Rebel Athletic Club in Boston

Rebel Athletic Club has great energy and tough, rewarding workouts. The coaches are super motivating and explain everything very well. Highly recommend if you want to stay motivated.

I’ve been to numerous group fitness classes and Rebel is my absolute favorite! It is a well designed , lead by professional fitness coaches workout sessions that are motivating and effective! I’m guaranteed a great workout for every 45 minutes I spent there

Rich and team at Rebel are absolutely world class! Every coach here is among the best I have ever trained with. The upbeat and encouraging environment with a focus on pushing everyone is a great recipe for incredible workouts! On top of that, this gym truly goes above and beyond with planning workouts. There is always attention to detail with each class. Capping each class at 10 also feels like a perfect size class. Truly enjoy getting my ass kicked 5 days a week here!

My only regret is not joining sooner! I’ll admit that I was intimidated by this small group gym that I couldn’t walk into and inquire about, but the small classes (11 people max) are the best part! The owner, Rich, thoughtfully curates all of the classes and has a great team of coaches. All of the equipment is up to date, and the classes are repetitive enough to demonstrate a lot of progress, but variable enough to keep you interested and excited about the unknown of what you’re getting into that day. Having an infrared sauna to unwind with is great, too! I jumped in with one of the transformation challenges offered to have progress tracked with in-body scans and nutrition support. This was helpful for getting started, but the classes and good atmosphere are definitely what will keep me around for as long as I’m living in Southie!

Rich Rowland and Rebel Athletic Club are simply the best! He is the most engaged, skilled, and effective personal coach I have ever worked with. Over the course of the past four months, Rich has dramatically increased my strength, range of motion, and stability while exercising. I have never felt better. The one-on-one sessions with Rich fly by even though they are jam packed. He has an incredibly knack of increasing the work you are doing while making these tough sessions truly fun. I genuinely look forward to each workout! Friends also attend his classes at Rebel Athletic Club and all have said the same. The small group classes are challenging, effective, and incredibly engaging. If you want to improve your strength, fitness and even your confidence, Rich meets you where you are and gets you to your goals—smiling all the way.

I absolutely love this gym! I've been going for almost 2 months now and I've noticed such a difference in my strength and muscle tone. The trainers are great and very engaged throughout the class, correcting form and giving motivation. I highly recommend this gym to all my friends especially those that have busy schedules and lack motivation to push themselves at a standard gym. These classes are quick but killer and you'll leave dripping in sweat each time.

I joined Rebel Athletic Club as a member six months ago to prioritize more strength training in my workout routine and have seen more improvements during my time as a member than in any other fitness routine I’ve committed to. I love the consistent circuit formats of the classes and the thoughtfully curated workouts. There is a clear focus with each individual exercise, the overall circuit and the week-over-week progressions. I really like the small class size because of the focus the trainers are able to have on correcting and improving your form. The trainers are all amazing and bring a unique style to their classes and an energy that will motivate anyone to commit to that early morning workout. What I love most about Rebel is the great community of trainers and members that Rich and team have created. If you are looking to level up your fitness with intentional and challenging workouts in a really welcoming and fun environment, I highly recommend joining Rebel.

I absolutely love Rebel Gym! I’ve been a member since it first opened, and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health and fitness. Rich, the owner, is truly amazing—he’s kept me on track, especially during a time when I was out due to an injury (not gym-related!). He checked in on me regularly and never stopped offering support, which meant a lot. The class setting is top-notch, filled with great energy and even better people. The music has definitely leveled up since our days of Eminem on repeat—haha, sorry Rich! I’ve lost a ton of weight and I’m continuing to get stronger every day. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a supportive, motivating, and fun fitness community! ❤️TIFF
