In most sports, the fundamentals are the methods that create a basis for great execution. In parkour, great execution is synonymous with safe execution. The sport requires a balance of athleticism, control, strength and lots of energy. The team at Level Up has endless patience for all ages. My son has competed in baseball, swim, wrestling, and parkour. Parkour, above all, is his favorite sport. I never have to push him to go train at Level Up or on our own. This is the first sport where he gladly puts down the controller to train. I am super excited to have found Jeremy and Level Up!

His energy was great, even in a super small intimate class! This was my first Rumble experience. I liked it, though it wasn't my favorite style of boxing training. It's not fully boxing, so for those who are just getting into boxing or consider it more like a smaller part of their routine, this might be a great choice. For me, I take 45-60 minute boxing classes regularly and really just wanted to hit, so I was a little thrown when I walked in and ClassPass had the wrong format on their system so little did I know, I was signed up for a fully strength class. I came back that week and did a 5v5 (5 rounds boxing, 5 rounds floor/strength) to try it out for real. I am not a fan of the aqua bags, as someone who generally hits heavyweight bags. But that's just personal preference. It's also very clubby inside, reminiscent of a Barry's class. Loud music, dark ambiance with colorful lighting changes. Once again, that's is totally personal preference but isn't my favorite studio ambiance because I get overstimulated. I also found that some of the combination movements on floor were odd and counterproductive. This is not coach-specific, I believe Rumble corporate probably sets the workouts. But I don't see how a dumbbell chest press into a lying leg raise is a productive exercise. THAT SAID, the studio itself was great. All the staff were super friendly, inviting, and made me feel super welcome as an out of towner. They write great quotes/mantras on the lockers each day, the space is clean and bright, and there's parking. I'll certainly be back when I'm inevitably in town again.

I originally signed up for a free class, and I've been hooked ever since. The workouts fit…read moreperfectly with my schedule, and it's the perfect place for beginners while still being challenging and rewarding for all levels. Every class gives you a great sweat session, and you leave feeling accomplished. They go above and beyond with the little details--cold towels, water, and boxing gloves are provided, and they even write your name on a locker when you arrive, so you know exactly where to put your stuff and where to stand. The staff is incredible--so happy, friendly, and motivating! They truly make you feel like family, and that's one of the reasons I keep coming back. It's on the expensive side but SO worth it! 5/5--I absolutely love it here!

Rumble Boxing is excited to be located at Midcity Yards!

This was the last wholesome place I could take my children and grandchildren that didn't cost so much money. I am sick of all of this. Can't go anywhere anymore. The world is sick and this is the last place I thought this would happen. I am pulling my membership. You have so many strict rules in there, I was really impressed with the lifeguards and how well they watch the children And the older ones like myself. You always close down to make sure the pool is clean and everything is well maintained. I thought you had some decency, but now we don't have any good examples for our children to follow. I just want to swim and play pickleball and use the gym equipment and not have to look at some men dressed up like women. children need really good role models and this not setting a good example. What's next for the children? Who allows this? When you allow this, the center will go down. The community goes down also. This is not upbuilding, this is tearing down. This is a disgrace. I'm not supporting this. Anybody else going to stand with me?
