I recently joined a boxing gym a couple weeks ago this is my 3rd gym as the others never seemed to satisfy me but this gym is very good only problem being the warm up calisthenics and end of the training calisthenics. Before training I do 3 sets of 25 pushups, crunches, and bodyweight squats and also 3 sets of 15 of a dumbbell shoulder exercise then after 4 rounds of shadow boxing, then onto 15 mins of jump rope, then 3 rounds of speed back, then a 20 min run, then 3 rounds on heavy bag and finally finish off with 4 sets of 25 pushups , sit ups, and bodyweight squats with a medicine ball and 4 sets of 15 dumbbell shoulder exercise. My first day was very rough as I was sore because of the calisthenics. I also work very physical job in the manufacturing industry 8 hours a day. My question is, is this too much for a beginner?? Im not used to the 25 reps so it was always intimidating me because I felt it was too much and I had to build up otherwise I was just injuring myself. I was going everyday with no days to rest. I told trainer id like to train for golden gloves so he said he's conditioning me but just feels too much since im not super in shape.. I haven't gone in about a week due to the holidays and spending time with family. Any advice? Or is it just that my body is weak right now and really is just hurting and fatiguing from not being used to this amount of work.

You should not only be pushing yourself in the gym...but at home. My opinion. You can do it.
One thing I would caution against is doing all of that prior to a sparring session. There should be designated spar days. No sense exhausting yourself then going in the ring to get pummeled because you are not at your best.
Most guys have their own running regime they do on their own. That works a bit better than cramming it into boxing gym time.
I suggggessst you start running every morning at the very least.

No that's too much by any means. You'll adapt quick.
One thing I Would def change is doing any strength training before training. Do that stuff after your boxing workout.
Make sure to get enough sleep and proper nutrition you'll be fine.
