Posted on | July 11, 2007 | 1 Comment
Here’s some quick news about a local book-signing, a statement of our policy on minors, and some more information on our upcoming fantasy camp.
Book-Signing
There will be a book signing at Portobello’s Pizzeria & Sicilian Kitchen at 43 Murray Street (Broadway & Greenwich) from 2-4 PM on July 26th.
On hand at Bill Farrell’s book-signing for his very popular Cradle of Champions will be New York standouts Paulie Malignaggi, Dominic Monaco, Vito Antuofermo, Derrick Rossy, and Lou Savarese.
Gleason’s Policy on Minors
Due to insurance concerns minors cannot be in attendance if they are not members of the gym. The youngest membership starts at 7 years of age. No guests nor children will be allowed in the gym while you are working out. If you do not have a babysitter then please stay at home, since we are not equipped to provide that service.
At Gleason’s Events, such as our monthly boxing shows, all children under the age of 7 will be required to pay half price. They must be supervised by an adult. If they are not well behaved and start to run around the gym both the adult and the child will be asked to leave.
If you have any questions regarding this policy please call the gym prior to arrival.

Our “Hall Of Fame” includes Jake La Motta “The Raging Bull”, Ali, Tyson, Jones, Laporte, Breland. Gleason’s Gym is proud to be the home of Heavyweight World Champion Oleg Maskaev.
Boxing Camp
If you like baseball you cannot go to Yankee Stadium and train with the Yankees, nor can you go to Madison Square Garden and shoot hoops with the Knicks. Boxing is the only sport where you can actually train next to champions and top contenders. We are offering you that same opportunity with our annual Fantasy Boxing Camp.
Your camp will include intensive boxing discussions, coaching sessions, ring craft, sparring and training drills. At the end of the camp you will have the chance to showcase your new found skills in our Fantasy Camp Sparring Show. Our camp will give you the chance to learn from the world class trainers such as Hector Roca, Olympic Gold Medallist and World Champion Mark Breland, 5 Time World Champion Carlos Ortiz and 2 Time World Champion Juan La Porte amongst others. Professional and amateur sparring partners will also be available to help with your training. Men, women and children are all welcome. No previous boxing experience is necessary- we cater to all skill levels.
