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.

The investment
Simple, premium, transparent.
One premium format, sized to your market. Investment scales with the space you allocate.
Both FOFO (Franchise Owned, Franchise Operated) and FOCO (Franchise Owned, Company Operated) models are available. Figures are indicative and assigned per sq ft of the actual allocated space. Exact commercials are set in your signed agreement.
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.
Indicative surplus across the term
Investment amortised over the 9-year term, so it stays positive every year with no first-year dip. Illustrative shape only, not a forecast.
Indicative illustration only, shown after amortising your investment across the 9-year term. It is not a forecast or guarantee of returns. Actual performance varies by city, location, pricing, costs and operations. Final terms are confirmed in your franchise agreement.

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.
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.
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.
The co-founders
Founded by Tiger, Krishna & Ayesha Shroff.
Tiger, Krishna and Ayesha co-founded MMA Matrix and built it into a national brand, and behind every gym sits Matrix Fight Night, the family's professional MMA promotion. That's a category no rival franchise can put on your floor.
