i been thinking about boxing calling up some gyms
they have personal trainers there but they are like $75 and up for an hour of training
i do have income but its not much maybe i should get an extra job on the side or something but i dont want to spend so many hours on working and then not be motivated to train...

i was wondering how often you should see a personal trainer ? do you train your self for most of the times ?

i feel like i need alot of help i have no experience at all and i know people who been boxing all they life i know its going take me a while for me to get on their level...

how is it like when you first start going to a boxing gym ?

How old are you?

The first time I went to a gym they beat the **** outta me. So be prepared.

If you live in California I'll some boxing but you need to just join a local amateur gym those personnel trainers will rip you off at $ 75 personnel trainer don't know boxing they just help professional fighters get in shape

hahaha what are you guys talking about. You guys are acting like its some huge step and some beastly accomplishment to go to a boxing gym. **** no, its peanuts. Its like going anywhere youve never been before thats it. Now if you are talking about your first time sparring it is a bit different or your first fight

Just try some different trainers until you find one you connect with. I've had some excellent trainers who didn't speak my language and I've had others who make complete sense and teach me more in one hour than another might do in a half dozen sessions.

As far as what to expect, expect to bust your ass and forget what you think you know.

LOL true. You could stop by any boxing gym and pay 5 bucks just to check it out that day, hit the bags and be out with nobody even noticing you. It's not a big deal unless somebody takes note of you because you're good/have experience and it's during hours that people are sparring.

OP, just do some research about the local gyms near your area and go check it out and meet the trainers. Nobody is going to throw you in there to spar the best guy they have on your first visit. And in the unlikely chance that actually happens, give them the old, "I forgot my mouthpiece" line and be out.
