Nestled within the Catskill Mountains in New York was Grossinger’s Training Camp. It was an incredible location located next door to Grossinger’s resort camp and the Grossinger Hotel. The resort enjoyed its heyday in the 1950s. It offered a quiet retreat ideal for fighters seeking an escape from the concrete jungles of big cities.
Sprawling training grounds, a pool, and even the food was quite grand. It boasted a breadth of running trails, exercise rooms, rings for sparring, and the general solitude that was such an appeal to those who were focused on upcoming bouts, or just trying to excel with their training.
Many of the greatest boxers in history understood how important it was to be mentally focused and tough, just as it was to be in peak physical condition. It’s why the champions found places like Grossinger’s Training Camp to be such a vital key to their success.
Rocky Marciano was one of the greatest champs to come through Grossinger’s Training Camp as he spent more than three years honing his skills at this location. Some considered Grossinger’s to be Marciano’s ‘office’ during that time, because of his commitment to this location. The great George Chuvalo has fond memories of those ‘incredible training grounds.’ Champions found places like Grossinger’s Training Camp to be such a vital key to their success.
Pulling on a Grossinger’s Training Camp shirt can inspire that same pursuit of perfection in every task you take on. Style and comfort tucked in your own private training camp

Great Retro Shirt!
When I was younger, my family used to go to the Catskills every year. Among those vacations were trips to the famous Grossinger’s.
I have amazing memories of those vacations and always get nostalgic when I think about them. For that reason, I had been looking for a Grossinger’s t shirt for a long time.
I had almost given up when this popped up (amazing how some of these targeted ads find you!) and immediately purchased the shirt. I wasn’t expecting much with a lot of the low end t shirts that scatter throughout Amazon, but I was really pleasantly surprised. The shirt is really high quality- very soft, very comfortable , and fits perfectly. The printing is crisp, looks great, and captures the retro feel. The shirt washed well – no shrinkage or fading.
Highly recommended!

Lots of Sentimental Value
I love that this shirt exists now. My newest prized possession. It will certainly be a conversation starter for all those that knew and loved Grossinger’s Resort. I was fortunate enough to watch Larry Holmes and Roberto Duran train there. But the hidden meaning for me is that it is where I got my “training” as a show drummer, as did many other professionals in a variety of fields.
Great! I love it!
I will purchase more products from this xxiv-vii. Thank you very much.
Was a great gift for my father in law to reminisce over the good old days at Grossinger!
Great quality T remembering the great all inclusive retreat.
