Having trained in small and stuffy boxing gyms which I felt like a secod home I do not really like the modern cardio boxing gyms. The are just too clean, unpersonal and too many people both male and female obsessed with looking good than just simpLy loving and enjoying the sport.
The old school gyms are coming harder and harder to come by. You need to deep in to the projects, and too many of those have been gentrified
I don't have a beef with the boxersize gyms. Got no real problem with people trying to get in shape and boxing is a great work out. At the same time it might generate larger interest in the sport
Spot on, Billy. The one I go to is in a deprived area. Actually, the other gym was also in a deprived area a few miles away.
