I really need some help I look everywhere on the internet and there are no real boxing gyms around here that I can find maybe some long time boxing fans and experts can help me out with finding one! A good one I want to fight.
Man I used to go to cappy's, really didn't like it too much. Not much actual training going on, it just didn't seem like a real gym. On top of that their prices were rediculous. I've been also trying to find a real gym ever since and I don't even live in Seattle anymore, but i'd drive up there to box.
Maybe Cappy's has gone downhill. Now that I'm thinking more about it, I've heard bad reviews the past year or two. But before that I heard great reviews for about 5+ years.
I swear credit boxing guy looked liked it the boxing went down in the garage area. Azteca might be a good one to check out I think there only open from 5pm-9pm
Azteca is also open from 10a-1p or so. An assistant trainer opens up and trains people. Head trainer only comes in at night

If you live in the white boy North Seattle area, there's also the Uppercut Boxing Gym.
Here's the bio on the trainer of that gym:

I think Robert Shannon is the trainer at MatChess MMA now in Ballard I think.
Depends what you're looking for.
Cappys (Capital Hill) Most famous boxing gym in seattle. most classes are just fitness now. actual boxing lessons are at night but they do have an ameteur team. Queen Underwood's from here and she's trying to make it to the olympics. Expensive as hell. ranging from 126-150
Seattle Boxing Studio (Capital Hill): Opened up within the last few years. New Head Trainer is an amateur boxer. fitness and lessons. nice little underground gym. expensive though. ranging from 125-150. I think they're trying to compete with Cappys
Azteca Boxing Club (Renton): has amateur champs, a few pro's, a real boxing gym. no "boxing style" fitness classes here. I go here once in awhile. Walter Wright from the Contender trains here with his own trainer every so often. $70 month unlimited.
Bumblee Boxing (Seattle, the 'hood part, lol): No nonsense, straight boxing lessons. talk back to the trainer 200 pushups. forget equipment, 300 pushups etc etc. $50 i think. Trainer at Seattle boxing Studio is from this gym. Head trainer "bumble bee" trained under Eddie Futch.
Credit Boxing: a much smaller gym and trains out of a Judo studio. located in Renton
Ballard Barbell and Boxing Club: A new gym that has boxing and crossfit
There are a few others that are mixed with MMA etc. but the ones I mentioned are the ones that I know are just boxing (within Seattle)
Go on Boxrec / Google and see if any Boxers live in Seattle and try to find out where they train. I doubt you will find a "pro" gym (aka a run down shack that is serious). But you will probably find "Hollywood" gyms with fake boxers and MMA guys who dance around alot and get a nice strawberry shake at the Gym's Bar at the end of their crazy workout. Fissspump!
How far you willing to drive? If you want to become pro then you must move, if its just for exercize just join a gym or go a seedy part of town and try to find something there. Is there even a seedy part of Seattle? inb4 someone says "yea the place with only 3 Starbucks per block instead of the usual 9"
Like Pac-Boy said, LOOK AROUND!! Ask around. Google. Shadow box in the corner of your street and hope someone notices and tells you where the boxing gym is located.
