Newman's Gym

Newman's Gym was originally located on the ground floor of the Cadillac Hotel (built in 1907) on Leavenworth and Eddy Streets in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco, CA, USA.

The gym opened in 1924. After the death of owner Billy Newman in 1983, it was moved from the ground floor of the Cadillac Hotel around 1984 to a block south on Leavenworth near Golden Gate. It finally closed in 1992.

Jack Dempsey, James J. Braddock, Joe Louis, Sugar Ray Robinson, Rocky Marciano, Sonny Liston, Cassius Clay, George Foreman, Gerry Cooney and Sugar Ray Leonard all trained there.
