Getting into shape at TITLE Boxing in Westlake: Fitness Friday

'The body will go where the mind will take it. So, we really start with the soul and the mind and then we take the body from there.'

WESTLAKE, Ohio — Is your New Year resolution to lose weight and get in better shape for 2023?

You're not alone.

But where do you even begin?

As we launch our Fitness Friday series, 3News' Austin Love takes us to TITLE Boxing in Westlake to explore how their program can help your exercise plans.

“A fun, fast, effective workout," RJ Hickey of TITLE Boxing says of their experience. "You know that boxing is one of the most effective things to do for the body.”

Hickey said it's also a good way to relieve some stress.

“We’ve all got things going on in life, the heavy bag is a great place to put it," he says. "The body, change, transformation, sweating, breathing, having fun, learning the discipline, having a good time and being around good people.”

When it comes to the classes offered at TITLE Boxing, Hickey says they work to provide "structure and direction."

“When you come in you should think of the heavy bag," he explains. "We want to mimic a fighter’s routine and training.”

It's a workout that Hickey says gets the entire body involved.

“The body will go where the mind will take it. So, we really start with the soul and the mind and then we take the body from there.”
