Go to a gym but not fight?

[tony477g]

This may be a ****** question but I was wondering if I could go to a gym and train like a boxer but not actually fight? Ive been hitting the heavy bag at home but i know my form is no good and i dont ever really see my power or speed increasing. So have you guys ever done this or if its even possible? Would the trainer be mad if I never go into the ring?

Im sure thats fine at alot of places.

should be fine. not everyone who goes to a boxing gym is serious about being a boxer. some just go to get a good workout.

Depending on the gym you go to there may be far more people there to learn and get in shape then to actually fight. Trainers will be happy with the money, they may not spend much time with you but they will happily let you pay them to do work in the gym.

Hell yeah, man. Get in there. Best cardio you could ask for.

I do some catch wrestling, and I have absolutely NO desire to get into an MMA cage.

Of course, in fact in most gyms they wont even let you spar until they think you're ready

[TGD]

Yes mate, get yourself along to your local boxing club. There is no pressure to get in the ring.

Go to fight but no gym?

[KingTito]

Absolutely. Get in there and get some good workouts in. You don't have to fight if you don't want to. There's nothing wrong with that.

It's fine everywhere.

Why would a trainer mind as long as he gets your fees?
