Penalosa Boxing Gym - Araneta Center

RV Jornales

Cleaner than a lot of other gyms, and solid crew of trainers working there. They're all super nice (the ones I've met, when I go during the day, at least). I was hit by a motorcycle while cycling last year, then ended up having spinal surgery, and it was actually hard to find a gym where the trainers listened to me about that, and actually were concerned and would ask about whether I was okay doing something first. At a little over 200lbs, I'm kind of a big dude, and having a weakness like that, in the middle of my body, that can cause so much pain and mobility issues, so it was great to find people I could work with as I slowly get stronger, and try to maintain strength and flexibility. I grew up doing martial arts, so I can get a bit frustrated feeling like I'm starting over, but the guys there keep me on track, moving forward. The only critique I have is that the men's restroom seems to need a bit of maintenance, but I wouldn't let that deter anyone from how great everything else is about this place. I'm a fairly quiet person who keeps to himself, but even my brief interactions with the other people who go there have always been friendly. 4.5 out of 5, from me.
