5 /5 Moose Andrews: Ive recently attended Jabs Gym, as Ive been looking for some more exciting cardio to supplement my bodybuilding--and Ive been inspired by the anime "Hajime no Ippo" and the protagonists self-improvement, which is reminiscent of my own, but I digress.
Just after Googling "Boxing gyms near Downtown Detroit," and it led me to the Eastern Market location.
When you arrive in the gym--which is on the third floor--youll immediately see a multitude of boxing bags. They may not have a ring (and I dont believe sparring takes place at the gym), but the classes are very high energy. The times Ive gone, I found myself gassed out once the session concluded, which is phenomenal. To me, sweating, heavy breathing, and an elevated heart rate are all signs of hard work.
Despite being very new to boxing classes, I immediately felt welcomed. Not only that, but I believe the instructors have a solid understanding of boxing fundamentals; some of what they discussed came up in the aforementioned "Hajime no Ippo."
They have deals on the website for monthly memberships and for individual classes as well, of which I certainly intend to take advantage.
I recommend Jabs Gym to anyone who wants to learn about boxing, get a good workout in, and have some fun while doing so.
