This is an amazing proper boxing gym! The place is great, with bodybuilding machines, weights, bags and everything you need to train.
It is very motivational to train there, the place is a bit "rough" (compared to a fitness gym) as you'd expect from a gym where people are there to sweat and not pose front of the mirror. However the machine are always clean, unlike some fitness gym where benches and so on are always full of sweat. It’s a real plus for me.
Everyone is welcome there, first time I get there I felt welcome like a family member and people say hello to each other! You don’t need
