When people hear the word “boxing,” most of their minds might go straight to gloves, hooks and uppercuts. However, behind every jab there is something more: confidence, strength and power.
While some people workout for the physical aspect of it, boxing is about how you feel in the long run. As the wellness industry continues to grow, the two factors that consumers look for when trying something new are change and challenge.
Would you believe me if I told you that by gearing up and attending a Rumble Boxing Gym class you’d be closer to hitting your goals?
Located just 2.6 miles away from UM’s Coral Gables campus, Rumble Boxing Gym offers a large variety of classes. You can go from their Rumble Rookie Format for beginners to their signature to straight up boxing orRumble strong for more experienced and returning boxers.
The first thing you’ll see walking into Rumble is a vibrant wall of boxing gloves. The studio team will check you in, provide your gear and escort you to the lockers where you can safely store all your belongings and prepare.
You’ll be amazed by the vivid display of equipment under the neon lights, including aqua-filled punching bags and individual weight stations for the full-body strength section. The music, carefully selected by your trainer/DJ for each section, will keep you motivated and ready to give all you’ve got.
At Rumble, the fight is not against another boxer. It’s you against the popping question in your head: How much can you take and how far are you willing to go?
Hannah Lagoski is a coach at Rumble Boxing Gym in Coral Gables since its opening in January and has been a boxer for more than 5 years. For Lagoski, boxing goes beyond strength.
“There is a skill to it,” Lagoski said, pointing out how defense, footwork and coordination shape your practice. She explains that her love for boxing comes from the way it challenges both body and mind. To Lagoski, Rumble can be summed up in two words: high energy.
Feeling tempted to join a class? The intro for first-timers begins with a five minute rundown of all the boxing basics. Even if you’ve never boxed before, you’ll have a safe starting point.
You will warm up with some cardio. Then, you get right on to three rounds of weights that target strength and conditioning using dumbbells and your body weight. Between each you’ll sneak in a quick active recovery.
Because this is a full-body workout, you’ll use Rumble’s brass knuckles and weights to target your abs, arms, and glutes. Then, you’ll finish off with two more rounds of cardio with the bags. And, of course, there is the post-class victory dance.
We all have things we’re fighting for, and Rumble is an opportunity to battle prep for life. What are you waiting for? Check out the Rumble Boxing Coral Gables’ schedule and unlock your inner fighter.
