Gyms are closed in many areas, and snow is blanketing the Northeast.
Like many people, Ive been afraid to step on a scale recently.
So, I was excited to try a boxing workout at home.
Setting up FightCamp couldnt have been easier.
While you’re throwing jabs, the trackers are counting every punch.
By looking at the stats, I was motivated to complete or exceed every rounds punch goal.
The workouts are what makes FightCamp special.
Boxing requires full range movements that use every muscle of your body.
FightCamp tries to make the onboarding process non-intimidating for beginners.
It offers avideo introductionthat simplifies the basics of boxing.
But its advanced enough that those who have some boxing experience wont be bored.
The best part of FightCamp for me was how it was so easy to jump into a quick workout.
Sometimes, its hard to find the time and motivation to fit in a workout.
I found myself using the FightCamp several times a day while my bike sat unused.
One thing to consider is that the FightCamp bag is big.
Theres no getting around the fact that its a giant bag sitting in the middle of your living room.
It comes with matching white boxing gloves.
And while its bulky, the bag takes up no more floor space than my exercise bike.
It’s less expensive than the Peloton, which starts at $1,895.
Ill take the latter.
