SHOW UP AND SWEAT

Trainer/Staff Bio

Austin grew up in West Chester, Ohio in the suburbs of Cincinnati. He played various sports through his youth but eventually landed on lacrosse and played through high school and college at The University of Dayton. He’s always cared about staying active and once moving to downtown Cincinnati, the community at Title stood out as a great option to both make friends and sweat out the stressors from work. Outside of Title, he works at GE Aerospace. He plays various recreational sports, spends weekends camping and loves hiking!

My personal mantra

All you need to do is start, the rest will come!

My training style is:

authentic

My why:

Playing sports the majority of my life has given me a strong competitive edge. I’ve quickly learned that in Title boxing classes, my biggest competitor is myself and the challenge to push harder only makes me feel better physically. Of course it’s an added bonus that both the members and staff at Title are all awesome and foster a great community that I’m blessed to be welcomed into.

What gives me my fighting spirit:

A great music playlist and the contagious energy at Title!

Kate has been involved in team sports for as long as she can remember. Growing up in Cincinnati, she played soccer, softball, and competitive basketball and volleyball during her younger years and stuck with volleyball once she got to high school. After playing year-round volleyball in high school, she moved to St. Louis, MO where she played club volleyball at St. Louis University and pursued her dream for nursing. After graduating with her Bachelor’s of Nursing, she moved back home to Cincinnati and began to study for the NCLEX, the nursing boards. During study breaks, she searched for a new gym in Cincy, which led her to TITLE Boxing Club Downtown Cincinnati. She was instantly hooked after taking her first class and always looked forward to the best hour of the day at TITLE. She fell in love with the club, the workout, the trainers, the members, and the incredible feeling of empowerment that accompanied every boxing class. TITLE helped her increase her strength both physically and mentally, and continues to do so every day she in the club.

Kate’s dream has always been to become a Registered Nurse and care for others, and her passion has always been to better her mind and body through fitness.  She is blessed to be able to live out her dream and passion today by caring for others as a Registered Nurse at The Christ Hospital as well as a Title Boxing Coach and ACE Certified Personal Trainer.  She loves to see the impact TITLE can have on someone’s mental and physical health and loves being a part of their process of bettering themselves inside and out.  She always says, “I have no idea what kind of nurse I would be without boxing in my life,” and that statement could not be more true.  Through the COVID pandemic, taking care of patients as a COVID RN, TITLE kept her smiling and ready to fight through each challenge and hopeful for a future back in the club with the best TITLE Family.  Boxing has changed her life and knows it can change yours too! You can always find Kate greeting you at the club with a smile, a positive attitude, probably dancing to some music, and helping others become the best versions of themselves!

Born and raised in Cincinnati, sports and fitness has always been part of Katie’s lifestyle. Although she played varsity basketball and volleyball in high school, she found a new way to channel her inner competitiveness (and sweat) when introduced to group fitness in college. After training for half marathons, taking barre classes, and participating in strength bootcamps – Katie found her favorite & most effective workout was boxing!

In addition to training, Katie’s success in the nonprofit and fitness industry has allowed her to team up with us to further develop TITLE’s marketing initiatives.

While not working out, Katie can be found cooking out with her family, playing with her puppy (Luna), or sipping on her signature Moscow Mule drink.

My personal mantra

You are your only limit.

My training style is:

Aside from enjoying the workout itself, I truly wanted to inspire people. I want our members to look at me and say “Because of you, I didn’t give up”

Fitness and Wellness has always been a way of life for Kaz. He grew up playing basketball, soccer, football, and golf competitively. With an older brother who was a professional boxer, Kaz grew up hitting the heavy bag. While he was involved in sports, he realized how important it was to maintain wellness physically, mentally, and spiritually. Kaz is now looking to pursue a career in Physical therapy after recently graduating with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy.  You can still find Kaz either working out with the members at the club or at trivia night with friends enjoying a friendly beer. His hobbies are hiking, boxing (of course), and finding the next best donut shop. (Everything in moderation right)?!

Don’t count the days. Make the days count.
