What do you look for in a boxing gym? (ideally)

[mishka80]

do you care about the facility (Brand new, or rocky-esque hole in the wall gym?)

How many days of the week the gym is open? (Open in the mornings or afternoon?)

Who your instructor is (if he's a champ, Olympian etcetc)

Just curious

what kind of fighters they are pushing out, how long they've been around and the reputation.. , ive been to 3 gyms the nicest one in terms of equipment and everthing was the least legit.. it was one of those MMA/boxing gyms i had to get outta there

I was at a very reputable gym in Queens for a while now im back to my hometown and just got into this gym who took 3 guys to the olympics

Open at least six days. Trainer consistency. Structure to training sessions. Lots of partner work and sparring.

[Trrmo]

The trainer no 1. someone who is a proven, experienced trainer of champions.
2. quality sparring partners around your own weight, the better they are the more you will benefit.
the rest is not so important, but I like
a decent sized ring.
and somewhere to piss

Trainer(s), Hours that its open, lots of variety of partners to work with, not full of *******s.

[ScottDBA]

not full of *******s.

That's huge.

Of course the trainers and the sparring partners are the most important, but when there's no *******s in the gym it makes it a lot more fun. All the boxers at my gym are cool with each other. We train and spar hard, but we still joke around. Everyone is there to help each other improve, no ****heads going nuts trying to hurt people.

[Danny Gunz]

some bulls to knock the **** out

jk, i just look for usable equipment and maybe some good trainers, im not trying to go pro im just trying to box i dont need the best stuff for that

[KostyaTszyu44]

first and foremost you need a good trainer
to be a good boxer, i have learnt this firsthand

[Flicker Jab]

85% is the coach. if the coach is soft, the gym will be soft. you don't wanna practice for the hardest game with a soft coach. you are going to want a coach who pushes your limits the first day of conditioning, and every day after that. a coach who asks you to spar on day one.

10% is the competition to spar with at your weight at the gym

5% is the atmosphere/bags/whether or not it's ******

[Chr0nic]

a gym that's open for atleast , at the least. 6 hours a day and at LEAST 5 days a week
