TITLE Boxing Club Edina — Local services in Edina

I’ve made amazing progress on my weight loss goals thanks to Title Boxing’s trainers and staff. In the past 3 months, I lost 34 lbs and am on track to lose even more.

But I really want to tell you about my whole experience with Title. I started going to classes back in June and was soon going several times a week. It wasn’t long before I found I had more energy and strength. My technique was improving with each session. I even had more self-confidence.

There’s something else worth mentioning. Because of a new location opening near me when I joined, I had classes with an influx of different trainers. To Title’s credit, every single trainer motivated me, inspired me and was interested in working with me to achieve my fitness goals – and they still do.

I also found Title to be a welcoming place. My fellow members are motivated, have similar goals, and am as hooked as I am. I’ve even made a few friends there.

I was enjoying classes several times a week but a weight loss challenge at work motivated me to challenge myself even more. I committed myself to working out at Title nearly every day, which was made easier by the giant rush each workout gave me. No matter how great a day I had, it always felt fantastic to tear into the bag after work. My metabolism was where I needed it to be – after eating, it was like an ignition switch had been flipped on. The consistency of my workouts allowed me to focus even more on my diet, removing things that weren’t working for me. It wasn’t hard to do – those foods didn’t align with the new me or the workouts that had gotten me there. It didn’t make sense to eat them anymore and I didn’t crave them.

I’m much closer to my long-term weight loss goals thanks to Title and the staff there. I’m so much more motivated to reach my goals with their support system of knowledge and experience.

If you’re thinking about joining, don’t hesitate. Title is right for you. The best version of you.

Without a doubt, this is the best gym I’ve ever been to. I’ve tried several other gyms, but never found one that I liked or one that I enjoyed go to on a regular basis. From day one, Title Boxing stood out from all of the rest and had me hooked from my first class!

I joined Title Boxing over two years ago and it was honestly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Not only is it an amazing workout, but I’m learning skills that I will have with me for the rest of my life. Kevin, the club manager, is a great person and always very friendly when I walk in the door. He’s also a helpful trainer and is always very encouraging! Aaron, the regional manager, it’s also fantastic. His experience and expertise is remarkable and he does a great job both coaching and managing. I always get excited when Aaron subs in for a class, because I know it’s going to be a good one!

All of the Boxing trainers are incredible, but a few of my favorites are Haylee, Manny, Brady, and Cody. Every trainer has their own unique style, so it’s fun to go to a variety of different classes.

I’ve loved the classes so much that I started investing in one-on-one personal training to learn kickboxing with Haylee. I cannot say enough good things about her and how much I have loved training with her! She’s an amazing coach and an excellent teacher. I’ve learned so much working with her and look forward to every single session.

If you’re thinking about trying a boxing fitness gym, this is your place. I was extremely nervous to go in for my trial class two years ago, but I’m so glad I did because this place has truly changed my life. Huge thank you to all the staff at Title Boxing for what you do for all of your members! You all have such a positive impact on every person you work with and I cannot thank you all enough. :-)

LOVE LOVE LOVE this gym. And I'm usually not the type to get overexcited with the caps lock.

I never imagined that I'd like boxing. I was looking for something that was different from Planet/Snap/Anytime Fitness, and oh boy did I find it.

For each hour long class, you are completely engaged and immersed in what you’re doing. There’s no boredom, no clock watching, no wondering when it’ll be over so you can go do something actually interesting. And, at the end of the class, you’ll have worked up a good sweat and maybe perhaps feel kind of accomplished. You're always hitting the heavy bag, so don't be afraid that you'll have to box other people.

You don’t have to already be in great shape to come here. Let me tell you, my very first class, I thought just the warm up was going to kill me. But here I am, 18 classes and 6 weeks later, getting through the workout with just enough energy to finish the core exercises at the end.

The classes are as hard as you make them, and will therefore always be a challenge. If things are feeling too easy, move a little faster and punch a little harder.

Tips/advice for newbies:

1. Sign up for your first class (the 1st one is free). JUST DO IT.
2. Arrive to your first class or two about 15-20 minutes early. An instructor will help you learn and perfect the punches before class starts.
3. Your first few classes will be overwhelming. If you forget the combo, either make eye contact with the instructor to get them to repeat, or just keep hitting the bag. The combos will come easier after a few classes.
4. Watch Youtube videos on how to wrap your hands. There’s different methods that might work better for you.

If you've always hated/dreaded working out, give heavy bag boxing a try. I signed up on a whim and I'm so glad I did.
