I'm new to here and from what I've read there are some posters with some good knowledge. I am just wondering what and where the best professional boxing gyms around Toronto are? And when I mean around I mean within a 10 hour drive. So that includes Philly, Detroit, Montreal, New York, Pittsburgh etc. I just want to go somewhere with a good training team that's cheap where I can just live eat and sleep boxing and fight. Not interested in the quality of nightlife etc thanks in advance for your help

I can't speak on behalf of other places, but for Toronto the following gyms are worth checking out:
- Cabbagetown (it's been around for a long time, they take good care of their fighters and are probably more affordable than some of the other choices)
- Atlas (Also been around for a very long time. Very good gym, the owner used to coach the Canadian Olympic boxing team. I haven't been there in a while but last time I checked they had a bunch of Gold medalists in the recent PanAm games and have a bunch of people competing in this years olympics. definitely worth a look)
- Grant Brothers aka Headrush Training facility (Probably the newest out of all the known gyms. It's technically an MMA gym but don't let that discourage you from checking them out, they're also very good. there are a decent number of pros here and the boxing classes are solid from what I recall)
- Sully's (I've never been there but it's apparently been around since the 60's and is supposed to be very good)
Hope that helps a bit. All the best

Originally posted by The_untouchable View PostHey man thanks for the reply. I agree. I just would like somewhere where I can rent a room cheap and go to the gym everyday and just live eat and sleep boxing without spending too much money on living costs. I'll check out that gym. Thanks Man. Do u know of anymore in jersey/Philly/Detroit?
I don't know too much about Detroit.
New Jersey is going to be the most expensive to rent a place so if you can find a gym in Detroit that would be wise financially. Don't worry about how champs they have trained as long as there are pros in the stable it is a good gym to learn.
