My personal mantra

Don't give up....don't every give up! - Jimmy V

My training style is:

transformative

My why:

I have had a passion for fitness from an early age and now I enjoy sharing my knowledge and fitness journey with others. I seek to inspire others to find the best path for them, in becoming their best selves.

What gives me my fighting spirit:

I was extremely overweight from 5th through 7th grade. I motivated and challenged myself to eat better and do something about it. My brother and I ran 3 miles everyday over the summer before 8th grade and I lost 15lbs. Ever since then, I began improving my diet and getting into training. I promised myself that I would never go back, overcoming my depression and anxiety over the way I felt about myself. My "never rest, never settle" mentality that developed from this experience gives me the strength to keep improving and help others!

Larry Foreman, originally from Queens, NY, says his experience as an athlete was God given. He participated in basketball, football and track in high school. Larry fell in love with the Sweet Science of Boxing after watching his first boxing match between Hagler and Hearns. Larry always says “Training is not what I do, it is who I am.” His other hobbies include reading books and watching movie, especially Kung Fu!

My personal mantra

Everything is in God’s hands.

My training style is:

energetic

My why:

Boxing is my first love, so it would only make sense to work at a Boxing Club where I can continue to improve my skill and share my passion with others.

What gives me my fighting spirit:

I had high cholesterol as a child and suffered warning signs for a heart attack at 11 years old. Sometimes I couldn’t sleep because the pain was unbearable and I had a hard time keeping up with playing sports because of bad cardiovascular fitness. When I got older my cholesterol levels decreased and I was able to gain a better understanding of exercising and portion control. I never wanted to suffer those angina pains anymore and that gives me the drive to push myself everyday.

Originally from Minneapolis, Drew discovered his love for martial arts at a no-gi Brazilian jiu-jitsu gym when his college hockey career pulled him to Northern Minnesota. After graduating with a degree in Education, he coached hockey in Northern Minnesota and high school football in Texas (not simultaneously!). Since discovering TITLE, Drew now uses his own competitive spirit to challenge every class to work even harder than the last one. When he’s not at TITLE, you can find Drew chasing his two huskies, Archer and Lana, around the house.

My personal mantra

Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional

My training style is:

authentic

My why:

As a former Title member, I have experienced the benefits of these classes for myself. Now, as a trainer, I have trained professional athletes, former/active military members, and everyday folks. And I love hearing them all call this one of the best workouts they’ve ever had.

What gives me my fighting spirit:

I work twice as hard now so I can have pizza and beer later

Trainer/Staff Bio

Rob is ready to go each and every day….You will always get his all when you attend his class, including his connected personality and authentic approach to the work out! Rob was raised in Rowland, NC but has since been Bull City adopted and lives in Durham, NC! He graduated from the illustrious North Carolina Central University with a B.S. in Exercise Sports Science in 2015 “Eagle Pride Amplified”. If Rob is not teaching, there is a good chance he is on the bag next to you, continuing to push himself and his body to its limits. When he finally drags himself out of the club he is an artist (graphite and paint), staunch nap enthusiast, and rising home chef. “Food is always the focus”!

My personal mantra

"Consistency is the cheat code, hard work and consistency beats talent when talen doesn't show up" - Eric Thomas

My training style is:

authentic

My why:

When I was introduced to TITLE Boxing Club, I was between jobs and 40 lbs overweight. I was 26, low on confidence and didn't know what was next. Nate and the TITLE Family has given me a second chance to commit to bettering myself through bettering others!

What gives me my fighting spirit:

Fear and Family. Those two things are not necessarily connected but they drive and inspire everything I do. Struggling with adversity has altered my perspective and approach to life. Fear of failure is cliche, but very real and omnipresent in my life. My family have always supported and looked after me even when I've made mistake, and I dedicate my success to their patience and unconditional love.
