Which gym would you prefer? A private one like Oscar's, where its just your team and your team only? Or a gym when your surrounded by dozens of other fighters along side you, like Manny's? Personally, I'd prefer something like Oscar's; I think there would be more of your own space, have the feeling of being at home etc, and I just like the set up of it.
I had tried both type of gym's. Personally I prefer the Manny Style. I think more people allows you to push yourself more. You see other's busy, you'll never want to stop going. It makes me push harder because i never like to be shown up by any of the others there training. Working out at home or a small enviroment to me has never helped to much, simply because you stop when you want. You never get that extra push. The noise and the energy just seems to help me than the zen like enviroment that oscar tried to get. I compare it to Rocky Vs. Drago's training.
Thats a very good point, but the less people there are training the more the actual trainers can focus on you, thats what ive found from my experience anyways
busier. i have both. i have a gym near my home for fighters- that i go to that is very private. very serious boxers go there, the coach is focused on us. and the other is a busy mma gym- with alot of activity , alot going on, noise. there are days i want either one- but more often that not- i work harder when somebody is there looking over your shoulder. busy is good- BUT it depends. Id prefer Mannys gym- but not if i was Manny. The amount of attention he works thru is insane. its hard enough not to show off and lose your concentration when one of your friends comes to the gym to watch- but to hav the whole gym stop, and have hundreds come in and watch you train? thats insane- and only manny can do what manny does i think.
i prefer pac's. working out in a gym with your friends can give you that extra push. even if my arms are aching, i would try to finish that additional two or three. whereas, at home working out by myself, a little ache and i would give up. the company of friends always help.
Im in the middle there are pros and cons to both ..A quiet gym gets you more focused ,I packed gym w/Friends makes for a good enviroment if you are all working for the same goal ..Just depends on what you feel is more productive for you ..
