TITLE Boxing Club and Everlast Team Up to Dominate Boxing Fitness Franchise Space
Partnership Pairs Franchising and Retail Experts to Bring New Fitness
Concept & Boxing Products to Market
ANN ARBOR, Mich.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–TITLE
Boxing Club International, the number one fastest-growing franchise
by Inc. Magazine, and Everlast, the global leader in boxing,
mixed martial arts and fitness related products, announced today a
partnership to develop an international fitness franchise, Everlast
Fitness and offer Everlast’s boxing products in domestic TITLE Boxing
Club locations.
The two powerhouse brands are joining together to form an international
relationship in Mexico with aggressive expansion plans to bring Everlast
Fitness worldwide. Everlast Fitness, a new international franchise
concept, will offer members the same boxing and kickboxing Power Hour
fitness classes as TITLE Boxing Club, in premiere fitness studios
internationally. In addition, members will now have the ability to
purchase both brands’ products from the retail areas located inside
domestic TITLE Boxing Clubs. Elite Fitness Brands will serve as the
holding company to both TITLE Boxing Club and Everlast Fitness,
utilizing the same core management group, franchise leadership and brand
efficiencies that led TITLE Boxing Club to be the number one
fastest-growing franchise. Elite Fitness Brands plans to take the highly
effective boxing and kickboxing workout global with both brands leading
the charge.
“With Everlast’s capabilities in worldwide product distribution and
TITLE Boxing Clubs position as the number one fastest-growing franchise,
the formation of Elite Fitness Brands presents mutual benefits to all
parties, including our franchisees,” said John Rotche, CEO of TITLE
Boxing Club International. “The addition of Everlast products sold in
our domestic clubs gives franchisees additional revenue streams and an
added benefit to offer members a choice in their fitness product
selections, which continues to set us apart from the competition.”
With Everlast’s roots firmly planted in product manufacturing and
distribution worldwide, and TITLE Boxing Club’s number one fastest
growing franchise ranking by Inc. Magazine, this international
fitness concept proves to be a mutually beneficial opportunity. TITLE
Boxing Club’s senior leadership team has a proven track record in
franchising multiple successful brands and formed Elite Fitness Brands
to offer their expertise in helping Everlast use its trusted brand name
to get into the franchise game. Similarly, TITLE Boxing Club will
benefit from the power of Everlast’s brand recognition, vast product
inventory and points of distribution.
“We are the oldest brand in the world for the sport of boxing and have
an extensive portfolio of world champion professional boxing and mixed
martial arts athletes. Coupling our experience within the boxing space
and extensive line of world-class products with TITLE Boxing Club’s
proven business model, we believe this partnership puts both brands in
the perfect position for long-term growth,” said Everlast CEO Neil
Morton. “As a 105-year-old company that was built on authenticity and
individuality, Everlast prides itself on only working with premiere
brands, and we are honored to partner with TITLE Boxing Club and its
proven track record in both fitness and franchising.”
