Took our first class with Mary and she was so good! She had the energy to keep us going for almost an hour. It's a group environment, but you can zone in and focus on your own workout. I'm excited to go back!
I joined The Rig in the Spring after feeling a bit stagnant in my routine. Holy, almost 6 months later and loving it! The coaches create such a fun, welcoming, and challenging environment. They are so quick to help when you need it and pump you up every time you go in! Highly recommend!
I started boxing classes with The Rig last month, and I am already a convert. The first month offer is an awesome deal that will leave you hooked. Every instructor and class format I have tried are amazing. I especially love Box + Breathe, it's a great combo of accessible boxing rounds and yoga to cool it down and stretch your muscles. The best bit is that everyone there makes me feel strong and capable. The vibe is incredible: I walk away from every class feeling like I pushed hard and sweat harder. It's still very beginner-friendly (though there is enough room in every class to kick it up a notch or two all the way to the experts), but make sure you come ready to work your ass off!
I joined The Rig earlier this year and fell in love. The Rig offers such a unique experience that I’ve yet to find anywhere else - it’s the perfect combination of fitness, technique, and just straight up fun. The coaches are all so incredible, resourceful and energetic and offer such a wide variety of class styles so that there’s something for everyone. I couldn’t imagine a better environment or a better workout!
I have been going to this gym for a couple of years (both locations). I have really appreciated the inclusive culture and the positive environment catering to all levels. The coaches are lovely and encouraging (which helps me get through the tough workouts!) I have converted a few friends to this gym as well! An added bonus is value for money: I buy a class pass that ends up being around $11 a class in bulk (unbeatable in my opinion).
