YOU'LL want your own pair of boxing gloves to take to the gym if you're doing classes regularly.
Luckily, you don't have to break the bank to get them.
When you're buying a pair of boxing gloves, it's worth thinking about what you're planning to use them for.
A standard pair of training gloves might be good for the sort of pad work you'd do in a gym class, but not so great if you're whacking away at a hard heavy bag or sparring in the ring.
Sparring gloves are usually 12oz or 14oz and are the heaviest type of glove you'll use, which will lessen the impact of your punches on your hands and your opponents.
Competition gloves are lighter and harder than sparring gloves and are really only suitable for competitive fights.
If you're simply looking to do some fun gym classes, a lightweight pair of training gloves should fit the bill nicely.
If you're looking to take it a bit more seriously, consider buying some sparring gloves as these will offer plenty of support to your wrists and lessen impacts on your knuckles.
