What is Liteboxer?

The Liteboxer is a Bluetooth-connected home boxing system that offers hundreds of boxing and strength classes via its companion app. Each one is narrated by an instructor, who provides vocal cues to help you hit the smart targets. As you stream the workout on your phone or tablet, the six gamified pods—arranged in a circle around the shield that you mount to a wall or stand—light up in sync with your instructor’s voice to indicate where you should aim your fists. The pods glow green when you successfully land each type of punch and red when you miss a hit.

Roughly 3 feet tall by 3 feet wide, the $1,495 connected device's target can be mounted on your wall or attached to a floor stand and platform (which cost $200 extra, respectively). The base package comes with hand wraps and a pair of gloves (you can select size small or large), or you can upgrade to the Pro package for $100 more, which includes two pairs of wraps and gloves, as well as a yoga mat you can use for strength workouts, warmups, and cool-downs.

In addition to trainer-led boxing classes, the Liteboxer app offers strength training sessions set to music of your instructor’s choice, who choreograph the class movements to match the beats. There are genres to suit every taste, including hip-hop, country, pop, and dance music. You may also freestyle on your own or to the beat of tracks the app recommends from popular artists, such as Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, and The Weeknd.

Liteboxer keeps track of your progress via stats like total punches thrown, classes taken, the percentage of “good hits” (punches thrown on-beat with adequate power), and your average power score. It also displays a leaderboard that puts you in faux competition with other boxers using the program.

It's comparable to Fight Camp, which another Reviewed tester loved, in several ways. Both systems let you stream boxing workouts while punching a target (FightCamp uses a heavy bag, Liteboxer uses its shield) and give feedback on your performance via FightCamp's motion sensor hand wraps, and Liteboxer's color-coded LED targets, respectively. FightCamp's "Personal" package costs $1,219 for the heavy bag, hand wraps, and boxing gloves, plus a $39 monthly membership fee, compared to Liteboxer's $1,495 wall-mounted "Starter" package and $30 monthly membership fee.

With hundreds of boxing and strength workouts to choose from, you'll never get bored.

It’s easy to use, even for newbies

I'd never boxed before, but Liteboxer made it fun and simple to learn. The trainers give detailed instructions on movements and proper technique, especially during beginner classes. I found this helpful when reminded to keep my fists at my chin and to rotate them while punching, and I felt more confident with each move at the end of each class.

In addition to classes designed for beginner, intermediate, and advanced skill levels, Liteboxer offers “technique” classes, which go over basics like the six signature punches, defensive moves, boxing stance, and footwork. I revisited these a few times to get more confident with my form and really nail the basics, which made it easy to improve.

The workouts are fun and challenging

I loved every Liteboxer class I took. Despite my exhaustion, I often started a second class immediately after finishing one because I was having such a good time. The instructors are upbeat and motivating, and their guidance helped me improve with every hit. I had more confidence with the routine and felt my stamina improving, even after just a few classes.

You can filter classes by difficulty level, time length (ranging from 5 to 45 minutes), trainer, and genre of music. I took beginner classes, and they all kicked my butt and left me eager for my next session.

Liteboxer makes it easy to learn how to box.

It’s not great for small spaces

The Liteboxer itself is roughly 3 feet wide by 3 feet tall, and 1½ feet deep. Although it can be wall-mounted, the unit looks bulky, and protrudes in an obvious, unsightly way—not great if you want something that blends into your decor. I tested the floor stand model where the Liteboxer shield is attached to a platform measuring roughly 4½ feet by 3 feet; this made it seem even more cumbersome. If aesthetics don’t matter to you or you have more space to devote to workout equipment, you have the option to buy the “extended” platform, which measures about 6 feet by 3 feet. With or without the platform, though, the base unit is unwieldy, and probably not the best option for small spaces.

It's pretty expensive

Liteboxer starts at $1,495 for its wall-mounted basic package that includes hand wraps and a pair of boxing gloves, plus $30 a month for membership. The wall-mounted pro package, which includes two pairs of hand wraps, two pairs of gloves, and a yoga mat, costs $1,595. And if you can't mount the Liteboxer on the wall (it requires wood studs or a concrete or brick wall), the floor stand packages cost $1,695 and $1,795, respectively. The stellar boxing and strength training workouts are sure to give boxing aficionados a fun, well-rounded workout, but it'll cost ya.

Should you buy Liteboxer?

If you enjoy boxing, you'll love working out with Liteboxer.

Yes, if you have the space and the budget

If you have room for a large piece of workout equipment and enjoy boxing, I highly recommend Liteboxer. The workouts are fun, challenging, and there are enough options that I don’t think anyone would get bored.

However, it likely won’t fit well in small spaces, as it’s a bulky device. And if you can’t install it on your wall, the platform takes up even more room, and can’t be stored. It's also quite costly—so if you aren't already passionate about boxing, you should think hard about whether the expense suits your fitness needs and budget.

But if you have the space and the cash, Liteboxer is a great investment. The classes are fun, the instructors help you improve, and I’m willing to bet you’ll look forward to using it every day.
