The Rig Boxing: Opinions

5/5 (60 Opinions)
Rachel Bouwhuis 1 month ago

Fantastic experience: After 200+ classes and a humble start, I can assure you that no matter who you are, how old you are, or what fitness level you have, you will feel welcome and comfortable; physically and mentally challenged; grounded in the present moment; and like $1M after you leave any of these boxing classes. So what are you waiting for? Come try out the Rig! Want to learn the technical aspects of boxing? Coach Emily (box + box) or Kevin’s got you (rumble in the jungle). Want a fun boxing sequence and challenging core workout? Coach Ashley’s you’re gal (tune up). Do you hate doing burpees and love lower body workouts? Coach Joe is in the know (box + blast).Those are just some quick ideas but truly, you will enjoy any of the coaches and classes because they are all great!

Fantastic experience: Had such a blast at the charity class at RigBoxing in Mechanicsville! It was the perfect mix of boxing and strength rounds, and KC absolutely killed it as the coach. She kept us all pumped up and pushed us just the right amount while still making it super fun. The energy in the room was unreal—everyone was giving it their all, and it felt awesome knowing we were sweating it out for a good cause. Huge shoutout to KC for being so motivating and keeping the vibes high. Definitely can’t wait to do it again!

Fantastic experience: Had a wonderful first class. Everyone was very welcoming. I was worried I would feel intimidated but it was clear and fun to do.

Nicole Collymore 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: Great class if you’re looking for a workout where you choose your intensity. You get out what you put in, and the coaches are amazing at keeping you motivated. I personally love Joe & Ashley’s classes @ the Hintonburg studio - they push you with amazing positive energy that keeps me coming back! I can see the difference in my posture and overall strength since taking classes here

Roberta Thompson 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: This is my new favorite place to get a full body work out. Feels very welcoming to everyone, and the coaches have a great motivating energy.

Gracen Johnson 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: First, important to note: "we punch bags, not people." This is not a classic boxing gym. The Rig offers a range of heavy bag workout classes that two years in, still leave me challenged, exhausted, and happy every time. The bags themselves are water-filled and teardrop shaped - they feel AHHHMAZING to uppercut. Most classes include either a strength (free weights, tire flips), plyometrics, or agility element and have served me well as cross-training. Every class is welcoming to everyone from beginners to instructor-level participants, and you can always get out what you put in. I love how the coaches bring different music, energy, boxing combinations, and motivation styles. I find their membership / credit options make it easy to commit at any level. Huge, huge fan.

Fantastic experience: Christine's class was amazing! I left as a puddle of sweat!

Andrew 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Christine’s class is incredible! She’s such a kind, welcoming person but make no mistake - her class will kick your butt in the best kind of ways. Christine is also incredibly supportive of all fitness levels and is able to truly connect with first-timers as well as experienced athletes. If you want a place to get fit and join an amazing community, the Rig is your kind of place!

Fantastic experience: Crazy good workout but don’t think it’ll be easy! Great if you like intense HIIT!

Jessica Lefebvre 11 months ago

Positive experience: The place is funny teaching the basics of boxing but its not a real boxing gym no actual ring more like a cool night club for adults with music and bags loll but is something fun for the average person looking to get in shape

Andrew Childerhose 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: What welcoming personnel. I would be here forever trying to list the good things about the rig. You need to experience it for yourself.

Natasha Barlow 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Awesome experience as a first time rig-visitor and first boxing class with Alyssa as an instructor! She was very warm and welcoming, had a perfect blend of showing the class what was up next and letting the participants do their own thing, great encouragement, lovely pacing for keeping the momentum going throughout the workout, etc. Would go again with Alyssa as an instructor (which is a lot coming from someone who is fearful of gyms!).

Fantastic experience: Great instructors and great workouts. Different every time! So motivating, great music and great pase. Get my a$$ into shape in no time! I walk in with a baby blue shirt on, walk out with a dark blue shirt on! Best workout ever!

Heather “Zarzilla” Williams 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Experienced coaches and trainers, friendly atmosphere, and a great place to get started on your fitness journey if you want to try something different! All skill levels are welcome, even in this fast-paced combination workout! You can pick it up really quick. Something for everyone for sure, and my preferred method of working out now. Love this place!

Michael Fefergrad 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: There’s really only one way to describe the gym and community behind it, and that’s family. Always an amazing sweat - and even better time.

Dana AC 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Wanna get your a** handed to you by the friendliest trainers out there? This is the place. Ive got 20+ years of boxing experience and it's still an exciting workout every time I go. I love the pass/payment options, the different classes, but most of all the instructors. They've created a fun, high tempo, hard working environment. I can honestly say this is the first time I've had an exercise class that I'm jazzed to go to every single time. They treat everyone at every level with kindness and respect, and support you througout your fitness journey. Because you get what you put in, this is a great option for beginners and veterans to boxing.

Fantastic experience: Since joining The Rig I have felt welcomed and motivated! I love that the classes are in the dark. All the coaches are motivating and the classes are the right amount of challenging. I would love to receive some pointers on form from the coaches throughout the classes as they are walking around.

Lauren Kelly 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’m typically nervous trying something new, so the fact that The Rig has lots of photos and tutorials on their website and social media immediately put me at ease for my first visit. The classes are so fun, the instructors are smart and creative, and the membership options are plentiful! Plus it has the small-gym feel in that the instructors learn your name so fast (I love that!). I am thrilled to be a regular member here.

Courtney CL 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great group of instructors with nice variety of class offerings. Clean, well ventilated facility. Sturdy bags and dumbbells. LOVING THIS PLACE *1 year later, edited to add: JOIN US. Beginners (ie., me) welcome! No starting skills required- just be sure to arrive early so you can get setup with wraps/quick intro. From there, you'll learn as you go!

Fantastic experience: The music is always fantastic, the lights are low and it’s just you and your bag! The workouts at The Rig Boxing are quick and effective, after just a few months of regular workouts I am already feeling amazing results. Every one of the coaches at The Rig are friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and inclusive, no matter your skill level you’re going to get a great workout. This gym is a much needed addition to the neighborhood. I cannot say enough good things about it - you just have to get there and try it for yourself!

Janet Gwilliam-Wright 3 years ago

Elly Ha 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: The best boxing class ever!! Super welcoming, friendly, great cardio workout!!!

Christine Gilbert-Harrison 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Fabulous new gym in Ottawa. I took advantage of their intro package, 3 classes for $18. Amazing deal for any gym. Upon completing those three classes I immediately signed up for a monthly pass. Coaches are all super friendly and welcoming. During class they take the time to walk around and encourage members individually and provide feedback. The gym is clean and follows proper public health protocols. Every members has their own station with a boxing bag and weights so you are not sharing equipment during class. I leave each class super sweaty. What could be better?

Amaury Yacksmith 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Fantastic concept for getting a good workout and familiarizing yourself with the art of boxing. They have an intro pack which is 3 classes for $18, so there's really no reason to pass up on this wonderful gym. I also had the great pleasure of being helped by Nicolina Leone, and their honesty and good communication skills is top notch. Thanks again, Nic. It was a real pleasure dealing with you.

Cherice 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Ok so I’ve been dropping in to see the gym. Took my breath away. I can’t wait to try some sessions. Prices or packages available not sure when but if your around Scott street check it out. Support our entrepreneurs/ small businesses!!!!
