I dont want to “fight” anyone, but all boxers are lean mean-machines. I am thin but would like to build some muscle and work on my fitness level, can I do this in a boxing gym without having to fight?
Also do those guys accept outsiders or people who are just in it for fitness/fun?

I have a up and coming fight in 8days for the past week i have felt run down, i have eased down on training work load im just wondering will this effect my boxing fitness? for example instead of sprints and high paced running i have changed it to steady state running. i have still been going to the boxing gym but not doing as much as usual. some feedback would be great thanks.

I live in a fairly small city. I am 35 and was considering taking boxing as a means to fitness. I can’t find one. I take Brazilian Jujitsu, but would like to take boxing as well. There are MMA classes, Karate, Taekwondo, Kungfu, everything except for boxing. Why is that?
