UFC GYM to Add In-House Longevity Clinics
UFC GYM announced a partnership with NexGen MD Scientific to launch advanced longevity clinics inside its gym locations. The clinics will provide members with access to services including peptide therapies, GLP-1 medications, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
- This initiative is part of a broader trend of fitness centers evolving into comprehensive wellness hubs by integrating medical and longevity services. - NexGen MD Scientific functions as a white-label telehealth platform and supply chain for longevity medicine, allowing facilities like UFC GYM to provide these services directly to their client base. - The partnership will launch with two initial flagship clinics inside UFC GYM locations, with intentions for a broader rollout across the gym's network. - Mark Mastrov, a key figure in this partnership, is a veteran of the fitness industry, having founded 24 Hour Fitness and played a significant role in the growth of other major gym brands. - This venture places UFC GYM in competition with other luxury fitness brands such as Equinox, which has introduced its own high-priced longevity program called "Optimize by Equinox" that includes biomarker testing and personalized health coaching. - The inclusion of GLP-1 medications taps into a rapidly expanding pharmaceutical market focused on weight management and diabetes. - Bob Thomas, the CEO of NexGen MD Scientific, has a history in the fitness industry and has publicly shared his personal success with using GLP-1 medication for weight loss. - According to UFC GYM CEO Adam Sedlack, the collaboration is an investment in providing members and staff with advanced tools for health optimization, improved recovery, and better performance.
