Ready To Rumble… Anacostia Style?

September 21, 2010

Tony’s Boxing Gym is likely one of the oldest fitness centers in Historic Anacostia. The gym is set up in a warehouse on 2201 Shannon Street SE and tucked behind the Big Chair near MLK Blvd SE.

Mr. Anthony “Tony” Bell Sr. President and CEO made his mark in Anacostia by targeting long time residents with a diverse yet intense boxing fitness regime.

The gym functions as a one-stop shop with treadmills, stationary bikes, weight lifting and basically a safe place for men to release a lot of aggression on each other’s faces.

“Tony” and his trainers were very personable and friendly. I tried to slip in a potential yoga class for the buff bodied clientèle only to receive looks of confusion and suspicion.

Tony’s Boxing Gym is another bastion of Historic Anacostia that I hope to check out again. But you bet I will stay outside of the ropes next time.

    Oh Thank You so much for this post!…Awesome to know this is available-great cross training considering I just signed up at Anacostia Health and Wellness Center =)

  2. Hey Jo! Yeah maybe we can convince Tony to do a Kickboxing class. I took one at LA Boxing that was killer, but too expensive.

    I would love to see a ladies boxing match in Anacostia!

    Thanks for visiting AnacostiaYogi, spread the word about Health and Wellness in SE.

  11. I think what you said was actually very reasonable.
    However, think about this, what if you were to write a killer headline?
    I mean, I don’t wish to tell you how to run your website,
    however what if you added something that grabbed people’s attention? I mean Ready
    To Rumble… Anacostia Style? – Anacostia YogiAnacostia Yogi is a little vanilla.
    You should peek at Yahoo’s front page and note how they write post titles to get viewers to open the links.
    You might try adding a video or a related pic
    or two to get readers excited about what you’ve got
    to say. Just my opinion, it might make your posts a little bit more interesting.

    Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more
    than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and all.
    But think about if you added some great graphics or videos to give your posts more, “pop”!
    Your content is excellent but with pics and clips, this site could certainly be one of the best in its field.
    Great blog!
