Thanks, but zanshin is entirely too expensive. I went and trained there on one of their "week trials". I went 2 days that week because I ended up having to work, then never went back because I realized it was too pricey for me...About a month later I got a bill for 200 euros. Apparently if you sign up for a week... it means youre really becoming a member. Good thing they didnt have much more info other than address.

There are several possibilites in Hamburg:
My old employer HT16 in HH-Hamm (the Hamm district) offers boxing classes at their fitness studio facility. The trainer is called Marion and she used to be the boxing trainer at the university sports society (UniSport). She is very competent, friendly and straight-forward. I used to train with her at the university facilities but that was a long time ago.
The link to HT16 fitness studio:

Call them to make an appointment. I am not sure, but I think you can join only the boxing sessions without needing to become a member. Tell them Khaled, the ex-trainer sent you (tell the studio not the trainer, she cannot remember me anymore. In case you it does not suit you, ask Marion which club or society she would recommend. I believe you can trust her judgement.
Other "Vereine" and clubs:
Thaiholics operated by Till Görres
Mühlenkamp 43
22303 Winterhude, Hamburg, Germany
040 27871828
http://www.boxingmovement.de/
This one offers strictly the training without the sparring. The main trainer, Till, is (was?) a professional Thai boxer who will instruct you during the sessions and point out what you can or should do. The schedule is structured similar to that of a fitness studio which means if you miss a class in the morning, you can join in during the afternoon or evening hours. Pay attention to the schedule.
Only Drawback is that it is mostly the "Winterhude" crowd, meaning there is no smiling or joking around. Everyone has a rather straight face and does not mingle. Maybe they did not like mingling with Südländer but I will never know. Prices are at aprx. 50 Euros a month.
HTB62 which is located near HT16 is also a Verein. Link to their boxing dept. is as follows:

Feels like a classic boxing session except the lessons are conducted in a big sports hall. Somewhat tough training, depending on your fitness level. The trainer, Dirk Meyer, also owns a sports equipment shop which can and does order high quality apparel. Sparring available and encouraged!

I do not know this one but a buddy of mine used to train with them for a VERY long time. I trust his judgement and he said it is worth a shot. They do have very affordable prices.
In case you are a student at one of the universities or higher learning institutes in Hamburg, you can join the university sports club/society. Their prices are reasonable and they offer almost every type of sports available to man. I think even bowling.
Otherwise here is a list of nearly every boxing sports club in Hamburg, courtesy of the Hamburg Amateurs Boxers Association.
