Our gym is not just about boxing; it's about the stories and creativity that come with it. Jo Ellen Van Ouwerkerk, a regular at Gleason’s, is a surrealist artist whose work captures the essence of life's private moments, influenced by various eclectic sources.

Reviews
"Great energy. Bare bones. Nothing fancy but everything works. Very welcoming and not intimidating front desk / atmosphere. Would highly recommend to anyone who’s interested in learning about the sport!"
"I went to here yesterday 9pm. I paid 45USD for training with trainer. But reception lady introduced me one of the normal guy he is not pro trainer. Just normal guy who is not trainer… even not pro boxer. He said “ I don’t want to teach” many times in the lesson. I came all the way from Japan to take trainers lesson.. but it was the worst experience for me. I’m disappointed…."
"The atmosphere in the gym is incomparable. Friendly and outgoing staff. Words can’t express my love for this historic boxing gym."
"Best boxing studio in Brooklyn & NYC with a traditional cool vibe. I discovered the boxing studio by chance on my tour and spontaneously visited it. The people at the boxing gym were super friendly and allowed us to look around. As a boxer, I couldn't hold back and had to try out a short training session. The trainer who allowed me to try out a training session with him was very friendly and is a very, very good trainer. An extraordinary THANK YOU goes to him. Great trainer, great boxing club and very nice people."
"I recently started boxing as a total greenhorn two weeks ago and I have absolutely nothing bad to say about training here at Gleason's. The atmosphere is incredible. The staff and the members are incredibly kind and helpful. My boxing journey has been amazing so far especially because of my trainer Аян AKA Panda. He is always pushing me to my limits when we train and he is always meticulous when it comes to teaching me techniques. He is also very funny lmao. I'm loving it here at Gleason's and I couldn't have asked for a better coach. I would recommend Gleason's and Panda to anyone looking to start boxing or to train at a new gym!"
