👍👍 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.

    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.

    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!

    An amazing work out in a really great environment. There is a good range of classes to select from. The instructors are all super welcoming. Female owned too!

    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.

    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.

    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!).

    100% recommend! Great atmosphere, amazing coaches, overall it has been amazing experience ever since I joined 6 months ago, and looking forward to many more! It was recommended by my sister in law, and has been the best decision for sure!

    Such a fun place! So welcoming and if you are new to boxing, they show you the ropes and make you feel so comfortable. Such amazing instructors. Love Box and Breathe with Ashley and B2B with Nicolina. 10/10 would recommend!! Also super clean space 🫶🏽

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

  • 5/5 Heather “Zarzilla” W. 8 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    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!

    AMAZING location, very clean and extremely welcoming. I did a drop on cash class last Friday evening and going back tonight for another. No experience needed, the coach was beyond helpful and modifications ALWAYS available and shown too. Very excited to go back again. Thank you

    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!

    I booked an intro package and I was so happy with the experience that I just purchased 30 more classes. They have a range of different class types and instructors, so the intro month is a great chance to see what and who works for you.

    The vibe = immaculate, 10/10. The Rig team is lovely and welcoming, and the workouts are so fun! What a great place to come for a killer release and dopamine hit!

  • 5/5 Sandy U. 1 year ago on Google
    Love The Rig! Great workouts and instructors with a very approachable atmosphere. Good variety of classes, my favourite is Combine.

  • 5/5 Emily R. 1 year ago on Google
    Legitimately one of my favourite places of all time. I used to be extremely nervous being in the athletic realm but The Rig is the most wholesome, welcoming, and encouraging place. Highly recommend for all levels, go get your sweat on and feel the burn!

  • 5/5 Diana G. 1 year ago on Google
    I will only wake up before 7am for doughnuts, and the Rig - that's how amazing this place is. The coaches are great, the atmosphere is always positive and the workouts will make you feel ready for the world. Grateful for this place and it's people ❤️

  • 5/5 Kayren M. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic boxing workouts coached by a knowledgeable and enthusiastic team! They offer a variety of classes that are perfect for all fitness levels and every body. Plus, mood lighting, killer playlists and an opportunity to release some rage on a boxing bag sounds like a perfect way to start or end the day!!!

    I have been going to the Rig since they first opened in September 2021. It truly is my happy place. Every single instructor that works there is welcoming and friendly. They make you feel comfortable no matter what your activity level is. I would highly recommend the Rig to anyone who is looking to workout in a safe environment and if you’re looking for something new to add to your routine

However, the slipperiness of the floor is quite unacceptable. Many friends have reported the same thing, no matter the badminton sho...

👍👍 Great gym but the location is weird to get to by bus. There is no direct route and requires a 10min walk from McArthur.

😐 Nice big location lots of parking. Prices are high and it is always busy. The place gets super crowded and you need to wait for a machine. A bit more cleaning would be great. The place gets cleaned once only and cleaning machines is not enforced.

😠 This location does not maintain its equipment, and will not fix it until it becomes a safety issue. Once it’s up for repair, they take over a couple months to get fixed. I.e. hamstring curl machine out of service since no later than Jul 31st- it is now Sept 12. Edit: They have decided to outright...
