Gleason’s Gym

Gleason’s Boxing Gym in Brooklyn has a storied history like no other.  Read the story here.

Whether you are working out, a real fighter or a wannabe, a participant or a spectator, you are welcome and respected.

In a lot of ways Gleason’s is a microcosm of society, a gritty, tough, melting pot, characterized by openness and acceptance, inhabited with a lot of people with big dreams.

There is a quote on the wall of Gleason’s written by Virgil a couple thousand years ago: “Now whoever has courage, and a strong and collected spirit in his breast, let him come forward, lace on the gloves and put up his hands.”

Fun Fact: Tony Danza trained at Gleason’s and fought to a 9-3 record before retiring from boxing and getting into acting.
