BALAZS BOXING PRESS RELEASE

Allentown, PA, March 20, 2002: Turn any room into a boxing studio with the flip of a switch! As the popularity of boxing and kickboxing exercising continues to increase, club owners are challenged to create enough space for classes and personal training. Health clubs recognize that boxing workouts are an important part of fitness today, however, dedicating even a portion of a room to boxing can be difficult for many facilities. Balazs Boxing has engineered a simple solution to this problem—the overhead Track System for heavy bags.

Facilities without dedicated boxing areas often choose to temporarily hang heavy bags in multipurpose rooms. But hanging and removing heavy bags, which often weigh 100-pounds or more, as needed for classes and individual training, is time consuming and potentially dangerous.

The Balazs Track System eliminates the need to manually hang and remove heavy bags. The system consists of a ceiling-mounted track and moveable trolleys that hold the bags. A centrally located switch operates a locking mechanism in each trolley that either locks the trolley in position, or allows it to move freely along the track. The tracks can extend into a closet or remote area of a room where the bags are stored when not in use, thereby freeing up the room for other activities. The simple system and easy-to-move trolleys make converting the boxing room a quick and easy task for even the most petite fitness instructor.

The layout of the Balazs Track System can be individually customized to meet each facility's preferences and structural requirements. In addition, all trolleys feature Balazs' patented Heavy Hanging System (H₂S), which reduces the noise, vibration, and jarring that cause excess wear and tear on heavy bags.

The Balazs Track System is ideal for anyone who needs to move a punching bag on a regular basis—from clubs with group classes using 15 or more bags to personal training studios working with a single client. Now, the same room can easily be used for aerobics, yoga and kickboxing classes.

Balazs sells its top-of-the-line boxing gear to individuals, health clubs and retailers.
