I guess it's time for a review now that I've done at least 125 classes. I've been to all the instructors' classes at least three times each - with the exception of their latest trainer (Jose) who literally just started this week. I hope this means that there will be more timeslots available in the future.
Unlike the other reviews, I don't have other studios to compare this location to. I do agree that the space is small, and it's a bummer that there's no shower stalls (even though it doesn't impact me). However, they've listened to feedback and removed a few bags to making the boxing area more spacious. It is still hard to see the monitor from a few bagging station, so I'd suggest choosing the bag numbers closest to the center of the room if you're new. They've been offering "buy one get one free class" for the last few months, so it's worth trying it out if you're hesitant. I managed to get 2 of my friends to try a class with me + 1 other friend joined.
I like their themed classes the most, especially the ones that allows us to try a variety of punching style. I hope they bring them back. Also, it'd be cool if they offer more members events (like the holiday potluck).
As for which instructors to choose...well, they all got different style.
Martin - My first Rumble class instructor & I've been going to his Thursday noon classes pretty consistently. He shares boxing tips and fun facts. His classes are chill with a focus on techniques. When he warns us that we'll be sore the next day, he's always right.
JT - Go to her class if you want to pushhhhh yourself. All the instructors are energetic, but JT will consistently hype you up and make sure you are pushing yourself. She also walks around the room often to make sure we have the proper forms, which I know is very important for a lot of people, but that also mean no half-assing any exercises while she's around.
Candice - I've been going to her Tuesday noon classes consistently as well. I think she's the only instructor that makes sure we don't bump our head on the bags. She'll give additional "challenges" to the more advanced Rumblers during the exercises.
Valeria - Recently, I've been going to her 5V5 classes. I think it's a fun format since switching is sometimes a hassle. She also takes her time to explain about the proper form for each exercises.
Isaiah - He's superrrr energetic. It's impressive that he doesn't need water at all because he was talking/moving/jumping around the whole time during class. Since I mainly go to his boxing-only classes, I've often see him helping us hold the bags down while we punch. I appreciate him taking his time during the cool down & leading us through long stretches.
Jaime - I've been seeing her more often lately since she's starting to teach later in the day now + I see her in the studio even when she's not teaching. Her pacing of the class is great, and she will make sure you're not giving up. Whenever I see her outside class, she's often smiling/greeting us.
Paul - He's also a chill trainer with a focus on techniques. I haven't been to as many of his classes since they're mostly in the early mornings nowadays, but I like that he does long stretches with us during cool down. read more
