SHOW UP AND SWEAT

Trainer/Staff Bio

I am a mother of an adorable 3 year old boy (Eisley) and wife to an amazing husband. We are a hockey family at heart with a passion for boxing! As you can tell, we also are HUGE Star wars fans. I have a fitness background in CrossFit. I started at Title as a member to find an identity for myself. As a mother, it was hard to see myself as anything but that. I wanted to dive into something that gave me relief from all of my anxieties and frustrations, and that is exactly what I found. When I am hitting the bag, I am able to let everything go and become my best self. As a result of training at Title Shelby, I have found myself more confident, less stressed, and completely renewed physically and mentally. I have such a passion for boxing and the people at Title, it felt fitting to pursue a role there.

My personal mantra

Winning hurts. Failure breeds success

My training style is:

heart

My why:

Boxing at Title has transformed my mental health, physical fitness, reconnected me with my faith, and made me feel real beyond anything else. I want to give people the opportunity to feel that also when they are on the bag.

What gives me my fighting spirit:

My Eisley Bear and empowering myself as a woman.

Trainer/Staff Bio

Health has always been a passion of mine, particularly on an internal level. Growing up, I wanted to combine my love for healthcare with creativity, which led me to pursue a career in dentistry. I also enjoyed the discipline of weightlifting but struggled to incorporate style into my workouts—until I discovered Title Boxing. The energy and flow of the sport transformed my approach to fitness. As a coach, I’m dedicated to helping others break free from the stigma surrounding fitness and discover their own potential and strengths.

My personal mantra

You only get one body, fight for it.

My training style is:

authentic

My why:

I want to give back to Title what it has given me- love, strength, and encouragement.

What gives me my fighting spirit:

My faith and the people I surround myself with.

I am a third grade teacher and my passion for inspiring and shaping young minds has directly influenced my drive to inspire others at any age or fitness level. I started as a member and fell in love with boxing and the community that Title Shelby has to offer. I simply couldn’t pass up the opportunity to coach and pass on my love for fitness and community to others.

My personal mantra

Trainer/Staff Bio

I am a lifelong sports enthusiast who grew up playing various sports, leading to my strong passion for athletics. I played softball at Davenport University and had a very successful athletic career over the five years I spent there. Post-graduation, fitness still plays a huge role in my life due to the love I have for weightlifting and cardio exercises. With boxing, I have found a way to stay fit while also fulfilling my desire to still be apart of a sport.

My personal mantra

Growth begins where comfort ends.

My training style is:

My why:

I became a trainer at Title because I wanted to help others build their confidence, achieve their fitness goals, and get 1% better everyday.

What gives me my fighting spirit:

Resiliency. Being able to bounce back from setbacks or adversity with a mentally tough mindset.

Trainer/Staff Bio

I grew up around sports and being active was a huge part of my life. Throughout my youth, I tried just about every sport, but fell in love with volleyball and dancing competitively. Although physical activity was something I grew up knowing, I lost motivation and struggled to find something I loved and would stay consistent with. Then came boxing. The workout itself is one that is unmatched and has helped transform my mind, body & spirit in ways I didn’t know were possible. Being a member at Title allowed me to learn to love myself and feel strong and empowered. Now, as a coach, what drives me is being able to pass on and share that same experience with all members.

My personal mantra

You owe yourself everything you so freely give to others.

My training style is:

heart

My why:

To be the best possible version of myself, for myself, so I can then pour into others and inspire them to do the same.

What gives me my fighting spirit:

The belief that others have always had in me that helped me learn to believe in myself.

Trainer/Staff Bio

I have a long time fitness background and played sports most of my life. I’ve always had a love for fitness growing up and everyday it’s been a big part of my life. However, my true love for fitness came when I experienced how it greatly supported my mental health. As a trainer and mental health therapist, I strongly believe in the connection between our physical and mental health and am excited for the opportunity to help others develop that connection as well.

My training style is:

The opportunity to positively impact people everyday.
