ABOUT UFC GYM FRANCHISE

Born from the relentless spirit of the Octagon, UFC GYM launched in 2009 as the first major brand extension of the UFC—bringing the intensity of elite MMA training to the world of fitness. What started as a single gym in Concord, California has since evolved into a global powerhouse, with 150+ locations across 40 countries and counting. As the original pioneer of MMA-inspired fitness, UFC GYM blends the proven disciplines of mixed martial arts with functional training, world-class coaching, and an inclusive community. From youth programs to professional athlete conditioning, UFC GYM delivers a transformational fitness experience for every level. With a bold franchise model, explosive brand recognition, and the backing of one of the most powerful names in sports, UFC GYM is more than a gym—it’s a movement.
