Coach Spotlight: Interview with Bianca of Jabz Boxing Wiregrass

by Jabz Boxing | Jun 14, 2022 | Spotlight

Thank you for taking the time to share your story with us today! I think everyone is curious about their coaches’ backgrounds & how they got started in fitness, so let’s start there!

I started off very inconsistent and lost, much like everyone else, and even when I started to become consistent I look back now and realize I didn’t know ANYTHING about fitness. I was just doing a lot of cardio and definitely not eating enough. I dropped down to the weight I thought I wanted, but could never keep it there and soon realized I was miserable and couldn’t sustain that lifestyle to look “skinny”. I soon found bodybuilding and became obsessed with watching competitors on YouTube. I finally reached out to a well-known coach to help me get where I wanted and that’s where everything changed for me. I actually started learning healthy ways to approach diet and fitness and became addicted to the progress and muscle mass I was putting on and since then I haven’t stopped. Building and creating my physique has been an ongoing process the past 6years and I love the discipline it teaches you.

It’s really nice to hear that you felt like a fitness “newbie” at one point. And that you personally experienced the whole “diet culture” mentality and realized that it wasn’t sustainable or healthy for you. That really makes you relatable to clients and prospective clients, many of whom have experienced those same feelings, or might be experiencing them now. Since we’re on the topic of clients, what is your favorite part about being a coach?

Meeting and helping people. Most won’t believe it, but I’m very much an introvert and a shy person, but coaching brings out a side of me that is passionate and wants to help and see people succeed so it sparks a fire in me. I get to express myself in what I love.

What do you think is special about Jabz Boxing workouts?

I love that it’s not just cardio or just weights but you get the rush of hitting the bags. Learning how to box has been a game changer for me. Working out has always been a stress reliever but adding in boxing/kickboxing relives stress at a whole new level.

What’s your go-to “fun fact”, or something that people might not know about you?

I competed in my first bikini competition in 2019. Was on prep for 5 months and got 2nd place.

Impressive! That’s dedication. Thank you for talking to us today, Bianca! If you’re reading this and can’t wait to take her class, visit Bianca at Jabz Boxing Wiregrass in Wesley Chapel, Florida.

“The Jabz Boxing workout is approachable, fun, and easy to scale to provide a challenge for anyone of any age or fitness level,” shared Chandra. “We love how community-focused the Jabz Boxing concept is, and we are excited to offer something unique to the San Antonio fitness market.”

Coach Spotlight: Interview with Patrick of Jabz Boxing Bel Air

by Jabz Boxing | Apr 20, 2022 | Spotlight

Thank you so much for joining us, Patrick. We love to start off learning a little more about you. Could you tell us about yourself, your background, and how you got started in the fitness industry?

I grew up in South Jersey and attended the University of Delaware where I earned my Bachelor’s in Education with a concentration in Special Education. I am currently a full-time high school special educator in Cecil county Maryland. I started my fitness career with a cycle certification in college and have been adding certifications ever since. I’ve been teaching boxing-style classes for over 4 years and love to punch and kick my way to fitter, stronger me!

Wow, four years of experience in boxing style classes! I bet we’ll see some new how-to videos from you on social media soon. We’d love to hear your thoughts on what sets Jabz Boxing apart from other boxing-inspired concepts. What makes us unique?

Jabz Boxing is unique because it takes the uniqueness of boxing and pairs it up with a HIIT-style format. We have actual bags and a ring that we use to perfect our strikes, all while holding ourselves accountable to the effort by using clear intervals of work and rest. Every day works on a different [muscle] focus to allow for you to never be bored.

Why do you love about coaching/leading fitness classes?

Coaching is a real honor for me. I get to help others find their “why” and I get to be right there with them as they work to their best effort for each and every class. I am a hands-on coach so I love to not only model what we are doing, but I will also get right in there with my participants and show them they are not alone in this journey. The coolest thing about coaching is getting to be a witness and active member of others’ fitness journeys!

I know we don’t fight opponents at Jabz Boxing, but we’re still curious – if you could pick anyone, dead or alive, who would you like to be in a boxing match with?

If I could be in The Ring with anyone it would have to be The Rock because, well, it’s The Rock!

Jabz Boxing continues to expand into key markets across the country, including a recently opened location in Wesley Chapel, FL, and locations coming soon in San Antonio, TX, and Bowie, MD.

Jabz Boxing, where gritty boxing gym meets luxury boutique studio, announces the grand opening of its newest location will be held Saturday, January 8, 2022, in Wesley Chapel, FL. Located at 28152 Paseo Drive in the Shops at Wiregrass, the newest Jabz studio will operate under owner-operator Amanda Greenleaf. Jabz Boxing brings a fresh take on functional training to the Tampa fitness scene with its signature HIIT-style, boxing-based classes. Jabz Boxing offers a premium boutique option that focuses on fitness, not fighting, and everyone is encouraged to “come as you are, leave stronger.”

With a background in management and customer service, Amanda always wanted to become an entrepreneur. She knew right away she’d found what she was looking for when she discovered the Jabz Boxing opportunity. “I believe in the process and the workout that Jabz offers, and I’m thrilled about this opportunity to offer a bright spot in clients’ day and help others feel better in their own skin,” shared Amanda. “Jabz offers an inclusive and progressive environment where anyone can come in and have a good time and a great workout, and, for those who don’t have a background in boxing, learn a new skill, too.”

Jabz’s science-backed workout incorporates elements of kickboxing, cardio, plyometrics, agility, and more into a fast-paced circuit that can be scaled up or down to safely deliver a challenge within reach to all. With nationally-certified coaches trained to offer clients progressive challenges, members continue to see progress over time and leave the ring a little stronger each day.

Leading up to the studio’s opening, Amanda and her team have been hosting pop-up events in the area to introduce the community to the workout structure, a sampling of the equipment used during studio classses, and the coaching team at Jabz Boxing Wiregrass. “The community is very close-knit in this area, and that fits along nicely with the community focus that happens within the ring at Jabz,” said Amanda. We’ve gotten great feedback from clients so far. We’re thrilled to open the doors to the studio to provide a safe space where clients can continue to get together, get stronger, and find a new ‘home.’ Boutique fitness is huge in this area, and I’m so pleased to have the opportunity to build the first Jabz Boxing community in the state of Florida.”

A limited number of founding memberships remain available leading up to the location’s grand opening next month. For more information, visit: https://jabzboxing.com/locations/Wiregrass
