L.A. Boxing has been acquired by UFC Gyms, a company affiliated with - yes - the UFC mixed martial arts league. Hence, L.A. Boxing Bethesda's location at 4834 Cordell Avenue will soon change its name to, you guessed it, UFC Gym.
The new brand will bring a new workout program to the facility, combining general fitness with techniques derived from mixed martial arts. However, workouts will accomodate all levels from beginner to experienced. And don't be alarmed if you are a current member - they're not going to force you to fight fellow members. It will be a fitness club, not a Fight Club!
Expect the hefty corporate backing of UFC to boost your perks and bring new kinds of special events, however.
In that UFC just closed the gym and the complaints on-line about the treatment of customers sounds like the only thing the hefty corporate backing provided was pressure for cash flow at the expense of long-term customer support.
