Boxing

You're a hands guy. Stick to the sweet science.

Why Boxing fits you

Boxing is the original. Footwork, head movement, jab, cross, hook, uppercut — that's it, repeated a million times until it's involuntary. There's beauty in the simplicity, and a real boxing workout will smoke anyone. Your answers fit the boxing archetype: you want a no-frills room, you're built to commit to one craft, and you like repetition more than complexity. A great boxing gym is one of the best deals in fitness.

What to expect in your first class

Expect a heavy warm-up — jump rope, shadow, calisthenics — followed by mitt rounds or bag work. The coach will fix your stance, your guard, and the first three or four punches. No sparring for weeks. The first thing you'll learn is how exhausting it is to keep your hands up.

What it'll cost

$80–$150/month at most gyms — boxing is historically one of the more affordable disciplines.
