First Installation Complete in Corona, California
OxyEdge has been selected as the mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy provider for UFC Gyms, marking a major step in the evolution of performance and recovery inside commercial fitness.
The first OxyEdge chamber is now installed at the Corona, California location. The system will go live in the final week of April as a core part of the gym's recovery division.
The Scale Behind the Opportunity
UFC Gyms operates roughly 170 locations worldwide, with an estimated 8,000 members per location. That scale demands structured recovery systems that support:
- High training frequency
- Injury prevention
- Faster recovery cycles
- Premium member experiences
Each location is designed to serve both general fitness members and performance-driven athletes. Recovery services are built to keep both groups consistent and engaged.
Inside the Recovery Division
UFC Gyms' recovery division focuses on keeping members training at a high level without breakdown. It combines multiple modalities into one system:
- Cryotherapy
- Compression therapy
- Assisted stretching and mobility work
- Soft tissue and recovery services
- Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (mHBOT)
mHBOT now anchors that stack as a repeatable, scalable recovery tool.
Why 1.5 ATA Was Selected
The Corona installation operates at 1.5 ATA, which is the ideal range for recovery-based use inside a gym environment.
At this pressure level, members receive increased oxygen delivery while maintaining comfort and efficient session flow. This matters in a high-volume setting where consistency and throughput drive results.
OxyEdge systems are engineered up to 2.0 ATA, giving UFC Gyms the option to expand into higher-pressure applications in the future. For daily recovery, 1.5 ATA delivers the right balance.
Performance Advantages of mHBOT
Mild hyperbaric therapy works by increasing atmospheric pressure while delivering oxygen through a concentrator. This improves oxygen diffusion into plasma and supports the body's recovery processes.
In a gym environment, the benefits are direct and measurable:
Faster Recovery Cycles
- Supports muscle repair after intense sessions
- Reduces downtime between workouts
Increased Oxygen Delivery
- Enhances circulation efficiency
- Supports cellular energy production
Reduced Inflammation
- Helps manage strain from repeated training
- Supports consistent performance
Improved Mental Clarity
- Supports focus and recovery under stress
- Helps members stay sharp across training cycles
Higher Training Capacity
- Enables more frequent sessions without burnout
- Supports structured programming at scale
This is why mHBOT is moving into mainstream performance environments.
Execution in Corona, California
OxyEdge deployed a four-person team to Corona to ensure a complete rollout from day one. The scope included:
- Chamber installation and pressure testing
- Staff training through OxyEdge certification protocols
- Deployment of custom software centered on safety and session control
- Integration into the gym's recovery workflow
Every step focused on one outcome: safe, repeatable operation in a commercial setting.
Driving Early Adoption
Launch matters. Member engagement starts on day one. OxyEdge supported the rollout with:
- Branded giveaways to drive interest and trial
- On-site education for staff and members
- Clear positioning of mHBOT as a premium recovery service
The goal is simple. Get members in the chamber. Deliver results. Build routine use.
What Comes Next
The Corona location serves as the foundation for broader expansion across the UFC Gyms network. The rollout model is structured:
- Standardized training and safety systems
- Consistent recovery protocols across locations
- Scalable integration into existing services
OxyEdge supports this with engineered systems, training infrastructure, and ongoing support.
The Shift in Fitness
Training alone is no longer enough.
Performance requires recovery. Recovery requires systems.
mHBOT fits directly into that model.
OxyEdge is now positioned at the center of how large-scale fitness operators deliver it.
