Add Boxing as a New Sport Type

[Shant]

I think adding Boxing as a sport to track will be a very useful addition to Strava because then I could track boxing workout classes in its own category.

This is important to me because it would clearly specify what type of workout I just completed.

An example of when I need this is when I take boxing or martial arts classes.

Hi @Shant Thanks for the comment. I just checked, I have a Suunto Race, and yes Kettlebells is a sport type. I did not know that as I just got the watch. Thanks

Almost 1.5 years and over 110 votes and still not even under consideration...

I’ve been using Strava for running and tennis and it was a shock to me that kickboxing and boxing in general is not among the sports.  I’m hoping my request get some love and I can add my kickboxing session as is and not workout sometime in the near future! It takes away the joy really 🙂

Please its been 2 years since someone asked for Boxing category.

Is it on the way?

Thanks!

Hi @Jane how many kudos do we need to hit to get the product team to consider adding boxing, kickboxing, and martial arts to Strava?

As a long-term paying strava user it's frankly criminal that boxing is still not on strava. 

Get on with it

Hi,
So many people want boxing to be recognized by Strava as a sport ! Please add it !

[Shant]

Soon 🤞 I think the strategy is launching new sport with boxing brands/influencers so they can get more users on the platform

Hello 👋 wishing you a great day!

Indeed workout is too broad - either Boxing should be a separate tile or the Workout function can be divided into a type of workout ie. Boxing, Martial Arts, Circuit, Weights, Aerobic, Cardio, Elliptical, Peleton, Tai Chi, Yoga, Pilates, Step and Pump Classes. There are different types of programs for Gym Routines (Workouts often with a PT) - with designed purpose. Such as Functional Training, Mobility Training,  Strength Training, Balance Training, Stretching and Agility Training. 

Thank you for taking this into consideration. I look forward to using the Boxing Tile activity category. Thanks.......Tim
