Studios sell classes, fight gyms sell day passes

New York boxing splits into two worlds. Class studios such as Rumble sell single classes or small packs, so a visitor can walk in for one session. Traditional fight gyms such as Gleason's sell a day pass for open training time, and private coaching is extra. Either way, bring your own hand wraps; gloves are often lent but not always. Nobody will put a newcomer in to spar on the first day, and asking to is a good way to be told no.
