days after purchase). You can find a full breakdown of class offerings her .
Husk på, at du også skal bruge udstyret, nemlig boksehandsker og vikle. De Wink boksehandsker solgt i studierne vil sætte dig op til $90, mens den er nemmere at bruge hurtige indpakninger (de fortsætter som fingerløse polstrede handsker i modsætning til traditionelle boksepapir) vil koste dig op til $25. Og lad os ikke glemme at nævne alt det slående søde Rumble-mærket beklædning, inklusive huer, tanke, kloklemmer og meget mere.

Hvem er Rumble god til?
Ifølge Rumble træner Stephanie Raphael , the workout is good for everyone: 'If you are drawn to amazing music, an energetic atmosphere, and a strong supportive community, Rumble is the place for you.' Her (somewhat surprising) tip for first-timers? 'Choose a spot in the front! As intimidating as it may seem, this will give you a clear view of your trainer and the projectors guiding you throughout the class,' she says.
In my opinion, the class is great for people who are interested in boxing with no experience or for anyone looking for a great workout that's got both cardio and strength training. Rumble is also a top choice for those looking for a fun way to get in shape. Even more experienced boxers will find the classes fun and challenging, since the trainers will always provide ways you can level-up your workout.
Bundlinjen
For mig har Rumble altid været en pålidelig god træning - og en sjov en. Jeg nyder den mentale udfordring lige så meget som den fysiske. Jeg opbygger udholdenhed, selvtillid, grus, og muscle. So much so that I'm about to take my 150th class. So what do you say, are you ready to Rumbleeeeee?
