Am I at a quality Gym?

Yeah man sounds pretty typical, do they give you specific stuff to work on as individuals?

My advice to you is to practise only what they say, ie if he shows you footwork and the jab, work solely on that for the heavy bag and the floor/ceiling bag. Show the trainers that you are willing to listen and work hard and you will improve so much quicker rather than just flailing on a bag for a designated time period. Plus they will be more forthcoming with tips for you.

Yea after we do 3 rounds of shadowboxing we break off into groups (new people stay working on their footwork on the heavybag for more experienced new people and super new people just use footwork walking around in a square) Everyone else rotates after 3 rounds like I said to speed bag, double end bag, heavy bag, and maybe work pads with the Coach.

My only concern is that we won't do alot of sparring and I won't get the experience and coaching I need in order to compete.

ALSO When I been working on my footwork my back ankle literally gets stiff and tired is this typical of new boxers?

Yep, I remember many a times my calves cramping. Skipping, practise and proper pre workout nutrition will stop this over time.

Right now dont even think about sparring, after three sessions I doubt you could shadow someone with proper footwork. If it really bothers you ask the trainer when they do sparring so you can watch.
