Furloughed federal workers who need to get out a bit of frustration can head to Break It in Fredericksburg for a free session.
Anger management comes in many forms. From therapy to deep breathing, people find calm in different ways. If your preferred method is to go Office Space-level crazy on an unsuspecting printer, then a rage room like Break It might be your dream come true.
What is a Rage Room?
Looking for a place to let off some steam? A rage room may be a good option if you like controlled chaos. This safe space provides clients with breakable items (think glass bottles, outdated tech, furniture, etc.), safety equipment, and the freedom to smash away.
Who can get a free session?
Currently furloughed federal employees (with ID) can email Break It for a free 5-minute session. This is a new offer, so act soon before they have to discontinue it!
If you're not a fed but would still like to try a rage room, book a 5-, 10-, or 15-minute session online. You can even book a Break It party for 60 minutes!
