FightCamp review: We're all anxious right now and this at-home boxing gym can help

Hundreds of classes available • Punch trackers are a great motivational tool • Easy to use • Compact • but can be stored away.

FightCamp not only transforms your space into a boxing ring, but its punch tracking technology is a genius way to keep you from giving up during those tough workouts.

However, in the interest of health and fitness, I opted for FightCamp—an at-home boxing gym that turns your space into a makeshift ring complete with a free-standing bag, boxing gloves, punch trackers, and an app with hundreds of classes to train with.

While you're throwing combos, the punch trackers inside your quick wraps, which protect your hands from injury when hitting the bag, are counting each punch.

So in addition to completing the workout, you're also encouraged to complete or exceed the punch goal for each round. .

But in a sea of smart stationary bikes and treadmills, and fitness apps with floor workouts, FightCamp is a nice change of pace. .

Those who have never picked up a pair of boxing gloves can train with beginner classes while more skilled boxers can work on perfecting their jabs. .

But the punch trackers are certainly a game changer.

If you're the only one planning on working out with FightCamp, you'll want to opt for FightCamp Personal for $1,219 ($51 per month).

This comes with a set of punch trackers, free-standing bag, workout mat, quick wraps, and boxing gloves.

You'll get one set of punch trackers, free-standing bag, a workout mat, two sets of boxing gloves, two sets of quick wraps, and one set of kids boxing gloves.

The punch trackers are removable, so you can easily share them with one another.

If you already own a punching bag and gloves, then you can go for FightCamp Connect for $439 ($34 per month), which only includes the punch trackers and quick wraps. .

While I would love to tell you the reason the company sent me only FightCamp Connect is because I am a skilled boxer with an already intense gym setup, it's not because of that at all.

Since I already have a heavy bag in my garage, the company sent me a pair of gloves in addition to the punch trackers and wraps that you get in FightCamp Connect.

If you opt for that package and want to add on FightCamp branded gloves (which are available in small or large), you can purchase them from their site for $149. .

If you want to store it somewhere like the closet or in the corner of a room when it's not being used, simply tip it over a bit and roll it to your desired location. .

You can take some of the tiles off to modify it to your space, but you want to make sure the it's big enough that you can do things like planks and burpees without being painful.

The easiest part of all this is setting up the punch trackers, which come with the quick wraps.

The punch trackers slide into the pocket of the quick wraps.

Then, insert the trackers into the small little pockets on the quick wraps and you're all set to put your gloves on.

The More tab is where you'll find your profile information, a user manual, and the Getting Started section for tutorials on how to use FightCamp.

As you punch the bag, your punches are tracked in real time to help you see how many more you have left to reach the goal

These punch trackers are tiny, but the psychology behind having to beat a punch goal is powerful

I've said this about the Peloton Bike, but it applies to FightCamp as well: it's completely understandable if you don't want to drop thousands of dollars at the moment

Regardless, if there's anything that I can confidently say is really worth spending the money on, it's the punch trackers and the FightCamp app. 

The classes are updated on a daily basis, so you'll never run out of boxing sessions, and the instructors are super motivational and informative
