I was supposed to sign up at Cabbagetown, but their beginner classes run on sundays at 9am. I work until 4am sunday morning and it's actually a tiring job, so even if I were able to wake up on time, I wouldn't be getting the most out of it. Their course is 8 sessions once a week for $200. Although the place seems a bit grungy, it seemed like a good environment overall.

Any other club/gym recommendations? I don't care for the premium of the best trainer in Toronto, as long as the trainers/coaches are good enough to learn the basics well. I'm doing it for the fitness/training but competing isn't out of the question once I get a feel for it.

Boxing stories are also welcome. Those are always interesting

Thanks in advance

Only one i know of is at 2300 Dundas Street West

haven't been myself but have a neighbour that started going couple years ago and Loves it
 
+1 for Sully's. have a friend who used to be in the WWE and now heads the local Apocalypse Wrestling Federation and he speaks very highly of Sully's when he used to train/train others there.
 
I used to train at Atlas boxing when they were on st clair at oakwood.

They now moved up by the 401 around yorkdale.

Its a no frills gym, a bit grungy, but the owner adrian used to be one of the olympic coaches for the canadian boxing team...

Lennex lewis used to train there (a million years ago mind you), and they have a couple of prize winning fighters.

On the down side Adrian had a bit of a legal battle where some girls said he tried to make advances on them... Don't know how that turned out but he seemed nice enough to me, not creepy (im a guy though...)

They do what they do well. Lots of skipping, shadow boxing, running, speed rounds, and pushups/pull ups.
 
undisputed martial arts near eglinton and vic park

I tried 3 different gyms over the last 6 months and im going back to undisputed. its convenient for me and also the amount of attention you get for your technique is phenomenal. Let me know if you want more details.
 
I made a topic on this a few weeks back... ended up signign up at lin martial arts for their Muay Thai boxing program. They don't offer traditional boxing but the thai boxing is good, I train twice a week as a beginner and it's the most intense thing I have ever done fitness wise, I have been working out for 4 years straight but nothing like this.
 
Thanks for the replies, guys. I've called up almsot all of them and I'm waiting for some callbacks. The goal's to learn the basics of boxing/training somewhere else and just do boxercise once a week at cabbagetown (it's 10 bucks a session).

What makes them so great? It'd be convenient because I go to the goodlife at dvp & eglinton

HUF is a proper gym, we've competed against them a couple times. Where is the OP looking specifically?

Not too picky. I'd prefer something that was within a 30 minute drive, but if it's just a once a week thing, I don't mind driving further.

I thought about muay thai but I have a bunch of friends at different gyms and while they're all fit, I'm not sure that it's what I want out of a program.

I have heard good things about United Martial Arts...It's one of very few that teaches proper Arnis/Kali/FMA in the whole city on top of everything else they do.

How much is the membership and does it give you access to all of the classes or do you have to pay extra for certain classes??? Im curious to know
thanks
