Jabz Boxing, where gritty boxing gym meets luxury boutique studio, offers a curated experience within a custom-designed ring and a signature circuit incorporating kickboxing, cardio, plyometrics, agility, and functional training into a fast-paced, HIIT-style boxing-based class. Each class is intentionally designed to push everyone to their limits and gain strength, inside and out.
But what really makes Jabz Boxing stand out from others in the fitness industry? Here are just a few reasons Jabz is unlike any other fitness franchise opportunity on the market:
1.Jabz Boxing workouts are challenging at any fitness level: Jabz’s programming allows clients at any level to be appropriately challenged. The exercises incorporated into each class can be easily modified or amplified, allowing everyone who steps into the ring to leave stronger.
Jumping rope, for example, is a component of every Jabz Boxing warm-up. Members who arrive with strong coordination skills and are light on their feet might pick up the pace or add double-unders for a greater challenge, while those who don’t know how to jump rope or are feeling heavy-footed can opt for our air ropes as an accessible modification.
While we want to push every client who walks in the door to being their best self, we’re also here to help everyone succeed. The structure of our programming intelligently delivers a challenge within reach to all, allowing everyone to leave feeling a little bit stronger.
2.Jabz Boxing’s carefully curated programming uses a science-driven approach: Jabz’s annual training plan is rooted in the science-based principles of Periodization and Progressive Overload. Each station within each day within each week of each microcycle is programmed with principles of exercise physiology in mind to deliver a full-body workout with maximum efficiency and benefits.
Through each microcycle, we incorporate both new and familiar movements to balance challenge and variety with proper form and progress. Jabz’s nationally certified coaches are trained to gradually push individual clients to increase the weight or number of reps within a station, ensuring safe, continued growth over time.
These principles create and sustain physiological adaptations, strengthen the body, and drive the results our members rave about.
3.The variety you see on the Jabz Boxing floor has both physical and mental benefits: The variety within a Jabz Boxing class (think: 250+ different pieces of equipment in every studio!) consistently challenges the body. This drives results while mitigating the risk of plateauing and is associated with greater program adherence.
By fatiguing the muscles in a new order or pattern on a regular basis, Jabz Boxing ensures your body is continually challenged to adapt to a new training stimulus. The moral of the story? The intentional variety of our class format helps everyone in the ring get stronger.
Ever attended an exercise class that felt more like a week than an hour? Not here! Throughout each Jabz Boxing class, members move around the room, into the ring, back out of the ring, stop for a quick cardio blast before moving on to the next strength-based station, and before you know it, time’s up! Many people abandon exercise when they get bored or stop seeing results. But Jabz’s programming helps our members stick to a consistent fitness routine and stay on the path toward meeting their individual goals, cultivating a consistent member base.
4. Jabz Boxing is known for supportive coaches and a sense of community: Beyond expertise in exercise physiology concepts proven to build strength, Jabz Boxing coaches know how to bring the heat while supporting each client who steps into the gym, helping everyone leave a little stronger each day.
The Jabz Boxing culture is contagious. The team at our Central Phoenix location has a 4.9-star rating on Google and a 5.0-star rating on Facebook, Yelp, and ClassPass:
“LOVE these workouts,” says one guest, “The instructors are the most positive and uplifting of anywhere I have gone. The workout flies by because it is so fun.”
“…Regardless if you work out everyday, you will find the workouts here challenging,” says another, “The instructors are friendly, the music is kick *$$ and it’s motivating and encouraging…”
Members across the map love Jabz Boxing because of fun, variety-filled classes, the empowering environment our coaches foster, and the science-backed, results-driven programming.
5.Jabz Boxing provides a top-notch franchise experience in the booming boutique fitness industry: If you’re like us, you probably think this science-backed, results-driven, community-focused way of making fitness fun sounds great for clients. And if you’ve dreamed of owning your own business, Jabz Boxing may be the springboard to the career you’ve dreamed of. Our franchisees come from a variety of backgrounds, from fitness to finance, but they have a few things in common; the drive to succeed, a passion for fitness, and a desire to lift up their community.
Jabz Boxing integrates the most effective fitness trends into the studio experience, and with boutique fitness ranking as the fastest growing sector in the fitness industry, there’s no better time to bring Jabz Boxing to your area. Between 2013 and 2017, US boutique fitness membership went up by 121% while traditional membership increased by only 15% over the same period!

What inspired you to go into business ownership with Jabz?
The entire Jabz community was very inspiring to me from day one. When I joined Jabz I didn’t know what to expect, but after a few weeks I was hooked. I loved everything about it…it inspired me so much that I soon after became owner of the studio.
What is one favorite memory you can recall from your journey with Jabz?
Watching our members meet their goals is the most satisfying thing to see. My favorite memory to date is when one of our members met her 100 pounds weight loss goal. The fact that we were there to motivate her throughout her journey and help her reach that goal is the best feeling in the world.
Why should entrepreneurs looking to invest in a fitness franchise consider Jabz?
Owning a Jabz studio has been an amazing experience. It’s a lot of hard work, but it’s 100% worth it. At the end of the day, stepping back and looking at the community you’ve built is an amazing feeling. I wouldn’t change what I do for anything in the world.

Franchising offers a variety of advantages, especially to aspiring business owners. However, there are plenty of misconceptions that can deter many driven individuals from pursuing what they’ve always dreamed of. Here are five things you need to know about franchising as you consider taking the leap into business ownership:
You don’t need a background in business to be a successful franchise owner
Franchise owners come from a variety of personal and professional backgrounds. They’re teachers, military veterans, first responders—you name it! One of our newest franchisees Amanda Greenleaf, for example, held a career in personal finance before deciding to open a Jabz studio in Tampa.
While it can certainly serve as a benefit, a background in business is not required to be a successful franchise owner. There is a good chance the skills you’ve developed throughout your career can transfer over to business ownership. And, we provide you with the tools you need to succeed from day one, including ongoing training, support and the backing of an experienced leadership team.
You don’t always need to be an expert in the industry
Just as it’s not typically required to have a background in business, you also don’t always have to be an industry expert to excel as a franchisee. Plenty of aspiring business owners seek out franchising as a way to enter the industries they’ve always dreamed about working in, but never had the chance. At Jabz, we welcome franchisees from all backgrounds. No need for entrepreneurial experience or a fitness background – just a passion to succeed.
And, as discussed, we all have transferable skills that we’ve accumulated during our careers, such as management, organization and leadership. As the franchise owner, it’s up to you to keep the business up and running. And, while you will have help from your franchisor, you’ll also have the opportunity to play to your strengths and build a team that can help fill any gaps.
You don’t need millions of dollars to buy a franchise
When you first hear the word “franchise,” you may picture a fast-food giant or a big box gym… and a lot of dollar signs. However, the beauty of franchising is that there are thousands of opportunities available that span a variety of different industries (and budgets!).
Jabz offers a low-cost franchise opportunity in the fitness space. The overall start-up estimate to open a Jabz franchise location ranges from $180,850 to $360,625, which is just a fraction of the cost of many traditional fitness franchise opportunities.
You don’t have to work around the clock
Every franchise is different, but you don’t have to be working 24/7 to see to success. Often times, you can hire managers and staff to handle the day-to-day operations, so you can focus on other aspects of running the business. Jabz franchisees have the freedom to manage their studios, and also coordinate with trainers and staff to help tend to everyday tasks.
You don’t have to navigate your journey alone
Franchising empowers you to go into business for yourself—not by yourself!
All franchises are built on the foundation of proven processes and systems, extensive training and support. When you sign the dotted line, you gain access to a variety of tools to guide you through all stages of getting your business up and running, and beyond. Not to mention, you’ll be connected to an entire network of franchise owners. Find out more about our franchise support.

Popular Boxing-Inspired Fitness Studio Signs Lease at Pilgrim Gardens Shopping Center
DREXEL HILL, Pa. – Jabz Boxing announced today a local entrepreneur has signed a lease agreement for a new location nestled between Drexel Hill and Havertown. The boxing-inspired, circuit-style workout studio will open at Pilgrim Gardens Shopping Center, along the north side of the shopping and dining destination that features national and local retailers.
Jabz Boxing delivers unparalleled classes led by nationally-certified coaches in a supportive and community-driven environment. With the tagline “Come as you are, leave stronger,” Jabz inspires individuals from all backgrounds and at all fitness levels to step into the ring.
“After having my third child, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that made it difficult to work out,” said Shannon Crowley, the owner of Jabz Boxing Drexel Hill. “When I tried the Jabz Boxing workout, I was surprised by how fast the class flew by. The workout had the ability to be modified, and I never felt like anyone was judging me or waiting on me to finish.”
Jabz Boxing helped Crowley get back into working out, but she’s always had a passion for functional training exercises and working hard. As a Temple and Cabrini University graduate, Shannon Crowley is an enterprising business owner with more than a decade of experience in teaching and eight years as a business owner concurrently. Combining her experience in leading students and teaching math and computer science with her entrepreneurship background, Crowley is well positioned to introduce Drexel Hill to the Jabz Boxing experience.
In addition to Crowley, Christina Cunningham will manage the Jabz Boxing Drexel Hill. Cunningham comes from a prestigious athletic background with experience competing in more than 25 triathlons, including Ironman Lake Placid in 2018, as well as qualifying and running in both the Boston Marathon and the Philadelphia Marathon. Cunningham is a great addition to the Jabz Boxing Drexel Hill team.
“As we continue to grow in Pennsylvania, we saw Shannon and Christina’s passion for fitness and felt that it truly embodied what Jabz Boxing is all about,” said Danielle Scott, Jabz Boxing Brand President. “Shannon and Christina have the entrepreneurial know-how and the right mindset to fit the Jabz Boxing culture and we know they are the perfect people to bring Jabz to Drexel Hill.”
Unlike other boxing gyms, Jabz’s focus is on developing fitness, not fighters. The brand’s signature workouts combine boxing-inspired exercises with cardio, plyometrics and functional training movements designed to push clients to their limits and deliver maximum results.
The signed lease in Drexel Hill marks Jabz Boxing’s continued growth along the East Coast. With two locations already open in Pennsylvania and one in New Jersey and an upcoming opening in Maryland, Jabz Boxing is poised for continued expansion into new markets across the United States. Several franchise agreements in the development pipeline position Jabz Boxing to become the breakout boutique fitness brand in the post-pandemic fitness space.
