PHILADELPHIA – Jabz Boxing, the empowering female-only boxing studio that features full-body, circuit-style workouts using boxing inspired exercises, announced today its strategic expansion plan for the Philadelphia metro area. The brand is set to open six to eight more locations in the surrounding counties.
“Philadelphia is a top priority for Jabz and we want to keep the momentum there strong. We already have two open locations in the area and with two more on the way, we plan on being a full force in the market,” said Kimberlee White, CEO and co-founder of Jabz Boxing, who is also a Philadelphia native. “Jabz has stayed true to its mission since the very beginning in providing an empowering boxing-based workout to women of all types that encourages them to foster a sense of community and comradery in our studio – a mission that also empowers franchisees to run a business they can feel good about.”
White, along with Jabz Boxing co-founder and president, Len Hayko, opened the first Jabz Boxing studio in 2012 in Scottsdale. The studio quickly reached maximum membership capacity, and they began franchising the concept the following year. Jabz Boxing currently has about 20 franchised studios throughout Arizona and two locations in the Philadelphia metro area – all of which are owned by former Jabz Boxing members or employees.
“We’re looking to grow the brand in Philadelphia with like-minded individuals who understand the anxiety and fears that come with getting one’s health and fitness back on track and who is equally prepared to motivate each member,” added Hayko. “As a franchisee, you’re responsible for growing a great local team of trainers, getting members on board and helping members meet, and in many cases, exceed their goals. It’s an opportunity to help people transform people’s lives.”
With Philadelphia’s expansion well underway, Jabz Boxing also plans to increase its footprint across the country, entering key markets such as Las Vegas and Denver.
