Muhammed Ali, 1984

THE RIOT PROCEDURE.
-
BE EARLY OR BE LATE.
We ask that you arrive at the gym 15 minutes before your RIOT class is due to start. This is so your induction can be safely carried out before you get stuck in.
-
GLOVE UP.
We ask that you bring your own pair of gloves to classes for hygiene reasons. We can lend you a RIOT pair for your first class or if you’re getting a feel for what we offer. We sell both boxing gloves AND wraps in the gym. Ask a team member to purchase.
-
GET READY.
Come prepared to sweat your stress away - and then some. Bring a bottle of water or purchase one from inside the gym, and anything else you might need to aid your RIOT experience (hand towel, Apple Watch e.g.)
One thing you certainly won’t need… headphones.
THE STUDIO
This is where we are a little different from the rest.
We’ve designed a feel-good space, where you can escape from the daily grind and sweat your stress away. The lighting is similar to what you’d find in a nightclub, dim and dark with bursts of strobes and neon, so you can hide away and immerse yourself in your ‘zone’.
We use the newest aqua punchbags which have taken boxing, martial arts & fitness communities by storm. Filled with water, the high-quality vinyl skin offers you less joint pain on impact. You can punch these as hard as you can & they don’t punch back…
Imagine strobe lights, intense and boundary-breaking music, a pair of boxing gloves, and YOU.
Now that’s a RIOT.
THE TRAINERS
Riot classes are delivered by our expert trainers: a group of likeminded individuals with one common goal, making you glad you got out of bed.
They are all qualified Personal Trainers & are dedicated to ensuring you leave each session feeling better than you did when you came in. Our trainers or all personable and approachable, but with that added “I’m going to push you to your limits” attitude.
Our trainers are part of the RIOT family, come and join them.
THE CLASSES
Each class lasts 45 minutes, so you can be in & out within the hour: a small price to pay for those endorphins. We have classes before & after work with classes on weekends. This means you can make RIOT a regular part of your life with minimal disruption to your routine.
It is quite common for fitness newcomers to fall prey to overtraining – a condition in which your body at best hits a plateau and at worst enters a full-blown catabolic state…
If you work hard enough, a 45-minute session is more than enough time to complete a really effective workout to build muscle and strip fat.
Train hard. Train smart.
THE MUSIC
We’ve installed a banging sound system so you can lose yourself in our specially curated playlist. We take our music seriously & want you to be motivated & inspired by it.
Mixed by our very own RIOT DJ, we blend the old skool with the new. From Stormzy and Kanye West, to Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Eminem…
We bring the tunes, you bring your A game.
THE EQUIPMENT
We recommend you bring your own pair of gloves (for hygiene purposes), we can lend you a pair for your first class…
but we sell gloves! You can grab a pair at the front of RIOT from a team member. We also suggest you purchase your own pair of wraps to protect your hand and to make the workout more comfortable. You can buy these from us when you arrive & use again & again.
Wrap up, go flat out.
