    I'm from Australia and I will be traveling through the states from early June - to late August. Then I'm going to Canada to work, train, live or whatever.

    Interested in going to gyms in California, Nevada, Texas, Chicago, Philly, New York... or any other places with good gyms / trainers. As far as Canada goes first stop Montreal.

    Would love to hear some good recommendations.

    Thanks, I will use that as a guide. I was just interested in where the best trainers are. I will be sure to check out Gleason's Gym, Wild Card and a couple others. But, if there were any lesser known gyms people could refer this traveling man towards, I would be very grateful.

    About 25 miles from Austin, Texas is the town of Jarrell, Texas. There is the Azteca gym, there is a trainer who has trained at least 2 HOF'r, and was HOF Nacho Beristain's right hand man. Look on facebook, Azteca Pride Fernando Flaco Castrejon

    The fighters he has trained includes Juan Manuel Marquez, Ricardo "Finito" Lopez, Rafael Marquez, Daniel Zaragoza, Jesus Chavez, and a bunch more.
    If you can stop there it might be worth your while.
