hi folks Ive always wanted to start boxing since i was 16/17(now 22) but always been kinda apprehensive/wasnt sure were to go! But after much deliberation andlistening to the rocky 4 soundtrack i really want to give it a go. Can anyone give me name/contacts of a good boxing gym in glasgow? Ive been on scottish boxing website which gave me list of names but thought id come ask for some advice/opinions. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated!! :thumbsup
There's a good one in renfrewshire called renfrew abc, think it's in paisley so not that far out. there's also one in bellahouston with a few good boys. Clydeview Abc is in Yorkhill. Where abouts in glasgow are you? There's some good boxing clubs in North Lanarkshire.
cheers for the info mate. I was looking at bellahouston.. um i stay near anniesland/partick way(west end way i suppose). So anywere close to there would be a bonus!
clydeview is in the west end ish i've been there to spar....got some real good boys fighting there, one guy rocky is on the british olympic team and James McLevy whos now a pro also pretty friendly guys its not the biggest and doesn't have that much equipment but its a good gym with top fighters so somethin must be working
The griphouse gym at the opposite end of great western rd from you is meant to be quite good, google it for class times etc.
I'm from around there too but living in Edinburgh the now. You could try Clydeview or Argo ABC Drumchapel. I've also been to one in Clydebank called Osprey, google it for the website. The training was hard. If you're willing to travel there's some top ones in North Lanarkshire - Forgewood, Newarthill.
