That sounds a little excessive as far as pay goes.

Try to find a new gym, there are a good amount of $25 a month gyms that will train you just as well, especially at this level where you need the fundamentals. Group atmosphere can be good, also competitive.

That's just my 2 cents. middle-aged folks tend to go for the one on ones at that rate/higher. If the gym is more on the cheap and has signs reminding everyone to "be at training 5 days a week or you don't fight" all over the place they tend to be more focused on making fighters.

I'm 36 and I still box, but I've been doing it for 8 years now.

The reason I have one on ones is because I get the full attention of the trainer.
He can teach me more and spend time with me and watch me wher I'm going wrong and put it right so I'll learn quicker.
With a group your not getting his ful attention so you could be going wrong and he wouldn't notice straight off.
I hope to be a semi pro at 30 that's 2 years is that achievable only time and effort will tell.
I train hard core 7 days a week now.

Only thing I need to no is is it worth weight training ? On top of the boxing training?

I'm 23 years old and now the best time for me to start my boxing career. I dont expect to be a world champion or anything. For me I've always loved the sport and figured it would be a shame to never get in the ring. I just wanna test myself against regional competition and maybe earn a couple hundred bucks a fight.
