a little help...

[seanyseanybean]

I am interested in doing boxing but i cant find any boxing gyms near me, does any one know any in my area. I drive so getting around shouldnt be too much of a problem. I live in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, England.
Will i be welcome in a boxing gym? I am 20y/o 5'8 and 10st (140ibs). Will they think i am too small or too old to start?
What should i do if i cant find a gym?

Any comments will be much appreciated.

First of all...I dont know of any gym that wouldnt except you. Youll be fine in that department. As for finding a city...these are the best I could do. I dont know England so I hope theyre close to you.

thanks for your help, but none of those are near me.

Sorry. At least I tried. Hey, didnt you say you have a car? Drive to them if youre that desperate.
