Woodside Boxing Academy — Local services in New York

Purchased a month-long membership and multiple "personal training" session. Would give this place zero stars if I could.

My "personal training" sessions with Charlie, the owner of the gym, consisted of me jump roping, bag punching, doing push ups, etc., all while he hung out and talked to other folks at the gym. The dude definitely picks favorites and ignores you if you're not part of his inner circle. During push ups, he repeatedly cursed at me and threw things in my direction. Other times, Charlie would yell at other folks around the gym and tell them to help me with conditioning. He never lifted a finger during any "personal" session.
