August 10, 2017 // Franchising.com // MIAMI, Fla. - UFC Gym®, the rapidly-expanding fitness franchise inspired by UFC athletes that combines mixed martial arts (MMA), functional fitness classes, and general fitness, announces today the grand opening celebration for UFC Gym®’s first signature location in Florida.

Rodriguez, who has excelled on the baseball playing field and is a three-time MLB American League MVP and Chief Executive Officer of A-Rod Corp, has now expanded his business portfolio to include the booming fitness industry.

The location offers Signature classes like Daily Ultimate Training® (DUT®), TRX, Muay Thai, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, kickboxing, boxing, mixed martial arts conditions, women’s self-defense and top of the line training equipment. Whether someone is looking to take a fun and challenging class or learn a new skill, UFC Gym® Kendall is a community where the entire family can come together to sweat, achieve goals and train differently.
