After 20 years in the military, staying physically fit is hardwired into who I am. But I’ll be honest, my body doesn’t bounce back the way it used to. My knees aren’t fans of long runs or high-impact workouts like CrossFit anymore, and sitting on a stationary bike just isn’t my idea of a good time.
That’s why I was pumped to find FightCamp.
FightCamp is the largest connected boxing and kickboxing training platform in the world, and it’s been a total game-changer for me. I had zero experience with boxing when I started, but that didn’t matter. The workouts are easy to follow, the trainers are solid, and the punch trackers give real-time feedback on speed, volume, and output. With the heart rate monitor, I can also track how hard I’m pushing myself each session—which makes it easy to see real progress, both physically and mentally.
I’m three months in, and I’m already seeing the results. The definition in my abs is coming back, finally cutting through two years of good German beer. I’m moving more smoothly through the boxing combinations, and my endurance is starting to feel like it used to.
For a lot of us coming out of uniform, physical fitness is in our DNA. I refuse to let myself go. Boxing also demands focus, helps me manage stress, and gets me into that flow state I used to feel working out with my team in the mornings. There’s something therapeutic about throwing combinations, sweating it out, and ending each session with a killer core workout.
I also love that I don’t have to leave my garage and can train on my schedule, rain or shine, no commute, no waiting for equipment. I can listen to my own music, hit the bag, and be done in 30–45 minutes. It’s also become a family thing—my daughter throws on her little gloves and jump in with me. It’s something we all look forward to.
If you’re a veteran looking to get back in shape and want something that’s both low-impact and high-intensity, this is it. And if you’re currently serving—whether on active duty, in the National Guard, or in the Reserves—and you’re looking to beef up your home gym or add a fun, effective family fitness option for the weekends, I highly recommend checking it out.
