	Progress On The New Facility

Main Street Gym will be opening and relocating to a new building in Salisbury, Maryland. The new gym is a much larger structure (125’ x 175’) than the current gym.

This new venue will host amateur boxing shows along with other events to help Main Street Gym. The opening date for the new gym has not been determined.
