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.
