What to Wear to Kickboxing

by Eva Thomas

Kudos to you! You've officially decided to sign up for a new class at the gym—kickboxing to be exact—but now comes the tricky part: packing your fitness bag with the appropriate workout gear. Well, have no fear, as we put together a guide for what to wear to kickboxing that will ensure you'll pack a punch in the proper attire.

Kickboxing, much like running or other high-intensity, high-sweat workouts, requires a handful of essentials that are supportive without being too restrictive because, well, there's a lot of jumping and kicking involved in the sport.

So think a comfortable sports bra that won't budge, an airy tank top, moisture-wicking leggings, and a pair of lightweight, flexible sneakers that won't weigh you down. See—we did all the thinking for you. Now all you have to do is click "add to cart." Read on to shop the four essentials to wear to your next kickboxing session.
