Like the previous review, I also had a bad experience with LA Boxing. Thankfully, I opted to pay per month instead of a yearly contract. I even tried to get my monthly fee back 2 days after starting. Its really THAT bad. I was lied to about the gym being a real boxing gym. In reality it is just a regular old gym that charges $75 a month and tries to nickle and dime you for everything. They don't teach ANY boxing unless you pay some huge HOURLY rate. Its ridiculous. As if I thought my gym couldn't get bad enough, look at this email I just got from the gym manager.
""Hello,
As of Monday May 24th we will be charging a $3.00 rental fee for the use of gloves. We will be offering you gloves at a discount of $64.99 until the end of May. As of June 1st our gloves will be the regular rate of $84.99. A $20.00 savings if you buy now.
Our loaner gloves are only meant to be used for the first few classes. If you have any questions please feel free to ask us. We look forward to seeing all of you in the gym on a consistent basis reaching your goals.
Sincerely,
General Manager

WOW. This gym is now CHARGING for the use of boxing gloves. As if the $75 a month wasn't enough, now you must pay to use gloves. I mean, do they even want customers? This is equivalent to a fitness gym having a quarter slot to use the elliptical.
Just for reference, the gloves they charge $85 for, you could easily get for under $20. Here are some for $18 Not great gloves, but definitely better than their $85 crap. If you want good gloves, buy Ringside IMF gloves. They will run around $60. Very very high quality.
Back on this gym. This place is a joke. As you can see form their penny pinching and other reviews, their interest is in making money and not customer service. Stay far far away.
Pros: Good at taking your money and lieing about gym features
Cons: EVERYTHING!
