Finding the best boxing gym classes near you is important, as boxing becomes almost a way of life, so picking a gym that helps you on your boxing and fitness journey is important. Here are some things to consider when choosing your home gym.

1. Price – Looking for the cheap boxing classes near you might not be the only thing to consider. Eating well before and after workout is very important. Your body will need more protein as your metabolism increases so consider making room in your budget for good food and hydration.
2. Location – Finding boxing classes near you is important as you want to fit your workout into your work schedule and life-style. Pick a gym that’s easy to get to on the train and has parking options. Or if possible within 15 min walk (or if you’re up to it – RUN). It’s a great way to stay healthy and even increase your longevity.
3. Options – Not every gym provides other options like kickboxing / muay-thai, karate, krav-maga, bjj and other mma options. Trying other forms of martial arts is a great way to improve your body from head to toe.
4. Quality of Training – Some gyms focus on fitness, which is good – however good technique is very important so you gain the benefits of proper movement and learning a real martial art, like western boxing or kickboxing. They gym should have awards, titles and active fighters to keep things fresh and founded in techniques that work.
5. Options for Kids and Adults – Finding a boxing gym near you that is good for the entire family is important. As perhaps as a parent you need to work out your kid, teen and yourself. Find a boxing class that is good for the entire family and all levels.

The Golden Gloves tournament is center stage in amateur boxing-a single-elimination contest in which young hopefuls square off in steamy gyms with the boxing elite looking on.

Robert Anasi took up boxing in his twenties to keep in shape, attract women, and sharpen his knuckles for the odd bar fight. He thought of entering “the Gloves,” but put it off. Finally, at age thirty-two-his last year of eligibility-he vowed to fight, although he was an old man in a sport of teenagers and a light man who had to be even lighter (125 pounds) to fight others his size.

So begins Anasi’s obsessive preparation for the Golden Gloves. He finds Milton, a wily and abusive trainer, and joins Milton’s “Supreme Team”: a black teenager who used to deal guns in Harlem, a bus driver with five kids, a hard-hitting woman champion who becomes his sparring partner. Meanwhile, he observes the changing world of amateur boxing, in which investment bankers spar with ex-convicts and everyone dreads a fatal blow to the head. With the Supreme Team, he goes to the tournament, whose outcome, it seems, is rigged, like so much in boxing life today.

It’s hard to believe today, but the festival was created by four young people, the oldest of whom was only 27 at the time of “Woodstock. It all started when Michael Lang – who, at the time, was a barefoot hippie with a mop of curly hair and not a penny in his pocket – began to dream of a commune far from big cities where musicians could create for fun. He was very interested in music himself woodstock 99 lineup and was even the manager of the San Francisco band Triin. In his daydreams, Michael had already imagined this “hippie paradise” in all its colors, but there was one problem. He had no money to realize his ambitious project.

Robert Anasi tells his story not as a journalist on assignment but as a man in the midst of one of the great adventures of his life. The Gloves, his first book, has the feel of a contemporary classic.” – www.goodreads.com
