Any gyms with sparring around here?

[Cobb_Web]

Hey everyone,

I haven't really posted on this part of the forum yet, so most of you probably won't be familiar with me, I'm usually most active in the art/photo forum.

Ne ways. . .

I'm 5'9ish around 240 pounds, 20 years old next month. I don't really work out that often because I just don't really have the motivation to do so, some might call it laziness haha.

I've been thinking, and I feel like if I could practice boxing and spar with say medium impact or something that I would find "working out" much more enjoyable and not "boring" or anything. I live in the New Tampa area, and a lot of the gyms near me (Lifestyles, LA Fitness, and the like) dont offer that kind of stuff from what I can tell.

I'm not looking to become a pro boxer or anything like that, just a place where i can train and just spar for fun and lose weight and get fit in the process.

I just don't know of any places that offer that sort of stuff, so I'm here looking for any info on such places in the area. I imagine it might even have to be some sort of boxing specific gym. Any help would be beneficial. Thanks.

Calta's does. I actually have a membership to them with 20 months left on it. 40/month with 24/7 access to the Waters location and the Bearss location. they have a boxing trainer at both locations every evening. If you want the membership I'd be happy to transfer it to you at a slightly reduced price from what I paid (you pay monthly, I'd just throw you a few bucks for taking it off my hands to make up the difference), because you'd save me a lot of trouble I'm going to have to go through to cancel it due to bieng mislead about their cancellation policy in the first place.

Either way, it beats killing your family.

I'll see both your injuries and see it...nothing.

I love not aching and not hurting and not having anything pulled, stressed, or fractured. I want to get back into working out because I don't like looking like a powder puff and I don't like being weak (comparitively), but man, its so easy to function in my day to day life without having to worry about busting my ass at the gym.

So which 'suppliment' is that a side effect of?
