I'm looking to train just for a way to stay in shape... normally I play basketball but its to hard to find a good run and my ankle is kind of messed up right now....

how much would it cost to have someone personal train you in boxing?

not to be professional or anything but just for fun and to stay in good condition

Personal trainer?

Go join a gym, meet new friends and trainers. Once you're settled you will have a good time.

i'm saying though... like i want to learn actual techinique and skills from someone..

Like alot of gyms have a base membership which means you can use their equipment which is cool... but i want to learn how to actually box..

I'm trying to figure out how much it will cost ... or atleast a range

It'll cost you more than finding a proper gym with a proper trainer who takes you under his wing, I can promise you that much.

I train. Prices in Ohio can range anywhere from $15 - $100 dollars a month. Some charge hourly. Depends on the gym/ trainer.

not necessarily. it depends on what it is there for. like my gym is a non-profit organization and it is free for kids and whatever donations you can make as an adult. they like to charge 30 but if you cant pay that much then you can work it out with the coach.

and it is a very good gym.

If you want personalized instruction, you will be charged a personalized price, probably by the hour. It ain't gonna be cheap. Most guys join the local gym and get whatever instruction is available. Boxing tends to be a relatively cheap sport to enter because the people involved don't usually have much money.

so for personal instruction it would cost like 30 $?

You don't need personal training in the beginning anyway, at least I didn't. You don't want the first few hundreds of hours of practice to cost 50 bucks an hour, when all you do is learning how to punch. You can do that perfectly well in group lessons.

you could get a list of boxing coaches from you LBC the local boxing commission. there head office for USA boxing is at [Only registered and activated users can see links] I also have a few links on my site that has sites that will list boxing instructors and schools.

the best thing is to ask around in your own area. the cost of training usually depends on how big your city is.

i'm a personal trainer and I charge $55 per month, but the city i'm in is only about 8 thousand people. In a large city a personally trainer could charge $55 per session.

but if you can get into a club that'll charge between 40 nd 50 bucks a month that a pretty good price. And any boxing will well your hand eye coordination and build endurance. This would help any sport.

try xtreme boxing club.Its run by former cuban boxer and now trainer
Jorge Rubio(helped train David Haye for a fight once.)

1645 w 40th st hialeah fl. 80$/month

It also has a bjj classes in the same facility.

private lessons are just too pricey.

Checkout the creditials of your trainer before joining a gym.

i wouldnt have an issue with the an hour but you say its not worth it because it would be better spending the time learning how to punch?

great info.... im not looking to get serious or anything i just want to do it as a way to stay in shape... but i'd also like to learn real life technique so it keeps me even more focused

The best way to learn boxing is to watch the other guys make mistakes then figure out how not to make them. On Friday Night Fights Teddy Atlas and Bernard Hopkins made an analysis of the flaws in Kelly Pavlik's style. For the novice boxer, that was free instruction. If you are receptive and willing to learn, you will. You don't need to pay $50 an hour to learn to box.

what kind of stuff did you do

We charge the kids at our gym 15, because they are mostly inner-city and are unable to pay any higher amount. Normally, we charge 30 per month. Everything is negotiable.

We have all kinds of equipment, ring, and 2 coaches, including me.

We're not in it to make money. Hell, we're happy to just be able to pay the rent.

It really depends on the gym... If you go to the Wild Card (Freddie Roach's) gym, expect to pay a lot more. Most local gyms have the same prices. We do a lot of collaboration with the other gyms in the area, local shows, sparring, etc, so it pays to keep the prices relatively the same.
