Conversations with the Inspiring Sarah Woon

Today we’d like to introduce you to Sarah Woon.

Sarah, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
Four years ago… after having two kids (16 months apart) I was looking for a place to workout. I randomly went on the internet and came across this boutique women-only boxing gym; Jabz Boxing Fitness for Women. I read about the workout and instantly knew that I would love it! At the time, I was living in N. Scottsdale, so I joined the Pinnacle Peak location. I was the first member to walk through their doors on Grand Opening Day and I was the first member to sign up. Since then, we have moved but I have still stayed with Jabz Boxing.

Now, fast forward a few years… I am the PR/Marketing Coordinator for Jabz Boxing Franchising LLC. and I am also a Jabz Boxing Certified Trainer and train at our corporate location on Scottsdale and Thunderbird.

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
I have always wanted to be a working mom with a career, but I was struggling with being able to divide my time. Jabz Boxing Fitness for Women has been perfect for me.

When I train at the studio, I get up at 4 am and work until 10:30 am. In that time, my husband is able to get the kids all ready for school and take them. After I am done working at the studio, I go to the corporate office and work until 3 pm. This gives me the chance to pick up the kids from school and then I have the rest of the afternoon/evening with the family.

I am very lucky because I have a very supportive husband and a flexible enough schedule that I am able to spend quality time with my family.

Please tell us more about your work, what you are currently focused on and most proud of.
I am the PR/Marketing Coordinator for Jabz Boxing Francising LLC.

I help oversee the day-to-day execution of marketing plans for Jabz Boxing. The specifics of the job can look really different depending on the setting. To list a few… field work, event materials, brochures, digital work, and social media sites.

Jabz Boxing is very proud of the community we have created. We pride ourselves on getting to know our client and learning about them. We want Jabz Boxing to be apart of every ladies fitness journey.

Who do you look up to? How have they inspired you?
– My Husband. My first date when I was 15 yrs old and has been my best friend ever since. He is a self driven entrepreneur who inspires me daily to be a better person. I couldn’t imagine sharing this life without him.

– My mom. She has always been a hard working business woman and has taught me to never give up on my goals.

– My boss Kimberlee White. Not only is she a hardworking businesswoman who truly cares about the brand; but she truly cares deeply about those that work for her. It is easy to love your job when you have a boss that believes in a healthy work/life balance.
