Gleason’s Gym has been around since 1937 and is the oldest working gym in the US. Many of the world’s famous boxers, including Jake LaMotta, Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson, have trained at the New York gym. Gleason’s are currently training six world champions and for the first time in the gym’s history they are all women.
