Makati to be home of first Philippine UFC GYM 

The first UFC GYM will open in Glorietta, Makati in 2017, as confirmed by UFC GYM Chief Executive Officer Brent Leffel after inking a 10-year pact with Fitspiration Philippines.

 

“We’re very excited to embark on this exclusive partnership to expand UFC GYM’s global footprint throughout the Philippines,” said Leffel. “Filipino fight fans understand our brand and partnering with Fitspiration PH is a perfect fit to help Manila’s fitness enthusiasts train different while working to achieve their individual fitness goals.”   

 

Through Fitspiration, UFC GYM is expected to open 30 locations throughout the Philippines. 

 

UFC GYMs will offer a full-range of functional fitness classes, group and private MMA training, group fitness, personal and group dynamic performance-based training, and MMA youth programming for aspiring mixed martial arts practitioners. 

 

Gym members will get to enjoy unlimited access to UFC’s world-famous octagon and signature classes, including Daily Ultimate Training, TRX, Muay Thai, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, kickboxing, boxing, mixed martial arts conditioning, and women’s self-defense.

 

Since its debut in 2009, UFC GYM has opened more than 135 locations throughout the world, including the United States, Australia, Canada, South America and the United Arab Emirates.

 

The rapid growth of MMA has led to 50 locations opening in the past two years while over 50 more gyms are expected to open in the next year. — DVM, GMA News
