Express Train Fitness for Men was born out of a need to provide men with an alternative to the large "Social Gyms" that have become the norm in today's fitness industry. This gives them a place where they can feel comfortable and receive the guidance and support needed to achieve the goals they set for themselves with regard to health and fitness. Express Train Fitness for Men provides an atmosphere in which we promote good physical fitness habits along with nutritional guidance without the hard-sell environment of the other gyms. Our memberships provide for all the instruction and guidance at no extra charge to the client. Our main goals are to help our members reach and maintain their visions of health and fitness.

For the first time ever, qualified candidates can own a UFC GYM franchise. This is a ground-breaking opportunity to partner with the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Simply put, owning a UFC GYM is a chance to join the fastest growing, most successful fitness franchise and partner with the UFC. UFC GYM franchisees are backed by a solid management foundation, instant brand recognition and a successful boxing, kickboxing and MMA fitness franchise. UFC GYM is built on a partnership between the UFC, NeV and UG Franchise Operations (formerly LA Boxing Franchise Co.). This creates a solid three-pillar franchise with unlimited ability for global growth. UFC GYMs are currently open in the U.S. and Australia, with more than 170 locations open or sold in 25 states.
Most facilities feature a functional training area, Octagon or 1/2 Octagon, a bag area with 30 heavy bags, cutting-edge cardio and strength equipment, private training and retail - all areas of potential income for a UFC GYM franchisee.
We have multiple levels of opportunity for investment in UFC GYM with facilities ranging from 6,000-10,000 sq. ft.
