Home boxing workouts can be tough to pull off, especially when it comes to getting a similar level of feedback that you’d get at the gym. But FightCamp uses tracking devices that slide into your hand wraps to monitor your workouts, logging every punch you through into the connected app.
FightCamp has a range of package options, but MH editor Brett Williams, NASM tested the “Personal” package, which includes a stand-up heavy bag, floor mat, wraps, gloves, and trackers. “The heavy bag is hands down the best freestanding punching bag I’ve used,” Williams says, noting that the bag ring does a solid job of keeping the bag from flying around once you start punching.
FightCamp’s streaming classes aren’t live and interactive, but the brand has a leaderboard where you can see how you rank against others who have taken the class. You can compete against specific users or even your past performance, giving you more motivation as you progress.
FightCamp provides more than 3,000 on-demand classes, with some routines featuring pushups and targeted core work alongside punch combinations. FightCamp also has the option of using its in-app radio stations (broken down by genre) or streaming your own Spotify, Apple Music, or Pandora playlists.
Just be aware that FightCamp requires some solid floor real estate (at least 7 by 4 feet, according to the brand). That can be tough to pull off in smaller spaces. But if you’ve got the room or are open to outdoor workouts, it’s worth a look.
