Ardon Sweet Science Gym

This boxing place gym is straight out the movies. The atmosphere/​energy of the place is empowering and motivative. It gives you the feeling like, if I show up and work hard, I could become a good/​great fighter (which ever you prefer). I’ve met pro’s, amateurs, and beginners train there. UFC, MMA, Muay Thai and kickboxing fighters train there too. I am really happy I have found this place.
Prosper and live long Ardons Sweet Science Gym.
And train me into the best fighter I can be, ill do all the work.

Such a great place to work out at the trainer is always helping you better your style. My fav is when we get to fight in the ring it really helps you be on point. Great place feels like a boxing gym should feel like.

The trainers as well as the other boxers are really friendly and helpful. As a beginner I found myself feeling anxious about joining any boxing gym, but from the first day I walked in I was greeted with smiles and encouragement from the staff and from other people training here. Now that I have a few weeks under my belt my trainer continues to nudge me forward, helping me in all aspects of my technique and never giving up on me even if it takes time for me to get it right. I wish I had found this place sooner. I was looking all over for a gym close to home and this gym located in Sunset Park is perfect.

I’ve been to several gyms and I always gravitate back to this one whenever I feel the need to hone my skills (boxing). There’s something about this gym that truly gets you motivated and in the zone. Also, this gym will improve your striking game in so many ways. I’ve been here for only two months after floundering about other gyms in the NY area and I’ve grown in SO many ways in such short amount of time that, quite frankly, I wouldn’t have been able to do elsewhere in more than quadruple that time period.
Aside from this gym having all the tools you need to further your striking skill set, this gym WILL make you lose weight. I’ve maintained myself at 156 lbs for the past two years and I managed to drop down to 147 lbs and somehow maintain my physique in the time that I was here.
As far as the atmosphere goes, you will find a wide range of fighters here, from people who are just beginning their combat journey to people who have competed on a professional level (MMA, Boxing, Muay Thai). Regardless of that difference, there is one thing that we all here have in common and that is that we are supportive of all gym members and have a very visible respect for each other. This gym has some of the nicest (and dangerous haha) people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting.
Lastly but not least, the gym owner, Greg Ardon, is an excellent teacher who is very friendly, knows his stuff, and knows how to progress your abilities. There is a reason why there is such a high level of success at this gym, and this man is responsible for most of it. I highly recommend this gym.

There is no better gym in New York.
Here you can not only find some of the most talented fighters in New York, but also friendly folks (both members and trainers assistants) who make it their goal to work with you to make you the best you can be.
This gym also has a reputation for helping folks cut weight. I know many members who have lost 30 — 80 (yes, 80!) lbs here! I myself saw a max loss of 28 lbs. (202 down to 174 at one point.)
Greg Ardon, the unassuming owner of this gym (known for his training of Hilary Swank in Million Dollar Baby), has a patient, quiet style that is combined with his extreme knowledge of fighting and a slick sense of humor.
With that being said, the biggest lessons you learn here are modesty, self-​confidence, and courtesy. These three things are more important than any bag you can hit, weight you can lift, or rope you can skip.
I highly recommend you try this gym.
2011 Update: This gym is now officially a pro gym. That means they can train pro fighters, represent pro fighters, and their fighters can compete on a professional level, as well.
