15
items Whether you’re bobbing and weaving like a pro or just trying not to trip over your own wraps, these are the boxing essentials that keep me (mostly) in the ring and out of trouble.
My trusted hand pillows. Because nothing says “oops” like landing a clean punch and breaking your own thumb. These are comfy, durable, and have yet to insult my Scottish pride.
Boxing Gloves Universal Tight fit design Brand Fairtex Model BGV1 - Pink / 16 oz. - Fairtex Global
Aye, they’re pink, but they’re fierce. These gloves have the comfort of a spa day for your knuckles and the punch of a heavyweight champ. Everlast should’ve called them “Ever-Past Their Opponent".
Claressa Shields 16OZ Powerlock 2 Laced Pro Training Gloves
Who knew skipping could feel like a full-body torture session? This one’s weighted, which makes me feel like a warrior when I’m not tripping over it. (Fun fact: cardio is a lot easier when you’re running from your own embarrassment.)
Get Lean Set - Navy Handles
I once went bare-knuckled on a bag and regretted it faster than you can say, “That’s broken.” These wraps make me look like I know what I’m doing and protect my wee wrists from falling apart.
RDX IS Women Gel Padded Wrist Strap Inner Gloves Pink / White OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified
I love this tank because it wicks sweat away like magic. Somehow, I still look like I’ve been in a monsoon after sparring, but hey, it’s comfy, and that’s what matters, aye?
Under Armour Women's HeatGear® OG Compression Tank
Stylish, durable, and so comfy, they almost make burpees tolerable (almost). These beauties stay in place no matter how many high kicks you throw, plus they make you look like a total ninja in the gym.
UFC Fusion by Venum Fight Week Women’s Performance Tight - Oceanic Blu - Venum
These shorts scream “I came to fight, but also, look at my legs!” They’re breathable, lightweight, and have a fit that doesn’t bunch up when I’m throwing punches or flailing… ahem, training.
TITLE Boxing Professional Women’s Satin Striped Boxing Trunks
These lightweight beauties make me feel like a gazelle, which is vital because footwork is half the battle (and tripping over yourself is not a good look). Plus, they make my feet look adorable in the ring.
Box Hog 4 Shoes
This bag has been my therapist, punching bag, and occasional sparring partner. It doesn’t complain when I whack it with my angsty moods. Plus, it’s freestanding, so it doesn’t wreck my flat’s walls.
Powercore Freestanding Heavy Bag
This bag can handle your hardest punches, your angriest kicks, and even your side-eye when you’re too tired to train. Comes with everything you need to set it up at home—because some days, you just need to hit something (besides life).
RDX F10B 4ft / 5ft 4-in-1 Punch Bag with Bag Gloves & Wall Bracket Set
It lights up to remind me to hydrate, which I need because I have the attention span of a gnat. Plus, hydration is key when you’re sweating buckets from pretending to be Rocky Balboa.
20 oz HidrateSpark PRO
It’s a torture device disguised as self-care. Rolling out sore muscles feels like punishment for a crime I didn’t commit, but it works wonders. Post-workout aches are no match for this bad boy.
GRID Foam Roller
These noise-canceling earbuds are perfect for drowning out the gym grunters and powering your workout playlist. Whether it’s Eye of the Tiger or Taylor Swift, these bad boys stay in place while you punch, jab, and shuffle.
Beats Fit Pro
It’s a mix of AC/DC, The Prodigy, and—don’t laugh—a wee bit of Eye of the Tiger. Because you’ve not lived until you’ve thrown punches to Thunderstruck.
