Wednesday, June 13th, 2012
Company Plans Call for Nearly 15 Additional Locations to Open Throughout the State
TOTOWA, N.J. – LA Boxing®, the world’s largest boxing, kickboxing and mixed martial arts (MMA) fitness franchise, announced today that it signed a franchise agreement with local entrepreneur Franco Pacelli to open a new LA Boxing gym in North Jersey, which will be located at 360 Route 46 in Totowa.
Planned to open in September 2012, the new LA Boxing will be the first of nearly 15 additional locations the company plans to have open or in development throughout New Jersey within the next 18 months. Currently, there are seven locations already operating throughout the state—three in North Jersey, two in Central Jersey, and two in South Jersey.
“We’re looking to grow throughout New Jersey with franchisees like Franco who are business savvy and fitness-minded,” said Philip Jacobs, LA Boxing Director of Franchise Development, adding that there is a high demand throughout the market for alternatives to large, impersonal fitness centers. “We have found that local consumers are increasingly interested in fitness concepts like LA Boxing that offer an unconventional way to stay in shape and break from their typical routine.”
With nearly 75 locations open nationwide and another 50 in the development pipeline, expansion throughout New Jersey is part of the company’s strategic franchise expansion plan which calls for more than 220 locations to open nationwide by 2015. The gyms will be concentrated in most major U.S. cities including Chicago, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and Seattle, among others.

LA Boxing® Goes for SoCal Knock Out

The Unique Fitness Franchise Announces Aggressive Expansion Plans for Southern California Market
SANTA ANA, Calif. (April 20, 2012) – LA Boxing®, the world’s largest boxing, kickboxing and mixed martial arts (MMA) fitness franchise, announced today aggressive growth plans for the Southern California market. With a recently opened location in Long Beach and a signed franchise agreement in Orange County, the company plans to bring upwards of 10 additional locations to the market by 2014.
“As we know from being headquartered here, this area of the country is one of the most fitness-conscious places in the world, making it an ideal location for our results-oriented boxing, kickboxing, and MMA workouts,” said Philip Jacobs, LA Boxing Director of Franchise Development, adding that there is a high demand throughout the market for alternatives to large, impersonal fitness centers.
LA Boxing focuses on fun, efficient and effective group boxing workouts and intense one-on-one personal training in a clean, welcoming and friendly environment taught by instructors with actual fighting experience. Unlike individual workouts at most gyms, LA Boxing’s group classes are filled with a mix of all fitness levels and, although intense in nature, members are encouraged to workout at their own pace.
The unique fitness franchise made its debut in Long Beach, Calif. in January 2012 when the company’s General Counsel, Shaun Grove, opened a location. Grove joined LA Boxing in the spring of 2009 as General Counsel to the burgeoning fitness concept. After working closely with the company, the former NCAA Div. I-AA football player for San Diego University decided his life-long passion for fitness would translate well into owning a gym.
“I’ve always wanted to be an entrepreneur and just being around the gyms made me want to open an LA Boxing location,” said Grove. “Fitness has always been a passion of mine, so I was really attracted to the unique workouts that LA Boxing offers its members. When the opportunity came to open a gym in Southern California, I went for it.”
“Aside from being our General Counsel, Shaun’s knowledge and passion for fitness and exercise, coupled with his leadership skills made him the perfect person to capitalize on our Southern California growth strategy,” said Jacobs.
With nearly 75 locations open nationwide and another 50 in the development pipeline, expansion throughout California is part of the company’s strategic franchise expansion plan which calls for more than 220 locations to open nationwide by 2015. The gyms will be concentrated in most major U.S. cities including New Orleans, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and Seattle, among others.

LA Boxing® Knocks Out First Franchise Agreement in New Orleans
Tuesday, April 24th, 2012
Local Personal Trainer to Open New Orleans’ First LA Boxing Gym; Company Plans Call for More Than 5 Additional Locations to Open Throughout the Market
For Immediate Release:
NEW ORLEANS (April 16,2012) – LA Boxing®, the world’s largest boxing, kickboxing and mixed martial arts (MMA) fitness franchise, announced today that it has signed a franchise agreement with local entrepreneur Scott Musso to open the first LA Boxing gym in New Orleans. Already very successful in Baton Rouge with 2 gyms and another one opening soon in Lafayette, the new LA Boxing will be the first of more than five locations the company plans to open throughout New Orleans within the next 18 months.
A college athlete and local personal trainer, Musso had always wanted to open his own gym where members could work towards their health and fitness goals in a comfortable and friendly atmosphere. By pursuing his dream through LA Boxing, the 32-year-old knew he would have the opportunity to successfully fulfill this passion with a proven business model and ongoing support from the franchise.
“LA Boxing is the perfect fit for my lifestyle and professional goals,” Musso said. “As a personal trainer, I’ve been working with consumers throughout the market for the past five years and know LA Boxing is just what New Orleans needs—there’s no other gym like it in the market. I’m excited to bring the first to the area and look forward to further expanding the brand.”
LA Boxing focuses on fun, efficient and effective group boxing workouts and intense one-on-one personal training in a clean, welcoming and friendly environment, taught by instructors with actual fighting experience. Unlike individual workouts at most gyms, LA Boxing’s group classes are filled with a mix of all fitness levels and, although intense in nature, members are encouraged to workout at their own pace. While gaining intangible growth in self-confidence and determination, members have the ability to burn up to 1,000 calories in hour-long classes.
The bright colors, clean environment, and well-organized layout break down the conventional image of a boxing gym. Each LA Boxing is outfitted with a designated area for rows of heavy punching bags, speed bags, a boxing ring, an MMA area, and cardio and strength equipment. LA Boxing has thoroughly researched and tested all components of its concept—location and layout, equipment mix, marketing plans, staff responsibilities, and class schedules, among others.
“With our highly successful gym in Baton Rouge, aggressive expansion throughout New Orleans comes as a natural growth progression for LA Boxing,” said Philip Jacobs, LA Boxing Director of Franchise Development. “There is a high-demand throughout New Orleans for an alternative to large, impersonal fitness centers, making LA Boxing a perfect fit for the area. We’re looking to grow throughout the area with franchisees like Scott who are business savvy and fitness-minded.”
With nearly 75 locations open nationwide and another 50 in the development pipeline, expansion throughout New Orleans is part of the company’s strategic franchise expansion plan which calls for more than 220 locations to open nationwide by 2015. The gyms will be concentrated in most major U.S. cities including Brooklyn, Chicago, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and Seattle, among others.
