    First day at a Boxing Gym, help?

    Hi,
    I asked before whether 16 was too late to start boxing and the feedback was pretty positive for me so I'm preparing to go this week. Thing is, I'm a pretty nervous guy, and I have no idea what to expect when I walk in. Can anyone fill me in with what to expect? Also, I'm not really sure what to say when I walk in, do I ask if I can join or do I ask for for some one on one sessions because I'm basically a boxing ******? Are there any specific things that I need to know before I go too? I know how to do my handwraps etc already.
    Thanks.

    Come in early and talk to the head trainer. Just don't turn up in the middle of training and interrupt.

      It's like your first day in prison. Find the biggest guy in the room and punch him to show others you ain't a bi*ch.

        Are you looking to actually go amateur or just box for a workout?

          I would phone ahead first. Explain that you have an interest in the sport and wish to take it up.

            I just wanna see where it goes, if I'm any good at it I'd wanna go amateur. I just really like watching it and wanna try it out.

                  Take an adderral, snort a line, drink a coffee, and walk right in. You'll be nice and relaxed and won't have any trouble setting up sessions.
