Rumble Gym is London’s first carbon-neutral boutique fitness and wellness studio. Rumble opened their doors in Dalston in January 2020 to offer Londoners a spectacular spectrum of training options; from spinning to sparring and deadlifts to detoxes. Spread across five luxury spaces and studios, Rumble Gym - which is part of the R2 Fitness Group – combines cutting-edge training with the latest technology, all under one roof for the ultimate fitness experience. What further sets the boutique gym apart is that Rumble not only cares about improving the minds and bodies of the people who walk through the door, but also about improving and protecting the planet on which they live on, hence, for every class or session a client books, a tree is planted to help offset their carbon footprint. This, combined with other eco-friendly initiatives such as sustainably sourced products and no single-use plastic on site, makes it a gym with a conscience. Rumble Gym recognises that fitness has fast become more of a lifestyle and a social experience which is why we have worked hard to create an unrivalled gym interior in the heart of East London that combines a local industrial feel – concrete and black metal – with the cosiness and warmth of wood, copper, bronze and greenery. Reception area is surrounded by indoor trees and planters with greenery are used as a removable separation wall between reception/entrance & main gym floor. Journey into spin, boxing and main gym floor area is led through 2 corridors, one with neon RUMBLE sign across the ceiling and another one though all around multi-colour LED lit tunnel. Rumble’s main gym floor is versatile and can transform from one big open space (to host dual or triple training concepts as well as boxing/sparring workshops in its removable boxing ring), or the area can convert into 2 separate studios with the help of foldable dark-tinted mirrored partitions. Generous 6m high ceiling and full height windows not only make one enjoy the feeling of spaciousness but allowed Rumble to include a climbing wall as part of its training. Situated on the ground floor, Rumble ‘s open area benefits from natural sun light during the day. All studios have multi-coloured LED lights and different ambiances. Rumble Gym’s Yoga studio hosts the first Schumann Resonance and Gamma Frequency infused classes in all of the UK and Europe. Those frequencies spread into the studio aim to correct imbalances in the body’s bio-electric field and alleviate acute and chronic health conditions by training the human brainwave rhythms to synchronise with the Earth’s natural pulse; Schumann Resonance is set to be a real hit with Londoners. Gamma Frequency aims similarly to increase memory recall, sensory perception, and focus, as well as sharpen vision and hearing. Arguably nature’s best anti-depressant, an increase of Gamma brain waves contributes to a state of peak performance and a feeling of calm. The mezzanine leading to the superb changing and shower rooms, gives furthermore an arena feel and perfect viewpoints when the boxing ring is installed below it. Ultimately, the ethos of Rumble Gym is to offer consumers a space where they can train exactly how they like and on their terms; using the latest and best equipment, from the likes of Woodway and Keiser, under the instruction of some of the most experienced trainers out there. Whether through its classes - Boxing, HIIT, Treading, Spinning, Yoga, Cross-fitness - or the gym’s climbing wall – Rumble Gym is the latest one-stop-shop offering a city fitness experience like no other.
