UFC Gym To Open 45+ Locations Worldwide
UFC Gym is on track to open its 200th gym this year
UFC Gym, an official extension of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, is opening more than 45 locations this year across the globe and will soon introduce its Brazilian Jiu-jitsu (BJJ) studios, a new franchise concept combining the full-body workout and mental fortitude training of BJJ with its signature UFC Gym programming.
The expansion sees UFC Gym entering Pakistan and Indonesia, as well as Israel, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Germany, the UAE, Morocco, India, Kazakhstan and Russia.
“We’re witnessing a powerful shift, as more and more people are drawn to our ‘Train Different’ philosophy,” UFC Gym CEO Adam Sedlack said. “Our facilities are not just places to work out – they’re transformative spaces where individuals challenge their limits, build their confidence and reinvent their approach to health and fitness. Every day, we hear inspiring stories from our incredible members whose lives have been impacted by UFC Gym, both physically and mentally. Our mission is clear: to inspire people to become the best versions of themselves, pushing past barriers and realizing their full potential.”
The fitness and mixed martial arts (MMA) franchise also recently partnered with tech company Alta Global Group for a 20-week Alta Warrior Training program where members can hone their skills as they prepare for a fully sanctioned MMA amateur bout upon completion.
“We see everyone, from those that want to engage in our empowering classes like yoga, boxing, BJJ and full body recovery centers, all the way to some of the world’s best Zumba, cycle and boot camp formats in the industry,” Sedlack added. “Our gyms are equipped with state-of-the-art amenities and host some of the world’s best coaches and fitness competitions.”
UFC Gym also offers youth programs such as boxing, MMA, kickboxing, BJJ, wrestling and HIIT. Personal training is available, as are live and on-demand classes. As for its recovery options, select UFC Gym locations offer cryotherapy, NormaTec compression massage therapy and red light therapy. Some locations also offer VersaSpa spray tans.
A recently released market report from Straits Research revealed the surging popularity of mixed martial arts across the globe, spelling good news for equipment companies specializing in high-quality punching bags, training pads and gloves as the number of MMA gyms and training centers continues to grow.
