I am curios to know besides Freddy, what trainers are there that are good? Also what are there rates?
I am from Canada but am planning to visit either New York, Arizona or California and curios to know how good are trainers at wild card besides Freddie who I assume wont teach non-world champions which is understandable.
He is like Roachs side kick I dont even know if he trains anyone by himself, he basically just trains them while Roach Collects the check and takes credit for it on fight night.
Well, that's what apprentices usually do .
When Freddie is retired, look for him to run that gym.
Freddie's older brother has had a few strokes.
He wouldn't be doing it .
Marvin trained Provodnikov by himself afaik when he won his belt.
Marvin Somodio, the short Filipino is pretty good imo.
He was an amateur standout .

Hectari is kind of right but there is a lot of good trainers who come through there with their fighters who arnt In house trainers they won’t train you. My man Malcolm is a good in house trainer and Freddy usto get me on mits back in the day but yeah he’s too busy now, still a decent a gym to get good sparring in.
My friend used to train there back when singer Aimee mann was a regular before pacquiao blew up and an influx of casuals came in, he said he couldnt take it and understood its great for roach because before pacquiao he was struggling to pay the gym, and now wildcard is a hotspot for hipsters.
He trained at fortune gym but now he just trains at an mma gym he doesnt live in la anymore
But he told me roach would bang some of the hot chicks who trained there lol.

That sucks!
I heard Gleason has some amazing trainers and I like the idea of a gym having many great trainers and not just one good trainer and the rest being fillers.
Yeah, wild card is also overcrowded with rich white collar types and female instagram models trying to get in shape. No real serious trainers only roach and brown who trains tyrone woodley, rashad holloway doesnt even train outta wild card anymore and he been there since 2003, he trains out of box n burn in santa monica he trains tiny fergurson of the ufc, he gets paid more training celebs and models.
Freddie is the only good trainer the rest are some crack head type trainers who are garbage, I dont even think Brown trains out of there I think he moved on to Wildcard west a private gym near Santa Monica which an offshoot of wild card hollywood
The ony other guy is Marvin Somodio but he is just Roaches sidekick.

Sounds to me, as if you've been there already.
I have never been there, I just assume that Freddy is too busy dealing with prospects and not up and comers.
