Many boxing classes often focus on cardio boxing or kickboxing with minimal focus on actual boxing…read moretechniques. What I like about this gym is that the instructors all have boxing experience (not just fitness or cardio kickboxing) and provide instructions on boxing techniques. The gym is fairly large with an ample amount of heavy bags. There is a section for weight lifting though I hardly use that. Finally there is an open area for sparring for those interested. To start, you have to take a few introductory boxing classes where you learn the basics of their boxing techniques (e.g 1 is jab, 2 is cross, 3 is front hook punch, etc.). After that you can take the other more advanced classes. I typically take the Old School Boxing Class. The Old School Boxing Class consists of a 5-10 min warmup, some basic boxing warmup like shadow boxing, some partner drills, and finally some punching on heaving bags. Good workout for an hour.

It's common for people to look around confused, unsure of how to perform the long combo shown. In maybe half the classes, though, additional instructors might occasionally come around to give tips.

The only time I received a lasting injury in around 2 years of combat sports sparring was when a staff member here suddenly threw dangerous unpadded knees to my rib cage during a light spar.

As an advanced level group fitness fanatic, I've checked out many different workouts and studios,…read moreso I consider myself experienced enough to soundly critique them. Rumble is similar to Barry's Bootcamp, but uses boxing bags instead of treadmills. There are also a few other key differences: WORKOUT Pros: -Alongside an inspiring instructor, Rumble also uses a projector to display the current moves and combos onto the wall, which is SUPER helpful. -The boxing gloves (available to rent) are cute. Cons: -Overall, the workout was not as intense as Barry's Bootcamp, so I didn't feel it was as nearly as good of a workout. (But you may consider this a good thing if you don't want an intense workout.) -Their full body workout hardly worked out legs at all aside from some squats. (The bags are for punching only, no kicks involved.) -At the bags, you only work out from one side of your body (like if you're right-handed, your left foot is constantly forward), which is incredibly unbalanced and bad for your alignment in the long run. So if you want to balance your muscles, it's completely up to you to keep count and remember when to switch sides. -Their wraps must have been too short because my knuckles still grated with each punch. Also, the uppercut punches still hurt my wrists despite the wraps and gloves. AMENITIES Pros: -Similar to Barry's, full amenities are offered. There is towel service, plastic bags for wet clothes, and water fountains and bottle refill stations. The ladies' locker room has hair ties, dry shampoo, hairdryers, and lotion. The showers are stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Cons: The locker rooms could use more space around the sinks and just in general. Barry's locker rooms are bigger and have nicer toiletries. CONCLUSION All in all, I found more cons than pros here, personally. Given the price of Rumble vs Barry's Bootcamp is roughly the same, I'd rather spend my money at Barry's, which tends to be a little bit more upscale in amenities and a tougher workout. However, because Rumble is a lighter workout than Barry's, that also means it's less intimidating for those new to this style of circuit training. It's also fine if you like the boxing concept.

Beginner class: I love that they offer free glove rentals for the beginner classes, which is perfect if you're just starting out and don't know yet if you want to commit to purchasing your own gloves/equipment. In Daniel's classes, he always starts with a jump rope warmup (a great workout on its own IMO, even though it's only for a few minutes) and walks the class through the numbered punches before working on some combos together. I have taken some other boxing classes around SF which tend to be more fitness-oriented (like Rumble?), and this class was a bit different since it was more focused on stance and technique, which I really appreciated to help build familiarity and confidence. Gym: My understanding is the gym is still getting up and running, so some of the areas are still unfinished (e.g., one of the restrooms). That being said, the main gym/workout areas are all good to go (as far as I can tell). There are cubbies at the back of the gym which feel safe since they're far away from the main door on Van Ness, curtained off changing areas, restrooms, showers, etc. Location: It's on Van Ness which is relatively easy to get to. There's a MUNI bus stop right outside, and a few other routes around the nearby intersections. With my current schedule, I'm unable to come to Bay Breakers as often as I'd prefer, but I always enjoy the experience here and look forward to coming more often in the future hopefully.

If you want to get better at boxing you gotta learn from a pro, and there's no better pro coaching out of San Francisco right now than Jonathan Chicas. He is still an active fighter and has won 15 out of his 18 fights so far, 7 by knockout, which means a lot to me since you know I'm all about those power shots. But Coach has made sure that I can actually land those shots by teaching me, in just a few weeks, footwork (including Cuban L step!), guard, timing, head movement, defense, proper punch mechanics, and more. My only regret is that I didn't find him sooner because I have spent a lot of time reinforcing bad habits but now with his help I can actually refine my technique and enjoy boxing, which is the whole point. Listen, boxing is one of those sports where your trainer makes or breaks you, because on the surface it's really simple - hit and don't get hit - but there's so much technique in how you move, step, pivot, turn your fists, transfer your weight, the entire kinetic chain from your feet to your hips to your shoulders, and not to mention you gotta make sure your trainer will look out for you and not feed you as sparring bait to fighters. Jonathan Chicas does all this and more, he makes sure my conditioning is good, he holds me to a high standard, he's always teaching me something, professional, laser focused, always giving me that extra training (and homework) and getting the best out of me, and he coaches like a real champion - because he is one. He even reviews my tapes when I'm working the bag or shadowboxing on my own. So yeah head on to Hit Fit SF in the Mission, where he trains (though I'm sure you can work out a different location with him) and work with Jonathan Chicas. Also, if you hang out there regularly you'll get to meet other legends like his own coach, Oscar Rivadeneira, a light heavyweight veteran who fought Michael Spinks for the title. Don't waste your time cardio boxing - learn how to actually fight with power and speed and wisdom and technique and skill. Ultimately he is great at developing my ring IQ and he trains real fighters and he himself is a fighter so who else are you gonna call when you want to improve and learn? Hands up, let's go! Results guaranteed if you work hard. Check out his website: https://www.jonathanchicasboxing.com read more

Exceptional Boxing Trainer! I've been training with Jonathan Chicas for several months now, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From day one, it was evident that Chicas is not just a coach, but a true mentor who is passionate about helping his clients succeed. His extensive knowledge of boxing techniques combined with his personalized approach to training has been incredibly effective. Whether you're a beginner like I was or have previous experience, Chicas tailors each session to your skill level and goals. One of the things I appreciate most is his focus on proper form and technique. He's patient yet firm, ensuring that I understand each movement and its purpose. Under his guidance, I've not only improved my boxing skills but also gained confidence both in and out of the ring. Beyond the physical aspects, Chicas is an excellent motivator. He pushes me to my limits while always being encouraging and supportive. His positive attitude is contagious, making each session not only challenging but also enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend Chicas to anyone looking to improve their boxing skills get in shape, or simply challenge themselves. He's an exceptional trainer who goes above and beyond for his clients, and I'm grateful to have him as my coach. read more

Jonathan truly embodies the art of boxing. You can tell this isn't just a job for him. He's a coach who leads by example and genuinely cares about your growth. He motivates you to be better while making sure you're building the right foundations. If you're serious about learning boxing the right way, reach out and schedule your first session with Jonathan.

There definitely are not enough organized outdoor activities in SF and the ones that do exist have that rigid bootcamp format and a ridiculous drop-in fee. The fact that Bof5s is on the weekends (both Saturdays and Sundays) worked perfectly around my work schedule, there isn't a hefty membership, and it was such a refreshing way to meet people (an alternative to the drinking scene, imagine that!).
