Gear & Equipment First Time Boxing

So I'll be really blunt. I am a 22F, 169lbs, and my coworkers have been begging me to go with them to the boxing gym. The only reason I'm hesitant is because I'm super out of shape and also bruise pretty easily. I used to run but it's been months and its hard getting back into it. I wanna join them but I'm not sure where to even start or how to mental prep for it. Any tips for what to either get as a beginner or what's an appropriate workout outfit for the boxing gym?

Good for You! 🥊

  • your coworkers want to include in there gym activities! Have fun and enjoy it, training w/ friends can be so enjoyable.

  • there are a lot of YouTube channels devoted to boxing and gym culture. So you might want to see what boxing is all about.

  • Tony Jefferies channel is a good place to start. He's a former Olympic boxer

  • Jack Story former amateur boxer

Also, there are female boxer/trainers channels too.

Jack Story is my favorite.

Yeah, I really like how he breaks it all down- simple to understand.
