@LauraAlix @universalhub Quietman Gym. Don't know if it's still open. May want to check.

@LauraAlix @universalhub There are multiple gyms that offer boxing as a workout, but I would say that a gym run by a former world champ is most likely authentic

@LauraAlix @universalhub there's a new place called everybody fights in dtx. they may have something.

@KarynRambles @LauraAlix @universalhub Everybody Fights is a trademarked workout fitness routine. They have it at GymIT in Watertown. It looks fun.

@LauraAlix @universalhub Try @_redline_ in central square. A female friend used to box there and found it very enjoyable

Where do you live?

Grealish Boxing Club in Dorchester. A real boxing club - no frills, family owned, cost effective and will train you to either get in shape or fight. Martin is a real deal trainer and has several women that he works with.

You'll pay a ton at all the other gyms mentioned and feel ignored. I've trained and fought since I was 6 and I can tell you that Martin and his family are great people who will get you where you want to go.

See Mike at MG's fitness in Medford. Very experienced and professional.

If it ever involves a hit to the head... nowhere.

Sorabella Training Center in Waltham offers female-only boxing classes a few times a week. Very friendly and a great workout!

Boston Boxing

My roommate actually just started training as a first-timer at Boston Boxing a few months ago and she loves it. All our friends went to her first fight recently to cheer her on. She says she's going to keep training there indefinitely.
