Tim
Tim grew up playing every sport under the sun, but after high school he let sports and his health take a back seat. Once he got his head back in the game three years ago, he worked hard and lost over 100 pounds. Now he loves making fitness a priority and helping others do the same. Tim also works as a Senior Copywriter at Sears. When the final bell rings and Tim packs up his mitts for the day, he likes to head out to grab some kombucha and grilled veggies. And by kombucha and grilled veggies, he means sit on the couch with his wife and watch an unhealthy amount of Netflix. Aside from binge watching everything, he loves to cook. Whether it’s healthy meals for the week or a batch of coconut crusted fried chicken tenders with spicy apricot jam dipping sauce (personal fav), trying out new recipes is always a fun challenge. Plus, there’s no better way to show someone you care than by cooking them something tasty.
My personal mantra:
Try to get just 1% better each day. At the end of the year, you're 365% better!
My training style is:
Authentic, Heart
My why:
I ended up finding TITLE because I needed to take my health back. My doctors told me I needed to lose at least 60 lbs and the thought of trying to do that on a treadmill seemed impossible (and boring as sh*t). Aside from helping me lose a total of 70 lbs and feel healthy, Title taught me to push myself harder than I thought I could and to embrace & love the challenges you'll face while working towards your goals. Now that I have my health under control, I keep coming back to become a better boxer. There is always more to learn, more to improve and more fun to be had.
What gives me my fighting spirit:
Carnitas
Kevin
Born and raised in Wilmington, NC, Kevin’s fitness journey started as early as church league basketball in his youth. Continuing with basketball through high school, he realized basketball wasn’t a suitable option of income for the future, so he decided to get into acting/comedy (a much more reasonable industry to break into). Skateboarding and hopping fences kept him in-shape through high school as he became immersed in the arts. In college, intramural basketball, ultimate Frisbee and dominating other theater majors in most sports kept him in shape. He moved to Chicago in hopes of pursuing acting, which is when he discovered TITLE and started working in sales. After continuing to take classes and working with the fantastic training staff, Kevin soon found that he knew the punches and could use a microphone. You may find him to this day working out at TITLE or practicing writing in the third person.
My personal mantra:
I have a million I love but I'll keep it to three. 1. “Calm seas have never made a good sailor.” 2. ”The best things in life aren't things.” (I don’t know who said this, but I heard it from my father and want to keep it that way.) 3. ”Give a man a fire, and he's warm for the night. Set him on fire, and he's warm for the rest of his life" - Terry Pratchett
My training style is:
Fun, Connected
My why:
I've been a big fan of boxing for a few years now and a friend of mine told me a boxing gym was hiring so I applied. I guess that's the easiest way to say how I ended up at Title. What keeps me coming back is my co-workers and members I've become friendly with. Although I am quick to make jokes I really do like everyone I get the chance to interact with at Title. I couldn't have been more lucky to end up working here because It's a great gym that offers a great workout.
What gives me my fighting spirit:
My family. Their sincerity in their friendliness and humor as well as their compassion and work ethic has influenced how I approach my classes.
Katie
Originally from Chicago, Katie moved to New York City directly after high school to attend the Intern Affiliate Program at the Broadway Dance Center. While living in New York, she discovered her love for fitness and nutrition, eventually finding herself in the gym than in the dance studio. She moved home and in 2010 received a diploma in personal training and nutrition from the National Personal Training Institute. Truly passionate about what she does, Katie spends her free time teaching herself different training styles, learning about body mechanics and understanding the benefits of different workouts. She got into boxing in 2013 and joined the TITLE team when the Lincoln Park located opened in 2014. A year into her job with TITLE, Katie was diagnosed with an aggressive form of Rheumatoid Arthritis, which at one point led her to take a leave of absence from teaching. That time away is what made Katie realize just how much she loves fitness, boxing and training others. She credits the boxing workout with giving her both the mental and physical strength to approach life with a debilitating disease.
My personal mantra:
The only work out you will regret is the one you didn't do.
My training style is:
Energetic
My why:
I was ready for a new challenge in the fitness industry. Even though I had little boxing experience, I was open to learning and growing as a fitness professional. Teaching in general is something I've always been very passionate about, so to have the ability to teach boxing classes sounded like an amazing opportunity.
What gives me my fighting spirit:
Being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis has definitely brought out the fighter in me. Even though I have a very debilitating disease at a young age, I refuse to let it take over my life. I wanted to be an inspiration to people and let them know that no matter what life throws at you, don't ever give up!
Anthony
Anthony started training in Tae Kwon Do at an early age. When he was 17, he started training in boxing and Muay Thai kickboxing at the Peoria Athletic Club. Anthony continued boxing while attending the University of Illinois at Chicago, where he obtained his Bachelor’s Degree in Kinesiology. After graduating, he started working as a fitness trainer and assisted in coaching his brother to a Chicago Golden Globes Boxing Championship. Anthony finally returned to his true passion of boxing coaching and training at TITLE, teaching at both the Lincoln Park and Evanston locations.
My personal mantra:
Live Your Best Life
My training style is:
Transforming
My why:
Boxing and fitness are my platform to help others improve their lives.
What gives me my fighting spirit:
My desire to continually grow as an individual.
Annelise
Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, Annelise played soccer competitively all around the US. During her time with Internationals Soccer Club, her team achieved state and regional titles, as well as a national ranking. After an injury ended her soccer career, Annelise found TITLE Boxing Club in Columbus. She was a member there for three before becoming a trainer. Annelise graduated from The Ohio State University’s Fisher College of Business in 2017 with a specialization in finance where she received recognition as part of the top 1% of the FCOB. Annelise now works for Ernst & Young as a Strategy Consultant, traveling Monday through Thursday to her client site. Aside from work, she loves to travel, try new things, do anything outside, and spend time with her family and friends! You can find Annelise on the schedule on the weekends and sometimes during the week (when she’s in town).
My personal mantra:
Lukewarm is no good! Practice doesn’t make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect.
My training style is:
Fun & Connected
My why:
Growing up, I played soccer competitively around the US. It all came to a halt when I fractured my back playing when I was 17. After recovering, I tried a lot of different work outs, but nothing brought me the excitement soccer had given me. It wasn’t until I tried Title Boxing when I was 19 that I found something I truly loved. I was a member for about 3 years, prior to becoming a trainer. I love the community and the workout!
What gives me my fighting spirit:
My mom. She’s fighting stage 4 cancer...and winning!
Aidan
Aidan began his fitness career in high school as a wrestler and a football player. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Lake Forest College where he played football and rugby. He earned the title of “All-Conference” for football and was president of his Lake Forest College Rugby Team. After graduating, Aidan served in the United States Marine Corps, during which time he was a lead martial arts and combat instructor. Aidan is currently a graduate student in the School of Education at DePaul University. He is pursuing a career as a high school history teacher. In addition to TITLE, Aidan also coaches high school wrestling and works as a fitness instructor at Chicago Neighborhood Fitness Centers.
My personal mantra:
Walk softly and carry a big stick.
My training style is:
Heart
My why:
I went to one of Eric's classes and loved the way everyone's energy built off of each other and made you want to work harder and applied for a position immediately after the class.
What gives me my fighting spirit:
I try to be a nice person which means I have to hold in a lot of aggression throughout the day. When I box or fight I can use that pent up anger. I like controlling my anger, not letting it control me.

FAQ's
I’ve heard the classes are intense; do I need to be in great shape to do the workouts?
It doesn’t matter if you haven’t worked out in a while or have never boxed before, you can finish the workout feeling great! You’ll see that everyone goes at their own pace, but believe us that once you’re here, you’ll be inspired to give it your very best!
I don’t want to get hit; is this a contact workout?
No—not ever! Each person in class has their own heavy bag to workout on, plus their own space to move around the bag. Trust us, you won’t even realize anyone else is in the class because you’ll be so focused on the workout! And, rest easy, we never allow sparring or fighting at TITLE Boxing Club.
What makes TITLE different than other fitness studios?
Boxing is a great workout, perhaps one of the most challenging of all sports, and we want to bring you the intensity of the training, minus the impact. We’ll teach you how to roll with the punches by pushing you further than you thought possible.
I’m new to boxing; will someone show me the basics?
You bet! All of our classes are taught by instructors who will show you the ropes from the beginning. We’ll help you wrap your hands and walk you through the basic fundamentals. Everyone in class is at a different level, so take a deep breath and go at your own pace!
Can I bring my children with me?
We do not offer childcare services at TITLE Boxing Club. However, children over the age of eight are welcome to work out with you here and join as a member! Ask us about our Family Membership options.
What do I need to bring to class? How early do I need to arrive?
Hand wraps are essential for your protection and mandatory for class. You can bring your own or buy them here. We’ll have gloves for you to borrow your first time, and you might want to bring a bottle of water and towel! Plan on arriving 20 minutes early so we can get you settled and wrap your hands.
I’ve never hit anything before. Will I hurt myself?
For a beginner, the most important thing is to learn the proper form. The good news is that we’ll teach you! As you progress, you’ll be able to throw several variations of punches from different positions and develop your own punching technique to fit your style. People are usually surprised at how much they love hitting the heavy bag!
Can I try a class before joining?
Of course you can take classes before purchasing a membership. We have drop-in rates for single classes, three or six classes. These are great for people who travel often or want to try us out. You can choose our best value option and commit to a membership any time.
Do you have showers?
We do have a private shower for you to clean up after your workout and please bring any essentials you may need!
