UFC Gym to Hold Grand Opening at Newest Farmingdale Location

Farmingdale’s UFC GYM® grand opening attendees can meet local UFC athletes and enter a raffle to win tickets to attend the UFC's Madison Square Garden debut. UFC 205 will be the first-ever New York-hosted UFC event since professional mixed-martial arts became legal in the state earlier this year.

The 20,000-square-foot gym, located at 130 Broadhollow Road, will be the fourth of its kind on Long Island. Other UFC GYMs are located in Commack, Huntington Station and New Hyde Park.

A few UFC stars will make special guest appearance at the grand opening, including Long Island’s light heavyweight contender Gian Villante and featherweight contender Dennis “The Menace” Bermudez. No. 3 welterweight contender Tyron Woodley will be leading a free mixed martial arts seminar beginning at 1 p.m. (The full schedule of events is listed below)

“Our gym is truly an incredible facility and we are thrilled to showcase all the features and amenities to the local community,” UFC GYM Farmingdale franchise owner Scott Warantz said in a press release. “Unlike other gyms, our coaches include professional caliber athletes with years of experience in an array of training disciplines, eager to share their knowledge and passion with our members.”

The grand opening festivities will be held from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Attendees will also have the chance to win a flat screen T.V., two tickets to the historic UFC 205 on Saturday, Nov. 12 at Madison Square Garden and various other prizes.

Gym members will have access to the 30-foot Octagon® and various UFC-inspired workouts, like strength training and cardio machines, battle rope, agility ladders, bag room, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu studio, large group fitness rooms and other functional training equipment for dynamic workouts.

Guests can also obtain special grand opening incentives during the month of May.
