From
the guys who started 24-Hour Fitness:
A new chain of gyms is emerging...
This is pulling power: Take the
world's top mixed martial arts icon, The Ultimate Fighting Championship,
blend it with the Ultimate Fitness Center, and you get the UFC
Gym. It's a dynamic, high energy, MMA and fitness training center
that will redefine the way you get results! UFC Gyms will feature
group class programming, personal training, private MMA training,
a UFC Kid's Gym, and a large selection of premier cross-training
fitness equipment, which includes the Marpo Kinetics V-Series
Rope Climbers. They're pulling in new members
in record numbers.

Jim
Rowley, chief executive of NEFC, wants the UFC Gyms to be a
place people come to enjoy themselves, and not just break a
sweat. "I'm as guilty as anyone of building these sterile
gyms where everything is push, pull, and treadmills," Rowley
said. "That is boring. We want to change a person's idea
of what working out is all about."
Those
who want a traditional workout will find much of the same equipment
found in other gyms. But there will be unique workout twists
as well. Tire flipping, rope pulling, climbing ladders and peg
boards to name a few.

"We
love the V-Series Rope Climbers. They provide a new, exciting
kind of training for strength AND cardio. Our members are looking
for something new, versatile, and most importantly, effective.
These machines seem to be exactly what they're looking for and
they're a perfect fit for the UFC Gym. Rock on Marpo."

Gallup, UFC Gyms VP of Fitness
