UFC GYM® Announces Three New Gym Openings in the Greater Chicago Area

CHICAGO – UFC GYM®, the rapidly expanding fitness franchise that creates training programs for all levels inspired by the training regimens of UFC® athletes, today announced the expansion of its footprint with three new gym locations in the Greater Chicago area. The new franchises, located in Naperville, Downers Grove and Yorktown Center, build on UFC GYM’s already strong presence in the metro area, bringing its total number of facilities in the market to nine.

“As we continue to grow UFC GYM throughout the country and around the world, Chicago has remained a strong market for us,” UFC GYM President Adam Sedlack said. “These new gyms help us meet growing demand and reach new members of all ages in the greater Chicago area with our Train Different® approach to fitness. We couldn’t ask for better partners or better locations.”  

UFC GYM programming has been developed through exclusive access to the world-class training of internationally-acclaimed UFC athletes. Providing members with everything they need for the entire family to move, get fit and live a healthy life, UFC GYM offers best-in-class coaches and classes. The full-concept gyms combine a range of weights, machines and functional fitness classes, along with group, private and youth MMA training, in addition to personal and group dynamic performance-based training.
