Gym in Kansas City Area

[luapmandragon]

I've been looking for places to learn how to box in the KC area and came across http://www.ubcboxing.com . I just got an e-mail back from the owner/operator/trainer and he said they are operating at about capacity. However, I could train there but I'd need to take some private lessons at first to get me up to speed for the regular group training sessions since he wouldn't be able to give me enough attention in the group class. Makes sense to me and it looks like he has some decent fighters at the gym. My question is has anyone ever really heard of these guys and is $275 for the first month and $100 for each month after worth it? The reason it is $275 for the first month is because of the initial fee and the 4 private lessons. After that I should be ready for regular class which is only $100 a month for a gym that is open 6 days a week in the evenings.

Personally, I think it is slightly expensive but I'd be willing to pay it if it is a quality place. I'm going to try and sit in on a regular group session to get a feel for the place. I guess I'm really just looking for anyone's input on if this is a good gym and worth the money or not.

Sounds like a lot of money to me, $100 a month is pretty expensive. I would try to look around a little more and find some place else that you can compare it too. If it was $100 a month for private lessons then I could understand the high fee, but it seems pretty expensive. It would depend on what else they offer there.
