Founding Backstory
My love for boxing began in 2022 - but not in a ring, and not for sport. It started during one of the hardest seasons of my life, when I was fighting daily battles with fibromyalgia and small fiber neuropathy. I could squeeze in a jog or workout on a good day, but the price was steep: days of pain, migraines, and feeling trapped in a body that refused to keep up.
One day, I stumbled across an article that mentioned non-contact boxing as a possible way to manage symptoms. I figured, why not?
On a good day, I took a chance on a cardio boxing class, and to my shock (and my family’s), not only did I make it through…I felt energized. No crash. No flare-up. Just fire.
That class changed my life. Boxing gave my body back. Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. I was finally able to move, to play with my girls, to show up for life in ways I thought were behind me.
That’s why I created M Box Fitness — a boxing fitness experience designed for all kinds of mamas: moms, muscle mamas, fur baby mamas, and the mamacitas. M Box isn’t just about mitts and movement; it’s about reclaiming your power, building real confidence, and creating community in the process. Modified boxing for the modern woman.
