Ok folks, heres the skinny…

Did Muhammad Ali actually train here?  Yes.  Was Angelo Dundee his trainer?  Yes again.  Well, now trainers Matt Baiamonte, Dino Spencer, and Tom Tsatas have revisited a page in history and re-opened the 5th Street Gym right here in the heart of South Beach.  Folks, it’s time to put down your Cuban cigars and put on your boxing gloves.

Now, just walking in this place you feel the spirit and you’re pumped to do something.  Even if you’re not a fighter, it burns through your blood and you’re ready for some action!  (At least you think you are :-))

After about 15 minutes of taking pictures, I almost considered putting down my camera and hopping in the ring for a quick sparring session.  Now honestly, that’s HUGE because I don’t put my camera down for no one you hear me, no one (in my Joe Pesci voice).

Like I was saying, if you’re a fighter looking for a local place to train and be apart of the history, this place is for you. If you’re not a fighter and just want to get your butt kicked in one of the cardio classes, you might go home crying that night because “momma-said-knock-you-ouuuut“…
