Fitness companies and experts have changed massively over the years. Nowadays, they don’t just focus on their client’s physical well-being. They look into other life aspects like their mental and spiritual health. At least such is the case with Jonathon Bolden, owner, and founder of JAB Kickboxing, who seeks to inspire people to stay fit and persistent in health and other areas.
Jonathon Bolden is an entrepreneur and fitness expert who runs and owns JAB Kickboxing, a kickboxing gym for all fitness levels in Hixson. Jonathan started his business back on March 25, 2019, owing much of the strength and inspiration to start his business to God. “I was working at a gym as a trainer that was closing down in four weeks,” he recalls. “I wasn’t sure what to do. I was praying and decided to talk to my boss. I told him my plans about owning a gym because that has been a dream of mine since I was sixteen.”
After the decision to close down the gym he was working in, Jonathon’s boss offered to give him all the equipment from the facility if he opened up his own gym. But the budding fitness entrepreneur would have to act fast as he had a whole set of equipment and a handful of clients who wanted to work with him.
In around two and a half months, Jonathon would open his gym and make his dreams come true. Now a gym owner in his own right, Bolden would realize that starting the business would only be the beginning. The journey has been far from easy for the business owner, but he’s chosen to move forward and persevere. Accordingly, he embeds those principles in the classes he teaches at his gym.
One of the hallmarks of JAB Kickboxing is a focus on the client. “I’ve seen where most people struggled with a gym or working out and don’t get the results they want,” shares Jonathon. “So I based my gym around those problems.” The trainers at JAB Kickboxing try to mix up workouts as often as possible to ensure that their regimens are also fun and exciting.
Jonathon Bolden knows what it’s like to struggle with poor health. Growing up, he was overweight, causing him to question his worth and capacity. Later, the fitness expert realized how essential health is to live a full life and decided to slim up and get into sports. He has run over 60 OCR races and competed in higher-level competitions yearly. Jonathon has also dedicated the last seven years of his life to improving people through fitness and mindset courses. Half of that time has been through JAB Kickboxing.
Beyond all else, Jonathon Bolden is passionate about helping people grow and become the best they can be by giving them guidance and accountability. He returns much of the honor back to God as he admits his faith has been foundational to his success. Jonathon hopes his story will inspire others to better themselves and believe they can have more out of life. “It seems hard and maybe a little scary to take that first step to improve your health, but putting in the work will make your life better for the rest of your life,” he adds.
