FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Hand wraps help support the wrists and knuckles while creating a more secure fit inside the glove. While we don’t provide hand wraps, we recommend you bring your own alongside your own boxing gloves for any of our classes under the ROUNDS banner. The ROUNDS classes at Equinox feature authentic impact-on-bags boxing, and you’ll definitely be more comfortable with your own gear. If you need assistance with your wraps, come early to class and the instructor can help guide you.
Equinox boxing classes cater to all experience levels. Our expert boxing instructors are able to accommodate boxers of all levels, novice to advanced. The only boxing class that requires base-level knowledge is Rounds: Pro, reserved for the advanced boxer wishing to experience a class with more complex punching combinations.
Boxing is an exceptionally effective workout because it combines cardio conditioning, coordination, muscular endurance, and skill development in a single session. Equinox positions it as total-body performance training, and the class descriptions reinforce that balance between technique and intensity. You are not just working harder—you are learning how to move with more precision, rhythm, and control. That makes it a strong option for anyone looking to build fitness while also developing a new skill.
Fitness boxing builds cardiovascular endurance, coordination, core strength, and muscular endurance in one workout. It also sharpens balance, reaction time, and body awareness by teaching you to move with more precision and control. Beyond the physical benefits, the format can improve focus and help channel effort in a way that feels structured, challenging, and energizing. With consistent coaching, it becomes an effective way to build skill, confidence, and total-body conditioning at the same time.
