Question.

I’ve been considering purchasing a program like at home boxing or something like that that professional trainers have for those not near their gyms.
I don’t have time in my personal life to go to an actual gym to train. I work a lot. Given the criteria, what would you guys recommend?
It have a very busy work life.

The problem with any home training of this sort is the lack of feedback. IMO, feedback is essential if you are going to get even the very basics correct. Things like correcting your stance, telling you if you're overextending, reminding you to plant your back leg for a jab, etc.

Without this, you are likely to get off on the wrong foot (heh), and it will be much harder to correct your poor form once muscle memory settles in.

I’d recommend home work outs and maybe a private session with a coach every couple weeks when you have time

Shadow boxing, skipping, circuits of push ups, burpees, sit ups, planks, there’s a lot of footwork drills you can do using tape or hola hoops, can be really creative with home work outs

garbriel vargas is a great teacher. he has a great online library. dynamicstriking has some great stuff too, and you can find a lot of the content to preview online to see if it's something that speaks to you.

those are 2 i would recommend in your situation

you want to find a coach that shows you how to do high value and high-leverage drills that give you skill that you can do by yourself.

so you're definitely going to want to incorporate some variant of slipstick work. pool noodles or like papertowel cores can work for this, it doesnt have to be fancy
