The vendor opportunity at UFC Gym
UFC Gym operates 59 total locations in the United States, with 58 franchised units and a single company-owned gym. The brand reported an average unit volume of $3,971,640 in its 2026 FDD, signaling healthy per-location revenue that supports technology investment. Year-over-year unit growth declined by 12.1%, but the existing base of 59 locations represents a concentrated, single-operator market: all 67 mapped operators are single-unit franchisees, with no multi-unit groups. The geographic footprint is heaviest in California (20 units), Texas (9), Illinois (6), Florida (5), and New Jersey (4). For software vendors, this means a relatively small but high-AUV target with centralized purchasing control.
Who controls software purchasing
Technology decisions at UFC Gym flow through corporate leadership. The 2026 FDD identifies Adam Sedlack as CEO and President, Ryan Utsman as Executive Vice President of Global Sales & Domestic Franchise, Curtis Braden as Vice President of Franchise Development, and Joseph Beckles as Vice President of Franchise Operations. This group constitutes the buying center for any software vendor seeking to sell into the franchise system. Because the brand mandates specific technology platforms, any pitch must address how a solution complements or replaces existing mandated tools, and it must win approval from this HQ team rather than individual franchisees.
Mandated and current tech stack
UFC Gym’s 2026 FDD mandates four technology components for franchisees: ClubConnect, a Gym Management System, Myzone, and the UFC GYM Intranet system. ClubConnect likely serves as the member management and engagement platform, while Myzone provides heart-rate-based training and performance tracking. The Gym Management System and Intranet round out the operational backbone. Vendors selling CRM, marketing automation, payment processing, or access control should understand how their tools integrate with these mandated systems. The FDD does not disclose whether these are exclusive designated suppliers or approved vendors, but the mandate language suggests franchisees have no discretion to opt out.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
The 2026 FDD does not include an Item 8 procurement extract, so the formal supplier designation process remains opaque. However, the existence of mandated systems implies a top-down procurement model where HQ selects and requires technology. Renewal conditions appear in Item 17, stating that if a franchisee renews their franchise agreement, they must also engage the manager’s services for the renewal term, subject to a new management agreement using the franchisor’s then-current standard form. No initial term length is disclosed, making it difficult to predict natural contract windows. Vendors should approach HQ directly to understand current technology satisfaction and any upcoming RFP cycles.
How to read the UFC Gym FDD
The full 2026 UFC Gym Franchise Disclosure Document is available below. This document, filed with state franchise regulators, contains the legal and operational disclosures that govern the franchise relationship. For software vendors, the most relevant sections are Item 11 (franchisor’s assistance, advertising, computer systems, and training), which lists mandated technology, and Item 1 (the franchisor and any parents, predecessors, and affiliates), which names the executives who control purchasing. Item 8, when present, clarifies whether the franchisor designates exclusive suppliers or maintains an approved vendor list. In this FDD, Item 8 is absent, so vendors must rely on the mandate signals in Item 11 and direct outreach to the HQ team. For a ranked target list of franchise systems that match your software category, FranCloud can help you prioritize outreach.
