All amateur boxers must
register with USA Boxing before beginning boxing at any registered boxing club; the cost
is $35.00 per year. Gym dues are $25.00 per month. So the total cost to
start is $60.00 for amateur boxers starting out at Barry's Boxing
Center. For those who are 21 yrs. old and
older, gym dues are $50.00 per month and you
must register with USA Boxing.
Everyone is required to have a pair of hand
wraps which you can buy from us if you
choose for $10.00. You will also need boxing
or wrestling shoes within the first month because we do not allow
regular street shoes on our ring canvases, and a mouthpiece by the time coaches
say you are ready to begin sparring. top

provides you with secondary
insurance should you get hurt.
Your monthly dues allow you full use of the boxing
facility and weight area,
instruction by our registered and certified coaches,
group classes, and the
use of all our equipment.
