Best thing you can do for yourself and your child is join this gym. When me and my son came through the doors it was kinda nerve racking and intimidating. People seen we were new and gave us handshakes and words of encouragement. That means a whole lot to me. The coaches and people training make you feel welcome.

The history alone at this gym is five stars. The feel and the ownership is top notch. Being from Brooklyn and having something like this for the youth is second to none. Such an amazing gym, I would recommend to anyone. Check it out for yourself! 🥊

This a beautiful gym enriched with family values and mores extended down from the founder Jimmy O’Pharrow. If you’re looking to place your child or joining yourself. This is the perfect place for a pugilist.

Used to train here back in the days of Jimmy O', Mr. Tate and Bobby. These were men who gave of themselves for their community and built incredible athletes. I KNOW Jimmy O' was putting money out of his own pocket to for trainers to teach kids who who couldn't necessarily afford a trainer. He did this just to keep kids off the streets...which really weren't such bad streets in the 80's, at least not in Starrett. I know most of this stuff is irrelevant today, but I had to say something about these guys.

Thank you for your positive review and talking about how important Starrett City Boxing Clubs legacy is. My grandfather Jimmy “O” along with Mr. Tate, Mr. Slayton and others believed in community and how important it is to invest in our young people. Starrett City Boxing Club will continue with our mission to rescue young men and women from areas of hopelessness that seems to pervade areas of high crime and unemployment.
