Everything you need before, during, and after class.

RingsideReady Boxing is not a workout app and it is not a coach. It is the missing set of instructions for walking into a boxing gym for the first time — and for the fifty sessions after that.

Before you walk in

The part nobody prepares you for. Most people quit before the first class, not during it.

10 steps

First class checklist

Ten small, ordered steps that take you from thinking about it to walking back out of your first session.

Quitting before you start is almost always about not knowing what happens next. This removes the unknowns one line at a time.

  • Four stages: before you go, the day, in class, and after.
  • Every step carries a beginner tip — what to ask, what to bring, what is normal.
  • Progress is saved on your device, so you can tick items off over a fortnight.

Buy in order

Gear guide

What to buy, in the order that actually makes sense, and what to borrow instead.

Beginners routinely spend hundreds on gear they do not need yet. Most gyms lend gloves for a first session.

  • Eight items ranked from *buy first* to *only if you keep going*.
  • What each item is for, and roughly what a sensible one costs.
  • Clear notes on the two things you should never share or borrow.

Gym etiquette

Thirty-two ordinary gym moments and what to do in each, from where to stand to when to wrap.

The unwritten rules are the ones that make people feel like outsiders. Written down, they stop being a barrier.

  • Arriving, changing, warming up, sharing equipment, partner work, and leaving.
  • What to say when you do not know what to do — the single most useful sentence in any gym.
  • No judgement, no in-jokes, no assumptions about what you already know.

In the gym

What you need in the moment, on a phone, sometimes with wraps already on.

Beginner set

Glossary

The words a coach might shout in a first month, written the way you would explain them to a friend.

You cannot follow an instruction you do not understand, and nobody wants to stop the class to ask.

  • Search as you type — find a word in the two seconds between rounds.
  • Each entry: what it means, an example of it in use, why it matters, and the common mistake.
  • Punches, stance, defence, equipment, and the gym words you actually hear.

Your workouts

Round timer

Named workouts, work and rest you set yourself, a ten-second warning, and a bell. Runs with no signal and no account.

Gym basements have no reception. A timer that needs the internet is a timer that fails you mid-round.

  • Classic, fitness, shadow, and bag presets — or save a setup with your own name.
  • Load any drill straight into the timer. Survives a reload and keeps the screen awake.
  • Premium adds a combo caller that reads sequences aloud while you work.

Hand wraps

Two written wrapping methods, step by step. Slow video demonstrations sit on premium after a safety review.

Wraps are the first thing you do and the first thing you get wrong. Snug, never numb.

  • Eight steps per method, each with a drawing and one plain instruction.
  • A standing reminder to undo them if fingers tingle, hurt, or change color.
  • Your gym may teach a different method — theirs comes first, and we say so.

As you keep going

The bits that turn a first class into a habit, without streaks or guilt.

9 + 25

Punches and combos

Nine punches and twenty-five combinations, each broken into what moves and what stays still.

Numbers get called out constantly. Knowing that one-two means jab then cross removes most of the confusion.

  • Per punch: hand path, weight transfer, chin and guard, and the common mistake.
  • Per combo: the numbers, when to use it, and the cadence — free. Motion of the combo being thrown is premium.
  • Written for both stances — lead and rear rather than left and right.

On device

Session log

A short, honest note after each session. Type, rounds, and how it felt out of five.

Progress in boxing is slow and invisible. A log makes it visible without turning it into a streak.

  • Works offline and stays on your device until you choose to sync.
  • Finish a round on the timer and it offers to log the session for you.
  • No streak counters, no guilt notifications, no red numbers.

Gyms near you — and in the city you are visiting

Search boxing gyms near you or by city, save the ones you like, and keep your own notes on each.

The right gym for a nervous beginner is not always the nearest or the most famous one.

  • Near Me (25 miles) or a city search such as Miami or Las Vegas.
  • Live results from OpenStreetMap. Official sites may be enriched when available.
  • Three successful searches are free. Failed lookups are not counted. Call ahead.

Where AI helps, and where it does not

Two assistants with hard limits

Both are educational, not clinical. Neither will tell you whether you are fit to train, diagnose an injury, or clear you to spar. For head impact or dizziness, they stop and tell you to see a doctor — every time.

Ask the Coach

A plain-English answer to a boxing question, with clear limits. Three successful answers are free; then premium continues. It routes wrap questions to the wrap guide and workout requests to your Corner rather than inventing a training plan.

Your Corner

Five short questions — goal, duration, equipment, focus, intensity — and you get a structured workout that adds up to the time you picked. Run it in the timer. No AI required.
