New Boxing Club Wants People to Punch Pounds Away

A new boxing club in Wayne allows people to channel their inner Rocky Balboa to get in shape.

Title Boxing Club gives customers the chance to try boxing as a way of shedding extra pounds. The club recently opened and will have its grand opening May 11.

“It’s such an effective workout. You’re getting your heart rate up. You’re toning your body,” said Jose Montalvo, the club’s owner. “You can burn hundreds of calories in a workout. People try it and they love it. It’s really addicting.”

With mixed martial arts and Ultimate Fighting on the rise, more and more people are turning to boxing and kickboxing as a way of getting in shape, Montalvo said.

Title Boxing isn’t in the business of developing the next MMA champion. They don’t teach people how to box and kick box to fight. Montalvo and his wife show participants the proper way to wrap their hands and punching technique to get people in shape.

The club offers a variety of boxing and kickboxing classes. Attendees can take their first Power Hour class for free.

Participants can start with basic classes and move up to more advanced ones. They can also work one on one with a sparring partner or personal trainer.

“We want to give people options and give them the option of moving up,” Yessenia Montalvo said. “They have the option of going at their own pace.”

Title Boxing Club is located in the Willow Square Shopping Center on Route 46 West. It is open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
