Is it worth training in my gym?

[BigMKO]

Here are a few problems I have with my gym :-

People smoking, and regularly
Very small (contains a small ring with 3 bags, and 2 speedballs, there is barely any space espescially for skipping)
no one my age or weight to spar (i'm 15 5ft10, closest a 20 year old who still smaller, next closest a huge cruiserweight about 6ft2)
Only open 4 nights a week, for two hours
Sometimes seriously overcrowded

I love boxing but I don't think I can fulfill any of my potentials at this gym. I've been boxing here for a good while, and all they seem to teach us is the punches, and a few obvious tips about footwork. Is it worth training here, or should I go find one with better facilities? (I might just be nit picking, I dunno do most gyms have all these problems?)

What kind of ****ing gym lets people smoke

[BigMKO]

yeah I said to one guy "should you be smoking in a ****ing gym, isn't the whole point of it to gain fitness?" and he said "half the ****in pro boxers in the world smoke" (to which I should of said "half the pro boxers in the world have records of 0-1).

im a smoker, and ill usually have a smoke after i workout, but DURING a workout? jesus christ.

Holy hell. In your other thread I heard say something about a better gym but its farther away. I'd go with that.... I can only go twice a week because I don't have my own car yet and its so far away. But its good quality training and VERY good quality gym. Best in the state infact.

I know if fomebody tried to light a cig in my gym it would be there last day. other than that fact your problems are mute. if you have an apponent that is your weight and skill level it doesnt matter his age. He would be a potential sparring partner. if your not comfy in that gym switc there has to be pleny out there
