Boxing gym have put me on reserve list, no where else to go

[boxer1234]

Theres only 2 boxing gyms I can afford in my town, one has me on their reserve list to join and the other isnt an option and too far.
Ive been waiting for 4 weeks now and still no word, all i want to do is train with a coach and get some quality sparring in.
This way i can box as an amateur

Ive stopped training altogether now because I feel the training is somewhat pointless, any suggestions?

what do you mean, RESERVE list?

Either you join or you don't.

Ask them, "do you want my fucking money or not?"

According to them they can only hold a maximum of 14 people, so until someone leaves I cant join.
They are the only club thats part of the ABA amateur organization in my town so its even worse.

Von I can kind of see this,everybody I train is by appointment only. I want to donate all of my time for their money.,and some days Im too full up. The downside is I'll hit dry spells when nobody seems to want to train. It goes both ways,but I think I produce superior fighters that way.

We have a waiting list at my gym to weed out people who aren't committed. It's usually 3 months. I waited 6 months and on the first day my coach was taking new people I called and was there and 100% ready. I'd say a good 80-90% of people who are told they have to wait 3 months never come back.

well would you?

Also, what's the harm in letting a kid join? No, you can't work with everyone all the time, but kids can come in a hit the bag, spar, etc.

Sorry but show me a guy who turns away membership dues and I'll show you a guy who needs the help of a business consultant.

I honestly don't get this. I mean, sure I've gone to the gym before and it was packed and couldn't get on a bag. But I either left or hung out until it cleared out a bit. I'd even help out by working mitts or footwork/shadow boxing in the mirror with the young kids and beginners.

You also have to consider the size of the gym,it varies from region to region.
Sometimes you just dont have the room, let alone the time to devote to kids

Its also pretty ridiculous that they only open twice a week

Well, we only have one coach and he needs to concentrate his efforts on coaching those of us who compete. He's wasted a lot of time on kids who show up for one month and then we never hear from them again. The place we train, we only have it for 2 hours/3 nights a week. So we need to get the most out of our time there. Not waste it showing some kid how to jab only for him to quit because he doesn't like doing sprints.
