    hey everyone,

    there have been a new gym around my place and its really cheap price but it seems more like a fitness gym with some heavy bags so i am not too sure, luckily they have a free session on monday and just want to see what should i look out for

    no its a very new gym and i asked the trainer, he was honest with me and told me he never competed but have been doing boxing for a good 16 years, but its alot cheaper there than other schools

    but mainly i want to know what would a good trainer teach you on first lesson

    For boxing?

    A good trainer, sparring and half-decent (though hopefully completely decent) equipment I would imagine.

    Furthermore, good boxers and no bull****.

    There you go.

    You train in what martial art? I am considering starting Judo on Wednesday.

    I train at a 24 hour gym chain for fitness.

    i had a look at the equipments at the gym everything there was top notch, 5 heavy bags very new, 2 uppercut bags really nice, quite a few pair of focus mitts, and lots of other stuff

    one of my friends also tried the gym out and did say it was pretty good
