UBX, the boxing and strength franchise co-founded by four-time world champion boxer Danny Green and tech entrepreneur Tim West, has launched what it calls The Next Evolution — a global rollout of a new hybrid model.
The Next Evolution adds dedicated Strength Zones with barbells, cables, and Smith machines, along with enhanced one-on-one and small group personal training pathways. The hybrid model does so while retaining the signature coach-guided boxing and strength circuit that UBX is known for. The brand also introduces unmatched flexibility with 24/7 access to follow the UBX workout during unstaffed hours.
The Next Evolution brings together the energy of group training, the seriousness of a lifting-focused gym, and the individualized attention of a personal training studio.
