Anything that performs a genuinely useful social thing with members of the local community can play a role in spreading local class consciousness. Here in the UK back in the day these were working men's clubs, which were both drinking venues and connected to various local sports activities.
The fightclubs that the fascists are constructing are modernising the format of working men's clubs (I guarantee they're 100% male) and embedding themselves in the local community. The role that these working men's clubs can play in a community hasn't changed, just the aesthetics of them hasn't ever updated so they've declined. In particular it's not really obvious why you should join one, whereas it is pretty obvious why you would join a gym for self improvement.
