Empowering Communities Through Fitness
Our Story
Born out of a passion for fostering community and empowering individuals, Eastside Rumble emerged from the ashes of the Astoria Boxing Club, a long-standing non-profit program that once provided a vital safe space for underprivileged youth in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. When funding cuts forced the club to close its doors, a determined group of professionals and entrepreneurs decided to carry on the legacy. This led to the establishment of the Aprons for Gloves Boxing Association and the inaugural Restaurant Rumble, a fight-night fundraiser that raised enough funds to open Eastside Boxing Club in 2012.
