PLEASE HELP! Looking for a good gym in NEW YORK CITY!!

wassup man.. i fight with the Yonkers PAL andf its a free gym.. but if u have no experience at 21 years old they wont take you .. Morris Park gym is a good club in the Bronx it might cost you some dough but maybe train there for a year or so and get some experience and then come to a PAL with som experience

 

do what i did... i wanted to get into boxing when i was 19 and i called yonkers pal and they deaded me .. i didnt start until last april but i was living out in queens and i went to a gym out there that was pretty pricey .. i got about 8 months exp. there was doing alot of sparring i came back to yonkers and i told them i was fight ready and they took me .. im 2-0 now and i got a tournament this week..

its a good gym but u gotta work hard.. if the trainers see u just coming in and going thru the motions then taking 2 weeks off coming back for a couple days back and forth they aint gonna waste time with you

the yonkers pal is right outside getty square on north broadway

 

The trinity gym? I work right by the WFC so I see it when I walk to the 1 train. I occasionally will stop by the window and check out what kind of work the people in there are up to since that gym has somewhat of a high reputation (with Cotto training there prior his Clottey fight).

YOOOO he used to train me and my brother back when I was a little kid! and Pete but apparently Pete is out there mixing it in with the referees in the professional rankings now lol. 119 in manhattan ave baby down the stairs into the basement by the dance studio.


Now in regards to the started of this thread. I box (well used to and planning on returning soon because I NEED to be in the golden gloves this year) at Morris Park boxing club. Theres alot! of good gyms you could look into but I'll be pretty biased towards my club and trainer Lupin =p

Numerous PAL'S have good gyms. . Theres Gleasons gym, Kingsway, Trinity. . There is tons of GOOD gyms in New York it is just the matter of searching for them.

 

yo if u really really wanan box.. come by th eyonkers pal and tell sal the head trainer that u been training in the city at some gym .. he may just think the trainers u got sucked out there and start u form the basics..

 

I dont think all of PAL's will deny you if you dont have enough experience. Check out some other PAL's and see if you can use them. The PAL I use in jersey city lets anyone come and try out boxing.

 

my gym is a few blocks away from the path station in journal square at jersey city. its at fairview avenue and you get to it by walking down bergen street. It has some great trainers their and which is why I go there despite the fact that it is two and a half hours away from me. if you live in nyc by the world trade center or thirty fourth street, twenty fourth street, 14 street, 9 street, or christopher street you could take the path station to journal square and walk over there so the trip will only cost you 1.75 to get on the path train. In my opinion it is a great gym but pm me if you think you want to go over there and i will tell you when its open and the address and all that.

 

would gleaons be recomended?

 

yeah man ill take you over there when i go. which is pretty much every day so let me know.
