View Full Version : Thinking about joining a gym Evil_Meat 09-06-2006, 10:51 PM I've been shadowboxing and hitting the heavy bag for a while now and i think im going to join a gym. I've boxed once before and had A LOT of fun and id really like to become a boxer. The gym is open mon-fri for a short time every day, how many hours should be spent in a gym each day to get some good training? phallus 09-06-2006, 10:55 PM I've been shadowboxing and hitting the heavy bag for a while now and i think im going to join a gym.

The gym is open mon-fri for a short time every day, how many hours should be spent in a gym each day to get some good training? i like your name...for a guy starting out, a couple hours in the gym each day is probably good enough, but if you're having fun in there ( i love training ) stay for as long u can.

I understand some people go to commercial gyms where there's equipment and you do what you wanna do. Some gyms (like mine) you go and the trainer tells you what to do for how many rounds.

Mine is 70 a month, there a several pro fighters and a handful of very talented amateurs there. "including myself" Check some credentials. It's not how many champions come out of a gym, see what the atmosphere is like talk to the trainers and fighters in the gym to see what there knowledge level is. And how much they have to teach. Also see how much sparing time you can get. nothing and I mean nothing compares to sparing when training to box. Evil_Meat 09-07-2006, 07:23 PM just got back from checking the gym out, probably gonna end up starting monday, can't wait!! the330ballers 09-21-2006, 06:01 PM Some trainers will rob you with the gym dues. 77 sounds about right for me.

Unless there is a boxing culture where you live, chances are there are not many boxing clubs from which to chose. Joe Frazier's book Box Like The Pros will give you some guidelines to evaluating gyms and trainers. However, if you have talent and you want to learn, you will overcome whatever deficiencies the local clubs may have.
