Boxing Gyms in NYC

[nystate0fm1nd]

Gleasons is damn expensive. To pay for a trainer is almost like paying rent. You might as well go to a PAL or local gym and get noticed in sparring and get a trainer that way.

I agree. I mean if you're just starting out you got a LOT to learn and if you were to go right in and spar its very likely you will get hurt. I mean, if you got the money and want to learn some stuff, go for it. Personally I don't have money and time to spare on that BS with all the expenses I already have. I can go into a gym and throw some straight punches. I'd rather train by myself and get to spar a little bit than pay a trainer obscene amounts of money.


At my old gym I just worked out on my own, this old guy would show me some stuff while he was working out too, and then I would just randomly spar with people that were in the gym. That's when the trainer would tell me what I was doing wrong and I'd do my best to work on it on my own. The new gym I went to ****** a lot. No one was there except weight lifters. When I would try and go in the ring with one of my buddies they used to yell at us every time and say we couldn't spar unless a trainer was around (there was never a trainer around when I went either). That would piss me off so much. It's hard to find a good gym man...

word.. gleasons is alot of money.. at my PAL the head trainer works with me on my technique for about an hour every night even after the other trainers worked with me on the pads and the bags.. becuz i make sure im the last one to leave.. all u gotta do at a PAL is show u are dedicated and they dedicate to you

the PAL is free and the city PALs have just as many golden gloves finalists as gleasons every year.. and when the trainer is free they have love for the game and training fighters is what they really love to do .. not for a paycheck so u know they dont mind working with you

I've never paid a trainer and the most I've paid for a gym was $50 (once, and never again) and I can beat people up. If you're a n00b and you're paying out your butt to learn, you're wasting your money.

boxing for a beginner

It depends what you're looking to do and how much you're able to afford. If you're doing it for the workout and you're able to swing it, try my club, the Trinity Boxing Club. We charge more than a lot of clubs, but we deliver more as well. We cater primarily to a white collar crowd. If you're looking to compete, log on to www.usaboxingmetro.com for a list of clubs in the city. USA Boxing does a great job with the amateur program in NY, and they can help you find the gym that's right for you.

I am new to NYC and i am looking to take up boxing i was wondering if anybody could recommend any good boxing gyms for beginners in manhattan.

Thanks
