I am thinking about starting training with a boxing gym this summer...

what is a good workout as far as weightlifting, running, etc to start to get prepared?

It depends on what your current shape is. There are many things you can do outside of a gym to train or prepare. Running, pull-ups, push-ups, jump rope, ab workouts...

Just give your body enough time to rest in between and at first don't push it if you're not in a good physical condition. If you strain a muscle or something you'll end up losing important training time.

If you're familiar with boxing fundamentals shadow box just make sure you do it correctly. You don't wanna pick up bad habbits.

Best bet though is getting to that gym faster

Correct.

Just go to the gym. Sure you'll be really tired at first but nothing will get you in shape ready to box like boxing will, and if you start now you will have a few extra months of actual technical boxing training that you won't get if you spend the time running and doing weights on your own.

only problem is i wont be moving to where the gym is until this summer, so im just trying to get things going from a conditioning standpoint until then.

get to the gym asap and start from there.

unless you have a bag and training equipment then just stick with the basics

puhsups
situps
jumprope
running
plyometrics

Ok then in that case:

Lots of running
Abwork
Pushups/pullups/squats/burpees
Skipping
Clean up your diet

Do the routine in this video 3 times per week.

Don't do any shadow boxing or bagwork or any technical stuff when you don't have a proper trainer because you're just likely to develope bad habbits that will be harder for you to break when you start training at the gym.
