The Alta Warrior Training Program provides an unparalleled opportunity for members to train like UFC athletes, combining the world's best in MMA and fitness in a fresh and innovative way to train and get fit. The curated 20-week regimen culminates in an exhilarating, fully sanctioned amateur MMA bout, an unparalleled 'bucket list' experience.
UFC GYM continues to redefine what it means to be more than just a gym - it's an experience that empowers and inspires. This rapid international growth reflects the increasing demand for UFC GYM and a shift in the fitness industry, where members seek more than just traditional gym amenities.
'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,' said Sedlack. 'Our gyms are equipped with state-of-the-art amenities and host some of the world's best coaches and fitness competitions.'
For those inspired by UFC GYM's growth and vision, opportunities to become a part of the brand through ownership are also available.
