Total Knockout

With beach days and pool parties in full force this summer, I knew I needed to get my butt to the gym and start something new to get beach ready. Cue….Title Boxing Club, newly opened in South Tampa. We met the girls from Title back at the Taste of South Tampa and immediately began planning our trip to check them out once they opened. Now that they have been up and running for a little over a month, I called and scheduled my free training class and made my way over ready to hook, jab and cross my way through the class!

I was a bit nervous about taking a full hour class as my first time in since I hadn’t been exercising in quite a while. Either way, I conjured up the courage to try it out and all I can say is…WOW! What a workout!! A “Power Hour” class as they call it,  consists of a 15 minute cardio warmup, followed by 30 minutes working the punching bag with different combinations broken down into 8- 3 minute rounds (just like a standard boxing match) and finishing up with a 15-minute cool down which is all core and ab work.

After signing in, sharing some information and suiting up with wraps and gloves (FYI…if you want wraps for your free class, they are $10 for a variety of colors which I highly recommend to protect your knuckles), I grabbed a locker to stow away my stuff and chose my bag for class. The class was challenging, but what was great was the varying levels of experience each person in the class had. I never felt uncomfortable and never felt like everyone was watching me or I didn’t know what to do. The trainer was easy to follow, challenged each of us, but made the movements and combinations easy to understand and maneuver.  The hour flew by and the music that was playing to keep us moving was a great distraction to the fact that I was getting my butt kicked (in the best way possible).

I finished class feeling empowered and really wanting to come back and try again. As I headed out, I asked about any promotions that were being offered and was in luck to hear that there is a “New Teacher Promo” going on RIGHT NOW! I was instantly sold and set up my membership. I have been going now for a few weeks and have LOVED every second of it! The teacher promo basically breaks down to getting 1/2 off enrollment (a $50 savings) and a free kit of gear (a $100 savings). Membership rates will be increasing August 1st, but by joining now, teachers will be locked into the low rate of  only $59/month! This gets members UNLIMITED access to not only the South Tampa location, but any Title Boxing Club nationwide. There are 133 active clubs currently, and that is increasing to 500 in the next 2 years.

Title also offers classes to accommodate any schedule, as early as 5:30AM and starting as late as 7:30PM on weekdays. They also offer classes both Saturdays and Sundays. The trainers and staff have been great and have made each class challenging. In fact, they actually have a challenge during each class in which you can be dubbed the “Power Hour Champ”. Earning this title  means you stood out among the crowd and pushed through the pain. I won champ last week and here is my pic with trainer, Keith and the champion belt. As they say, “THE CHAMP IS HERE!”

The first class is always FREE, so call to schedule your appointment TODAY! 813-289-5420. Remember to tell them Nicholas from NHIE Tampa Bay sent you. Also, they offer some really exciting and unique events throughout the month as well. There are networking events to meet like-minded people after a class like the Boxing and Beers event THIS FRIDAY NIGHT and the upcoming self-defense course as well (exclusively for the ladies) happening on September 27th so keep an eye out for more info soon..  Last but certainly not least, who doesn’t love a good giveaway?!!
