Title Fights for Nurses

Former Member of the Boutique Boxing Fitness Concept Brings ‘Best Hour of the Day’ to Park Slope.

NEW YORK — TITLE Boxing Club, the nation’s leading boutique boxing fitness franchise with more than 180 clubs open across the United States, Mexico and the Dominican Republic, has signed a franchise agreement with Henry Mendez. The 20-year veteran of the telecom industry will bring the club that provides ‘the best hour of your day’ to the Park Slope neighborhood in Brooklyn.

Striving to live a healthy lifestyle and already a practitioner of Krav Maga, Mendez was looking for an upbeat cardio workout when he took his first class at the Forest Hills TITLE Boxing Club in late 2019. He immediately became enamored with the boxing workout, trainer, look and feel of the club, and especially the feeling he had after class. He quickly made it a weekly ritual to take a class. At the same time, his company of the last decade was going through a reorganization, and then coronavirus pandemic hit New York. Mendez was let go and began working with a placement company and a franchise consultant to discover the next phase of his career.

Mendez repeatedly asked himself, “What do you want to wake up every morning and do?” It became increasingly clear the answer was provide his neighbors with that same great feeling he had after every class at TITLE Boxing Club.

“The experience of taking a class at TITLE Boxing Club has no comparisons,” said Mendez. “I want to provide the same community-driven environment, and a class that will get your heart pumping, to my Brooklyn neighbors. As the city reopens, I want my TITLE Boxing Club to be a safe haven for those looking to live healthier and be active in a post-pandemic world. When you come to TITLE Boxing Club, it’s you and your heavy bag – we’ll be the safest place to get in fighting shape.”

Not deterred by the pandemic-related shutdowns, Mendez anticipates opening his club in Park Slope, Brooklyn this winter.

“It’s always a great day when a passionate and dedicated member is at the right moment in his or her life to join TITLE Boxing Club as a franchisee,” said Susan Boresow, president of TITLE Boxing Club. “Henry’s desire to provide an exceptional experience for those looking to add health and fitness into their lives is exactly what makes him a great addition to our franchise family. Doing so in a city that had to go on full lockdown demonstrates Henry’s trust in the TITLE Boxing Club brand and game plan during these uncertain times.”

Over the last several months, TITLE Boxing Club has shifted its franchise sales to best suit prospective franchise partners. While there’s been an emphasis on health and wellness and a high demand for franchise ownership, the franchise has offered several virtual Discovery Days and virtual training so new owners can open successfully when restrictions in their area begin to ease.

Former Member of the Boutique Boxing Fitness Concept Brings ‘Best Hour of the Day’ to Colorado Springs.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — TITLE Boxing Club, the nation’s leading boutique boxing fitness franchise, with more than 180 clubs open across the United States and classes that provide ‘the best hour of your day’, announced today it has signed a franchise agreement to expand the brand in Colorado.

Husband and wife team Faye Moussa and Sean Bordonaro will open their first TITLE Boxing Club in Colorado Springs. Moussa’s first experience with TITLE Boxing Club was back in 2012 when she was juggling a high-stress job at an investment bank, while also working towards her MBA at University of North Carolina’s Kenan-Flagler Business School. To relieve stress, she became a regular at her local TITLE Boxing Club in Raleigh. When the couple moved and briefly lived in Manhattan, TITLE Boxing Club never left Moussa’s mind.

In late 2019, Bordonaro accepted a job as a firefighter at Buckley Air Force Base, relocating the couple to Colorado. After the move Moussa searched for a nearby club and quickly realized there was no TITLE Boxing Club close enough to be part of her routine. She was still in a demanding job and starting researching the franchise opportunity. Then the coronavirus pandemic hit, changing everything. With jobs and careers no longer a guarantee, Moussa realized it was the right time to go into business for herself and put her MBA in Entrepreneurship to use, opening up the area’s first club.

“Working full time in finance, and in school to get my MBA, I had initially joined TITLE Boxing Club as a member in Raleigh as a stress reliever,” said Moussa. “I fell in love with it. It was my outlet to decompress from a stressful job. When we moved to Colorado, I knew I needed to get back to boxing. When there weren’t any clubs nearby, it dawned on me that it was the perfect time jump into entrepreneurship. I am so excited to join the TITLE Boxing Club family in this new capacity!”

Moussa and Bordonaro aren’t just starting their journey as entrepreneurs. The husband and wife team is also starting their family and are expecting their first child in December.

As part of the signed agreement, Moussa and Bordonaro anticipate opening their club in northeast Colorado Springs in the fall.

“It’s always a great day when our members become part of the TITLE Boxing Club franchise family, and we are thrilled to have Faye and Sean on board,” said Susan Boresow, president of TITLE Boxing Club. “In these trying times, many are looking to get away from corporate America or have experienced layoffs, and like Faye, they are looking to take control of their future and own their own business. We have gone virtual to allow prospective business owners to dive in to the fitness space.”

As Boresow notes, TITLE Boxing Club has shifted its franchise sales to best suit prospective franchise partners. While there’s been an emphasis on health and wellness and a high demand for franchise ownership, the franchise has offered several virtual Discovery Days and virtual training so new owners can open successfully when restrictions in their area begin to ease.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — TITLE Boxing Club wants to fight for those fighting on the front lines of COVID-19 this National Nurses Week (May 6-12, 2020).

Then, during National Nurses Week franchisees from around the country will show how TITLE Gives Back by surprising some of the nominated nurses with special gifts and recognition.

“While a global pandemic may be changing the world and our communities’ sense of normal, we still want to do everything in our power to continue helping people. Right now, it’s our country’s hardworking nurses who deserve an extra boost,” said Susan Boresow, president of TITLE Boxing Club. “They are putting their lives on the line every time they go to work, and we want to say a big ‘thank you’ to every nurse out there. We want to fight for those fighting on the front lines of this pandemic.”

TITLE Boxing Club is calling for friends, families and loved ones to nominate a nurse who inspires them on social media. Those looking to nominate a deserving nurse must post a video or photo to Facebook, Instagram or Twitter sharing the nurse’s name, how the nurse has been an inspiration during these uncertain times, and what city the nurse lives in. To count as an entry, the nominator will have to follow and tag @titleboxingclub and hashtag #TITLEFights4Nurses.

“We know that sometimes you just need to throw some punches to relieve stress, and we want to help nurses everywhere do exactly that!” said Boresow.
