I'm moving to Manhattan in a month and want to join a boxing gym. I've never actually boxed before, but fell in love with the sport about three years ago. I played baseball in college, and am a pretty good athlete overall, but I dont know how seriously I want to get into boxing (competing, or just a hobby). Anyway, I've just been working out on my own for a while with a heavy bag and speed bag, and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a good gym in Manhattan. I want something that would be hospitable for newbies, but at the same time I want to go to a "real" boxing gym, not something for housewives! any suggestions?
