Why it's the best gym franchise in India

A premium gym with a moat.

Everything a serious gym offers, strength, cardio, functional and recovery, plus the one thing rivals can never put on your floor: an MMA cage and a home-grown fight promotion. That's what turns a gym into a destination, and a destination into pricing power.

01 Full-service premium gym:

World-class strength, cardio, functional training, Pilates, group studio classes and recovery, plus dedicated kids’ MMA batches, the complete floor members expect from a premium brand.

02 The MMA edge:

An MMA cage and full combat-sports curriculum, backed by Matrix Fight Night, a category no other fitness brand can copy.

03 Faster payback:

Investment payback within 24 months*, quicker than the national chains, across six-plus diversified revenue lines.

04 Done-with-you setup:

Location, design, interiors, equipment, certified-trainer onboarding and a structured launch playbook.

05 Territory exclusivity:

A protected catchment so your investment isn't competing with the brand next door.

06 Invest or operate:

FOFO if you want to run it yourself; FOCO if you'd rather invest while the brand operates it for you.

What goes on the floor

A facility members can't get anywhere else.

The complete premium floor, shot at our Mumbai flagship, plus the one thing rivals can’t put on theirs.

The returns

Recovered fast, then yours for the term.

Your investment is spread across the full 9-year agreement term, so the model is built to return a surplus every year, from Year 1 onward. Most partners recover their investment within the first 24 months*; the years that follow are return.

Get the full economics for your city

A system, not a logo licence

Everything a national chain gives you, and more.

We assess your catchment, help secure the right footprint, and design the floor for flow and revenue.

02 Turnkey equipment & fit-out:

Built and equipped with BH Fitness, Life Fitness & Precor, the same spec in every city.

03 Matrix Training Academy:

A certified MMA and fitness trainer pipeline, onboarded and held to a single brand standard.

04 Central marketing engine:

Pre-launch, launch and ongoing campaigns, amplified by Tiger, Krishna & Ayesha Shroff and Matrix Fight Night, reach no rival can offer.

05 Technology stack:

Member CRM, booking and the MMA Matrix app, run the whole business on one system from day one.

06 Dedicated success manager:

One point of contact from signature to a 12–14 week opening, then ongoing operational reviews.

From our franchise owners

Partners already building with us.

Members across India love the product and stay for the community, which is what keeps a franchise full.

I signed MMA Matrix for Gulbarga a few months ago and can already feel the buzz spreading via word of mouth. I'm confident of the gym's success, the pre-planning and strategy from the team have been spot on.

Jayesh SangaFranchise Partner, MMA Matrix Gulbarga

We launched MMA Bangalore three months ago and it's been seamless. Coming from an IT background, the FOCO model was a strategic decision that paid off, we've already surpassed our monthly revenue targets.

Pratik GuptaFranchise Partner, MMA Matrix Bangalore (FOCO)

From day one the support and training have been incredible. Expert guidance and strong branding made the launch smooth, we're already seeing great turnout and a growing community.

Franchise FAQ

Everything investors ask us.

What is the best gym franchise to own in India?
MMA Matrix is a full-service premium gym, strength, cardio, functional training and recovery, with an MMA cage backed by Matrix Fight Night, a category rivals can't replicate, combined with full operational support and payback within 24 months.*
How much does an MMA Matrix Gym franchise cost?
Starting investment is from ₹1.5 Cr plus GST, from a minimum of 4,000 sq ft. The exact figure is assigned per sq ft of your actual allocated space and scales with city and size.
How long until I break even?
Indicative investment payback is within 24 months*, on a 9-year agreement, typically faster than the national chains.
How much space do I need?
A minimum of 4,000 sq ft. We help you identify and assess sites in your target catchment.
What's the difference between FOFO and FOCO?
FOFO (Franchise Owned, Franchise Operated) means you own and run the gym. FOCO (Franchise Owned, Company Operated) means you invest and the brand operates it for you. Both are available depending on how hands-on you want to be.
Do I need fitness industry experience?
No. The franchisor provides location identification, design, equipment, certified-trainer onboarding, a launch playbook and ongoing operations and marketing support, so first-time investors can own and run a gym successfully.
Is there anything for kids, and who are the members?
Every gym runs dedicated kids’ MMA batches alongside the full adult floor, with members from age 5 to 70+. A multi-generational, whole-family base means more memberships and steadier revenue than a single-segment gym.
Which cities are available?
We're live and expanding across India, with locations signed in Mumbai, Pune, Gurugram, Amritsar, Ludhiana, Bengaluru, Jabalpur, Ahilyanagar and more. Apply with your city and we'll confirm territory availability.
