Siamo stati un paio di settimane fa a New York ed una sera siamo passati in questa mitica palestra per fare una sorpresa a mio marito, appassionato di boxe.
Lo staff è stato gentilissimo il proprietario ci ha addirittura invitati nel suo ufficio spiegandoci, con entusiasmo (dato anche dalle sue origini italiane) la storia di questo iconico luogo. Sono state davvero persone cordiali ed empatiche e ci hanno regalato un bellissimo ricordo da portare con noi. Da non perdere se vi trovate a Dumbo❤️

Gleason’s has the incredible reputation it does for a reason. It’s an amazing gym to work out in and an even more amazing community to be apart of. Everyone regardless of age, gender, ability, etc., is included and has a home at Gleason’s. Truly my favorite place. Team Heat forever 🔥

This historic boxing gym is one of my favourite places to train whenever I’m in town. The trainers are friendly, highly knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping you improve. There’s no blaring music here; just the raw sounds of boxing: gloves hitting the bag, heavy breathing, and the rhythm of hard work.

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.

UPDATE: the owner replied to this comment of mine saying he’d be glad to refund me. I have written an email to him. Many months have gone by, got no reply. I do believe it was just to show off on Google.
I stand by what I said: it has become a money-making factory, sport has little place in it. Still historically beautiful.

I’ve been training and fighting out of Gleason’s for two years. The gym has a program called “Veterans in the Ring,” that provides free membership for Veterans. This is my second home. The name “Gleason’s” demands respect and for good reason. It’s the home of Champions.

If you’re serious about boxing training go to the real deal! Gleasons! Down and dirty it’s where you’re trained by REAL boxers. Bruce Silverglade is the original Godfather of boxing and has always been there for the boxing community. He started the white collar boxing matches back in the day when Wall Street guys could climb in a real ring and let off steam. I fought in a few 25 years ago at his first Brooklyn location a few blocks from his place now. He has weathered many a storm to stay in business and provide a nurturing home for people from all walks of life to immerse themselves and challenge themselves. A very unique establishment which should be seen and utilized before it disappears causing a vacuum that can never be duplicated.

Dieses Gym ist einfach einzigartig. Die Geschichte, die Atmosphäre – hier liegt pure Action in der Luft. Schweiß, Tränen, echte Hingabe. Jeder Schlag, jede Bewegung hat Gewicht.

Was dieses Gym so besonders macht? Du triffst hier auf echte Champions. Menschen mit Feuer im Herzen und Disziplin im Blut. Es ist nicht nur ein Ort zum Trainieren – es ist ein Ort, an dem Legenden geschmiedet werden.

Hier spürt man, was es heißt, alles zu geben. Keine Show, kein Fake – nur Ehrgeiz, Respekt und pure Leidenschaft für den Kampfsport. Wer einmal hier war, versteht: Das ist mehr als ein Gym. Das ist Geschichte.

Gleason's is a gem! It's a space where everyone, regardless of skill level, feels at home. I've been training with Raul Frank, a boxing legend who genuinely cares about his students and consistently pushes me to improve. He keeps training engaging and fun, always mixing things up, which makes every session exciting. I've seen significant improvements in my strength and core, which have helped my performance in long-distance running. Gleason's is more than just a gym; it's an institution and a fantastic community. Highly recommend!

Training at Gleason’s with Franck has been an incredible experience! I’ve worked on my balance, footwork, and precision, and I’ve really felt the difference after a month of training.

Franck’s coaching is very technical, he breaks down each movement in a way that makes everything clearer. The energy in the gym is amazing, and every detail matters, from head movement to weight placement.

I left feeling sharper, more in control, and motivated to keep improving. Can’t wait to be back!

One of my favorite places in the world. Filled to the brim with history, pugilistic knowledge, and life lessons. A functional piece of boxing history that gives so much back to the people of New York. Since moving from NY, Gleason’s Gym is the one place I truly miss on a daily basis. Boxing, unlike any other sport allows individuals to train next to legends. If you love basketball it’s rare that you’d get the chance to practice your jump shot alongside Michael Jordan. At Gleason’s You never know who is going to walk through those doors. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Gleasons is a great boxing gym. I have been boxing since I am a teenager, but every time I come for a boxing program I learn something new. The coaches are all terrific and will work you very hard. I have been attending the Fantasy camp for many years because it helps support a great program GAKAD which helps a lot of kids, and I learn good boxing fundamentals and then all that choose can enjoy a fun sparring show at the end of the camp.
Recently I came for a Masters sparring camp with my son Zachary and a friend. We were trained by Raul Frank. He is a terrific trainer where you will learn a lot and get a terrific workout. Juan Laporte a hall of fame boxer is also a great trainer and terrific person who often is a coach at the Fantasy boxing.
Lastly the owner Bruce Silverglade is a great guy who will make sure you are happy and enjoying the gym. You won't find a better gym owner than Bruce.

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.

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 worked with Nolan Hanson at Gleason’s this past spring and it was a fantastic experience. I had done some boxing classes in the past but Nolan kickstarted me into high gear - the classes are challenging, interesting, and satisfying. Nolan is a super encouraging coach with obvious experience under his belt, and he can work with all skill levels to help people develop their own relationship to boxing. Highly recommend both the gym and Nolan as a coach!

I’ve trained for 5 years with the amazing Coach Nolan Hanson. Nolan brings a lot of integrity to his work— he’s kind but pushes you, works with you were you’re at but expects growth, is great on boxing fundamentals but also has an eagle eye for specific ways to get your technique sharper, stronger, harder. An all around class act: great fighter, great coach, great human. The boxer I am now doesn’t even resemble the boxer I was 5 years ago. I highly recommend, for both competitive fighters and folks who just wanna learn the sport.

gleason's is obviously a historic institution-- i was a little intimidated on my first time going, but everyone who works and trains there are friendly and welcoming.

additionally, i'd like to give a more detailed review for my trainer nolan, who i've worked with on and off over the past six months that i've been boxing. his approach is very thorough, technique-driven, and bed-stuy informed stylistically. every time we work together, i absorb so much and with such ease, as he makes clever analogies for learning and will take his time/move slowly as you're finding a flow. i can't wait to continue exploring and expanding my practice with him. highly recommended to all people/bodies/genders! he's such a generous and affirming coach. big love to gleason's/nolan !

I came to Gleason's Gym last fall to train with Nolan Hanson. I had heard about his coaching online, and he seemed to be bringing together a group of athletes I was interesting in training with. With little prior experience in a fighting gym, Nolan introduced me to the space, the equipment, and his fellow coaches and athletes. He was great at attending to the individual, varied needs of the athletes in each of his sessions. I felt my confidence in the gym improve quickly under his instruction, along with my strength, coordination, and appreciation for the sport. Not to mention--he's a fun guy with a good sense of humor and a passion for community! I recommend checking out his coaching at Gleason's.

Gleason's Gym is fantastic for serious training. Back in 2006, I loved the flexibility of showing up anytime to work out with my trainer. The intense sessions always left me drenched in sweat and feeling great. However, paying separately for the gym and trainer each month was costly. Despite this, the quality of training made it worth it. I even met Zab Judah, Paulie Malignaggi, and once, WWE wrestler Vito in a dress. A lot of famous fighters train here before their fights at MSG or Barclays Center..

Coach Ayan, or Panda, is the best you could ask for. He’s highly skilled and technically proficient, but manages to communicate complexity to beginners in accessible ways. He demands discipline and athletic excellence, but manages to make it fun and light-hearted (you’ll laugh through the pain!). Panda is just a genuinely good guy, a rare find in the world, and a wonderful guide on the road to being a better boxer. I couldn’t recommend anyone more.

Great gym, HIGHLY recommend the trainer Panda. He’s changed my life, this is the healthiest I’ve ever been in 26 years of life. My cardio is next level, he pushes me harder than anyone has in my life. From November to now I’m a completely different individual, Panda not only teaches me a high level of boxing, but also has taught me to utilize my elbows, knees, kicks, and do take downs.

I joined for simple boxing training and have gained so much more. PANDA IS THE BEST TRAINER IN NYC.

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!

This is another famous mecca of Boxing in New York (located in Brooklyn) currently at a new location. I went to the previous location and did some training with the legendary trainer Hector Roca. I was saddened to learn of his passing recently. He spent a lot of time talking to me about the mechanics of boxing and helping me refine my skills. I will do some training here while I am here but I will miss the great Mr. Roca in doing so. Thanks for all the hospitality and info!

My son gave Johnny Rozs $3000 dollars to join his wrestling program with all kinds of promises to help him become a pro wrestler. He also had him pay $100 dollars gym membership each month. When he failed to deliver the help promised , kyle, my son complained. JOHNNY then told kyle he shouldnt come to the gym anymore. I tried to investigate and was given the run around. Dont give $3000 dollars to this gym. No hope of getting what you are promised. Go elsewhere.
Johnny Rods runs his school at Gleasons gym. Kyle paid in addition to the $3000 , $100 dollars for gym membership to Gleasons gym .Owner of Gleasons gym offered no help since he said he was partners with Johnny Rodz . When I was advised by owner to speak to Johnny, a receptionist was rude and threatened me to not call.

Nel 2010 ho avuto l'onore di allenarmi e fare i guanti in questa palestra dove sono passati i più grandi del passato. Emozione straordinaria, una di quelle palestre in cui si respira ancora il talento di chi con il cuore è spesso diventato, passando di qua, un grande campione.

I started working with boxing trainer Raul Frank in February 2021 (right before the pandemic hit). Working with Raul saved my life. It was the only consistency, structure, and outlet I had. At the start of the pandemic, all the workouts were online via zoom, and when things began opening up again, we did a hybrid of zoom, Gleason's gym, and at the park (which was really fun). Raul taught me how to push myself, my mind, and my body. He believed in me and my strength and wouldn't let me give up when all I wanted to do was quit. Thanks to Raul, I am in the best shape of my life. You might hate him during your workout and throw a few cuss words here and there, but afterward, you are so thankful for his support and you feel AMAZING. Raul is more than a trainer to me; he is a mentor and friend. I highly recommend working with Raul!

This gym been in Brooklyn forever and growing up we used to train here. Now my son trains here too. Brooklyn has a gem with this place. Good people, over the years always had great trainers. You get the results of an art like boxing, martial arts through dedication and commitment. They are going to push you to be the best so with consistently it will match your results.
Some legends came from this spot and trained here. I'm sure they will have many more legends come out of here in the near future.

Great gym hands down!! My son loves it!! Everyone is friendly and they care about their clients. You spend money to get the best training possible. So if anyone talks about money and it's expensive, then they need to go elsewhere!!!!!! You learn from the best at this gym!!

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Gleason’s boxing! We came here from Nebraska for my husband to have a private lesson and it was a great experience! I appreciated how welcoming they were and my husband and I still talk about the experience. I thought the cost for the gym and the private lesson were very affordable, considering what you got for your money! I would 100% recommend Gleason’s to anyone

The way a boxing GYM should be like to begin with. It's the oldest boxing GYM in America. Anyone who knows about boxing, should also know about Gleason's GYM. Some great boxers came for this GYM, Mohamed Ali, Roberto Duran, even Iron Mike Tyson worked out here, Giacobbe "Jake" LaMotta nicknamed "The Bronx Bull" or "Raging Bull" and Tony Danza the actor came to Gleason's when he was trying to be a professional boxer in his younger years and there are many more as well. Google the history or swing by and ask for a tour from the owner who will fill you in on what's happen over the years.

Most of the staff is at 3 stars at best. Trainers are at different levels. Some do show they care about being a trainer and others are out to just make money off of you. The trainers them-self know who they are and what I mean by this.

The original location was in the Bronx, then they moved to 77 Front St which is around the corner from the latest place. That came with a makeover in decor and equipment with an improved facility but smaller space. They have a small store where you can purchase souvenirs, tee shirts, sweat shirts, boxing equipment and ect... You can also get Golden Gloves tournaments here.

The best part about this GYM is the owner, who's a great person. Most of important boxing fighters, even MMA and UFC fighters, that go to MSG and Barkley Center will show up here for Media day work out. So you get to see pro fighters here every now and then. In all, this GYM is good to try for yourself.

Es un gym auténtico, sin aspiraciones falsas, los coaches de distintas edades, estaturas tallas.. Todos ellos humanos, reales y amantes del boxeo.

No podía perder el chance y aprovechar para pegarle un poco al costal y seguir aprendiendo.

It was a great day in my life to visit NYC and work out at Gleason's. As an older guy with a card from out of town I made friends there easily and had such a great morning. I was invited to hang around in the office. A privilege and an honor! If you believe in the sport and work like you mean it, as best as you can, it's a place that will love you back.

I come to Gleasons often before and trained with Hector Roca, when he was away I was referred to a trainer called Martin Gonzalez. Martin Gonzalez from the very moment I met him make it known he only care about money and nothing else. he wanted me to pay 1 month in advance. I told him my training with him was temporary and when Hector comes back I will train with Hector again, he was very rude about it and told me that he was way better trainer than Hector Roca. I would avoid Gleason's for now while Martin Gonzalez is still there. He implied that Hector was a thing of the past.

I would recommend to avoid Martin Gonzalez as a boxing trainer if you value your money and time.
