"UBX ticked all the boxes for me"

When the UBX model was proposed to me, it ticked all the boxes. It operated in the health and fitness industry, it had a lower capital outlay than a standard gym format, and it was a well-established franchise concept with a new twist to it. It was everything I was looking for.

I looked very carefully at the UBX model. I'm actually not a boxing person, but I do appreciate that it’s a huge market. The thing that kept coming back to me was the low membership numbers required to make the business successful and the simplicity of the model.

Lawrence Bingham, Owner UBX Bath

AN EXPERT TEAM IN YOUR CORNER FROM DAY ONE

At every stage of your business journey, you will be supported by a team of experts who have years of combined experience in all of the key areas required for business success, including fitness, sales, marketing, operations, and technology.

At the same time, you’ll benefit from being part of a supportive and collaborative network of passionate, driven, and like-minded franchisees that believe in the product and who work together to solve problems, share ideas, and keep motivated.

UBX Franchise

FITNESS REINVENTED

UBX Training was created to provide an unparalleled experience for members, by creating an environment that felt like playing team sports, was based on scientific principles, and focused on standing out in the market.

By focusing on the three main pillars of convenience, enjoyment, and results, you can be confident that by joining UBX Training as a franchisee, you will have a product that delivers what customers are looking for and is clearly differentiated from the competition.

  • Convenience: Our No Fixed Class Times model allows our members to train on their schedule
  • Enjoyment: Skill-based training, as seen in boxing clubs the world over, is proven to retain members for longer compared to standard exercise routines
  • Results: When members achieve results, it fulfils the value of their membership and generates greater loyalty to the program

"I just think boxing-based fitness is such a big thing at the moment"

"I had looked at numerous opportunities, including both traditional gym and other boutique fitness franchises. I received information on UBX and carried out a lot of research into the concept.

Boxing-based fitness is such a big thing at the moment. I identified the benefit of a model that means people aren't restricted by timetables; you just turn up; the trainers are there, and you get one-on-one time with the trainer every time you go in. For me, that was what made it really stand out from all the other opportunities.

I am excited to be one of the first in the UK to get involved with UBX. I’m looking forward to helping to make it a big success and to start building the brand here in the UK in the same way it’s been built in Australia and New Zealand."

Neil Rushby, Owner UBX Sheffield
