Does anyone here have experience with boxing?

I want to do boxing for cardio and confidence.

I don’t want to fight anyone. Just some classes and technique.

Do any of you know how to find a good, respectful, supportive gym?

I tried to do MMA at a popular gym. And I got my ass handed to me, which is okay. But I don’t like the close physical contact.

I would like to do a sport where giant, strong, stinky men are not man handling me all practice.

See if you can find classes for kick-boxing. Those are great for cardio. And instead of generic MMA classes, look specifically for Brazilian Jujitsu. It is primarily wrestling so maybe not. Back when I was training 20 years ago, there were usually at least a couple of women in the class. Sometimes up to five women present. Us guys were always careful when wrestling females. It was about technique and not strength. The kickboxing classes always had women. I think there may have even been women's only classes.
