Gleason's Gym 2008 Fantasy Camp Has Concluded!
By Bruce Silverglade
Greetings!
The Gleason's 2008 Fantasy Boxing Camp ended last week. It was a great time and probably the best one yet. I say that every year, but everyone gets better and better. We had thirty-five attendees from England, Slovenia, Canada, France, Wisconsin, Florida, North Carolina, Massachusetts, Washington, Washington D.C., New Jersey, Connecticut, and New York. We had boys and girls ranging in age from pre-teen to early seventies. Some were new to boxing and some were veterans of the sport. Everyone enjoyed the interaction and the amazing training from our stellar group of instructors.
The instructors were comprised of Hall of Fame boxers, Olympic Gold Medal Winners, current champions, contenders and ranked trainers. The list included: Emile Griffith, Carlos Ortiz, Mark Breland, Juan LaPorte, Iran Barkley, Hector Roca, Alicia Ashley, Melissa Hernandez, Belinda Laracuente, Terry Southerland, Martin Gonzalez and Yuri Foreman. All of these greats under one roof and working one on one with the attendees.
All of the people at the camp will receive a CD with almost 600 pictures from the time they arrived until the time they departed. The pictures will also be posted on the Gleason's Web Site:
I want to thank everyone that was at this years camp from the attendees to the trainers and staff for making this camp such a big success. Start getting ready for next year. It will be over the Labor Day Weekend again.
