Gleason's Gym

Do visit, don’t work out there. The gym is very cool, definitely worth visiting. I went there twice, once I got the one day pass and worked out on my own, which was okay. The second time I decided to go with a trainer. It was a very good workout but we agreed on a half hour workout, he went on for an hour (I couldn’t see the time) and then made me pay for it. I would probably have bought a sweatshirt with that money, so it’s their loss but it felt like a scam and it was not a nice experience. So despite being a cool sanctuary of boxing, it is not a good place to work out. They’re just in for the money. Other gyms I visited were way more welcoming and less pricey. The lady at the front desk was super kind though.

My 11 yr. old son trains with Coach Nolan Hansen. Nolan is a patient, kind, attentive, encouraging Coach who effectively teaches boxing at all levels. I have watched my son’s confidence sky rocket and he truly enjoys practice. I recommend Nolan to anyone with children and for adults as well. Nolan is flexible and supportive to both parents and the child, which is very important for me. My son will be training with Nolan into his teenage years and I feel that I made a great decision choosing Nolan and Gleason’s gym. I have to add too, the owner Bruce, is a sweetheart. He is very kind and wants everyone at the gym to get the best workout and health wellness they can get. He also encourages staff from Weill Cornell Hospital to come and sign men up who want to further their health awareness, to sign up for prostate cancer health education and screenings. This gym is overall a great place that promotes health awareness and inside and out. I’ll be a life long member.

I’m planning for Professional boxing carrier of my life so I will starting boxing training soon in Gleason ‘s gym .I’m coming here for great hop & positives aspects 😍🙏🏽gym equipments ,trainers all are super friendly 🙏🏽my childhood dream is training Gleason’s gym 🙏🏽🙇🏽

Gleason’s Gym is a true Brooklyn icon, and now it even has the street named after it! This legendary gym, owned by my friend Bruce, is more than just a place to train—it’s steeped in history, with every corner holding stories of the boxing greats who’ve trained here. Visiting Gleason’s is always a highlight for me; it’s a place where tradition meets community. Whether you’re a serious boxer or just a fan, the atmosphere is inspiring and authentic. There’s nowhere else quite like it!

My 13 year old son has trained with Nolan, for a couple of months and my son absolutely loves it. Nolan is respectful and good with the kids, Nolan also offers youth classes on the weekends. Kids do get one on one and Nolan provides real boxing moves, from drills, exercising, and sparring with other class mates in a monitored environment. The gym is located in a good neighborhood and if you want your child to compete the Gleason's Gym throw competition events for all ages and genders.
