Today we’d like to introduce you to Terry & Tanya Norris.

So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I am a personal Trainer. My Husband is a retired boxing legend. He has CTE, Parkinson and Pugilistic Dementia.

The workout was created to help raise funds for our Foundation, Final Fight ‘The Terrible Terry Norris Foundation”. I started the foundation to try and assist fighters in need of assistance…Some being homeless and broke once they retire due to the (undiagnosed/ignored issues mentioned above. We will also be funding an institute of Boxing & Dance for special needs and underprivileged kids.

I started dance and gymnastics at the age of 1 year old. I am a technically trained Ballerina (rusty from all the years off) I was a fitness competitor. I am also a Black belt. I NASM and ACSM certified for Personal Training. I also have my Masters in Exercise Phys.

My Husband is a 4x World Boxing Champion. Was the first boxer to ever address the UN on a very special day that he received an honor from Mohamed Ali. He was also the only fighter to hold the WBC title for 9 consecutive years, Last but not least, He made history in 1991 defending his Title against Sugar Ray. He defeated Sugar Ray.

Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The road has not bean easy. The most difficult is finding the right employees. People whom you can trust.

We are always here and we don’t mind at all. The other has been Yelp. Even though our reviews are amazing. We still tread lightly. We do also speak our minds as that’s just how it is in the boxing community. It is all about respect. Give and take. we have a lot of rules that most appreciate and some don’t. The ones who DO, I feel are successful in life, overall. The ones who don’t, are not…overall. Our program mimics the lifestyle and training of a real Pro-Boxer.
