Boxing Gloves at NRG Fitness

At NRG Fitness, we consider it important to offer equipment for every sport, including boxing. Our range includes many different types of boxing gloves. Boxing is a combat sport that uses a lot of technique, strength and speed. The right equipment matters, which is why we also offer focus mitts and head guards alongside boxing gloves.

What Should I Look for When Buying Boxing Gloves?

What makes a boxing glove a good boxing glove, and what should you look for when choosing the right pair? There are several factors to consider, including weight. It is important to match the gloves to your training goal and build. Lighter boxing gloves can be used for competition, while heavier gloves are better suited to training and sparring. Our range includes options such as the RDX F6 Kara Boxing Gloves as well as MMA Gloves. Have questions? Feel free to contact us.

Kickboxing or Boxing Gloves?

The difference between kickboxing and boxing gloves is important to understand when practising combat sports. Although they may look similar, there are subtle differences that can affect a fighter's performance and safety.

Boxing gloves are specifically designed for boxing, while kickboxing gloves are suitable for both boxing and kickboxing. The main difference is the padding. Kickboxing gloves generally have thicker padding because they are also intended to absorb kicks and knees. Boxing gloves, by contrast, have thinner padding because they are mainly intended for punching.

A Wide Range

Our boxing glove range is very diverse and includes different colours and sizes. Colours range from traditional black and white to bright shades such as red, blue and yellow. Sizes range from 8 oz to 16 oz, with 8 oz suitable for competition and 16 oz better suited to training and sparring.

We have selected several brands that offer high-quality boxing gloves, including NRG Boxing, RDX Sports and Hammer Boxing. Each brand has its own characteristics and qualities, so it is important to consider the fighter's specific needs and preferences when choosing a brand. NRG Boxing and RDX Sports are aimed more at serious fighters, while Hammer Boxing is aimed more at all-round athletes who use boxing or kickboxing as part of general fitness training.

There are two common material options for boxing gloves: leather and synthetic leather. Leather boxing gloves are generally more durable and provide a better fit and protection. Synthetic leather boxing gloves are often less expensive and easier to maintain. It is important to consider which material best suits your needs and budget. The higher-quality boxing gloves in our range are made from Maya Hide synthetic leather. This material comes very close to real leather and is a more considered choice in terms of price and durability.

What Size (oz) Do I Need?

If you are looking for boxing gloves for training or sparring, we recommend choosing heavier gloves. Depending on your age and gender, we recommend at least 12 oz boxing gloves. Men weighing at least 85 kg can choose 14 oz or higher. For competitions, we recommend lighter boxing gloves such as 8 oz or 10 oz so you can move much faster.

How Long Do Boxing Gloves Last?

A frequently asked question is how long boxing gloves last. This depends on several factors, including the quality of the gloves, the intensity of your training and how well you look after them. On average, boxing gloves last around 1 to 3 years with regular use. It is important to check them regularly for wear and replace them when necessary to maintain safety.

What Is the Difference Between Leather and Synthetic Leather Gloves?

Leather boxing gloves last considerably longer and wear less than synthetic leather gloves. If you are a serious fighter who spends a lot of time in the ring, we recommend choosing leather boxing gloves. You can also try Maya Hide synthetic leather boxing gloves, which now come very close to leather boxing gloves.

Hand Wraps Under Your Boxing Gloves?

Hand wraps are an essential part of using boxing gloves. They provide extra support and protection for the hands and wrists during training and fighting. Applying hand wraps correctly is important for helping prevent injuries. We recommend following instructions or seeking professional guidance when wrapping your hands.
