Who needs a break the most? 🧘‍♂️🔨

We asked Tyrell Hundley, owner of Rage Cage, which group of people frequents his smash room the most. His answer shows that stress doesn't discriminate:

"I think it's a mix, a variety... you have single parents, single moms, single dads come in. Families come in, or groups, birthday parties... just a variety of people that come in and just have different rage or just different things they want to release here."

From overwhelmed parents to groups celebrating a unique birthday, spaces like this are becoming a common ground for anyone looking to reset and let go of daily pressures. 💥

"Excitement. You see the smile on their face... people come in and just say, 'Oh, like, I didn't know I had that much rage in me.' And hearing that... it's exciting, and I'm definitely grateful that I can provide a different type of excitement here downtown Joliet."

It turns out that breaking things doesn't just clear the mind; it leaves people shocked by how much tension they were actually carrying. 🥰🔨
