Now that I'm out of college and done with running, I want to really get serious about boxing. I dabbled in some self taught methods a few years ago, but quickly had to drop them because a) there was no gym and I was teaching myself bad habits and b) running was paying for my scholarship, therefore, focusing on any other athletic activity was jeopardizing my performance. I still have been using the heavy bag for conditioning from time to time and reading/ watching videos tons, but haven't actually trained at all.
So I went to a boxing gym yesterday to check it out and try to talk with someone about beginning training. It wasn't exactly what I expected, as it was some sort of boxing fitness class, and the trainer just basically grabbed me and had me jump in, I worked out for about an hour, and then he was asking people if they wanted to sign up. Not really my cup of tea since I want to actually be competitive and technically sound. If I want fitness, I'll just go work out myself with all of my bad habits and suck but look smexy.
That said I have tons of questions but here are the main ones:
What are some key things to look for/ questions to ask of a trainer?
What price range should I be expecting to pay?
Do most gyms allow you to come and go at your own convenience once you have a membership? Or do you only come as often as your trainer or classes are offered?
Do you recommend classes starting out? Or is 1 on 1 the way to go from the beginning?
Is anybody on here from the Atlanta area and have any recommendations?
