StrikeCoach – An Innovative Way to Train

Posted on December 28, 2024 by Heather

Jason Eller is the founder of StrikeCoach and he had a vision that started out like so many game changing innovations. The idea of StrikeCoach was birthed from a few simple questions. Jason Eller who was a certified personal trainer and boxing coach at the YMCA at the time was training a client on the heavy bag who asked, “If this bag were a person where would I be hitting them, and how hard would I be striking them?” It was a true light bulb moment. After training a few more clients Jason went home and immediately drew some informal drawings visually describing the idea that is now StrikeCoach, a training mannequin that combines footwork and force detection, creating an unparalleled interactive data driven full body cardiovascular workout.

Exclusive Feature: Gwen Legge – Boxing Manager, Sports Apparel Designer

Posted on November 1, 2024 by Heather

Introduction

Gwen Legge was born on January 30th and raised in Long Island, New York. Starting from a young age, she had a passion for boxing. Her life journey took her from a career in combat sports apparel, to becoming a successful boxing manager.

Currently, Gwen owns a boxing and an MMA management company. She still partakes in her enjoyment of crafting stellar sports apparel for her brand, Eruption boxing. Yet, she currently only does this for the fighters she manages. This shows her love that she has for the combat sports industry and the great craftsmanship she has in apparel creation. Providing quality products and top-notch customer service has always been important to Gwen. 

The reason that Mrs. Legge is so passionate about the boxing industry and other combat sports, goes back to the good old days. This is when she would hangout with her grandfather frequently. From what I understand, her and her grandpa had a special bond, especially when it came to watching sports. Gwen told me that her “grandfather was into every sport on the planet”. They would watch boxing especially fighters such as they’re favorite, which was Muhammad Ali, as well as Sugar Ray Leonard, Hagler, and others. Gwen Legge obviously loves being a boxing manager. I asked her if she foresees herself ever retiring. She said, that she will always be doing what she does now.
