Hi guys and gals. I'm Dave and have had a keen interest in boxing for a good few years now. I'm 6ft. Weight 73kg. 26 years old. I've been doing my research. But im unsure of which boxing club to goto. I was hoping maybe some of you guys on here could help with some input. The clubs im looking at is :- Harts Boxing Gym Blandford Boxing Gym Wessex Boxing Gym Bulldog Boxing Gym If anybody has any experience of these clubs. It would be great to hear about it.

Well i've been and looked at Bulldog boxing gym, Blandford, and Harts. Harts is a no goer for me. Blandford looks very good and promising. Blandford is also very cheap. The coaches there know there stuff. They were very friendly answering loads of questions. Made me feel very welcome. Invited me to stay and watch them train. We even had a chat about supplements. They have a string of champions behind them. Plus there my closest. There aba certified. They travel all over the country to competitions. Blandford cost £2 per training session. But recommend you train 3 days a week boxing supplemented with your own training regime in between boxing sessions. competitions. Bulldog also looked very good. They have a shop on site. They were friendly and again answered any questions. I didn't ask many questions. Didn't see much training there. I'm going to go down there on a sparring night. Ask more questions. Bulldog charge £50 a month for 2 or 3 training sessions a week. Which include normal training session, Bag blast, and sparring clinic. £30 a month gets you 1 training session a week.

Well been to my first training session at Blandford. Which i enjoyed alot. We warmed up with all the normal stretched, did a bit of shadow boxing with the warm up. Went for a 1/2 mile warm up jog. I used this to do interval training. Then i did skills training with a coach. Then onto a double ended bag. Then ironman, speed ball. Then different weight punch bags including a target bag. Then after going on about 7 different bags. We went out and did a 2 mile jog. Apart from learning all the new boxing skills. I also learned that i need to get some hand wraps and my own gloves. Gloves i started off with were terrible. Velcro kept coming undone. All in all a good training session.
