In 2012, Len Hayko Jr. and Kimberlee White decided to start a company. They wanted to create a boxing studio specifically customized to female clients. Len and Kimberlee were not fitness or health gurus. However, they knew that a good fitness studio geared towards women needs great workouts, awesome instructors, killer music, and a great environment.

Len and Kimberlee opened their first Jabz Boxing studio in Scottsdale, Arizona, in 2012. In 2014, the duo started franchising the company with the help of other fitness enthusiasts. It has since opened over one dozen franchises in the United States.
