Fairfax

Will

   Will was introduced to martial arts when he was enrolled in karate at age 6. His parents hoped it might teach him self-discipline, focus, and respect. They hoped. A lifelong obsession with combat sports was born and he went on to explore other disciplines, including Muay Thai, Jiu-Jitsu, and Capoeira. His favorite sport outside of the combat realm is basketball, and we have been informed by numerous reputable sources that he shoots like Stephen Curry.

    Will has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Kinesiology from JMU, he is a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, and when he isn’t at Title, he works full time as an EMT. Will has experience training people of all ages and body types; from autistic children to cane-toting senior citizens to professional athletes. His ultimate goal is for everyone he trains to feel free within their own body so that their best self may manifest.

Maggie

Maggie is like no other trainer you’ve met before. She’s exhilarating, exciting, and her love for boxing radiates in her 60 minutes in front of the crowd. Boxing helped her feel comfortable in her skin again after her first year of college. While college taught valuable lessons, she found that boxing did too. After a year working out at TITLE, Maggie dove deeper into the world of fitness and became a sales associate for her first TITLE team. She soon started upping her training, exploring the business side of the club, and fully learning the ins and outs of what it takes to live a healthier life. Now, she’s the Assistant Manager of TITLE Boxing Club in Fairfax where she also leads some of the highest intensity classes every Monday morning. You won’t regret saying hello to her at the front desk either – she’s hilarious and her good energy is contagious.

My personal mantra:
“Stop wasting time comparing yourself to others and just do cool things.”

My training style is:
Connected

My why:
Becoming a trainer pushed me out of my comfort zone beyond anything I’ve ever done before. I know what it did for me, and I want to help do the same for other people.

Motivating people to reach their goals.

Johanna

Johanna picked up the sport of boxing in December 2011 when her husband bought her a heavy bag for Christmas. It all started as a way to relieve stress but after hitting the bag for the first time she was hooked. The longer Johanna found herself spending time hitting the bag the more she fell in love with boxing. Her desire to get in the ring grew. With the help of Troy, another one of our TITLE trainers, Johanna eventually got trained and fought in her first amateur fight. As a working mother with four kids, she only had the chance to make it into the ring once, but given the opportunity to do it again, she would. Her dedication truly shows when she’s up every morning leading the morning crowd through her killer 6am classes and finds herself back in the gym later in the evening to take classes for her own workout!

My personal mantra:
There is never an end…You can always keep pushing for better!

My training style is:
Energetic

My why:
I enjoy being in the gym…More of an opportunity to spend time there.

What gives me my fighting spirit:
My family. I work hard for them everyday.
