Can't find a boxing gym - 02/19/09 09:01 PM
I've been trying to find a decent boxing gym in my area, but none of them are quite what I'm looking for. I want something that has classes and instructors that really care about promoting boxing and training boxers. Not something that feels like a business. There was a PAL gym which was supposed to be phenomenal, but that apparently closed down. Every other gym I find charges a monthly fee, a far heftier fee if you want to participate in classes, and charge $60 an hour if you want to work one on one with a trainer. I've never been to a real boxing gym, but I always hear that boxing is so popular partially because it's inexpensive enough for everyone to afford. I'd love to know where the hell these people are training, because classes are about $130- 140 a month around here. That's not including any real individual attention. It can't be like this everywhere. I sincerely doubt that Mike Tyson walked into a boxing gym for the first time and had to pay fees like what I'm seeing. If anyone knows of a decent boxing gym on Long Island that won't rape me financially, please tell me about it. I'd really appreciate it.
Also, if anyone wants to tell me how boxing gyms are run by them, I'd love to hear it.
