There is an awesome gym off of 441 called wiseguys if you want some real training. They have boxing and kick boxing lessons and train some main contenders. I boxed there a while ago and its a great gym. It's more of a "Rocky" style gym compared to some of the high tech places out there but the trainer is a world champ and you can't beat that. Tips: Keep your hands up, don't give up

how much does it cost to get into boxing, I wanted to get into it too.

 

[seth16]

it is usually around $30 a month, that was when i was in boxing....Now, alot of gyms have boxing, and if you get a membership to the gym, then boxing is free...IDK which ones tho

ya I have no idea how to get into it. do people just help you out? or do you have to get a trainer or something? I dont really want to get hardcore into it I just want to do it for fun.

Well, 75% of boxing is training......but it is moslty shadow boxing (boxing yourself and a mirror), excersizing, working with speed-bags, and punching bags, and reflex workouts.... toning your reflexes is important, you would most likely have a trainer, it would probably be one for the whole gym. ALot of "boxing" byms in the area including orlando are more for people who want to ersue it for a career... and that was not what i wanted to do it for. I went o Joses Boxing Gym off of OBT. Great place, but it was small and the owner left, and it was only one guy there, so we left the place. But like i said, check out some gyms in yoru area, like all out gyms, PF gyms,World Gym, Golds Gym, even LA fitness may have some classes. But if you really want to do it (for fun even) you have to be willing to work, it is not an easy sport, but it is fun and the training for the ring also hones your skills and viewsof how to react to everyday occurances. Good luck, i hope you find what you are looking for, and i hope im giving you SOME help...lol
