The UFC along with New Evolution Fitness Company (NEFC) has decided to give everyone of all ages a chance to train and fight like the UFC fighters you see in the Octagon. The cage just wont be a training ground for Liddell, Silvia and many other great UFC fighters, but children, moms, and dads can get in on the action now. The UFC and the NEFC have decided to expand their horizons to new grounds and get more involved in the community with this sport and train and teach people the art form that is UFC.
In doing so, they have come to the conclusion that the first ever UFC gym will be located in Concord, California. “We are excited to open our first UFC Gym, it’s going to have something for everyone in the family, from traditional mixed martial arts classes, to all-around fitness classes, personal training and a gym just for kids,” said Dana White, UFC President. This is big news for a lot of people out there who want to practice and learn the sport of UFC but never were able to get the chance. Also to add the gym Dana White says “We are going to redefine the fitness industry, and get everyone excited about fitness again, starting with the first UFC Gym in Concord, California.” Not only is the person at this new gym going to be learning MMA or traditional martial arts, but also a fitness standard as well.
Can Anyone Learn What The UFC Fighters Do?
When looking at what they have to offer, it shows that they can give a wide range of education and teaching to almost anyone who walks in the doors. They will have traditional martial arts classes, woman’s self defense classes, MMA classes, and even a UFC kids gym too. The UFC kids gym is a program for kids 14 and under to learn and study self defense as well as mixed martial arts. They will be learning this sport from a young age and maybe be the future stars of the octagon. They have everything from resistance training, to cardio workouts, to dynamic training and the famous octagon training too.

Not only does the the UFC gym have classes, they have weight’s/free weight systems and cardio machines that are all up to date machines that give you the best workout for what you are looking for. Heck even to top that they have a store inside the gym were you can buy gear, videos and apparel as well as a nutritional shop called the “Arm Bar” in which a person can refuel and get snacks that are healthy and nutritional for the fighter that is all inside the gym.
More Gyms for the Future
The UFC has also said that they will not stop here, but continue to grow and expand this concept to more places around the United States and globally. They are now looking to add a gym to the hometowns of Montreal(St. Pierre) and Hawaii (B.J. Penn). The UFC has set up contracts with them both to set up a gym in their hometowns to get their communities fired up about working out and learning a new sport.
I am glad to see that the UFC has finally stepped up and brought UFC even more closer to the community and open up gyms were everyone can practice with UFC fighters. Not only well MMA fighters be able to get the chance to practice and compete in this sport but anyone now will get the chance to get in good shape and learn some good self-defense at the same time. I am very eager to see the results of this gym opening and see what the community will respond to when the doors first open in Concord. Make sure you have martial arts gear to help you train.
The location of the first ever UFC gym is: The Willows Shopping Center, 1975 Diamond Blvd in Concord, CA 94520.
