OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Oct. 7, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 2013 has proven itself to be a tremendous year for TITLE Boxing Club. From the recent announcement of plans to revamp and modernize the clubs on a nation-wide scale, to the company's latest triumph – the 500 th signed franchise agreement – the fitness franchise is ending its year on an extremely high note.
Since its inception in early 2008, TITLE Boxing Club, the largest boxing franchise in the country, has swept the nation and catapulted on to the fitness scene. The company has 116 locations open and operating and continues to open clubs at a rate of one per week. With a significant amount of locations already pending in the development pipeline, TITLE Boxing Club took another giant leap forward and recently signed their 500 th franchise agreement. This incredible, explosive growth has taken place within a mere four year period, with 360 of those 500 coming in the last 18 months.
"TITLE Boxing Club offers a workout that we believe to be unparalleled," said John Rotche, President of TITLE Boxing Club. "For this reason, we have seen a seen a 91 percent spike in membership growth this year, which is great, because we often find it is our members who try the workout, believe in the results – both physical and mental – and decide to open a club of their own."
Casey Wandell, the entrepreneur who signed TITLE Boxing Club's 500 th franchise agreement, follows suit with regard to the member turned club owner narrative. Wandell began his venture with TITLE Boxing Club as a loyal member and advocate for the proven results delivered by the high-intensity workout. He opened his first club in December of 2012 in Highland Heights, Ohio, and now has two clubs open in the Cleveland area with three more on the way.
"TITLE Boxing Club changed my life," Wandell said. "The workout and club atmosphere decreased my stress, increased my physical strength, my confidence and my positive attitude. I have witnessed first-hand the incredible effects the workout has on the lives of club members and I truly couldn't think of a better investment than on a concept that provides local communities with an outlet to build and maintain physical and mental strength."
The leading fitness franchise has carved out a niche in the fitness industry as women ages 30-45 years old are the largest demographic taking part. TITLE Boxing Club offers members an interval based workout program that combines bouts of intense cardio and boxing exercises with short periods of rest. This type of interval training provides the most effective work to rest ratio, optimizing the client's results.
TITLE Boxing Club does not promote actual fighting in its clubs, but rather encourages all participants at different fitness levels to workout at their own pace. Trained instructors lead the classes, each with different motivational styles and techniques. Some instructors focus on upper body training while others might incorporate more cardiovascular exercises into their session. During classes, members feed off of the group fitness atmosphere while music takes their mind off the intense effort so they workout harder and longer. Along with the physical results, the concept offers clients intense emotional and spiritual changes as well. Members leave each session with new-found confidence and empowerment.
TITLE Boxing Club has filled a void in the crowded fitness segment and currently has over 500 clubs in development. The brand is taking off across the nation and franchise opportunities are available. For more information on TITLE Boxing Club, visit www.TITLEBoxingClub.com .
