Being a boxing fan and a boxer I've attended this place for about two years at this place and then stopped because I had no more time for it. The facility is quite big and in good condition. Many champions have come out of this place. Everyone there is friendly and is willing to help. If you would like to give boxing a try then definitely go to this place. It has three rings and quite a few punching bags. The owner of this place is a very nice guy. All the accessories you need to start boxing are available right there such as wraps and gear. The price is 70 dollars a month for the us of the gym. The trainers prices vary, you must talk to the one of the many trainers there to find out.

World-class boxing gym, open to all. All of the greats have trained here, but newcomers shouldn't be intimidated. It's regularly packed with amateurs and pros, men and women, kids learning the sport, and an unusually diverse mix of white and blue collar dudes. Trainers charge $20/hour, but many will train you for much longer than that, without charging more, which is quite a bit cheaper than personal trainers at the chain gyms around the city.

Best workout ever/Changed my life
by barbie111
If you want an awesome, satisfying workout but can't stand gyms and can never keep a steady gym schedule Gleason's is definitely the place for you. When you walk in it is an intimidating place, but the people there are so friendly they become your family. I went there to learn how to box, before i knew it in about a month i was in the best shape of my life. It is an amazing and fast way to get into shape and feel great about yourself. I recommend this to all my friends who have no interest in boxing but want to loose weight. I also recommend this because it is a good form of self protection. Boxing changes your life, gives you confidence and self esteem. And I'll tell you what I tell all my friends, you don't have to fight and get in the ring with someone. Many people don't, all you have to do is train. It is amazing, totally changed my life, mind, body and soul. I also met a few life time friends in there. The prices are very reasonable and so are the trainers fees. It is worth any penny.
Pros: Reasonable fees, one on one training, great results, beautiful neighborhood
Cons: hard to find parking before 6:00pm

The Real Thing
by mrskimid
Walking into Gleasons may be intimidating, but talk to someone and find out that everyone's great in this low-key atmosphere. Very reasonable monthly rates ($70/mo. no gimmicks), no silly initiation fees, a great group of trainers who offer very reasonable rates ($25-45/1-1.5 hr workout depending on who you pick). I'm not a pro or am fighter--just there to get a great workout--nothing beats it. Great place to try boxing out if you've always been curious. This is a boxing gym though, so no fancy schmancy cardio equipment or saunas, etc., just heavy bags, treadmills, etc. just what you need to become a first-rate boxer.
Pros: Friendly staff, Open to Beginners, Great Deal
Cons: No fancy equipment, No fancy locker room, Hike to Subway
