There are cheaper, more specific rates for particular classes and times, but I feel like this is the best value and that he's not really screwing me at all. I mean the guy does need to make a living.

However, the boxing was a friggin arm and a leg. There are 3 programs of fight, only the last of which is any contact person to person.



If you 'pre-register' for all three its $700 instead of $900. But holy shit, that seems like a lot of money still. This isn't exactly chain, but its probably the only serious gym that I found on the internet around the western part of the state. This is the one I'm a little skeptical about.
