Review of the FightCamp home boxing system FightCamp is unique in that it’s a digital fitness library at its core, but also provides its own proprietary equipment if needed. That being said, it is an a la carte checkout system in which you can opt only to purchase the console, trackers, wraps, and membership fee to access its content if you already have your own punching bag and gloves, or you can add several accessories. I tested FightCamp’s comprehensive package, which can cost upwards of $1,600, including a $390 annual membership fee. Regardless of the package you choose, I have a promo code for you below. Features at a glance: Customize your own unique boxing system depending on what equipment you want/need Choose from thousands of workouts ranging from boxing, kickboxing, stretching, HIIT, and core Trackers in your wraps tally your volume, power, and speed in real time FightCamp’s console allows you to connect to any TV for easier viewing Burn 800 calories per hour on average 9to5Toys’ take FightCamp is an all-in-one, modular home boxing gym. I tested the company’s Elite package, which included all the equipment seen above. Let me tell you, the company’s tech has undergone significant upgrades since I first tried FightCamp a few years ago. Although the setup was easy to figure out, it required several steps and some additional materials and tools, as you’ll see in my FightCamp video review below. The Elite Package I received came with everything I needed to get punching and then some. The package included the following: Bag base Punching bag Bag ring Sound sleeve Hand wraps (small and large) Ankle wraps Console, including two punch trackers An extra set of trackers Boxing gloves (12 oz and 16 oz) Chest heart rate monitor The brain of this system is the FightCamp Console. (seen below), which connects to your TV and also charges the trackers. This component didn’t exist last time I tested FightCamp, so I was excited to see the improvements. Set up was as simple as connecting the power and HDMI cable to the back, which are covered by a magnetic plate that you mount on your wall. Once that’s mounted, the console just snaps in and can be connected to any HDMI TV. The FightCamp trackers then magnetically snap in and wirelessly charge, as showcased by the exterior light indicator visible in my review video below. To confirm the system was working, I downloaded the FightCamp app and was able to easily connect and get the system up and running on my WiFi. Next was setting up the bag, which involved adding weight to the base. I used 200 pounds of dry sand over water and recommend doing the same, just perhaps not as much sand. After filling the base, I found it quite difficult to move inside and into my home gym. That said, the bag certainly didn’t go anywhere when I started throwing haymakers. After securing the base in place on its mat, I added the bag itself, which gets pulled over a lip on the base and secured with velcro straps. This elite package also came with a sound sleeve, which reduces the noise of each punch or kick thrown. You just put it over the top and zip it up. I demonstrated the difference in sound hitting the FightCamp bag with and without the sleeve in my review video. To get ready for a workout, you put on the hand wraps, which velcro around your wrists after you insert a punch tracker into a little pouch on each hand. Once wrapped, you choose a workout in the app which automatically displays on your TV via the FightCamp console. Please be sure to complete this step before you try to put on the boxing gloves. Once the gloves are secure, you hit the bag with a one-two combo, and you’re off. As you’ll see in my review video, each FightCamp workout includes a brief warmup as well as some stretching to ensure safety. Then, depending on your chosen workout, the trainer guides you through a series of “rounds,” each comprising a mix of boxing and other exercises, such as lunges, planks, and, of course, punching combos, which are numbered and easy to follow. I loved punching the bag as hard as I could. There’s just something cathartic about it. Each workout sets punch goals for each round based on your experience, and you hear a ringside-style bell if and when you exceed that punch count. To end many rounds, the trainer tells you to do a 1-2 burnout, which can be exhausting. By the time you’re done with five rounds, you’re feeling it, trust me! When you’re done, remove the gloves, unstrap the wraps, and return your trackers to the console to recharge. The app automatically logs each workout, allowing you to view your progress and revisit previous workouts you may have enjoyed. Overall, this version of FightCamp represents a significant improvement over the home boxing system I already adored. The console is the most significant upgrade, making working out at home on a TV significantly easier. I haven’t found many workouts better than boxing, so I highly recommend giving FightCamp a shot at the title. I don’t expect everyone to shell out nearly $1,700 for the complete FightCamp package featured in my review, but the great news is you don’t have to. You can spend a fraction of that on the console and trackers, and you’re ready to go. The last thing you need to start hitting stuff is a FightCamp membership. Speaking of which, be sure to use promo code SCOOTER for a free month of FightCamp.
