Words will never suffice.A life-altering experience for my son who had a lesson with Talap,an absolute master of his craft.
I will never be able to thank him enough or be able to pay him his worth.
He would easily be worth his weight in gold and then some.
I am as embarrassed to have paid such a reasonable price for his time and expertise, as I am extremely grateful .
He was everything a trainer should be and more.
An absolute legend.
Gleasons is filled with the spirit of greatness.
The boxers ,trainers ,receptionists were all exceptional.
The more I interacted with them,the more my respect grew.
In my humble opinion ,
within those walls ,
is one of the best ,if not the best place in the world ,
to learn boxing.
It would be a privilege to return here and spend more time with Talap and to build more memories here.

The best part of our trip to New York apart from the Taylor Serrano fight was crossing over Brooklyn Bridge and visiting Gleasons gym. The welcome and kindness we received there was fantastic and meeting the Coach and Boxing historian Hector Rocca was an amazing experience. The man is a mine of knowledge and an absolute Gentleman as well giving us his time and expertise on both the Saturday and Sunday. This was an absolute pleasure and highly appreciated and recommended.

I had to visit this place myself as i have my own Boxing gym in the UK. It is well equipprd and has that worn in feel that old style Boxing gyms have. It had a friendlier more welcoming feel also and it wasnt a daunting task walking through yhe front door. A must visit for people who train in and around Boxing circles.

Walked past Gleason's on our way to get hot chocolate down the street. Recognized the name from the 70s, didn't know it had moved to Brooklyn. Stopped in and were delighted with the friendly staff inviting us to look around. Great history and memorabilia. Loved it.

Even if you are not interested in Boxing, but especially if you are interested in a real Boxing Gym you will not want to miss going to Gleason's Gym. These are the best, kindest and most extraordinary people ever - from Jeanette on the front desk who couldn't have been nicer to us - she made us feel like family - to the champion trainers Hector Roca and Leon "Cat" Taylor as well as Queen Ronica Jeffrey, Feather Weight World Champion who actually talked with us and took pics with us. We enjoyed our visit to the gym it was like being home. Everybody treated us so good we didn't want to leave. Also check out the history of this gym it is as extraordinary as the people you meet there. Gleason's Gym is so much more then a Boxing Gym they have all kinds of programs for families as well as persons with Parkinson's they are interested in people being the best they can be no matter where they are in their life.
