Finding inner balance: How boxing changed my life
Jennifer Lopez - TRIBES Coach
06 February 2026
From a young age, I’ve struggled with temperament and inner balance. Like everyone else, I deal with stress and life’s pressures. Training was always my way to cope; physical effort helped, but eventually, I felt I needed something more than just lifting weights.
I was looking for a way to truly reset—a discipline that allowed me to express emotion through movement, to sharpen both body and mind.
That’s when I discovered boxing.
More than just a sport
Boxing is challenging, engaging, and deeply rewarding. You learn technique, coordination, and self-defence, but most importantly, you learn how to face pressure head-on.
Boxing teaches you to stand your ground—not to fight others, but to confront your fears, doubts, and inner struggles. It’s also great fun.
Physically, it is an incredible tool for improving cardiovascular endurance, strength, power, and overall conditioning. Every session leaves me feeling renewed: stronger, focused, mentally clearer, and in a great mood. Over time, it builds confidence and resilience, both inside and outside the gym.
A philosophy for life
What boxing has taught me goes beyond training. It reflects a simple philosophy of life: growth comes from facing challenges, not avoiding them.
It comes from learning to stay calm under pressure. From fighting for more, for self-respect, confidence, and personal growth.
I don’t train to fight people. However, I truly believe that everyone, regardless of gender, should feel capable of defending themselves and standing up for who they are.
