Protection and comfort

Which gloves you choose for this sport must depend on the type of training you expect to do. Therefore, it is essential that you get as much information as possible first. The decisive factor is whether you will train on special totems on the Fitbox or on classic punching bags. Totems, unlike punching bags, are much softer. Therefore, boxing bandages or gel boxing gloves will be enough for your totem. According to the founders of the sport, special boxing totems should be used on Fitbox. Nowadays, there are many gyms that use classic bags. These are many times harder and using poouze bandages would be a gamble on hand and joint health. In this case, we recommend using boxing gloves to combine with bandages. Only a good quality padding can absorb shock and minimise the risk of injury.

Choices in totem training

  • Boxing bandages - wraps: their main advantage is excellent wrist reinforcement. The disadvantage is the lengthy preparation - wrapping the bandage around the fingers and wrist.
  • Gel boxing gloves - quick and easy to use. The disadvantage is the higher price than the classic wraps.

Choices for training with a punching bag

  • MMA training gloves - advantage: larger padding over knuckles, free fingers - grip
  • MMA grappling gloves: less padding ned knuckles, the glove is not as robust
  • Bag gloves: best protection for hands, significant downside is no free fingers. You have to take the gloves off to be able to grip anything.

Choice of material and size

Both gloves and bandages are available in a variety of styles and designs, and in a wide range of sizes, from XS to XL. It is important to choose the right size so that the gloves or gel gloves fit snugly and provide optimal support. The material of the glove surface is also important, with both textile and leather options having their own advantages and you need to consider which type will suit you best.

Ventilation and equipment

Maximum ventilation is key to your comfort. Gloves with segments of highly breathable materials on the palm and back ensure optimal ventilation and minimize sweating and uncomfortable wetness. Other features that improve the glove's adaptation to the shape of the hand are Velcro strips in the carpal area or on the back between the knuckles and the wrist.


Conclusion

Choosing the right fitbox gloves is crucial for a safe and comfortable workout. With regard to joint protection, comfort and the effectiveness of your workout, it is important to carefully consider the material, size and other features of the gloves. Fitboxing is a great sport for both women and men that provides a variety of benefits for improving fitness, physical strength, core strengthening and mental relaxation. Be sure to consult your choice of gloves with a trainer or expert to ensure optimal conditions for your workout.
