Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez may be an MLB Icon, but he is fast expanding to several other verticals. A-Rod has already made considerable inroads in business through his company A-Rod Corpn. And while primarily in real estate, he also has several other ventures. With a few facilities already up and running, A-rod is now looking to go one step further. With plans for the future still distant, A-Rod confirmed his plans to partner on a facility in Plantation, Florida.

The UFC GYM is an athlete conditioning and training facility. The unique offering is that the facility provides its members the ability to train and condition as UFC fighters. Rodriguez has shown tremendous interest in growing his fitness footprint. He has even secured the developmental rights to UFC FIT and UFC GYM locations throughout Miami-Dade County and intends to open more locations with time. He has also collaborated with UFC in several ventures before.

A-Rod looks to treat his body as best he can, as his Instagram followers can attest. And in doing so, perhaps he is also looking to inspire as many people as he can to take up the initiative too. Said Rodriguez, “I can’t wait to bring UFC FIT to Plantation, Florida, and provide the community with an unparalleled fitness experience and training program I believe in.

The CEO of UFC GYM, Adam Sedlack, too appeared fairly excited at the prospect. Said Sedlack, “We’re proud to continue our relationship with Alex, a world-class athlete and successful entrepreneur who shares a similar vision as us when it comes to providing a complete and holistic approach to balanced fitness.
