Is there usally an age limitation with gyms?
Can one be "too old" to spar at a gym?

absolutely not. Im 20 and I spar with a 45 year old regularly, then a 23 year old regularly. My old gym had like a 65 year old. Brother could do pull ups for like 20 minutes straight.
I'm 33 and I'm the oldest competing boxer at our gym. I spar older non competing people sometimes but I would not call that real sparring because I get a clear assignment and need to hold back a lot. Former competing boxers, now that's a whole different story.
