s I mentioned in my letter to our readers, Sports & Fitness is booming in 2019 and is just going to continue to grow explosively. That said, I had the pleasure of interviewing Christina Peregrym, owner of Jabz Boxing located in North Phoenix, AZ, and the newest location now being built in Peoria, AZ. Her excitement was infectious, and her love for this “Boutique” style franchise was palatable. Her journey to ownership was not your typical one, but through determination and perseverance, she achieved her goal of owning a franchise. Proving once again, you can achieve whatever you put your mind to. Christina mentioned that being a wife and a mother is her top priority, but reaching her dream stayed well in focus. Christina had an exciting entrance to boxing fitness. It all started with a Groupon. Yes, that’s

correct, a Groupon! Christina was at a place in her life where personal fitness development took priority. Wanting to be strong and healthy was important to her. With a husband and two little ones, 11 months apart in age, she began seeking out something “different." That something different turned out to be Jabz Boxing Fitness For Women. With her Groupon purchase in hand, she entered the Jabz Boxing of Scottsdale, AZ and was smitten. Fast forward to today, Christina not only owns one Jabz Boxing franchise, but she has also now begun breaking ground on her second. She said what made everything work was to make sure she had a plan and followed it. Staying focused on every task at hand was the path to success for Christina. She attributes the majority of her success to the Jabz Boxing Franchise team.
