The Opportunity
A Better Opportunity

LA Boxing is at the forefront of the booming fitness industry with its unique focus on boxing, kickboxing and mixed martial arts, which is billed by top media and industry observers as the fastest-growing sport in the world.

In 2007, fitness industry revenues nationwide totaled $18.5 billion, and in January 2008, 41.5 million people in the United States belonged to a health club, according to the International Health Racquet & Sportsclub Association.

The franchise industry also is flourishing. In 2005, all types of franchised businesses provided 11 million jobs, met a $278.6 billion payroll and contributed $880.9 billion to the U.S. economy, an International Franchise Association study says. The association also lists health and sports as two of the fastest-growing franchise concepts from 2000 to 2006.

LA Boxing is no exception. In July 2008, the IHRSA ranked LA Boxing ninth among the top 25 fastest-growing fitness companies. From 2006 to 2007, LA Boxing expanded the number of its locations by 80%.

As a franchise owner, you will profit from LA Boxing’s fast-growing fitness concept based on the solid, centuries-long foundation of boxing, kickboxing and mixed martial arts.
