UFC Gym announced the promotion of Adam Sedlack to CEO while the fitness center’s former CEO, Mark Mastrov, will move on as executive chairman.
Sedlack has nearly three decades of experience in health club industry leadership roles and spent 12 of those as UFC Gym’s president. With Mastrov, Sedlack joined UFC Gym as a co-founder in 2008 and helped build the concept to more than 150 locations in 37 countries with over 800 locations in global development.
“I’ve shadowed Mark’s iconic leadership since 1994 and watched as the UFC Gym business model reshaped our industry and set the tone for the future of fitness. Over the years, we’ve built an incredible team and, in the wake of the pandemic, our dedicated corporate employees, franchisees, field leaders and fitness enthusiasts stood together through the toughest of times under a common goal, to make the world a better place through health and wellness. Being a part of UFC Gym’s foundational story from the start has been an honor and I am humbled to step up to this extended leadership position,” said Sedlack. “Looking ahead, UFC Gym’s position in the fitness industry has never been better and 2021 will be our biggest year yet. Overall, I am very grateful to guide this team that represents UFC Gym’s goal in bringing purpose to fitness through work ethic and passion to create a legacy.”
In his new role, Sedlack will move the brand’s development further doubling its corporate footprint in 2021, starting with the brand’s Las Vegas, NV debut next month.
“Starting UFC Gym over a decade ago, our goal was to offer a unique, premium, and wholistic fitness experience to members at an affordable price that couldn’t be found elsewhere. Beginning this journey, I knew I needed a fortified team by my side and, after working alongside Adam at 24 Hour Fitness for 17 years, he was instantly one of the first people who came to mind,” said Mastrov. “It’s incredible to see how far this brand has come, even despite obstacles seen throughout the past year. Adam has been a true pillar of that success for our brand and it’s a pleasure to continue working alongside him in his new role.”
