help picking a gym

[CM1995]

Hello, I am new to boxing, coming from a jiu jitsu/MMA background. As it stands i would like to get into boxing for awhile to improve my stsnd up. In the area I live in there are 2 boxing gyms, one just opened a couple months ago I went in for a day and the main issue I see is that they are yet to acquire any adults, they don't do a separate class for kids and adults so it just seemed a bit weird to me. Second option I went into the gym and in two weeks of going (that is the trial period they give) I saw only 2 people including the coach. So my question is should I go with the new gym and hope they get more members or the second option knowing that I would only have one option for a training partner. Any other advice or insight on what to look for is greatly appreciated.

Go where the adults are you don’t want to get beat up by a 14 or 15 year old kid who has numerous amateur fights

Much like an MMA gym, good trainers will attract good students.

You should see some pros training there, usually during the day when there are no classes, if not, it might just be a box-fitness type of place.

What city are you in?

Too bad you aren't closer to Caldwell. I know of a quality gym, a real boxing gym, there.

Which one?

Which one?

The Fighting Garcia's Gym. They have been there over 40 years turning out amateurs and pros, hosting tournaments. The whole family boxes.

I've actually never stepped foot into any other boxing club but my own, so what constitutes as a "quality" boxing gym?

I love my club and definitely don't intend on changing, just curious what you all would consider a good boxing gym.
