New Fitness Studio is Looking to Empower Women in Howard County 

Columbia, Md. – Jabz Boxing announced today that it has signed a franchise agreement to bring a studio to Columbia, Maryland. Jabz is known for its full-body, circuit-style workout that utilizes boxing inspired exercises designed specifically for women. The location will open in late 2020.

The deal comes upon the heels of a successful 2019 with new locations and signed agreements in Utah, Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida and Maryland. The Scottsdale, Arizona based brand is growing through franchising in key markets across the United States and is looking forward to bringing a location to Columbia.

Mashel Wakil is spearheading the new opening and will manage operations. Prior to diving into the world of business ownership, Mashel spent 10 years in finance. With Mashel’s experience and passion for fitness and healthy living, she is looking forward to introducing Jabz Boxing to women in Columbia.

“’I’ve always wanted to be my own boss, and having all girls in the family and encouraging them to stay fit really helped drive my decision to bring Jabz Boxing to my community,” said Mashel Wakil. “We don’t have anything like Jabz in our area, and I’m thrilled to help empower our diverse community of women through fitness and provide a space where they can feel comfortable and confident. I’m excited to open my first location in the months ahead.”

Committed to cultivating a fitness community of empowerment for women, Jabz Boxing offers intense, boxing-inspired full-body workouts to help clients achieve their fitness goals. The results-driven workouts and a strong sense of community resonate with women of all ages and fitness levels. Jabz classes are kept small to encourage an individual and positive workout experience. All classes are led by dedicated, certified instructors who offer one-on-one support for all members.

“We are excited to expand our presence on the East Coast with Mashel,” said Kimberlee White, CEO and co-founder of Jabz Boxing. “With her passion to empower women in her community, we have no doubt in her ability to support and inspire members and spread the Jabz message.”

The concept began franchising in 2013 and grew to nearly 20 Arizona locations before deciding to expand nationally in 2019. Since the end of last year, they have opened locations in Voorhees, New Jersey and Ridley Park, Pennsylvania, and have recently signed agreements to open in Aston and Havertown, Pennsylvania; Talleyville, Delaware; and Bel Air, Maryland. Jabz Boxing plans to increase its nationwide footprint by entering key markets such as Denver, Dallas/Fort Worth and Las Vegas, where it will provide women with an empowering community and energetic workout experience.

As the women’s boxing-for-fitness concept continues to rapidly expand into key markets across the United States, Jabz Boxing is actively seeking qualified franchisees who are passionate about fitness and entrepreneurship to join its system and bring the Jabz culture of female empowerment to their local communities.
