used to come here for johnny rodz wrestling shows back 80's
The best part about this GYM is the owner, who's a great person and that most of important boxing fighters and even MMA fighters that go to MSG and Barkley Center will show up here for Media day. So you get to see pro fighters here every now and then. In all, this GYM is good to try for yourself.
This boxing gym has vintage atmosphere and Muhammed Ali used to train there. They have famous trainers one of them trained Hillary Swank from "Million Dollar Baby". and she thank Hector Roca and everybody in Gleason's on oscars when she won the best actress in 2005. They have some nice matches around summer time under the Manhattan Bridge by Water st.
I'm a member of this gym already for 2 years and I love it. Great vibe, random sparing partners, great trainers and plenty of heavy bags to hit.
What a gym, it cant get more real that that.
The way a boxing GYM should be like to begin with. It's the oldest boxing GYM in America. Anyone who knows about boxing, should also know about Gleason's GYM. Some great boxers came for this GYM, Mohamed Ali, Roberto Duran and many more as well. Google the history or swing by and ask for a tour from the owner who will fill you in on what's happen over the years.
Highly recommended
Most of the staff is at 3 stars at best. Trainers are at different levels. Some do show they care about being a trainer and others are out to just make money off of you. The trainers them-self know who they are and what I mean by this. The GYM also moved from its old location at 77 Front St which is around the corner from the new place and with that came a bit of a makeover in decor and equipment with an improved facility but smaller space.
The best boxing gym in NYC by far. It's got the best history! Best fighters!
