"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

Two Brand-New UBX Gyms to Open in Kingston and Islington

The boutique fitness franchise UBX continues to expand its footprint with two new franchised locations set to open in Kingston and Islington.

Both locations are being opened by existing business owners who have expanded their business portfolios to launch a business in the health and fitness sector through UBX.

Located in a newly developed scheme on City Road, UBX Islington is set to open in November, led by husband-and-wife team, Simon and Michelle. Expressing their excitement as the fit-out progresses, Simon shared:

"We are super excited for our UBX Islington adventure to begin. It has taken some time for the scheme at City Road to be built and completed. The complex is amazing and a perfect fit for the UBX offering."

Simon and Michelle have successfully operated a franchise in the childcare sector since 2015 and decided to branch out into the fitness space with UBX. Simon explains their choice:

"We wanted to find a business model with something different, something exciting, something new and UBX ticked all the boxes.

"The brand has been well received across the UK & Ireland and we are pleased to bring it to Islington." 

From Blueprint to Boutique Fitness Gym

UBX Kingston is scheduled to open its doors in October. The Kingston franchisee, an established entrepreneur in the construction and property maintenance sector, saw UBX as the ideal opportunity to broaden his business interests into the growing fitness industry.

Mark Pinner, CEO of Empowered Brands, the master franchisor for the UK and Ireland comments:

"It’s fantastic to see experienced business owners diversify into the fitness sector by choosing UBX Boxing + Strength.

"Beyond experienced entrepreneurs, we also have franchisees from a wide range of backgrounds including franchisees from other well-known franchise brands, franchisees who have exited their corporate careers to pursue their own business, and franchisees who work in sectors as diverse as, accountancy, the civil service and the government department for health.

"We have found that one of the reasons that franchisees are drawn to the fitness sector is because of the direct positive impact they can have on people's lives and the community. There's a feelgood factor that comes from seeing members achieve life-changing results in the facility that you have created for them."

UBX Kingston and Islington will become the 8th and 9th UBX gyms to open in the UK & Ireland under master franchisor Empowered Brands, joining a growing global network of more than 100 UBX locations worldwide.

André Hordagoda, owner, UBX Wembley
To be open in the second location so soon after Media City feels incredible. It's one of those things where we didn't think that we'd get to that stage so soon, but things moved so fast at Media City, so now we're here it's unbelievable, and to introduce UBX to a new crowd as well, we couldn't ask for more.
Ben Waldron, co-owner, UBX Media City & UBX Alderley
We are a husband-and-wife team who started our franchise business journey in 2015 within the childcare sector. Having worked successfully in the franchise environment, we are excited to have become a part of the UBX team. The UBX concept, which has worked so well in Australia, we feel can adapt to fit the gap in the UK market. It is a concept and brand that is easy to get behind. We are thrilled to join a fantastic team in Empowered Brands and UBX UK to support us in creating this unique but incredibly dynamic workout environment. We plan to create an amazing location for individuals to workout, in a fun, friendly environment while learning a new set of skills.
Simon and Michelle Mobey (UBX Franchise Owners)
I was looking to diversify my investments in 2021 when I started investigating the market to identify a new boutique fitness brand. One of my objectives was to launch a new brand in the Irish market, which is why I started talking to UBX in 2022. I quickly negotiated a multi-license deal and UBX Stepaside was identified as the first location. I put together a small team of 2 other experienced fitness professionals and gym managers in Raff and Sergio who are also investors in UBX Stepaside. This close-knit team did an immense job in hitting our revenue targets and quickly completed an intense project to get the very first UBX open in Ireland. It was a thrilling experience to launch the first UBX in Ireland and we received great support from all the team at UBX UK & Ireland and head office in Australia.”
Andrew O'Donoghue (Owner UBX Stepaside, and multi-unit licence holder)

Neil Rushby, Owner UBX Sheffield, UBX Bath and Co-owner UBX Media City, UBX Alderley and UBX Windsor (Owner UBX Sheffield)
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.
