The Company reaches 90 sold units nationwide and Puerto Rico

Santa Ana, CA – Southern California-based LA BOXING Franchise Corporation continues its aggressive growth pace with the signing of one franchise per week, taking the organization to 90 units in 18 states and Puerto Rico.

LA BOXING Franchise Corporation,  a membership physical fitness company consisting of unique boxing, kickboxing and MMA training regimens, which utilize a system and products that are proprietary to LA Boxing, announced that it has signed exclusive franchise agreements for further expansion into Texas and Massachusetts.

As the most recognizable name in the cardio boxing, kickboxing and MMA gym industry, LA BOXING is attracting experienced, well capitalized, franchise entrepreneurs to continue the growth and expansion of the brand.

LA BOXING’s aggressive franchise development plan is to add another 100 locations by the end of 2008. The new locations will increase LA BOXING’s franchised locations in the U.S. from 90 to more than 200. Planning for new locations in large and small markets across the United States, LA BOXING’s expansion will occur both through multi-unit, area development franchise agreements and single location openings.

We are exceeding our growth projections for this year. Our efficient and supportive business model, coupled with the popularity of cardio boxing and the addition of experienced personnel is really fueling our growth," said Anthony Geisler, president. 

“With more than 40 million Americans holding gym memberships, and that number projected to increase to 50 million by 2010, investors can open their own LA BOXING franchise in virtually any U.S. market—urban, suburban and rural. And, while the exploding fitness market has ballooned to a nearly $16 billion industry, still more than 85 percent of the U.S. population has yet to join a gym – indicating the potential for further investment in the fitness segment,” Geisler added.

“There is little doubt that this is the right time to invest in an LA BOXING franchise. And, while the demand we are seeing from the franchise investment community is remarkable, we are very selective when it comes to granting an LA BOXING franchise. LA BOXING has always been about changing lives by helping people achieve their individual fitness potential,” said Carl Kosnar, Managing Partner of The Kosnar Group, franchise development consultants for LA BOXING Franchise Corporation.
