I am in the toronto area near markham and have been looking for a good boxing gym to start training, im so motivated to get goig and see how it is.. so some supoprt would be appreciatedd ..

How old are you? If you are still growing, don't worry about picking a weight to fight or walk around at. You may not need to put on or lose any weight, just manage it correctly. I'd suggest getting a medicine ball or kettle bell and looking online for some workouts. Even if you don't get seriously into boxing, either one will help you get into shape. If you use them right, along with some running or another form of cardio and some basic exercises, you will be on your way.

If you are serious about boxing, get in a boxing gym. Even if you just get a few classes in for now, it will help.

that's pretty late considering people start at a very young age.

but hey, if you're good, you're good. do not let age discourage you.

Sergio Martinez never stepped into a boxing gym until the age of 20.

then there is Antonio Tarver who did not have his first pro fight until the age of 28 or 29.


my suggestion would be:
to start training in a boxing gym immediately

and don't fret too much about gaining weight. as you get older it will be harder to stay at the lower weights, 130 at 5'8 is perfectly fine!

if your tight on space a good way to work out is with the TRX its made my fitnessanywhere! in my profile there is a link to a youtube video in which im using the TRX

Once you join the gym you choose, work on dedicating yourself and learning. Don't worry about weight and all that just yet, get into boxing shape first. Then take everything you learn and apply it in sparring. I work on certain things in different sparring sessions. Last time I worked on defense and boxing. It's all little steps. You'll learn a million things from your trainers. Take your time to get good at each thing you learned. Good luck bro !

5'8 at 130 isnt perfectly fine, thats borderline anorexic.he needs to eat. im sorry but he might become strong for his weight division, but in a real fight against people heavier than him(which most likely everyone will be), hed get smashed, lol, regardless of training experience.


go for it. bulk up,lift some weights and box your way to 145. just make sure you take in atleast 1x your bodyweight of grams of protein so you gain muscle and keep fat low when you burn it doing boxing.
