Dubai, UAE – UFC GYM’s Middle East footprint continues to grow with the recent launch of a new location in Ajman, representing the eighth facility to open in the UAE since the franchise first arrived in the country in 2016.

Located at City Centre Ajman Mall, the latest facility spans 1,665 square metres across two floors, boasting a fully equipped gym with top-end MATRIX Strength and Cardio machines, trainer-led classes in the MMA area which include Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ), Boxing, Kickboxing, Fight Fit, and MMA, and Group Exercise Classes in the studio which include Cycling, Zumba, Yoga, and Barbell Conditioning.

UFC GYM’s signature class, Daily Ultimate Training (DUT) is a High-Intensity Interval Training workout, which will each take place in the functional fitness area and be open to all ages and fitness levels, while ladies-only classes will run for women, by women in the exclusive Ladies Only Gym. A youth programme for children and young adults focusing on Boxing, BJJ, and DUT will also run regularly, with classes split across three respective age groups (4-7yo; 8-11yo; and 12-15yo) to ensure a safe and progressive environment.

One of the largest and fastest-growing operators and franchisees of premium fitness facilities, UFC GYM is now present in 168 locations across 33 countries worldwide. John Gearing, CEO and Operating Partner at UFC GYM Middle East is relishing further expansion plans amid an exciting time for the business.

“Opening up in Ajman is undoubtedly another significant milestone for UFC GYM Middle East,” Gearing, who has more than two decades’ worth of experience in the consumer market, said. “It’s a developing Emirate and has a large and youthful population with growing interest not only in the UFC but in healthy living.

“It is extremely exciting to be partners with UFC, the largest global MMA organisation in the world. UFC is a powerful brand and one I personally have been interested in since the get-go in the 1990s. We will continue to work with partners and investors to build the UFC GYM business in this region and beyond, and you can be sure our expansion plans don’t end here.”
