Claire Distenfeld, the owner of the New York boutique Fivestory, opens up about why she started boxing and discusses the merits of letting go of negative feelings with a well-placed punch.
I started boxing because…
I had just broken up with a long-term boyfriend and needed to channel my energy!
What I love about it…
The intensity, the concentration and the internal and external power it drives in a woman.
I box at…
Punch Fitness on Madison Ave.
My mantra is…
Out with the bad, in with the good. Ironically, I’m also into meditation, which is all about not letting in negative feelings. I feel that boxing in the morning helps achieve that.
My boxing playlist…
Hip-hop and tropical house.
My fitness goals…
Always getting my energy level up!
My fitness tips for travelers…
Don’t feed into jet lag. It’s all mental.
Other workouts I love…
SLT and running.
Favorite healthy snacks/drinks…
EatPops, Hint Fizz water, Juice Press anything.
I define wellness as…
Everything in moderation.
