Glasgow Boxing

I'm looking for somewhere to start boxing in Glasgow. Complete amateur and starting late at 25 but in good shape

I stay southside so was considering Peter Harrison's gym, any good?

I am actually planning to take it seriously so any recommendations of where to join would be appreciated??

Cheers

 

Thanks for the advice lads

anyone else feels like commenting please do.. I managed to twist my knee while playing footie last night so I'll be out of action for another few weeks anyway

 

Right.... I've been round a couple of gyms tonight (Morrison's & Ibrox). Morrison's looks like a decent gym and the guy who was running the desk seems like a sound lad but it's actually a lot further from my flat than expected so I think it's out. I couldn't see Peter Harrison's gym anyhere... everything looked boarded up????:huh

Went along to Ibrox, seemed busy, spoke to a guy called Stuart (?)... he mentioned Peter Harrison was running a night at the Bellahouston centre tomorrow at 6 so probably going to stick my head in tomorrow.

Reason I'm posting, this is really the first time I've done any boxing. I'm not too worried about fitness because I keep well but I was wondering what gear I'll need??

I bought raps the other day... anything else?? Cheers

 

was he paraplegic?

 

I thought Morrison's seemed just more like a DIY gym, the guy taking me round said there are currently no coaches.... good equipment though, if I lived closer I probably would have sorted out a membership

 

Cheers anyway mate but think I've found my gym. I went a long to the bellahouston centre and was put through my paces...... in bits today :dead

Really enjoyed it though, I've done plenty of football training before but that didn't prepare me for the upperboddy work. Went in and was made to feel welcome, the moment I was standing still for a second someone else would point me in the direction of another activity.... exactly what I was after

Bellahouston centre's a strange place for a gym I thought but there's a decent set up of equipment and a ring for sparring... good 3 mile run round the park as well.

Nearly lasted the full 2hrs, which is not bad for my first vist, I thought. Think I've got the bug.... got home after and spent 2hrs in the mirror trying to work on my left hook, the mrs was pi55ing herself
