I don't train here but the guys here helped me push my car into the Orielys parking lot when it died in the middle of the driveway. Thank you so much for kindness and compassion.
I think that this is an incredibly good boxing gym. I have had many positive experiences when doing the stretch class, then run afterwards. Richard Lord's is one of the best for getting into shape. There's no messing about or excuses. This place is all about building serious strength through serious training.
If you're a competitive boxer looking for a new gym, a boxer from out of state looking for a temporary gym to train at, or just somebody looking to get into boxing, then this is the perfect place. None of the paying for classes taught by inexperienced people, subscription based models that you get with these newer gyms. Pay your fee, and you'll be left alone if you want to be left alone or trained if you ask for some help. They've got some good technical guys to spar in there that are there to work with you and not hurt you, and the coach cares for your safety as well as his fighters safety. It's very rare to find a gym where you can walk in, ask for rounds, and get some good and fairly paced sparring where the fighter and coach has your back.
