UFC Gym will partner with former UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) star BJ Penn to establish a signature BJ Penn fitness facility in the fighter's home state of Hawaii.

The facility, located in Honolulu, will begin enrolling members this summer and is set to open in January 2012.

Integrating MMA, innovative fitness training, nutrition and youth programming, the 3,440sq m (37,000sq ft) UFC Gym Hawaii will offer training techniques inspired by Penn.

Sessions will include MMA classes, muay thai and jiujitsu, as well as progressive group fitness, UFC Kids' Gym youth training and the Daily Ultimate Training Series.

Facilities include functional training areas, group fitness rooms and the UFC Octagon.

Much like the three existing UFC Gym locations currently operating in California, UFC Gym members in Honolulu will also have access to a variety of amenities, including a café, UFC Gym Store for gym kit, and locker rooms complete with dry saunas.
