“We’re witnessing a powerful shift, as more and more people are drawn to our ‘Train Different’ philosophy,” said Adam Sedlack, the CEO of UFC GYM, in a statement. “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.”
Expanding into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
In addition to its global expansion, UFC GYM is launching state-of-the-art Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) studios, each spanning nearly 2,500 square feet. This new franchise model integrates one of mixed martial arts’ most popular disciplines with UFC GYM’s programming, making BJJ more accessible to a broader fitness community.
Designed to provide a full-body workout while building mental resilience, BJJ helps practitioners develop discipline and confidence both on and off the mat. These cutting-edge studios will create new opportunities for passionate coaches and franchisees, allowing them to capitalize on the rapid growth of BJJ as a fitness trend while maintaining a competitive edge. With UFC GYM locations now ranging from 2,000 to over 50,000 square feet, the brand continues to offer flexible, high-performance training environments tailored to its members’ diverse needs.
Innovative Partnership with Alta Global Group
UFC GYM has also entered into an exclusive partnership with Alta Global Group, a pioneering technology company transforming martial arts and combat sports training. This collaboration will integrate Alta’s cutting-edge products into UFC GYM locations worldwide, enhancing the member experience and reinforcing the brand’s commitment to innovation.
As part of the partnership, UFC GYM will introduce the Alta Warrior Training Program, an intensive 20-week regimen designed to provide members with the opportunity to train like UFC athletes. The program combines elite MMA and fitness training, culminating in a fully sanctioned amateur MMA bout — an unparalleled challenge for participants seeking a high-level athletic experience.
A New Era
With its continued expansion and diverse programming, combined with expert coaching and world-class fitness competitions, UFC GYM’s leadership is excited for the future.
“We see everyone, from those who want to engage in our empowering classes to elite athletes, training at the highest level,” said Sedlack, in a statement. “Our gyms are equipped with state-of-the-art amenities and host some of the world’s best coaches and fitness competitions.”
As UFC GYM continues its rapid global expansion, franchise opportunities are available for entrepreneurs looking to join a world-renowned fitness brand.
