Thinking about joining a gym

[the330ballers]

Some trainers will rob you with the gym dues. 77 sounds about right for me. Mine is 70 a month, there a several pro fighters and a handful of very talented amateurs there. "including myself" Check some credentials. It's not how many champions come out of a gym, see what the atmosphere is like talk to the trainers and fighters in the gym to see what there knowledge level is. And how much they have to teach. Also see how much sparing time you can get. nothing and I mean nothing compares to sparing when training to box.

o allright thanks

I've been shadowboxing and hitting the heavy bag for a while now and i think im going to join a gym. I've boxed once before and had A LOT of fun and id really like to become a boxer. The gym is open mon-fri for a short time every day, how many hours should be spent in a gym each day to get some good training?

Unless there is a boxing culture where you live, chances are there are not many boxing clubs from which to chose. Joe Frazier's book Box Like The Pros will give you some guidelines to evaluating gyms and trainers. However, if you have talent and you want to learn, you will overcome whatever deficiencies the local clubs may have.
