Grateful to be a part of the Media Launch of Elorde Boxing Gym at Café Lupe in Antipolo City. Thanks to Tag Media for gracing us the opportunity to meet Chef Albright and the well-experienced Elorde instructors.
Our group spent a night photographing the premises, putting questions to Coach Zaldy and finally engaging in a boxing session.

Elorde Boxing Gym
GYM LOCATION & TRAINERS
Why?
The location is ideal for a stress-free workout especially if you train in hot summer afternoons. Mind you, in my local gym, we tend to suffer from extreme heat because there are few small windows... But Elorde Boxing Gym in Cafe Lupe is well-ventilated. In addition, the view from the window can calm the senses. If you read my post about Cafe Lupe, you'd agree!
The head trainer, Coach Zaldy, is an ex-professional boxer who leveled up his career to being a trainer now. He showed us his license and talked a bit about his experiences as an ex-pro boxer. (There is another boxer who looks like a famous actor haha)

4 - Extra clothes to change after the sweat session.
5 - Do not eat a heavy meal at least 2 hours prior to your training.
