So, we all know the gym gets full every new year with people trying to stay true to their fitness resolutions (which we all know never last). What a lot of people don’t realize is that sometimes, the regular gym routine is just not for them. It could be the complicated machines or the fact that you’re just running in the same spot over and over again which kind of bores you to death.

These days, working out doesn’t have to be boring. You can get into shape by doing so many different kinds of activities and we have lined up 10 we think you should try this new year.

Boxing at Elite Boxing

Channel your inner Mohammed Ali and start boxing classes.
