What are the weight classes in boxing?

Are boxing classes worth it?
Boxing classes are worth it if you're looking for a good whole-body workout or want to learn self-defense. Boxing is easier to learn and inexpensive compared to many gym memberships or martial arts classes.
Boxing is not only a good cardio workout, it also works out the arms, legs, and core. This fighting style also releases tension in a safe environment while helping you reach fitness goals.
How many boxing classes should I attend per week?
Most people attend boxing classes 1 to 3 times per week, though this depends on your budget and schedule. For the best results, consider exercising at the gym or at home in between classes to build strength and endurance.
What should I wear to a boxing class?
Wear comfortable, lightweight clothing and shoes to a boxing class. Most people wear shorts and a T-shirt or tank top. Remember to bring a water bottle and small towel to hydrate and remove sweat during the workout.

Coach Solomon has been absolutely phenomenal! I am writing this as someone who is an amateur/intermediate boxer. When I first started I knew nothing about boxing and now over nearly a year later there has been phenomenal improvement since that time.
I had a chance to work with Coach Solomon since last June and have been working with him ever since.
He has been teaching me how to box as well as physical fitness training.
It has been an awesome experience both physically, mentally,
Physically I have lost 35 pounds, my body has gotten more fit than it has been in a decade. While on the other hand mentally my confidence and sense of self has greatly improved.
Coach Solomon does an awesome job at teaching you how to box, exercise, and keep track of you one on one. He will send out weekly texts that tell you what you need to work on when you are not meeting.
The boxing style itself is very different from the style that is taught here in the States. He teaches a very European style of boxing which gives you a great deal of variation when boxing with local opponents.
The first few weeks you work on footwork, then move on over to other aspects such as:
-Jabs
-Right Straight
-Uppercuts
-Hooks (Left and Right)
-Combinations
-Endurance
You will be during endurance training, agility training, and tactic training as well (How to counter an aggressive opponent, etc).
Overall, Coach Solomon is perhaps the best trainer in the city of Houston by far. I've gone to many of the gyms in the area after starting with Coach Solomon and none of them offer the training and personal coaching that he will offer you.

Uriel is one of the hardest working and knowledgeable coaches I know. On top of being an active fighter that can help you master any standing technique (boxing, kickboxing, and my favorite, Muay Thai) he has, and could do, any workout he puts you through. Uriel is a great motivator, and always brings the jokes along with the motivation. A great dude and a great teacher, check him out, for sure.

If you are looking to learn boxing (with proper techniques/form), improve your boxing, and also improve your fitness, I highly recommend working with Niles. He is not only experienced and professional but is also very patient and truly cares for his students. From working with Niles, my boxing has further improved, and I am able to catch the mistakes that I am making to improve on my boxing techniques. One of the things I love about working with Niles is when he provides the reason/"why" behind what we are working on. For example, he'll explain why a specific punch is added to end the combination because that is how you'll know whether you threw the 2nd to last punch correctly. He is also able to put the "theory" into practice by explaining what would happen in an actual fight. In summary, you'll learn a lot when working with Niles.
