Do boxers train at 2 different gyms?

    For example..I know boxers like Andre Ward, or Omar Henry have trained at places like 24 Hour Fitness, which i know isn't a boxing gym so it's safe to assume they are working on cardio there or whatever..

    at my boxing club, there's no equipment like treadmill...bike..ect. We just work on technique, spar...skip rope. whatever.

    Do any of you guys train at a completely seperate gym for your cardio?

    I personally don't but if you want to lift weights or use treadmills or whatever, go for it. Why not?

    Sorry, but this question is just dumb. Why would you not go to a gym to do cardio if your boxing gym doesn't have the equipment?
