Rare Breed: Boxing, Fitness & Recovery Gym - Mordialloc (VIC)

5 /5 Charisse Buena: I was lucky enough to have won RareBreed’s competition in May where I got to try unlimited classes for 3 weeks (plus other amazing inclusions). I’ve never done boxing before, however after doing the beginners intro with Kemal, a PT session with Joel and attending a lot of the Skills and Drills classes led by Jimmy, Brod, Gwayne and Ray soon after, my technique improved immensely. The Rare Breed classes are intense but rewarding once completed. Definitely enjoyed the Recovery sessions as well! I absolutely love the energy/vibe of the place. The staff and trainers are supportive, dedicated and genuinely care about your progress. The members are welcoming and awesome. I obviously signed up and became a member (after having withdrawals of not having done any classes for a week after the competition prize finished lol). I highly recommend this gym. It’s a place you’d feel right at home with.

5 /5 Hugh Hunter: I’m a long-distance runner, and most of my fitness routine has always revolved around endurance training. I do realise though that incorporating cardio and core work into my training makes a huge difference, and it gives me the strength and fitness base to push harder and find that extra kick during races. When I saw Rare Breed advertised, I decided to try their one-week introductory program. The introductory programme cost little more than a cup of coffee a day, so I thought, why not? From the very first class, I was impressed by both the sessions and the trainers. The training combines full-body conditioning techniques used by boxers, delivering a really good workout for both the upper and lower body and at the same time focussing on building core strength. What stands out for me is the variety of classes and the Rare Breed team. Every session is led by skilled trainers who make sure I’m working safely whilst encouraging and ensuring that I am getting the most out of each workout. Probably the best endorsement I can give is that by the third day of my trial, I converted to a full membership. Since joining Rare Breed, I’ve noticed my overall fitness improve significantly, and as expected from cardio and core work, it is having a positive effect on my running performance.

5 /5 Kieran Cook: Great gym, fantastic coaching and facilities are lovely and modern. Schedule fits really well with full time 9-5 working. Would highly recommend for anyone who hasn’t given boxing a go!

5 /5 Eliza-Rose Hoskin: the best gym ever!! Always wanted to box and this is the perfect environment for all levels of fitness. New challenges every week and the trainers are so supportive and welcoming- so grateful to have found this gym and for how much it has healed my relationship with exercise.
