I'm a complete beginner to boxing 20 years old, only did some at my club at school so I know only some of the basics in terms of actual training. I'm basically trying to find a good gym in NJ between New Brunswick and Newark. Not trying to commute further than that. My goal is to train my ass off while in school/work to see how good I can get and compete in some amateur tournaments. Any ideas ?
Check here. Looks like there are lots to choose from: http://www.boxinggyms.com/addresses/newjersey.htm New Brunswick Boxing Gym‎ 121 Jersey Avenue New Brunswick, NJ 08901 (732) 662-0688 newbrunswickboxinggym.com‎ El Coqui Boxing Club 172 Thomas St. Newark NJ 07114 973-344-5622 Elite Boxing Inc. 3 Riverveiw Court Newark NJ 07105 862-368-0462 073-336-9700 Gladiators Boxing Gym 525 Irvington Ave. Newark NJ 973-416-9595 IBN Ali Boxing Club 669 Springfield Ave (Basement of the Salvation Army) Newark NJ 07103 973-375-5933 Lopez Boxing Gym 11 Hawkins Ct.

I'll try to check it out. I'm definitely going to be looking around in a week or so when school is out. I'm driving from Woodbridge so hopefully it's an easy commute. Seek's like there are free Open Houses on Mondays in May so I'll probably drop by next Monday.
