Does anyone know of any non expensive boxing gyms in Manhattan/brooklyn?

look for a PAL (police activities league) boxing gym..

I might check it out.. Probaly go on Monday to see where its at, then sign up if I like it. nice. come on out bro. ill be there tomorrow morning at 9- 12/1ish. if you go later, tell ray that spiegel told you about the place on the boxingscene forum. good luck and hope to see you out soon!

I've been to gleasons before... Only went for 2 months untill money issues came along. Im looking for another gym, because right now College ain't helping, and once I find a job, I aint gonna be able to box as much... Even though I really want to box and try and take it somewhere.

Gleasons is roughly 75-80$ if I remember correctly for Gym dues per month. This is just to be able to use the gym, locker fees add more if you want to use a locker plus most trainers in there charge $20+ per hour though you can negotiate deals with them usually anywhere from 200-400$ per month for training you daily and whatnot. There's a few much cheaper ones I forget the name of it but there used to be one (not sure if it's still there) a few years ago in bed stuy on marcus garvey boulevard. I think it was something like new bedstuy boxing community center or something and it was REAL cheap I mean trainers in there you can give them like a few dozen dollars a month to train you. Then there was this other really cheap one in sunset park..I can't remember the name but the shit was dirt cheap but it was tiny you know. Gleasons is a celebrity gym with tons of celebrity world renowned trainers. Just letting you know what to expect, it's the #1 greatest, most famous, storied gym in the world and it's where ESPN shoots all their boxing shows with bert sugar and raging bull and many other movies were shot there, in fact Gleasons is closed very often due to various filming schedules for movies and shows. That's not always a good thing. Fro what I see, the trainers at Gleason's are top notch, but kind of passive. Understandably so, they deal with thousands and thousands of pnches a day. Unless you're really good that is. It is a great place to be though, if you want to be a fighter. If you can make it at gleason's and be respected an do good in NY you can do anything. I'm probably just biased because I'm used to more personal training, or my amateur coaches who I have a more of a friendship with. From what I've seen, Brotherhood looks to be doing good. Another thing is to look at what neighborhood the gym is in. Especially being a college student. You might walk into some shit, if you know what I mean. I didn't, some time ago, which is a different story lol. Good uck.

I ****ing hate college! So much money! I can't even save for nothing!

I go to kingsway in the city its $130 a month w/ trainer $150 if you want a locker with that but i pay 3 months at a time and its $360 w/ locker so that comes out to $120 a month w/ locker.I think its a good gym been there for about 10 months

I might check it out.. Probaly go on Monday to see where its at, then sign up if I like it.

The brotherhood sounds cool(and awesome price). I'll check them all out and compare and choose. But, i like that you say the dude in the brotherhood does not pamper you.

it varies. for 3 days a week with a trainer it is like 150 a month, which is unheard of. for example, gleasons is like 85 a month (65 if you are a registered amateur fighter with your book) plus like at least an additional 50 bucks per training session. by having training included, you save loot. you can save more if you buy in 3, 4 month, or year long packages. its a great vibe. small, but personal and you'll learn a shit load. seeing world champs and top amateurs do their thing in the gym rubs off, plus its such close quarters that you get to actually interact with them. i love it. come! i met a dude on this forum (in the training section) under the name jaywater39 and got him to join. ask him how he likes it for further info. i dont think that other gym in ridgewood that you are talking about is the one that i go to, btw. ours is called new york boxing, but most people know it as brotherhood, since that is the name that our amateurs fight under.

my gym is the bomb. luis collazo trains there. travis simms and jaidon codrington used to train there. we have a lot of great amateur fighter there. its in ridgewood, queens off the myrtle l train stop. call ray at 718-366-6586. tell him spiegel sent you! its the best deal in the city. training included in membership and no sharks trying to steal you from other trainers, call u "champ" and give you false hopes. ray is brutally honest and thats a good thing. you will get your skills up nicely. the amateur team is called brotherhood, and thats what the vibe is like. we all support each other and work with each other to get better. good luck bro and hope to see you at the gym soon! What's the gym called? I know a gym called GYMU that's in ridgewood. Is it that? Also how much is it monthly? Im looking for a gym bro. I live on Cypress Hill, by the J Train. Let me know boss.

Theres a small boxing gym, about the size of a garage pretty close to my house to, Rockin Rays boxing

I almost forgot there's also Zaragoza Boxing Gym in Brooklyn. I don't know what the cost is to train there.

One in Ridgewood Brooklyn. GYMU.. Im thinking of trying that gym out. Starret City is a pain to get to.. Bus and train :ugh: How much they charge anyway? 80$?

awesome guys. Another guy at my college also suggested Gleasons, so i guess i might check that out.

It depends on your definition of non-expensive. Don't expect to find any private gyms with boxing instruction that charge less than $150/month unless it is the PAL (Police Athletic League). Gleasons is expensive in my opinion, you pay for using the facilities and pay whatever the coach wants to charge you. The other private gyms follow the same format when it comes to pricing. If you are a teenager then look into the PAL (Police Athetic League). You might be able to get away with training there if you are a few years older. There's one in the Bronx that offers boxing and I think also in Harlem. If you are willing to pay $150 - $250 each month for lessons than check out Gleasons Gym (Brooklyn, NY), Church Street Boxing (lower Manhattan), and Kingsway Boxing Gym (midtown Manhattan). I'm not sure what's availaible in Queens at this time.

any boxing club should be cheap..try starrett city or gleasons ..these about 100 in manhattan ..most are little or no charge as long as you really plan on boxing

lol on my way
