Pros

You can have a great, positive work environment if you have the positive people there to work with. Your schedule can be super flexible.

Cons

The Franchisee in the Vegas location had a lot of issues. Also, some people in a position of power within the company have a hard time being ethically responsible.

Pros

I enjoyed being able to talk about fitness and MMA all day long, as well as the sales structure of focusing appointments around classes rather than tours. For a gym manager coming from Gold's who also has 25 years of traditional martial arts experience, I thought this was a win-win.

Cons

This is predominantly a franchise model, and your experience will be up to the individual owner and how hands on/off they are. The corporate guys will waste your time with conference calls, etc, when at the end of the day they technically are not your bosses. They run sales promos frequently that undermine the value of an actual membership. To that end, most UFC Gym facilities are not set up to sell separate gym memberships and class packages- it's all or nothing. The commissions were only 10% of what I rang at the actual POS- not contract value. But dollars brought in right then and there. The equipment was okay, but any fighter worth anything will get Grant, Title, Combat Corner, etc etc. For that matter- you'll get phone calls all day long from people saying they'll be the next UFC champion. However, due to licensing and likeness right, you technically will not be running a fight gym as UFC Gym has NOTHING to do with the UFC fight promotion organization. And, you cannot send a UFC gym fighter into a different MMA circuit and have them be represented as FROM UFC Gym. It was a massive headache. You will need to go to each UFC pay per view event and sling memberships and since it is a franchise you will be unlikely to get health insurance.

Pros

Awesome team to work with- maybe the long hours more enjoyable. Great gym to sell to people- top of the line.

Cons

Long hours and very sales heavy- a little too heavy for most.
