DUBLIN – On Feb. 7, the Dublin area will get a new kind of health and wellness experience.
Black Belt Pro Fitness will be expanding out of Mansfield/Ontario and adding a second location in Dublin. The new facility, located at 6100 Sawmill Rd, will offer martial arts classes for children and adults.
Black Belt Pro Fitness spends time helping students engender good habits around planning for good health.
“Our company’s dynamic and the way it is set up gives our students a variety of things to choose from,” said David Mason, Manager of the Black Belt Pro Fitness Dublin site. “Martial arts is really big, especially for kids, in terms of bullying, self-discipline and activity. And it’s great for adults who are looking for something new that promotes a healthy mind and wellness. So whether people want to gain muscle, lose fat or do more cardio rather than martial arts, we have a great combination here at Black Belt.”
The facility offers a one-of-a-kind experience with a 10k structure. When children partake in classes, parents can watch from the exclusive parent lobby. The lobby includes comfortable couches, tables and Wi-Fi connectivity. There are four televisions, three of which correspond to a mat, so parents can pull up the Black Belt Pro Fitness app on their phone, and they can put earbuds in and watch their kid on the mat participate in their martial arts training.
“In the martial arts world, if you were to go into a studio or a facility, there’s a mat and then there are benches or chairs next to the mat, and parents sit and watch. It can be distracting for the kids,” said Chris Hershberger, Founder and CEO of Black Belt Pro Fitness. “So we took those things into consideration and tried to build something that was more inviting to the mainstream because it is a niche activity.”
Whether you are a parent of a young child, a senior citizen or anything in between — Black Belt’s martial arts programming puts you on a path of fun self-improvement, transformation and allows you to experience a multitude of physical and mental benefits.
Enrolling at Black Belt Pro Fitness will give students access to classes such as Taekwondo, Karate/Judo/Jiu-Jitsu, Self-Defense and Women’s Self-Defense. Additionally, monthly fitness memberships give anyone ages 15 and up access to a variety of group fitness classes, including TaeBoxing which is a mix of striking, cardio and body weight exercises.
“Sedentary living is what brings on disease and all the issues that we have with our health. So what we try to do from a transformative standpoint is offer movement,” Hershberger said.
“Whether you are there for the martial arts, the fitness or the sports performance, if you stay consistent with the training and give it time, you’ll end up being a better version of yourself at Black Belt Pro Fitness no matter what your goal is,” Mason said.
