The network currently has nine established gyms across the UK and Ireland located in London (four outlets), Sheffield, Bath, Alderley and Stepaside in Dublin, with a tenth gym scheduled for Hammersmith in February 2026.

After successfully launching and running the first UBX London club in Wembley Park, Fight Path has appointed Izzy Huber into the national business development role to oversee the expansion and success of the network.

UBX said it’s recognised as the world’s fastest-growing boxing and strength brand, offering a distinctive workout that allows everyone to train like a professional fighter in a community-driven environment.

Each session combines boxing skills and drills with high-intensity cardio, explosive movements, and functional strength training, structured within a coach led 12-round circuit that keeps members engaged, challenged, and motivated.

‘UK fitness sector is booming’
With the increasing focus on health and well-being, UBX sees tremendous potential for its training model as the UK fitness sector is booming, driven by growing consumer demand and evolving trends.

In 2024, the industry reached a record £5.7bn in revenue – an increase of 8.8 per cent year-on-year – with 11.5 million members and over 600 million gym visits.

Herman commented: “It’s an incredibly exciting time for UBX as we continue to redefine the fitness landscape. Our expansion reflects not only UBX’s global momentum, which spans four continents, but also our firm commitment to building healthier, stronger communities and creating new opportunities for both members and franchisees.”
