Boxing Gym Question?

I went to the boxing gym yesterday and I wasn't impressed. There was I guess what you could call a trainer and only one other guy. I told him I wanted to box. I had hand wraps and he didn't even show me how to wrap them. He just sat on a table and watched me and the other guy hit the heavy bags for about an hour and a half. He would occasionally say keep your right up after the jab. Other than that their wasn't any instruction. He wouldn't hold the heavy bag, sh** he barely moved off the table. I was so sick of the heavy bag I went to the speed bag. With a half hour left we did push ups, sit-ups, and jumping jacks and that was it.

Is this normal please let me know?

Lol @ him sitting there while you are hitting the heavy bag. ::) How much did you have to pay for that? I'm trying to get enough money to go to this gym. It's $100 down and $50/month. If I got somebody like you just described, man would I be pissed.

I knew I was never going to come back, so I said It's $20 bucks a month right. He said yep, I keep everthing written down so I know when dues are up. Ok I'll bring the money when I come tomorrow. Walking out I was thinking, boy I just saved myself $20 bucks. LOL
