[0:59] Josh introduces today’s guest, Kimberlee White, the co-founder and CEO of JabzBoxing.

[1:55] Josh welcomes Kim to Franchise Euphoria.

[2:27] Kim shares her journey with Jabz Boxing and how the franchise came to be.

[4:23] Being a woman who enjoyed boxing, Kim and her cofounder found that there was the need for a space for women only to have an athletic outlet where they felt empowered which led to the creation of the Jabz concept.

[6:42] When the first Jabz studio opened in 2012, they weren’t certain what the future of the company looked like, and franchising especially wasn’t on their radar at all. But news about the business quickly spread, and they moved into their first retail location.

[9:06] They decided to start franchising Jabz when repeat customers who had to travel from afar to go to their location began asking them about being able to open their own location in their own community. The first 10 franchisees of Jabz were previous customers.

[10:24] The Jabz mentality is “fitness, not fighting,” and their facility is made up of sixteen different stations that make up a circuit which changes every day.

[12:07] About 70% of the Jabz revenue comes from clients on autopay programs, but they do offer punch pass options as well.

[12:46] Josh notes that creating a franchise is a lot more than just getting together your franchise disclosure documents.

[14:07] Currently Jabz Boxing has 20 franchised and 4 corporate locations. The bulk of them are located in Arizona with a couple on the east coast.

[17:15] The ideal Jabz franchisee is not necessarily an expert in fitness but is certainly passionate about helping people. They are specifically looking for franchisees who want to be an owner-operator.

[19:26] Kim would encourage young franchisors to be very selective about who they choose as their franchisees since they are the future of the business.

Started listening to Josh's podcast after the wife and I decided to buy a franchise and I quickly went through about 200 episodes on 1.5x & 2x, before signing on to purchase a franchise. Josh's info was an invaluable part of our decision to buy, and after listening to so many episodes, I felt like I knew and trusted him on a personal level, so it was a no-brainer to enlist his services when it came time to review the franchise agreement. Josh was super easy to talk to and very empathetic to our needs, and being first time business owners, we needed all the empathy we could get. Josh helped us negotiate a great deal with the franchisor and we were very happy with his services. Great podcast, great guy, great service to anyone involved in the franchise world!
