UFC GYM® and UFC FIT® are introducing fitness purpose that goes beyond the normal gym membership
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Jan. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — UFC GYM®, the first major brand extension of UFC®, celebrated a milestone year in 2022 by surpassing expectations on its domestic and international growth. Building on its momentum as one of the largest and fastest-growing operators and franchisors of premium fitness facilities, UFC GYM®’s development of more than 1,000 locations in 40 countries will play an integral role in the organization’s mission to provide a wholistic wellness approach to its unique global member community.
“Coming off of the physical and economic hurdles that have unraveled over the past few years, UFC GYM® and UFC FIT® are poised to make an impact on fitness enthusiasts worldwide with our dynamic TRAIN DIFFERENT approach and industry-leading programming that brings out the purpose in why members go to the gym,” said Adam Sedlack, CEO of UFC GYM®. “We are constantly focused on how we can make a difference in one’s life from a holistic perspective and how training with us can impact lives both in and out of the gym. Now more than ever before, it is about aligning with our customers to provide them with an arena where they can build the best version of themselves. We are not just a gym but rather an open community that allows members of any fitness level to achieve their lifelong physical and mental best. It is our enhanced class experiences developed through technology, and high caliber coaches that provide a training regimen that aligns with how MMA athletes prepare for a fight. We all have a personal fight to win, and through the appreciation of how a UFC athlete trains, we can create an experience that cannot be duplicated outside of our gyms.”
Furthering its rapid expansion and club development of the past year, UFC GYM® and UFC FIT® have 82 domestic locations and 65 international locations in development for 2023.

The brand’s TRAIN DIFFERENT® approach provides members with the ultimate fitness experience and programming that secures results for all ages and training levels. Each of the premium fitness facilities offer world-class fitness classes and programming, such as HIIT, Boxing Conditioning, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Zumba; and integrates and unites fitness technology, recovery, nutrition and workouts to ensure members have an experience that cannot be duplicated at any other facility. The company’s BOX.HIIT.LIVE platform offers access to MMA-inspired fitness virtually with live and video-on-demand classes inspired by the regimens of elite athletes.

MyZone allows members to track exact heart rates throughout a workout to measure performance and progress, while the connective technology allows for competitions within individual locations and across the globe. To further support the success of its communities, UFC GYM® has developed specialized pre- and post-workout Recovery treatments to offer a balanced approach to fitness and restore hard working bodies to their full potential.
