My thighs are tightening up but I don't think by much.
I should get a punching bag.

What you need is an endurance/aerobic exercise. I doubt it's a Mike Tyson style 30-sec knock-out boxing training. The trainer would be concerned with you sustaining/enduring. Strength and muscle toning will result from participation. So, do some cardio for preparation. It would also cut some inches as well.
In general terms, the bottom part of the upper arm, triceps, are worked when you push weight away from you (one can work the triceps by doing push ups, straight bar push down while standing, bench press - while chest is the major targeted area in benchpress, the secondary muscles being worked are triceps, etc.)
Pulling the weight toward you works the inner arm, biceps. (Pullups/chinups, back exercises--secondary are biceps, curl, etc. are good for working that muscle part)
In back exercises & bench presses (chest), the major targeted areas are not arms... Avoid those if you ONLY want to work the arm
