Leading boxing franchise UBX is helping franchisees supercharge their business performance, and has appointed a team of high-performance coaching professionals to deliver results.
A high-performance coach works to maximise an individual or team’s potential, so they can achieve outstanding results in a chosen area such as sports, business, or personal development. These expert professionals serve as mentor, motivator, and accountability partner. They can help clients develop effective strategies to overcome challenges and maintain focus and commitment to their goals.
The carefully selected coaches aligned to UBX are working with the executive team and franchisees to provide guidance, strategies, and support to help the network achieve peak performance across all facets of their business.
Tim West, co-founder of the boxing business, says “Our mission is to make owning a UBX franchise a highly enjoyable, and rewarding experience, and we believe this exciting addition to the team supports that.”
The UBX team of experts
James Laughlin, head of high performance
Star podcast host, high-performance professional and leadership coach James is the latest addition to the UBX coaching team.
James’ mission is to ensure a continued focus on striving for excellence. He has created a robust framework that has helped high-powered CEOs and leaders embrace world-class standards.
James shares techniques and leadership perspectives on the highly-regarded Lead On Purpose podcast where he interviews former heads of state, fortune 100 CEOs, high performers and thought leaders.
His goal is to ensure a continued focus on striving for excellence across all areas of the UBX business. Under James’ direction the leadership and high-performance team at UBX will deliver monthly coaching sessions to franchisees, strategic frameworks for professional development and a new perspective on what it means for UBX franchisees to be leaders in their own community.
Danny Green, four times World Champion Boxer and the co-founder of UBX
“I got involved in UBX because I wanted to bring to the people a unique concept in the fitness industry, something new that uses one of the oldest sports around, boxing,” Danny explains.
“It is such a unique sport that everyone loves to do, but they don’t want to get hit, they don’t want the damage, so UBX gives them that ability to come and train like a boxer.
“I want to make training the way I know best more attainable for the general public so that they can become healthier and fitter versions of themselves.”
Of course with his experience and expertise, Danny heads up everything boxing related – from exercise combinations in the gym through to best practice coaching for instructors.
Brad Harrington, UBX head of strength and conditioning
Brad’s wealth of experience in professional sports makes him the ideal choice to share his insights into elite performance.
He has worked with Leinster Rugby Scarlets Rugby and the Waratahs, and has guided the Wallabies through two World Cup campaigns.
“For the last 20 years I have been privileged to have worked in professional sport. Elite sport is an extremely competitive and challenging environment. To perform optimally for a consistent period of time requires discipline, strategy, resilience, drive and a growth mindset.
“My experience working with elite performers has helped me expand and refine a unique and diverse skillset,” says Brad.
Skills include building teams and relationships, developing strategic performance plans, engaging with a variety of stakeholders and cross functional departments, and designing and implementing athletic performance plans.
Brad says nurturing high performance continues to be a rewarding experience.
“I am extremely grateful to have had a front row seat to observe the behaviours, habits and mindset that are critical for success, and common in high performers,” he says.
Now he is leveraging these skills to guide the UBX team on how to provide the best possible workout experience for the members, one that first and foremost focuses on helping our members get amazing results.
A winning combination
The Aussie-born UBX business has punched above its weight since starting out with the goal of establishing 10 clubs.
Now it is operating across Australia, Ireland, Japan, Singapore, the UK and US, and ambitious business owners are spotting the opportunities to grow with the brand.
Tim West says the company’s focus on high achievement pays off for its franchisees.
“We understand that expert guidance is paramount in navigating the competitive business world. That is why we have assembled a team of experts who join our already established and experienced head office team,” he says.
“With the combined expertise you can confidently establish and grow a thriving UBX location. You know there is a premium placed on high performance, not just for you as a franchisee, but also for your members.”
