UFC Gym is a dynamic and bold design project for a fitness center with a focus on martial arts.
Located on the ground floor of Berlin's most famous and expensive street, the design of the facility requires special attention to lighting and safety. Meeting the strict franchise requirements of UFC Gym and demonstrating the world-renowned standard of German quality was a must.

The main idea of the UFC Gym Core design project and concept is to focus on group classes and martial arts.
The martial arts style is determined by the professional octagon for MMA training, which is located in the heart of the club.

The total area of the project is relatively small and the team had to develop a system for flexible transformation of the fighting areas. In particular, a special design of the punching bag attachment points allows them to be moved around to increase the BJJ area.

The design of the club features a dark ceiling and light floor, with chaotically scattered concrete columns to maintain the brutal nature of the space.

One of the features of the club is the bespoke lighting in the changing rooms. A natural lighting scenario used in the space disguises the fact that the club is on the ground floor.
