(APR 12) WBAN would like to congratulate STRIKING BEAUTIES, the original 24/7 boxing gym for women, that is approaching their first year in business. Dena Paolino, President of the company, told WBAN, "we are doing great! With over 200 members, STRIKING BEAUTIES is teaching moms, teenagers, lawyers and bus drivers how to train like a real boxer! And our team of amateur fighters is growing daily...especially as the moms and lawyers and bus drivers realize they want to take their training to the next level!"

"At this time, we also have studio space in Providence , RI and are looking to open 3 more gyms within the upcoming year. We are so fortunate to have thrived during this tumultuous economic time and more importantly, we are so thrilled to be part of exposing boxing to women who never would have had the opportunity to experience it. As more women realize the physical and mental benefits of boxing, they are realizing potentials that they never dreamed of reaching!" added Paolino.
