You’ve developed a calm and cool demeanor when dealing with toddlers, in-laws, pushy co-workers and class parents. But sometimes, you just want to punch something.

Get out your aggression — and get a great workout at the same time — at Punch Fitness, a family-friendly boxing gym on the Upper East Side (also in Bridgehampton for the summer). Instead of an intimidating, bare bones, Million Dollar Baby-inspired studio, Punch is warm and welcoming with a strong female client base. Owner Adelino Da Costa will whip you into shape with his special system of jabs, kicks and crunches (prices range from about $109 to $145 for a sweat-inducing one-on-one session). Da Costa even trains women throughout their pregnancies, as evidenced by black-and-white photos of a rather ripped mom-to-be (though you should begin his workouts prior to getting preggo).

Your triceps may scream for mercy, but your stress level will stabilize.

1015 Madison Ave., lower level (bet. 78th & 79th St.), 212-288-2375, punchfitnesscenter.com.

Heading to the Hamptons in a few? In case you’re always the last to know, tomorrow is not just any Saturday.

The 11th annual Super Saturday benefits The Ovarian Cancer Research Fund, with a designer garage sale, kids’ carnival and gourmet goodies on the agenda. Yes, the entrance price is steep, but it goes toward a good cause. Get there early to snag designer deals from the likes of Catherine Malandrino, DVF, Ferragamo and Tory Burch. Little shoppers will get a kick out of pony rides, face painting, customized T-shirts and cupcake decorating. And keep an eye out for lots of celebs.

Tickets are available online. Don’t say nobody told you.

When: Sat. 7/26, 12-6pm; $450-$650 Adults, $150 Kids.
Where: Nova’s Ark Project, Water Mill, ocrf.org.

You finally scored an invite to your chic city neighbor’s fab Hamptons house (or hey, maybe you have one of your own, no judgment). You’re ditching town ASAP to head East, but what to bring the hostess who has everything?

Try the new haute couture haven Bellhaus, which brings fabulousity and exclusivity to a whole new level. OK, you won’t have time to order a bespoke creation before sunset cocktails, but pick up giftable candles, fragrance, skincare or books for your happy weekend home (and tell Junior not to touch — anything).

Actually, get one of each — just in case the kid spills or (gasp) breaks something. You want to be invited back next month.

Open Mon.-Sat. 11am-8pm, Sun. 12-6pm. 328 Montauk Highway, Wainscott, 631-537-5050, bellhaus.net.
