Best boxing gyms in Indianapolis: find options near you

This was a good workout, good time and overall good experience! I didn’t know I was going to be wore out but the Intro level cardio and intensity was awesome and much needed. Bria was a great facilitator! And the queen at the front desk was also welcoming and professional. Im looking forward to returning for a consist routine and learning experience on the intro level. I highly recommend for the slow motion gym goers or those who need that extra push for fun. This excitement gets you pumped up mentally and physically.

I absolutely love Rumble Boxing! The energy in the studio is unmatched—every class feels like a mix of a killer workout and a fun experience. The coaches are motivating, knowledgeable, and make sure you feel comfortable whether it’s your first time or your hundredth. The music keeps you going, the workouts push you to your limits, and you leave feeling stronger every single time. I’ve seen amazing progress in both my strength and endurance since joining. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a workout that’s effective, exciting, and never boring!

My intro class was a fantastic introduction into boxing. Now after 7 more classes, I can confidently say Rumble is a great place to grow your skills. I’ve been with three different instructors, Bria, Dom and Cole -who’ve all had a unique charm to their classes. Amenities are clean and the team is always warm and welcoming. Highly recommend giving them a try. 🙂

My only regret is not joining up sooner – big fan of Rumble Boxing and the North Indy location. The classes are super engaging for all levels, the community is so great, and in particular shout out Sunday’s Advanced Boxing classes! Thank you to the staff and coaches, appreciate y’all

My dad & I have been coming here for a few months and we absolutely love it! I exercise fairly regularly, but he hadn’t exercised in a few years and he had no problems with the pace of the classes. Class sizes are reasonable and the employees call us by name, which helps make things feel a lot more personal. I highly recommend Rumble for anyone looking to change (or even start) their fitness journey!

We have been coming to Rumble for 6 weeks now and we love it! From the start Bria was very friendly and explained everything! She’s awesome but so are all the other trainers! It’s easy to feel comfortable no matter what level you’re at!
The workouts are bad ass, & they make you feel so good! Some are more intense than others, but it get better every week!
My favorite part is “freestyle” you can hit that bag away!
Definitely recommend these classes, because WHY NOT! Oh and very affordable. Plus they always have specials you can take advantage of!
So stop wyd and book now!

I had my first experience ever with group exercise/classes at Rumble a week ago and I absolutely loved it! I was so intimidated going in because I didn’t know what to expect but once I arrived I knew I was in the right place! My trainer Bria called me the day before to confirm my training and to answer any questions that I may have before arriving and her energy was EVERYTHING! She made me feel some comfortable I can’t thank her and the rest of the Rumble family for making my experience so amazing! I even met some new friends! If you have thought about taking a class at Rumble I’d highly suggest it. Sign up for an intro class today, you won’t regret it!

30 minute hit is amazing! I was looking for something new to try for a workout that wasn’t like a normal gym, and always wanted to get into something that was related to learning defense, and this fitness place has been exactly what I was looking for. All of the trainers and women I’ve met are incredible people! I always feel so much stress relief and a sense of achievement after working out here.

Had a great 1st trial session with Alex!! I enjoyed the workout, the conversation and the knowledge! ❤️

30 minute hit is so much more than a gym. The energy and support from everyone is amazing!
Great workout, gain strength and confidence, new friendships… just a few of the things you will experience!

Give it a try! Sign up for a 30 minute free trial. You won’t regret it!

Favorite things:

– Ladies only (not something I knew I’d love until I tried it out!)
– Great workout!
– No set class times (can’t be late if you hit that traffic)
– Location is awesome!
– The best of fitness boutique classes with the best of a regular gym membership
– Options to hit at home for traveling or snow days
– Kid area
– The trainers are always on the floor helping challenge you and coach technique
– Best VIBE ever with everyone cheering and supporting each other
– Hitting things makes you feel better!
– It’s fun and stress relieving

This place literally saved me!! I was going through a very difficult time, did the free work out and I was hooked. Everyone is super awesome, very nice, happy to see you, and very helpful. Give it a try it’s fun, and really quick to get your work out in.

Update to the review:

400 hits later and this is still my happy place. The trainers, the women, the experience is all AMAZING.

This is the most welcoming environment with fantastic trainers. The best and most fun I’ve ever had working out. Women (and Matt) empowering women!!

The only thing better than the stellar full body workout is the awesome community and exceptional staff. 10/10!

Edited to add: I’m more than a year in. I’m exceptionally stronger and I’ve made life long friends. Book your free trial! It is so much more than a gym. ❤

ETA: my husband wanted me to add that he loves hearing about everything I’m learning, that he’s very proud of the dedication and focus 30MH has provided me, and that all the people he’s met from there are awesome. I agree with him!

Joining this boxing gym has been a wonderful experience for both my son and my I! From day one, we were welcomed by the coaches and members, creating a supportive environment for all ages. The gym goes beyond teaching boxing—it instills discipline, encourages personal growth, and emphasizes respect inside and outside the ring. What makes it special is the strong sense of family; kids, teens, and adults train side by side, celebrating every milestone together!

My kids love coming here! I wouldn’t recommend any other place but here. Tony and his other trainers are amazing with the kids. It’s not just boxing my kids are learning but also different life principles/disciplines that are essential for kids to learn now to later thrive in their adult years. There’s always positive energy here!

EXCELLENT Training & Exercising facility. Excellent coaching from both Tony & Estoshia (owners). I love having a day for just the ladies on Saturday to get our workout in, it’s as challenging as throughout the week.

My son has been coming for about two years and he has learned so much from the coaching staff and gained many friends through the experiences from competition. They treat kids as if they were they own to make them better. Life lessons go a long way. We are here to stay!

I stopped by while in town for work, and it was an incredible experience! The facility is clean, well-equipped, and has a great atmosphere that’s both welcoming and motivating. The owners are incredible – they’re passionate, supportive, and have an overall great vibe that makes you want to come back. This is definitely the place to go and I’ll be back next time I’m in town!

awesome coach and love the way he teaches my girls the way of boxing! 10/10 recommend this gym for anyone wanting to get into boxing or get their kids into boxing

My boys have been going to Big Walk for about a year now. My boys have grown to love their gym family and the sport boxing. Coach Tony believes in discipline and making sure it’s instilled in the kids.Discipline is the number one rule to any sport!

If you want to learn to fight (for real) or get in shape or lose a few pounds, or just meet some cool ppl, this is the gym to go to. They have lots of class times to choose from, coaches that will push you but are also super friendly and down to earth, and their prices beat any other boxing / fighting gym. Everyone gets a free class to try it out so what do you have to lose?

Im ready to join I need to get in shape and be the best I can be. I’m getting old but my body still feels young.. Lol

This gym is hard, he forces you to give the best of yourself
It can be hard in the beginning but when you complete it, you feel it, you feel the satisfaction and the change in your body and your combat skill.
It’s the best one I’ve ever gone to.

I go to this gym, coaches are very helpful when it comes to learning form and proper motions. coaches are on you at all times, helping you push pass your limits, coaches go beyond, plus they’re ultra respectful for all

This is Hands down the best gym I have ever been to. Coaches are attentive and patient with new comers, and their competitive levels are incredible. I would recommend this gym to anyone! Owner is super down to earth and an all around great guy!

It was good. My son appreciated the workout he got while attending the boxing class. Price is great for the class. Can use some cleanup, but no one said boxing is a clean sport!

Two stars because there are very good coaches here. However they aren’t usually around and are usually selective with who they train when they are. Pretty disheartening when you show up to the gym, jump rope for 30 minutes, shadow box for 25 minutes with minimal instructor input. If I had no experience I’d be totally lost, possibly solidifying bad habits cause no one is looking. Might as well just work out at home.

An excellent organization with a very enthusiastic and supportive staff of people. Highly recommend.

Very welcoming and friendly. Eager to connect and help!

I have Parkinson Disease and attend RSB twice a week. The work outs are invigorating and the staff and volunteers are wonderful. I enjoy the comoderity with the others in the class.

Rock Steady Boxing Indy is the best medicine for Parkinson’s.

I’ve never been to Rock Steady Boxing but I’ve got to say the staff is amazing. My stepfather goes every week for his Parkinsons and my Mom takes him. This week my Mom is in ICU and we called to let them know they wouldn’t be there. The staff sent her beautiful flowers. Very thoughtful! I know why they love going so much. Thank you!!!

A really good place to get some physical therapy for Parkinson’s Disease patients. Good people, caring, honest oh, but a bit expensive on the monthly basis, $60. If you can afford it, and you have symptoms that are problematic, you should definitely go there.

Best place around for those with Parkinson’s Disease to get some exercise with experienced coaches and helpful staff and devoted volunteers to assist as needed. Has been very beneficial to my husband for the past two years.

Our grandson started at this place maybe 2months ago and I am very impressed. These owners in my experience and view are nothing short of amazing. They run a business with dedication, passion and integrity.

I can’t recommend SRG enough! I’d been dealing with scoliosis for years, and there were times when I could barely stand up straight due to the pain. Thanks to strength training with Suzana at SRG, my life has completely changed. Her expertise and personalized approach to my workouts have made a world of difference.

For over five years, I haven’t needed to see a chiropractor — a huge milestone for me! Suzana is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also motivating. She really takes the time to understand my body and helps me push past my limits in a safe and effective way.

Both of my sons attended the teen classes, and they absolutely loved it! Suzana and the other adults are great at engaging and motivating the kids, making fitness fun while also teaching them proper techniques. It was rewarding to see them develop confidence and strength through the classes.

If you’re struggling with pain or looking to improve your overall strength and health, or you have kids that are interested in boxing and some healthy habits, SRG is the place to be!

SRG Boxing n Personal Training is SECOND TO NONE!!! Indianapolis is lucky to have this facility. Parents, go join this gym! Bring your boys AND your girls to learn how to box. Suzana and Darnell will build them, and YOU, into CHAMPIONS.

I am so glad I found this gym while looking for boxing lessons.
My session with Suzana was very enjoyable, engaging, and informative. She was very passionate and knowledgeable. Her positive attitude and motivation left me feeling energized and empowered.

SRG is a Hidden Gem! The owners/trainers are very knowledgeable and passionate. This is a diverse, family atmosphere fueled by hard work, encouragement and love. Everything one needs in a gym if results are truly the objective. No matter if you’re 26 or 62, world class athlete or couch potato…Suzana and Darnell are phenomenal. BEWARE: The after effects of a good workout are addictive! Replace a bad habit with a good one by joining SRG! Thank me later

It’s been a Life-changing experience with Darnell Griffin. The hard work has definitely paid off. He goes above and beyond with the training, meal planning assistance, and sharing his positive views and outlook on life in general. The trainers at SRG are AMAZING!

Awesome 24/7 gym to practice to sweet science or just lift heavy weights. It’s a small mom n pop gym a nice break from thy commercial gyms. A great small business to support if you live nearby. They have showers as well so that’s a plus.

Ced’s Boxing Gym has been a motivating force in achieving my health goals. I joined 5 weeks ago and have already seen improvement in my fitness. The atmosphere is very welcoming and Coach Ced, staff, and members are very supportive. I enjoy the boxing fitness workout, as it keeps me focused and accountable. Highly recommmeded. Thanks Coach Ced.

Ced’s Boxing Academy is amazing. You’re not just learning how to throw punches. You’re learning breath control, balance, endurance, all while developing muscle groups that you didn’t even know you had! An incredible workout, and an incredible facility. I’ve really enjoyed learning to use the different equipment, and learning the purpose of each exercise. Ced keeps you motivated, confident, and pushes you to new limits!

I don’t know where to start. Working out with Ced’s has been life changing… Everything has improved…Blood pressure, energy, movement and happiness just to name a few things. As I reach 70yrs old in a few months I’m in the best shape of my adult life and I credit joining Ced’s Boxing Academy.

So, as with everything, there are pros and cons to this gym.

The pros:

The gym is owned by Mr. Cedric Johnson, a former professional boxer. So, as you can imagine, he has a tremendous amount of boxing wisdom to pass on.

The gym, itself, is great. The equipment is solid, the gym is clean, and there is a ring, too.

You can have great workouts and tailor your workouts to your needs.

There are a lot of great people here and the atmosphere is very welcoming.

Mr. Johnson provides a safe atmosphere for kids to come and train.

The cons:

Although Mr. Johnson has a lot to offer his clients by way of boxing knowledge, he does very little instruction.

Many of the guys and kids who go to the gym, don’t get much direction or technical instruction, so they end up doing their own thing. This is unfortunate, because there is so much to learn in boxing.

Mr. Johnson has his select group of individuals he pours into, and it’s obvious to everyone else in the gym.

So, overall, the gym is clean and the equipment is solid. You’re able to get a good workout, but don’t expect to be poured into.

Great gym to be apart of. I’ve seen members from ages 8 to 82 and everyone loves it. Great open gym atmosphere. The gym is however starting to focus on creating more of a fitness atmosphere giving the best of both worlds. Coaches are available and instructive but again, it is Open Gym. But if you’re serious about learning to box, they do offer private 1 on 1’s.

I had join this gym back in 2020 and it became my 2nd home I was in there consistently 4 days a week and multiple times some days. Coach Ced is a great guy and I miss the gym but no longer live closer. Highly recommend this gym to anyone

Joining Ced’s Boxing Academy has been the very best thing I could have done for my physical health. This is an amazing atmosphere that not only promotes health and wellness but also interpersonal growth. The workouts are fantastic and I can now sit and cross my leg!!

The coach there is so Disrespectful and he will call you slow in stupid then play you like he got a problem with you after you come to him and apologize he act like you a bad person

Very good and nice atmosphere, very professional coach.

Great Place

Good boxing gym
