Home boxing gym with punch tracking

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We make FightCamp, a home boxing gym system that includes studio-quality equipment and motion trackers embedded in gloves and hand wraps. Our tech calculates every punch and rep in real time, delivering detailed performance stats and connecting users with world-class boxing and kickboxing trainers from home.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in Los Angeles and Newport Beach, CA. The company is based there now and will continue to operate from these locations after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose Los Angeles and Newport Beach because that's where the founding team is based and where we have access to fitness industry contacts and a sizable initial user base interested in home boxing workouts.
