Rockit
Biography
I’ve been an athlete since I was young, first as a competitive swimmer, then as a runner and cyclist. The more I realized how important physical activity was to my emotional and mental state, the more I wanted to help others discover this as well. I became a group fitness instructor in my 20’s for this reason, but also as a way to meet new people and get connected in each new community I moved to as a military spouse. That sense of community, connection and helping others reach their fitness and wellness goals has stayed with me ever since. It is what motivates me and drives me each day and why I love being a coach, personal trainer and general manager at Title Shelby. Our commitment to our members, our community and creating a place for everyone to feel accepted and cared for is unique and I feel very blessed to be a part of it.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Cranker
Biography
From a very young age, I loved sports and all things active. I’ve tried just about everything, but my real love was softball. Once college started though, I found it tough to transition to finding motivation from within rather than a team holding me accountable. That was until I found a “team” in the other members at Title Boxing in East Lansing. My love for boxing and the Title community grew even more after graduation when I found Title Shelby. I also realized that my love for fitness had grown SO much, that I wanted to incorporate it into my career for the rest of my life and started OU’s Doctor of Physical Therapy Program. I am currently in my 3rd and final year of school and Title has been there for me, not only as a job that I love, but as an outlet for stress and a place of refuge for me.

Vader
Biography
I found boxing in one of the most difficult times of my life. I was struggling with post-partum depression and anxiety. Boxing became an outlet for me, a place of comfort, and a home with the community at Title. That was only amplified when I became a coach! Pouring into others by helping them work through their own challenges and watching them overcome everything has been so rewarding. I also always had a desire to fight, so in 2025 I began fight training and had two matches that same year. I’ve loved every moment of fighting, sparring and training and have been able to bring the techniques and skills I’ve learned to each class I coach!

Biography
As a lifelong athlete of many sports, I discovered my passion for boxing at Title after struggling to find motivation and structure post high school sports. After facing some unexpected health challenges that reminded me to not take movement or my strength for granted, I’ve found even more meaning in my coaching. I’m here to help others find their strength, push past their limits, and keep showing up for themselves.

Murph
Biography
My passion for fitness has always been rooted in a desire to stay strong, focused, and mentally sharp. With a second degree black belt in Tang Soo Do and more than two decades of experience in martial arts training, sparring, competing and teaching, my love for technique and precision in fitness brought me to Title Boxing as a member in 2016. It demands agility, endurance, coordination, and mental clarity and is a constant challenge and outlet for energy and emotion. It’s more than a workout- it’s a mindset, a discipline, and for me, the most rewarding way to train. Outside of the club, I am a wife, mother of two, and a champion for children with special needs as the director of a not-for-profit.
My Personal Mantra
