First In Market Fitness Concept Providing a New Evolution of Fitness This Fall
Urban Edge Properties (NYSE:UE) today announced that a first-to-market fitness experience, UFC Fitness, is coming to The Plaza at Woodbridge. This new 16,810 SF gym will be a UFC FIT Club, designed to showcase the best of what UFC Gym has to offer in terms of facilities, training programs, and services, and will fill a vacancy created by the departure of Retro Fitness.
UFC FIT Model Clubs feature a wide variety of MMA training programs and classes, incorporating techniques from disciplines such as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, Boxing, and Kickboxing as well as group fitness classes like Yoga, Pilates, Zumba, and other functional fitness programs for all levels. Additionally, the club offers personal training and functional training areas for high-intensity interval training (HIIT), circuit training, and other performance-focused workouts. Youth programs will introduce kids to martial arts and promote physical fitness from a young age.
“Bringing a UFC FIT Club to this space delivers a significant upgrade in fitness offerings for the surrounding area,” said Justin Lustig, VP of Leasing at Urban Edge Properties. “The Plaza at Woodbridge already enjoys high daily traffic, and this new use will complement our existing anchors, drawing new visitors from an even wider area.”
The Plaza at Woodbridge is located in the heart of Woodbridge, NJ on Route 1 across from Woodbridge Mall and about two miles from Menlo Park Mall. Anchored by Best Buy, Raymour & Flanigan, and Bed Bath & Beyond, the property is one of the most visited open-air centers in the market.
UFC Fitness was represented by Joe Brendel and Glenn Buyer of Newmark & Company Real Estate and Bill Oughton of NeV. Justin Lustig represented Urban Edge in-house.
