One of the fastest growing sports organizations in history, Ultimate Fighting Championship and their partnership with UFC® Gyms™, has discovered a new style of exercise that puts UFC® Gyms™ on the cutting edge of fitness and allows UFC® fighters to train as professional athletes should. Born from the ranks of the elite US Navy SEALS, TRX® Suspension Training® has been adopted by such stars as Georges St-Pierre, Forrest Griffin and Brandon Vera.
UFC events have stemmed a subculture, a lifestyle where sharp minds and healthy lifestyles are paramount. UFC-fighter-training techniques have become a mainstream fitness alternative and a breath of fresh air compared to conventional fitness methods. This is underscored by a recent launch of the UFC Gym — a place where UFC fans of every age and gender can get a dynamic, high-energy experience that fuses the worlds of MMA and fitness.
“The UFC and Fitness Anywhere share a mission to make elite training methods accessible to not only elite athletes, but also mainstream consumers of every fitness level,” said Randy Hetrick, the founder and president of Fitness Anywhere, Inc. “UFC GYM members want to use the same training tools and modalities as the UFC’s top fighters, so it made perfect sense that the TRX would be an integral part of the UFC Gym experience, just as it has become an integral component within the training regiment’s of the UFC’s most popular and successful fighters.”
“It’s not every day you come across a tool born in the Navy SEALS and proven tried and true by top UFC fighters,” said Adam Sedlack, the senior vice president of UFC Gyms. “TRX classes are offered now in our Concord, Cal. Location and will be available in our second gym opening this summer in the L.A. market. Our members are looking to us for a truly cutting-edge training experience, and Suspension Training with the TRX will go far in our ability to meet and exceed these expectations.”
