My love for boxing comes from my grandfather. I use to watch fights with him every weekend. Those experiences created a desire and passion for the sport which is why I started training. I’m a former dance team and cheerleading competitor. Because they wouldn’t let me play football, I decided to cheer for it. Fitness and I became best friends after I had my son. I focused on understanding the human body, the mechanics, the movements, and weighted training which led to changes in my body and finding my new love: fitness.
My personal mantra:
Without challenge, there isn't change.
My training style is:
Transforming
My why:
TITLE Westlake helped me in so many ways both mentally and physically as a member before becoming a trainer. It was always about getting stronger. However, dropping 45+ pounds was an amazing journey in itself. I couldn't have done it without the help of my trainers (now co-workers). I wanted to be apart of helping others transform their lives, to give them that fighting spirit, to be 1% better today then yesterday. I was sleeping, sleeping on myself and what I am capable of. TITLE Westlake woke me up. Now, I want to share that magic with others.
What gives me my fighting spirit:
My son Logan.

Everyone Dies Not Everyone Really Lives

“In the fall of 2016, I was mired in a toxic marriage, poor nutritional habits, alcohol abuse, and unrealistic career expectations that I heaped upon myself. As a result, I had neglected my physical health, but more importantly my mental & spiritual health. At 5’8’’ tall I had ballooned to 216 lbs with significant chronic back pain, as well as high cholesterol & blood pressure levels. My genetic family history as it relates to stroke, coronary disease, and addiction weighed on my mind as I continued to spiral downward with my health & wellness. I knew I had to make some sort of change; for my three young kids, for those who cared about me, and for myself. But I didn’t want a workout that made my body ache, like the football training workouts I was accustomed to for most of my life. My good friend Alex (who only happens...It doesn’t matter if you haven’t worked out in a while or have never boxed before, you can finish the workout feeling great! You’ll see that everyone goes at their own pace, but believe us that once you’re here, you’ll be inspired to give it your very best!
No—not ever! Each person in class has their own heavy bag to workout on, plus their own space to move around the bag. Trust us, you won’t even realize anyone else is in the class because you’ll be so focused on the workout! And, rest easy, we never allow sparring or fighting at TITLE Boxing Club.
Boxing is a great workout, perhaps one of the most challenging of all sports, and we want to bring you the intensity of the training, minus the impact. We’ll teach you how to roll with the punches by pushing you further than you thought possible.
You bet! All of our classes are taught by instructors who will show you the ropes from the beginning. We’ll help you wrap your hands and walk you through the basic fundamentals. Everyone in class is at a different level, so take a deep breath and go at your own pace!
We do not offer childcare services at TITLE Boxing Club. However, children over the age of eight are welcome to work out with you here and join as a member! Ask us about our Family Membership options.
Hand wraps are essential for your protection and mandatory for class. You can bring your own or buy them here. We’ll have gloves for you to borrow your first time, and you might want to bring a bottle of water and towel! Plan on arriving 20 minutes early so we can get you settled and wrap your hands.
For a beginner, the most important thing is to learn the proper form. The good news is that we’ll teach you! As you progress, you’ll be able to throw several variations of punches from different positions and develop your own punching technique to fit your style. People are usually surprised at how much they love hitting the heavy bag!
