Today we’d like to introduce you to Jamian Mason.
Jamian, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I got into the “Sweet Science” around 2008 while traveling on the fight scene between NYC, Las Vegas, Bay Area/LA. I was primarily providing nutrition support to many amateur fighters. During one of the gym sessions, I picked up some focus mitts to help a couple of fighters warm up. I immediately fell in love with mitt work, and added boxing to my workouts once I got back to Texas. Eventually I started doing mitt work with a few friends, and found that I had a knack for teaching basic boxing skills. Within the first session, I had each of them throwing various punching combos and utilizing basic footwork/defense. Fast forward to January 2019, when I acquired a beautiful property with a pool/jacuzzi in the Dallas, TX area. It hit me that it’s the perfect place for a private boxing gym and aquatic workouts. And so, J-Rocks boxing was born!
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
The Boxing Life is all about overcoming struggles within yourself and your surrounding environment. Were there struggles. Yes primarily two. One, the lack of time due to my other businesses. And two, was lack of my own private boxing gym with an on-site pool. I remember a client asked if I could come train her at her local 24-Hour Fitness Gym. I said sure. I started to work her out and do mitt work, and other people saw it and stopped working out to watch us. Most people have never actually seen real mitt work done live, and have always wanted to try boxing. Anyway, apparently one of the members went to the gym manager and asked about signing up for my boxing class lol. So, the manager came to me and said “If you want to keep training boxing here, you have to work here for me”. I said no sir and walked out.
Please tell us about your business.
J-Rocks Boxing takes pride in being the only private boxing gym with an on-site heated pool/jacuzzi for aquatic workouts. In addition, our clients also enjoy weekly meal plans, mobile phone app, access to cryotherapy/deep tissue massages, and a variety of body contouring services to melt away fat. All this under one very unique and inviting location with feel of 90’s hip hop. All my clients burn 1000+ calories per hour session! I guarantee that you will never find the perfect combination like I have put together for my clients.
If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
I can honestly say not much. The timing for my gym was actually spot on in my life. It’s kind of just flowed with all the other fitness/beauty related businesses I own. The main differentiator with my facility is the aquatic fitness/aqua-boxing training. The fact that I was able to purchase a rental property that actually had a nice pool last year, worked out perfect. I like the fact I am a private boxing gym. I am growing and getting better every day as a boxing coach/mentor/motivator. And my clients seem to love the more one on one development type training.
