At One Corner we have FightCamp, a freestanding punching bag that gives you a tried and true introduction to the basics of boxing and kickboxing. In the other corner, there is a Liteboxer, a playable party boxing machine. Which one will be the best?
Without a doubt, both of these options for boxing at home are fantastic investments. But depending on your training preferences, you may find that FightCamp is a better option for you than Liteboxer, or vice versa.
liteboxer vs fight camp
I have personally tested both FightCamp and Liteboxer, so don’t be shy. to check out these full reviews if you want to know more about any system. But it will be more of a comparison of the pros and cons of each home boxing system and how to decide which one is right for you and your training needs.
Price: they’re both expensive
Although the FightCamp system is more affordable than the Liteboxer system, it is still an expensive investment. However, when it comes to monthly subscriptions, Liteboxer is about $10 cheaper.
For the FightCamp Personal package, you spend $1,219 on a pair of boxing gloves, quick-release bandages, smart impact sensors, a free-standing punching bag, and a ring that will keep it in place during your workout. The company gives you the option to either pay for this up front or in monthly installments with Affirm. In addition, the monthly membership fee required to participate in workouts on the app is $39 per month.
If you want heavy rubber mats, you’ll need the FightCamp Tribe , which costs $1,395. In addition to an 8-foot by 4-foot adjustable heavy mat, the Tribe also includes an extra pair of boxing gloves and wraps, as well as a pair of children’s boxing gloves.
The Liteboxer Starter Pack will set you back $1,695, though as with the FightCamp system above, you can fund it through Affirm in monthly payments. You get a boxing bar, of course, as well as a pair of gloves, boxing bandages, and a monthly Liteboxer subscription for a month for free. After this free month, you’ll have to pay $29.99 per month to keep up to date with new workouts and beat tracks.
Liteboxer also has a new Wall Mount Starter Kit that costs $1,495 and doesn’t take up much space in your home. However, I have not personally tried this pack, so for the purposes of this article, I will be comparing FightCamp Personal and Liteboxer Traditional Starter.
Installation and space: How much space do you have?
When dealing with any bulky home fitness equipment, it’s important to consider how much space you have at home to work from. Make sure you measure the area where you think you would place your equipment to avoid any snags after it has already been delivered to your home. And once you have a system, how easy is it to set up?
The FightCamp system can fit in any space that is at least two feet by two. Of course, you’ll want to leave some extra space for yourself so you can throw punches and kicks, as well as do squats and other basic exercises away from the punching bag.
And it’s very easy to set up. your FightCamp, even alone. There are two main components of a punching bag that are shipped to you: the hollow base and the bag.
You then choose whether to fill the base with water or purchase sand to fill it in (I recommend sand!). Once you choose water or sand, you fill in the base, attach the punching bag on top, and secure it with the attached straps.
If you ever need to move the fight camp, all you have to do is reach to the top of the base, pull it down towards you, and roll it wherever you want using the weighted base. This feature makes the FightCamp system great for people who need a punching bag for home workouts but live in a small home where there isn’t much extra space. You can store it in a closet or corner when you don’t need it and roll it out when you need it.
When fully assembled, the Liteboxer system measures approximately three feet by five feet (37.6 inches by 55.5 inches to be exact). And it’s quite heavy, so you’ll need to make sure it’s in the right place before you start the hassle of setting it up.
Also, just like in FightCamp, you have to perform exercises away from the punching bag. , Liteboxer trainers will sometimes force you to perform exercises off the platform. So, in addition to needing more space for the machine itself, you also need to make sure you have enough space to exercise outside of the machine.
Luckily, I didn’t have to set up my Liteboxer. And I say fortunately because it looked complicated. I had two bulky people deliver and install my Liteboxer and it took them about an hour or two even though they installed them all the time. The Liteboxer is heavy and durable, which is great when you’re working out, but not so great when you need to carry it home and set it up.
For people in medium sized homes or large homes, space probably won’t be a big issue. But if you have less square footage, you’ll probably want to go with FightCamp. If everything else about Liteboxer doesn’t seem more appealing and you don’t want to make room for it in your small home, FightCamp will be easier to store and use in a small home.
Since I didn’t install Liteboxer myself, I don’t know exactly how difficult it would be for the average person. But I heard a lot of chugging and chugging while it was being installed, so I guess that’s a workout in itself.
On the other hand, FightCamp is very easy to set up if you use sand. Don’t be like me and set up your FightCamp on the second floor of your house, skip buying sand and spend an hour or two filling the base with water from multiple trips between sink and base. It wasn’t the most fun time, but you can learn from my experience and just buy the damn sand if you buy FightCamp.
FightCamp wins here because it requires less space to work effectively and is much, much easier to set up.
