At Bil Sha Boxing Club, we believe that excelling in the ring also means being responsible outside of it.
With the recent celebration of Earth Day (22nd April), it’s the perfect time to think about how small changes in your training habits can significantly impact the planet. Sustainability isn’t just about big gestures—it’s about everyday choices, even while working up a sweat.
We’ve gathered some ways to be sustainable while training so you can smash your targets without impacting the planet.
Ways to Be Sustainable While Working Out
Don’t worry—we won’t tell you to ditch your current training plan. You can take friendlier action while still using the training techniques that work for you. It’s all about small changes here!
Let’s look at the easiest ones to make:
1. Reusable Water Bottles
One of the easiest ways to train more sustainably is by ditching single-use plastic bottles.
Every day (yes, day!), 60 million plastic bottles end up in landfills, taking centuries to decompose. Why add another to the pile?
Instead, invest in a reusable water bottle. Not only will you cut down on waste, but you’ll also stay better hydrated with a high-quality, easy-to-carry bottle. A small switch makes a big difference in the long run.
2. Purchasing Own Gloves
Buying your own high-quality boxing gloves reduces waste, saves money long-term, and cuts down on cheap, disposable gear.
What better way to throw some punches than with premium Bil Sha Boxing Club gloves? Whether you want red, white, or camo, we supply a range of top-quality gloves with the BSBC logo.
It’s time to invest once and train better. Which brings us on to…
3. Investing in High-Quality Gear
Gloves aren’t the only place you should invest.
Cheap workout equipment might seem like a bargain at first, but they wear out quickly, leading to more waste—and more money spent in the long run.
We encourage fighters to invest in durable, high-quality gear. Alongside our BSBC gloves, we offer a full range of boxing merchandise, including:
– A complete boxing kit (gloves, mouth guard, hand wraps, headguard)
– Hand wraps
– Gloves
– Duffel bag
– Mouth guard
– Headguard
We also have a BSBC snapback if you really want to show off!
4. Eco-Friendly Fabrics
A recent YouGov poll showed that 39% of consumers are keen to pay more for sustainable sportswear.
In a world where fast fashion is under increasing scrutiny, it’s no surprise that Brits are looking for eco-friendly clothes, including activewear.
5. Train Locally
How far do you go to get a workout?
Training at a local gym or boxing club helps you cut down on travel emissions. Even if you want to travel to work out, swapping the car or Uber for public transport can also reduce your carbon footprint.
Be Green & Mean With BSBC
You can rule the ring and be sustainable, and the BSBC team is here to help.
Whether you swap the plastic bottle for a reusable one or level up your training gear with BSBC gloves, making a small change today will benefit everyone in the future.
