Yes time for another gym. Nothing beats free weights.
I started off using a Smith Machine because i had access to one and i worked out alone. When i lost my access and switched to using dumbells i have noticed a strength increase in my upper body. The added ROM of the free weights coupled with using stabilizers muscles has definately made a difference.
The major complaint about Smith Machines for squats is it forces your body in an unatural ROM which puts extra stress on the joints, muscles and ligaments.
