I have been reviewing my previous edits against the cited sources, in this case I originally added this wording in this edit, the source directly supports that, under Bruce Silverglade, Gleason's Gym admitted businessmen and women to train there. However, the current cited wording adds broader categories such as "amateur", "recreational", and "community" boxing programs that are not directly supported by that specific source (I know they are by another source I previously found) but the list gives the sentence some kind of promotional tone.
Current: Under Silverglade, the gym expanded beyond professional boxing to include amateur, recreational, white-collar, and community boxing programs.
Suggested: Under Silverglade, Gleason's opened its training to a wider range of participants, including businessmen and women.
I hope this sounds better. Thank you t anyone who's willing to help me out with this. Kaspar-trout (talk) 19:27, 7 September 2026 (UTC)
