SHOW UP AND SWEAT

Trainer/Staff Bio

Nancy was very active growing up and always involved in school sports. As an adult, she joined many types of boutique gyms but none that she stayed longer than 9 months. In 2016, Nancy came to try her first Boxing class and was hooked. After 1 month, she  started working with a Pro boxing coach Anthony who helped fine tune her punches and learn  more about the sport. In 2018, Nancy became a Title trainer and started teaching 3-4 classes a week. In May 2019, Nancy walked away from the corporate world as a pharmacist of 10 years and along side her husband Nick became owners of Title Boxing Club Danvers.

My personal mantra

"Keep your hands up in the game of life."

My training style is:

Authentic

My why:

I became a TITLE trainer because I wanted to teach people that they can solve most of their problems with their fists and a heavy bag.

What gives me my fighting spirit:

My fighting spirit comes from the idea that, once you enter that ring, you really understand what type of person you are. There's no faking it. There's no hiding. You either got it, or your don’t!

Trainer/Staff Bio

Dominic was never good at team sports as a kid. He took on wrestling in 2nd grade and fell in love with the sport. He wrestled all through high school and earned his purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu along the way. Boxing was almost an accident for him, and it started with one bullying situation in 5th grade. Dominic was in a bad situation with a big group of people, and he wanted to make sure nothing like that ever happened again. He began hitting mitts a couple nights a week at the local gym in Wakefield just to learn how to defend himself. From there, Dominic fell in love with boxing and quickly picked it up and began sparring for fun. After a few years of hard work in the gym, his coach asked him if he wanted to give fighting a try. Dominic was certainly overwhelmed but said yes and took his first professional fight at age 19. After that, he joined TITLE Boxing Club and has been here ever since.

My personal mantra

"Hands up. Chin down. In the ring and in life."

My training style is:

Authentic

My why:

Knowing that I can always be a little better is my “WHY." You cannot perfect the game of boxing, so there is always room to improve. Boxing is a great avenue for trying to always better yourself as a person and athlete, and you can always keep growing because you’ll never reach the top.

What gives me my fighting spirit:

Knowing that I could protect myself if a situation is what gives me my fighting spirit. Just knowing how to keep your hands up and throw solid punches can really boost someone’s confidence.

Trainer/Staff Bio

Growing up, Leah played soccer, and she’s done traditional martial arts since she was 11 years old. She is still actively training in martial arts and loves every minute of it. When she had surgery on her foot years back, she needed some kind of rehab to keep herself still punching and working out – especially since she had been doing this most of her life. It was hard for her to stay sidelined. She was stuck in a boot, and it was going to take at least a year for her to be able to walk correctly, never mind being able to even kick again. She decided to join TITLE Boxing Club, and it was the best decision she ever made. She was able to work her upper body, slowly get her footwork back, and learn a different fighting style… boxing! She became addicted and couldn’t wait to hit the bag. TITLE Boxing Club has changed her life and helped her not give up – even when she kept having set backs. She kept getting back up and hitting that bag, and she loved every minute of it!

My personal mantra

“You will never know your limits unless you push yourself to them.”

My training style is:

Energetic

My why:

I became a TITLE trainer because I love what I do. I love the sport and the energy it gives off. When I see everyone hit that bag and working out, I watch their confidence grow as they push themselves and don't give up. So many positive outcomes come from hitting the bag, and I want to help everyone reach them.

What gives me my fighting spirit:

There are so many different fighting styles, and each style has a different reasoning behind its techniques. I want to learn them all to help me become a better martial artist but also so that I can have more knowledge on how to approach different fighting scenarios.

Trainer/Staff Bio

Laura grew up being active. She started gymnastics in 1st grade and stopped after senior year of high school. Working out and conditioning was something she was used to. She tried to remain active on a regular basis, having memberships to different gyms, running, obstacle course racing…etc. Then, she tried boxing and fell in love with it. The intensity, speed, and power are all the things she craved. She became a member of TITLE in January of 2013, religiously going to six classes per week. In June of 2017, she became part of the TITLE management team. Now she is teaching classes, which allows her to help people just starting out and to witness their love of boxing evolve. To see members reach their goals and strive to be better is an amazing benefit of her job.

My personal mantra

"No one is going to the work for you."

My training style is:

Energetic and Transforming

My why:

Any form of physical activity makes me feel powerful. Not only physically but mentally as well. If I feel strong and powerful during my workouts, I feel that way in every aspect of my life. That feeling of being fearless to try and accomplish anything life throws at me keeps me going. It keeps that voice in my head saying, "Yes, you can do this".

What gives me my fighting spirit:

I compete with myself - no one else. I have to answer to myself if I'm not happy with how I look or feel. I try to be mindful of my inner voice to push, motivate, and compliment myself - not to rely on anyone else for my accountability or self-acceptance.
