    Gym Hunting

    I live in the suburbs right outside of Philadelphia and I'm looking to start fighting. There is a gym near me and I'm going there tommorow. What should I look for to decide if its a good gym? Also are there any important questions I should be asking? Thanks fellas.

        Montgomery. The gym I'm looking at is in Ardmore. I would go to a gym in the city but its way too far. I would have to take the train or bus every time I wanted to go to the gym. I think I have to settle for this one.

            I live in Penn Valley. Which is abotu 1 mile from Ardmore. I live on the Main Line and I'm rigt near Manayunk. I would be willing to go pretty far if the gyms are good. It depends on where the gym is becuase I can get rides to some places too. If you could PM me some ideas or post em here that would really help. Thanks man.

              bad ass gym in broomall
              ko boxing in berwyn
              spivak? boxing in narberth
              main line boxing in narberth (real nice)

                    Joe Frazier's gym is good too. overrated i think plus joe is a raging alcoholic. it wouldnt be in my top 5 in the city though, but cant say its not a good gym with some good ass fighters.
