Striving for the Best Direction
Learning to pick ourselves up after mistakes and setbacks in life is what makes our stories great. As the owner and operator of South Beach Boxing, Jolie Glassman has navigated her own share of challenges to push through limits and achieve her goals.
Named Personal Fitness Professional of the Year in 2020, Glassman integrates her educational background, certifications, and life experience into personal and professional consulting, helping guide others to confront self-limiting beliefs and create meaningful transformation.
In every interaction, Glassman works to make a positive impact on the people around her. Dedicated to continuous learning, she leads by example and encourages everyone who walks through the gym doors to step into their own strength. By helping people establish clear action plans and holding them accountable, she provides the structure and momentum they need to build the lives they want.
A Foundation in Education and Outreach
Nearly 30 years ago, Glassman began her career as an educator through a full scholarship program, For Our Children in Urban Settings (F.O.C.U.S.) at Florida International University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in education while simultaneously completing a master’s degree in behavior modification.
After spending a year backpacking around the world, Glassman returned to teach students in the inner cities of Dade County. Soon after, she began teaching in lockdown facilities, detention centers, prisons, and other outreach centers. Across every setting, Glassman brought a passion for teaching and making a lasting difference in people’s lives.
Building South Beach Boxing
While coaching fitness classes after school, Glassman’s lifelong love for athletics sparked a desire to build a supportive community for personal growth. Opening South Beach Boxing in 1998, originally known as South Florida Boxing, allowed her to combine all of her passions into one business focused on helping members thrive.
Emphasizing that you do not have to be a boxer to train like one, she promotes fitness to help reduce the health risks associated with inactive lifestyles. Her business philosophy centers on teaching teams that teach others, multiplying that positive impact throughout the community.
Jolie’s Kids and Youth Fitness
Glassman’s commitment to community impact extends to youth programs. In 2010, she launched Jolie’s Kids, an anti-bullying and youth fitness program. For every paying participant, a child who cannot afford the program can audition to receive a full scholarship. Teens are encouraged to join specialized boxing classes as a safe, constructive, and supervised outlet.
Jolie Glassman noted, “When children are encouraged to fight in a controlled environment, they choose not to fight on the streets. Boxing and boxing workouts make kids strong, fit, confident, humble, disciplined, focused, and so much more.” She also works with parents and teens to strengthen family relationships through life coaching and shared fitness routines.
Coaching and Life Transformation
Glassman has also trained with Landmark Education and completed extensive Neuro-Linguistic Programming coursework, earning her NLP Master Practitioner license from the Association of Integrative Psychology in 2017 and from Richard Bandler in 2018.
A Certified Professional Life Coach, Glassman created the coaching company Revamp Your Life, leading seminars and workshops focused on mindset, physical fitness, and emotional wellness. Living by Jim Rohn’s motto, “work harder on yourself than you do on your job and life becomes easier,” she focuses on meeting people where they are, building genuine rapport, and helping gym members and clients achieve real momentum in their lives.
